|---|---|---|
| Dayton, VA | $426.39 | $1,099.54 |

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.

AB was the most accomodating person ever!! I had some issues and he rearranged his schedule to help me out!! The most friendly and hardest working movers ever. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I would definitely use them again.
We have used movers for the past 4 moves and Star Struck Movers have been the best movers by far! They are very professional, experts in moving and prove they care about your items like it were their own. We are so thankful for the team that moved our 4 bd house in 8 hours (load and unload!). We recommend Star Struck Movers for your next move.
I have moved a lot. Large moves, small moves, cross town, cross country. I have used expensive big companies and starving students. I've seen it all. But these guys were unreal. I would highly recommend them.
These guys were great! They arrived on time which means a lot to me,they were careful with my stuff and they were really fast.The work they did in the time they did it could not be beat!I would recommend them to everyone.
They sent and extra man -in training-, worked very hard and fast. Sam was a master at arranging everything and got far more in the POD than I thought possible. They finished in the agreed upon time. I plan to hire them to unload at the new place. Sam and his young assistant were outstanding!
The team arrived on time and we’re very careful with our things. We were grateful as we’ve moved many times and have not always had a good experience. They were professional and respectful, I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.
Overall, I'm just satisfied with the job. One of the men that came to help was seemingly lazy. They did leave my walls dirty and didn't offer to pay or clean them. I say we got what we paid for.
The two men were here a little early, which was great for me. They worked fast and hard, and made a special effort to get a very tall bookcase up the stairs without damaging the walls. I'd definitely use them again.
They were excellent. Showed up and got the job done very efficiently. Offered to stay longer and help us with extra work. I would highly recommend them for your job. They were excellent and professional. 5 stars!
Matt and Steven were awesome! They came early and worked quickly. They knew the best way to load the truck to get everything to storage in one load. They were fun to work with and saved us time and money in the long run. We couldn't have made this move without them. Highly recommend and we will use them again!
These guys were great! I say give them 10 stars. They were actually at the storage units before we were. they were efficient and friendly. Seemed to make light work of a very difficult move for us. I would gladly ask for them next time.
Hire a helper went out of their way to accommodate me when moving furniture into my house from a pod. I asked if they could fit me in earlier than my original appointment and they rescheduled so I had my furniture 3 days early. Their helpers were on time, worked efficiently and finished the job in the time contracted. I would hire them again.

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.
