|---|---|---|
| Chelsea, MI | $476.65 | $1,203.11 |

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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

| Unloading Help | ā | ā |

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 336,027 verified customer reviews
They were super quick and very efficient with my move. They were willing to walk a block from my moving truck to my apartment too. Really nice people too.
The crew did an awesome job! They were on time and worked hard the whole time. They took care with our things and were efficient. Definitely recommend!
The crew was professional, efficient, and very flexible. They took the time to arrange everything exactly the way I wanted and handled all of our belongings with care. Their positive attitude and attention to detail made the move smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Great service. Used them to unload to move when I arrived at this apt. Used them to load my truck. Great communication, hard workers and came prepared for a long walk as we discussed. Would stay late if needed.
Davon And Tracy moved all of our heavy furniture out of our home today. They worked two hours in high humidity and high temperatures. They were very flexible with timing, they had smiles and asked questions to make sure that they were fulfilling my every request. It’s rare to get such Service. It was a pleasure working with both of them! I give them the highest marks!
Grade A movers were great. Showed up on time, were very efficient with loading and maximizing everything fits in there, and took care with my items. I highly recommend!
These guys were awesome. If I could give additional stars I would because they went above and beyond. They were fast and so careful with everything! Thank you again!!
They were on time, and well prepared for the job. Both of them worked very hard. They were very careful with all of our furniture, and made sure they didn't damage any walls. We would hire them again a heart beat, and highly recommend them!
They arrived on time and immediately went to work. They were very careful with my possessions and followed instructions on where I wanted items placed. They were professional and respectful and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them for future jobs.
Excellent team. Very hard working and effective. Quite a bit better than the team that loaded us up. Would highly recommend. Hire-A Helper was not such a pleasure to deal with. Very difficult to get through to on the phone. I learned to be wary of add-on charges like two kinds of insurance to protect me from their workers damaging my items.
They came two hours late and didn’t bring their tool box. Nice friendly and hard working people. They couldn’t move out the queen mattress box, which was surprising. Also took lots of effort in taking the sofa out of the front door with some minor wall damage (finally after removing the front door and glass screen, at my request). Overall, I will give them 4.0 star rating.
Crew members arrived right on time, and went straight to work. Did a great job making sure to utilize proper spacing in the U-Haul. Surprised on how much work they did on a short amount of time. Would definitely book with them again!

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 moverās 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 haveāmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it.
