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.

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

| Unloading Help | â | â |

One worker was early, while the second worker was 20 minutes late, so the time equaled out and we were not charged any additional time beyond the contracted time. Both workers were very respectful of our possessions, and the moving truck was packed efficiently and carefully. They worked hard during the entire time of the loading of the truck.
We had a great experience. Their movers were professional, kind and hard working. They were very careful with all our things… more so than I would have been. The owners are great and were personally involved to make sure our move was successful. They are committed to getting the job done and taking away some of the stress that moving brings.
Jonathan and crew worked hard. Unfortunately we miscalculated and didn't have enough time scheduled but they were able to add another hour to help finish the heavy stuff and get it loaded.
Amazing Job. They packed everything carefully and wrapped the furniture. They were also very helpful in saving us time to breakdown/not break down certain items. Very experienced, would hire them again if we were moving in the area.
The guys were wonderful!! They arrived during the agreed upon arrival window and were very friendly and agreeable to work with. They were careful with our belongings and very efficient with their packing! I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
They were very careful and thoughtful moving everything, heavy, bulky and all. No scratches anywhere. Polite, asked where things went and helped ove them on the right position. Called ahead to understand the stairs and location better. I would highly recommend them.
Quin and Ivan where very careful with my belongings, also very courteous. Ivan left his flat head tool and I would like to return it. How can I do that? He was kind as to put the table together. Quin, the young fellow was on time, friendly and kind. Quin, was kind as to put my bed frame together. Great job guys! I recommend this company!
Ronnie and LA did an awesome job! I'm 63 and was exhausted from the week I had spent packing and loading, so I sat, pointed, and instructed --- they did all the rest. It really, really was "stress free"! If I have to move again (and, hopefully, I won't!), I will be giving them a call. Thanks guys!
The crew arrived on time and were bery professional. They took care of the items marked fragile and were able to load all of the items onto the truck. When we got to our destination, nothing had been broken. I would highly recommend them and plan on using them again.
Matt and Pedro were amazing! They were friendly and professional, and they moved quickly and with great care for our belongings. I would highly recommend them to others!
Very happy with the crew from Five Star Movers! Great communication on arrival time, they are ahead of schedule and we were ready for them. They were very efficient and loaded out truck carefully and securely. Would highly recommend them for your next move.
The crew was young and did an excellent job. They unloaded 4 pods and a smallish moving truck. I had no nicks in my walls or furniture and they were flexible during the unloading process. I would hire them again and definitely recommend them!

And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât 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 clicksâeven 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. 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. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Cowlitz 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.
