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 youâd 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cranston, RI | $439.64 | $1,143.60 |
| Rhode Island | $439.64 | $1,143.60 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $439.64 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Cranston, RI, with an average hourly rate of $74.38. 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 | $330.98 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $382.60 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $442.60 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $414.69 | 2 movers | 2.9 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $484.81 | 2 movers | 3 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $584.14 | 3 movers | 3.4 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $730.63 | 3 movers | 4.4 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, itâs considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | â | â |
| Unloading Help | â | â |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

Originally requested four helpers for unloading my pods. Was informed that only three were coming due to illness. The three helpers that came worked extremely hard, completing my unload within the three hour window. Very impressed on efficiency that they showed. High recommend A Plus Moving!
The guys were terrific! Worked hard to complete the job on time and took good care with our stuff. We’re very pleased with the service and would use them again.
Terrell and Quinn were the best movers I've ever had (and im old!). They both were so polite, great communication and did above and beyond helping me. I highly recommend these movers and company for anyone wanting the best out there! Thank you Terrell and Quinn! Stay safe.
A one helpers arrived on time. David and George were awsome. They were both hard working and very respectful to us and how they handled our furniture. I would hire them again in a heart beat. I will definitely refer our family and friends to them. If you are moving don't hesitate to use them.
George and his helper were wonderful. They managed to get bedroom furniture to the second floor over the balcony since my spiral staircase is too narrow. They are the best!
This is our second time using Ryan, he is truly fast and hardworking. Ryan is professional, pleasant, and communicates well. Both times, he brought helpers who were also hardworking and pleasant. I would definitely recommend them.
Mike and Thomas did a great job! They were kind, helpful and accomodating. It was a tough job and they did it knowledgably and as quivkly as possible. Thank you so much for helping us get this move done. Janice Belmonte
Super. Great attitudes. Fast AND careful. You can trust them with your home's belongings. Grateful that I had this crew for the job; wish I'd had them at the other end, 500 miles away.
I can’t say enough good things about the two guys who helped us pack up our box truck for our move today. They were courteous, helpful, punctual, and outstanding packers. Highly recommend them! Thanks so much!
On time: YES Prepared: YES Worked REALLY hard: ABSOLUTELY Very respectful of property and goods: YES Answer all questions and return phone calls promptly: YES Pleasant to talk to and ask questions: YES I ABSOLUTELY would call on them again, you get the job done when you hire them.
They did a great job! Very pleased! They work efficiently and swiftly! I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them for any future moving needs!
Terrell and Quinn were absolutely amazing. First of all, they were right on time. Then they looked at what was to be moved so they could visualize the best way to pack to use up as much space as possible and I felt that they treated my possessions like they would their own. 100% RECOMMENDED!

All Cranston 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.
