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.

They were early, which was awesome. They never stopped until it was complete. Very professional. I’m on the third floor with no elevator and I didn’t hear a single complaint. They were awesome!!
Larry and Dante did an excellent job loading our furniture into the truck .They treated our belongings with the utmost of care. I’d recommend these guys to any of my family or friends on need of moving labor help.
We highly recommend Mountain movers. They were on time, polite and respectful of us and our things. What they packed into a trailer was amazing, we really didn't think it would all fit, but they did it all and were wonderful. 100 stars!
I loved the workers from this company- they work fast and don’t even break a sweat... And I lived on the third floor even! They were funny an very professional- highly highly recommended!
Excellent crew of movers. Ataboy Movers are wonderful. They arrived on time, and were super efficient and so very helpful. They unloaded items from a moving cube for us and took great care with all of the items. We highly recommend their services.
We were located in the Erie, PA area. Fred and his crew were amazing! They were on time and got right to work. They had the bulk of our 16x80 mobile home cleared out in about two hours! They were very professional and friendly. Thank you for a great experience!
A scheduling snafu (not sure whose fault -- either the movers' or the scheduler's) resulted in their arriving at 6 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. Even after having worked a full day, they were tired but worked hard. Polite, kind and respectful, and they included an extra helper at no extra charge. I will use them again.
Corry and his crew were exceptional. They provided courteous, professional service and did it in a timely manner. They treated my personal things as if they were their own. I was amazed that they fit everything in our moving truck and had room to spare. Would definitely use them again!
No problems. They were very professional, arrived on time prepared, and didn't stop until the job was finished. I especially appreciated that, as I was asking them to pack my belongings into a truck for transport across several states, they took care to make sure that the furniture was packed in a way that would protect it during the move. I would definitely use them again.
They were great. They did everything I needed. Number one they committed to the job and showed up on time. They two men worked hard from the moment they started to the moment they left. They did not break anything and put everything where I needed it to go. I highly recommend Hire a Helper for a moving job!!
Extremely professional arrived on time great attitude. I would recommend them to family and friends. They also didn't waste time finish unpacking quickly. They made sure the floor was covered with blankets.
The people you sent worked very hard to unload the pod quickly and efficiently. I would recommend them for any moving job. They were very respectful and polite.

All Elmhurst 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.
