Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Fairfax City, VA

In Fairfax City labor-only moving help typically costs between $318.13 and $821.32. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $75.60 an hour.

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

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

I had a great experience with this firm. They connected me with a local provider who came when I needed them and did a very good job. The workers were pleasant and efficient. I could use the Hire a Helper (Simple Mover) website or the phone to reschedule, and it was handled seamlessly. They were extremely flexible. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience with DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning. The crew showed up right on time, came ready to go, and got straight to work. It was really nice to see a father-son team—there was a great dynamic between them, and you could tell they take pride in their work.
