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.

These guys are incredible!! I was convinced I had gotten too small of a moving container for all of my boxes and furniture but, in no time at all, they'd packed it perfectly so there was space to spare! Plus, both of the movers I were incredibly sweet, friendly, and plain fun to be around. I especially appreciated how they were really conscious of the historic property I was living in as well, adjusting their moving strategy to account for the historic hardwood flooring. They are genuinely phenomenal!
The guys were on time and prepared. They were also very accomadating once they arrived and worked hard to make sure all items fit in the pod.I would use them again.
Wyat and Dominico are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! They were quick, efficient, professional, understanding, hardworking, and are very pleasant to work with! I will definitely ask for them in the future!!! I strongly recommend Wyat and Dominico!! Thanks guys!!

The movers were so helpful and quick. They professionally moved everything from the truck to the 2nd floor apartment. It was moving day and the elevator was in use. They didn't have a problem using the stairs. I will always use movers. As leave it to professionals. With their experience. They know the angles and how to position everything just right. Thank you
I was very appreciative of their assistance particularly with the heavier stuff. They were pleasant and respectful and Eric was genuinely disappointed when we went over on time but it couldn’t be avoided. Thanks again!
They were friendly, conscientious, and took pride in the way they loaded my items safely in the truck. I would hire them again and would recommend them to others.
In spite of running into a few unexpected issues, Eric and Brian went above and beyond to provide a positive outcome. The workers handled the difficult 3rd floor move with grace. We would use them again.
Lester and Cody were great! So efficient and careful with everything. They were super considerate and communicative with all moving needs as well. Would definitely hire them again for any move I needed.
Lester and Samantha, showed up on time to help us unload and did a wonderful job. They were professional, hard working and went above and beyond of what is asked. I would highly reccomend them to anyone. I will be using them again for any other move.
Everything was great friendly polite worked hard and took care of our property. Would recommend and call again. Our daughter had used them and also was very pleased.
Best moving experience ever! The movers were on time, extremely efficient, and all around professional. They packed the truck extremely well for my out of state move, taking the time to make sure everything was packed correctly. And all done within my allotted two hours! I highly recommend H&G movers to anyone within the Bloomington area that wants an economical and friction free moving experience!!
Careful, polite and punctual. Protected fragile items and took them up a narrow 4 story stairway without a nick. Much better than every "professional mover" I have hired in the past.
Thank you, guys. You were tops!
We were so impressed with our movers, Gabriel and Marvell! They were on time (actually, early), super efficient, and could not have been more careful with our large furniture. As far as we could tell, they didn't even graze a wall or other surface while moving it out of the house. They packed the truck up tightly and securely, and were overall very pleasant to work with. Big thanks!
I highly recommend Elite Moving. They worked very quicky and packed everything in the truck efficiently. The the men were courteous and respectful towards me and my belongings. I would not hesitate to call them for moving services in the future.
Incredibly helpful!! On time, and got the job done in two hours. Fast hands that care about your stuff and want to make it easier on you. Thank you so much Kent and Kent’s dad!!!
The movers arrived on time, they worked quickly and efficiently. Booking and paying was a breeze! Everyone was friendly and courteous. They even added an extra mover free of charge and assembled our new couch and chair set! They made what is often a hectic day a pleasant day for us. Thanks again Elite moving. We will definitely recommend you to all of our family and friends! We will use your company again if we need any moving labor help in the future!

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Ellettsville.
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 Ellettsville 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.
For helpful tips, step-by-step guides, and checklists, go to our packing hub.
