| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |

| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $370.83 | 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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Movers where on time, prepared to work, did the expected work without any complaining and were very respectful and courteous. I will use this service again to unload the POD the movers filled.
On time, FAST, in a great mood! Made the move in a lot easier considering the other movers packed some of our stuff so it would break. I would recommend these guys time and time again.
On time and know how to pack a pod! A huge thank you to Melancon Moving for re-packing my pod. Douglas called me the day before to find out what kind of job he was getting into. I gave him the details that he was re loading a sixteen foot pod that was loaded incorrectly. He was on time. He also discovered damage to my dresser made by the previous pod packing company. Good eyes.
The team that came out to do our home was a last minute switch. They were very professional, prompt and knew exactly how to pack the truck. We had very heavy and expensive items and they handles with care and ask questions on how we wanted things packed. Very awesome team.
Excellent experience. I will be using them again. The young men were very respectful and went right to work upon arriving. Their experience was very evident.
These guys were FANTASTIC ! They were on time, worked very hard, and did a great job loading the truck. Things arrived in great shape, after a 1330 mile ride in the truck ! I would definitely recommend them, and would use them again. THANKS guys.
They were amazing and so good at dismantling a bookshelf that would not have fit in the truck otherwise, and they put it back to gether just as easily when it took my husband and I hours to put it together in the first place!! They were friendly, polite and prompt.Woudl definitely recommend them and hire them again. April has a top knotch team.
Chris and his crew worked incredibly hard to move the contents of three storage units, a basement and a bedroom to our home in Normal. It took three trips in a 26' box truck from 12noon to 7 pm. It was an incredible amount of work but they kept moving until it was completed. We are so grateful we choose Illinois Valley Movers. They were careful, considerate and incredibly hard working. Len & Kathy
If you have a choice between Chuck and another service "go with Chuck". They were prompt and efficient, made the most of time and space, handled/loaded our furniture with great care. Thanks Chuck for your help. Sam Y.
Chris and Josh provided an exceptionally professional service with helping us to move. They were punctual while being flexible with our timing needs. They were diligent throughout the time they were with us...no slacking on the job. They were also quite respectful of our property, and of my wife and kids. I'd definitely request their services again, and I'd recommend them to others!!!
Contacted in advance to confirm reservation and notified once they were approximately 30 minutes away. After arriving early, they quickly unloaded the truck and adhered to our requests. I certainly recommend them and will use them for future moves!
Smooth movers provided an excellent level of service. Tip: Smooth movers will be able to keep more of the money they earn if you hire them by contacting them directly instead of going through the "hireahelper" website.

And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât 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 clicksâeven 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.

- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Fairbury 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.
