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.

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.

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 Minutemen crew was great. They were very professional and careful with all of our items. The only criticism was that they were scheduled to show up between 9-10am and did not arrive until 10:30. They did call by 9:30 to let me know, and there was some unexpected traffic issues that caused their delay.

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.

Great guys to work with. They were early arriving, they worked hard moving some difficult pieces up our staircase and They were very willing to add help with extra items. They also were concerned about how things were packed in our trailer so items wouldn’t get damaged during the move. I would definitely use them again.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!! Those boys worked at a high speed but were very careful with our items and packed the truck like a jigsaw puzzle.

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.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Cold Spring

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

 

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 Cold Spring 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.
