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

Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

|---|---|---|
| Edgewater, NJ | $442.75 | $1,145.95 |
| New Jersey | $450.92 | $1,188.29 |

| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $390.86 | 2 movers | 2.4 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, it’s considerably more affordable.

Super efficient and hardworking people. They were able to move all of our stuff with relative ease and tight stairs/corners were not a problem for them. Would definitely recommend their services!
Mr. John and Mr. Ken did a fantastic job, making effective use of the small space of the pod to store four rooms. We’re honestly a big relief. Highly recommend them.
Absolutely amazing. These men moved everything from our 2 pods into the moving truck. They stayed later than what I booked for originally because there was still more stuff to be moved. I highly recommend these men for all your moving and packing needs!
These three fellows were so efficient! I was overwhelmed with packing but they arrived, took over and within two hours had accomplished the task at hand efficiently, paying close attention to what was staying in the apartment and what was going in the POD. I will be reserving their services for the next phase in September. A job well done!! Thank you!
An amazing team lead by Nayquhon Outlaw, who performed ‘magic’ in packing our POD. I would have never believed that all our items could fit in a 16’ POD but he somehow made it happen. He is a true talent when it comes to managing a team and getting the job done with a smile. Thanks Nayquhon to you and your great team! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!
Hello Keith and Kent were extremely helpful in not only moving objects but helping to problem solve tight spaces and random issues that popped up. Everything came in managed with care to our possessions and new apartment. Excellent intro to New York City!
Very helpful. Able to carry heavy boxes. Moved quickly. Able to assist with placement of items into the POD for maximum use of space. Followed directions well. Able to stay a 4th hour. Able to completely pack the POD within 4 hours. Amazing well done job.
The 2 gentlemen (Jason and Myson) were wonderful to work with. They emptied a 16 foot pod without any trouble. They were very kind and helpful and never once complained that our boxes were too heavy (which some of them were!). They arrived at the scheduled time and finished early. I would highly recommend them.
The movers were extremely efficient, trustworthy and friendly. No hitches or complaints and by far the best rates. The first moving company was trying to charge me double but with a little research, I was able to find a superior company with half the rate. Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone.
They showed up right on time, and packed everything into the pod very quickly and efficiently. Nice guys, very professional, straight-forward and polite.
Amazing communication. Friendly diligent focused movers. Romario and George were phenomenal. Best move support I've had in years! 5 Stars!! Highly recommended.
They were nice guys and were careful with everything including some antique furniture. I would recommend them without hesitation. Even broom swept the floors.

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