The Cost of Labor-Only vs. 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.

The two helpers from Morris Moving arrived on time and wasted no time unloading our 20" truck. We were impressed at how they carefully moved our belongings in just a little over an hour. Well worth every penny. Wish we used the service loading. Will make sure to use them on our next move. Thank you so much!!!

These movers went above and beyond. I was moving my 85 year old grandmother who has a lot of antiques. They took their time wrapping and making sure nothing broke. I drove from Texas to Florida, NOTHING broke. Also, when they arrived I got the Penske truck stuck in the mud and they helped me get it out. Wonderful men, wonderful company. Highly recommend.

Jerome and Jose did an awesome job! They were quick and efficient and very friendly too! So thankful I found them. They accomplished in two hours what it took me 12 hours to do on my own when I initially moved into the storage room. My aching back says thank you also! ???? Great job gentleman! Would definitely use these guys again.

Great helpers. They were about 10 minutes late but they had to drive over an hour. It was 2 helpers and unloaded a truck for a 2 bedroom apartment in really good time! Treated our stuff well. One of the helpers saw my guitar and actually played a song for us when they were done! Very friendly! Would definitely recommend.

They were late showing up by 30 min but once they got there they worked their butts off. Super friendly, super efficient, they absolutely earned their pay. And this is with the temperature at 103°. They were very careful to not ding walls or damage what they were moving.

Can not ask for more! A quiet, smooth, and peaceful moving experience. They drive two and half hours to help me move and they have not charged for their travel cost. Their price is low and real. You know many in town moving service charge a cost for the destination fee. In College Station, I asked three companies they charge 50/person for travel within 10 miles. What a great team! God bless!

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in College Station

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

 

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 College Station 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.
