The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

|---|---|---|
| Decatur, TX | $426.96 | $1,102.01 |

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $426.96 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Decatur, TX, with an average hourly rate of $73.79. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

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.

Big Wool and Jake did a great job helping me move some items up and down a few flights of stairs. They showed up on time, were friendly, and knocked it out in about 75 minutes. Would recommend them for anyone needing help.
Richard and my other guy were fantastic. Worked their behinds off for two hours, very respectful and constantly moving. Weren’t on their phones and I am very happy with their work!
My address is two words, but was transcribed on the service order incorrectly so they were late. A good procedure for them should be to call the customer that they are on the way and confirm the address. The best thing was that the workers had experience loading a POD moving container, so they loaded the POD very efficiently, making the best use of the space.
The crew was amazing. They performed the job extremely well. They were on time and came prepared. They asked about what we needed done and then set about doing it quickly. Never had to tell them what to do. They all had great attitudes and were an absolute joy to be around. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Fantastic.
Great attitude, really cared about not damaging my walls and floor. Made an extra effort to make sure my beds and furniture were properly put together. I’d hire them again.
They were on time, very prepared, worked hard and very respectful of my things. I would use them again. I just want to say Thank You so much for helping me with my move, I am very happy that I chose this company!!????
The two gentlemen who unloaded our truck were professional, polite, very, very careful with all our items, and asked specifically where we wanted things and if we changed our mind, there was no issue with that. We were very impressed with the job that was done and would highly recommend!
Excellent team! There was an unavoidable delay getting started, but they made it right! They worked hard, were very respectful, and so efficient. I would highly recommend them.
Extremely professional and an outstanding job! I will definitely recommend them. They introduced themselves by name, but unfortunately, I can't recall it at the moment.
Exceptional effort and hard working. First rate customer service. Trevon was able to arrive earlier for the appointment. They were respectful and efficient unloading. Additionally, they were able to assist with installing bed frames and TV's. Highly recommended!
They were on time and worked steady.. Only thing they left out a couple things that I would have like to seen in the pods.. but we had to rent a Uhall trailer for overflow.. my fault I could have used another smaller pod..I cannot honestly say I would hire them again because the proof is when I see results when I unpack, how things did with their packing..
They went above and beyond. Not only did they help with moving what we needed to a POD, they also moved some furniture in the house to set up our parlor and set up a large table for us.

Why Book Your Decatur Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Decatur
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Decatur.
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 Decatur 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.
