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.

468 Clear Lake Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,898 verified customer reviews
They worked quicky and efficienctly. They were very polite and respectful. Only a few minor dings with walls and furniture but that would have happened if I had moved the stuff myself too. They arrived late but called to let me know they were running behind. Overall I would definitely use them again.
The two guys that helped us move were amazing. Called in advance. On time. They were very knowledgeable and created a plan to pack the two moving containers. They did an amazing job. No issues or damage to anything. I would definitely use them again!!! I recommend them to everyone!
These guys were awesome! My friends that were supposed to help move bailed last minute leaving me with no plan. North Star Movers were so friendly and accommodating to help me out that day. Honestly could not recommend them enough, and will definitely use them in the future the next time I need some help!
They were running late for the job. Requested 0900 and they didn't get there until 1030. The timing was OK, but would have been nice to have a little front end time to show them around and what they would be doing exactly. They jumped right in and started working once they got there. They were respectful of the property and the facility. I would use them again.
Minute Men did an amazing job of loading my pod! They were punctual, professional, and trustworthy workers. Minute Men took on my home move last minute when another moving company didn't show up. I'm grateful for their service and will definitely use them again! Thank you!
The two gentlemen took extra care with my furniture. They unloaded the entire container within an hour, then helped us move other heavy boxes and furniture to their correct places. Very polite, friendly and extremely helpful.
The two movers I had were absolutely fabulous. They jumped right to work, handled my items with care, and were really professional. I would definitely recommend them to others if you are looking for less hassle and ease. They were there to get the job done without trying to prolong the work. Definitely an excellent experience!!
Quincy & Cameron were polite, professional. I enjoyed working with them. They called to confirm their arrival time. They did a great job wrapping my furniture & loading the trailer. They worked hard to accommodate my 2 hour requested time. They loaded the trailer carefully & were mindful of space. Thank you Quincy @ Cameron.
Honestly when I order the small container I was not sure we would be able to get everything thing it. The packers are going to have to be very good. And they were!!! It is filled completely but they got it all in. We were very impressed.
Sam and Gabrielle were fantastic. They were professional, worked hard the time I hired them for, handle my things with care, and packed my pod with precision.
The team from 5 Star Movers arrived on time and was ready to work. What I especially appreciated is that they looked over everything that needed to be packed because we had stuff in the basement and main floor as well as the garage. They asked questions and then made a plan, and when they were done our stuff was packed and the container was full - no wasted space!
This move was not a desired one, and many things went wrong with it...except for the gentlemen from HireAHelper that helped us move. From the moment the got to the house they worked every bit as hard as my husband and our friend. Stopped long enough to eat and was right back to work even before we were. I would most definitely hire them again, and I would tell friends about your facility as well.

All Clear Lake 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 SmartProtectionā¢āan 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 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. 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.
