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 convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Colfax, IL | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $408.32 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Colfax, IL, with an average hourly rate of $77.41. 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.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $322.16 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $370.83 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |

| 5 Bedroom House | $666.30 | 3 movers | 3.9 hours |
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.

278 Colfax Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,859 verified customer reviews
Quick, professional, hard working. They are also skillful at packing large trucks. They got my 26 foot moving truck loaded in under 3 hours and nothing shifted or broke during my 1000 mile move! It’s also a plus that it is a family/locally owned company with female leadership! Best movers I’ve ever worked with.
Jeff and Brian were WONDERFUL. Very caring, on time, respectful, and worked hard. I am a Realtor in town, and have sung their praises to all. I would hire that team again in a heartbeat. My client was an older gal who couldn't have been happier with their professionalism and friendliness. A++++
Travis and Cam did a WONDERFUL JOB ?? I will definitely recommend them anyone who is worrying about their packing with PODS. In the beginning I was worrying about not being able to fit all my stuff in the 16ft trail. In the end they did with a lot of sweat. Thanks ??
This crew helped us out at the very last minute. Worked well, unloaded the truck quickly and were very kind. I can't say enough good things about this crew. I am also very pleased with hire a helper. Great service!
Yes, they were prepared for the job and worked hard. They worked together as a great team. Yes, they were very respectful of me and my property. Yes, I would definitely use them again.
Riley and the entire team were terrific. Conscientious, prompt, and even cheerful. It was a challenging move - furniture up tight stairwells, almost a hundred boxes, and a hot muggy day. Nothing was dropped or damaged. They were efficient, and tracked their time accurately. Have already referred friends to Nu Day Moving. Highly recommended.
Arrived in agreed upon window. Were prepared for the job. Worked like rented mules while being as careful as possible with our goods. Would definitely use again if I had need.
If you have a choice between Chuck and another service "go with Chuck". They were prompt and efficient, made the most of time and space, handled/loaded our furniture with great care. Thanks Chuck for your help. Sam Y.
The team that came out to do our home was a last minute switch. They were very professional, prompt and knew exactly how to pack the truck. We had very heavy and expensive items and they handles with care and ask questions on how we wanted things packed. Very awesome team.
Alpha arrived on time, they were courteous and friendly, and worked quickly and efficiently. All of our items were handled with care and placed carefully in each room. I would highly recommend Alpha Moving Assistance.
Can't say enough about their work ethic and attitude very positive! I have used them twice now two years in a row. Frankie is a great leader and teacher to new movers.
Doug and his crew are amazing. Their experience and knowledge really helped me sort my PODs. They are careful with all my belongings even when they are not labeled "fragile". Highly recommend!

HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it.

All Colfax 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
