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, itās considerably more affordable.

Mighty Mike’s Moving booked us in short order in the middle of a blizzard when the other company that we had hired no showed. They were able to get a crew out to our home within 24 hours and their movers were amazing! Kind, considerate, professional and well organized. We will definitely be using them again!
The K-crew showed up right on schedule and were absolutely amazing to work with! They were friendly, courteous, professional and they took great care in making sure everything was secure and well packed in my PODS container! They were awesome and I would love to work with them again! Highly recommended!!!
The two men were so nice and did such a great job despite the heat advisory and severe thunderstorm we had during the move. Would highly recommend them to anyone! They also did a great job fitting everything into a 16 foot truck when I had originally reserved a 26 foot truck but one was not available at the last minute.
The team was courteous, very efficient and extremely careful in our new home and with our furniture. They even had a great sense of humor when we mistakenly told them not once, not twice, but three times that the queen sized mattress needed to go up or down stairs...opposite of wherever it was!!! Thanks for the great job.
Robbie communicated very well with move. Actuall he called the same night of the order! He is a Pro in loading our 26 Box truck. Will use him again definately. Yep it was an "Amazing load!" ....Tom J
These guys are wonderful. They were actually 1/2 hr early which definitely worked for us. I have to think they were quite the magicians to get so much into that POD. They handled all the items with care. We would definitely use them again. Thanks for all the hard work! Kay & Dave
They did a really awesome job! I hired two other movers on this move, but neither came close to the job Mighty Mike’s did. They were very efficient, friendly and respected every piece they moved. Not to forget to mention, pricing was better then the others I have used. I will always chose this company for any moving needs I have.
The two guys were very helpful, very respectful, moved things exactly where and how requested, and made sure things that were moved out of the way got put back. If we need more help, I will call these guys! I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Justin and Allen worked together with me and they made the job (almost) fun. They were efficient, competent, professional and very friendly. They treated my Mom's things as if they were their own.
The two young men that came out to unload us were just great! They called me ahead of time to let me know they were on the way.They were very careful of the furniture and put everything where I needed it to be. They were completely prepared for the work and finished everything in the time frame alloted. I would hire this company again and highly recommend them.
We previously had Tyler and Jake load our moving truck and this time we had Tyler, Jake, and Brice unload it. They were great, once again! They unloaded a 4 bedrm house in under 2 hours! Very careful with our items in our new house, very conscious of the new carpet and took their shoes off. They were on time and worked hard. Very easy going yet professional. Highly recommend!
Phil and Ted worked well together, fast, safe and careful. We will use them again with completion of our floor finishing project. Highly recommend them.

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.
