Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-OnlyLocal-Full Service
Ceres, CA$458.12$1,152.13
California$458.12$1,152.13
The United States$451.87$1,167.76
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $458.12 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Ceres, CA, with an average hourly rate of $81.03. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

What Is Labor-Only?

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.

Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

George and Antwon were very efficient and easy going. My only complaint would be that they were a little stingy with shrink wrap on the furniture towards the end as they were running low. Still, they deserve an excellent rating, and we hope who we hire to unload will do as well.

I'm not sure where to start, Conner Moving was absolutely fantastic. They arrived a few minutes early and were ready to get started. We walked them through the rooms that we needed furniture/boxes moved, and they got to work immediately. Did they work hard? That wouldn't even begin to describe the stellar performance this team did. I highly recommend them for your moving needs.

The "Four D's" as I called them were great. They were professional, friendly and hardworking. They cleaned up after themselves (helped fold the Uhaul pads) and were generally great guys. I hope I don't have to move soon, but if I do, All Safe Moving would be my first choice and will be told to everyone I know.

Lewis Moving Company did a great job with our move! They handled our boxes and loaded our truck with ease.

The movers did a good job moving and were done 1 hour early. As I realized there were still some boxes to move into my garage, one of the helpers got upset that I did not tell them to move them sooner. It was like he was upset that I was asking them to work for more time. His attitude was a little edgy and abrupt thereafter.

Jarvis was the ultimate professional, and we had a great experience with the Keep It Moving Team. I would have to say that they went above and beyond for us. One example of this is the fact that Jarvis took that time during the unloading process to make sure that all of our items were in the right rooms. Great guys... we would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to friends.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Ceres

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Ceres.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All Ceres movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
