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.

Henry and Roger were absolutely amazing! They finished the job in amazing time, were so careful with our things, and did it all with a smile and a great attitude. They deserve a raise, seriously, they were fantastic! Thank you so much and we appreciate you two so very much.
They really know how to pack a POD! They padded everything and made sure to secure it into the POD with intermediate straps and ropes! They are all business and hard workers and were very nice to deal with! John Allen
Roger and Hector were amazing! So kind, efficient, and helpful. They arrived on time and worked so quickly! I highly recommend them to assist with your move!
Tim & George showed up to work. Once, I saw them jogging from station to station to organize the next piece of furniture to loan into truck, I knew they were going to work hard & smart. They both were really helpful and had really positive attitudes. I would definitely hire them again.
Vladimir and his team were extremely efficient and very careful with all the belongings. I was amazed at how little space they were able to fit everything in.
Anthony and his helper were outstanding! They kept us informed of their arrival time, worked non-stop and asked where each piece/box was to be placed. Very professional, courteous and conscientious.
Rob and Rich were great. Tall, strong and very charming, they did a terrific job and very quickly moved all of our possession into the pod in our driveway. I can see why they’re named Speed Movers. We’ll definitely be booking them to move us back into our house.
These guys were very good. Heavy items down a flight of stairs and loaded the 16' pod without supervision. Real movers, not a couple of day laborers.
The crew from Rigas Movers showed up and on time and was super efficient, moved heavy furniture, boxes, etc out of our moving pod and up several flights of stairs. We couldn’t have moved in over the weekend without their help
I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. The team was professional, worked efficiently while taking the time to protect my furniture and fragile items. Communication was clear, and the crew was courteous and respectful. I would highly recommend them for anyone else looking for reliable and high quality moving services.
Speedy movers did an amazing job! They got there early, brought an extra helper and were unpack in 30 minutes! I would highly recommend Speedy Movers!
Wonderful job!!! They were very efficient !! I had so much stuff and a flight of stairs but they just got right to work and all of my belongings are safe with me :) would highly recommend!!

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 Dana Point 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.
