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. 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 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 more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Fairfield, CT

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

| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Fairfield, CT | $395.44 | $775.81 |
| Connecticut | $356.08 | $714.51 |
| The United States | $356.65 | $821.07 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

Amazing, super efficient! Kind, patient with particularities, and friendly movers. Very knowledgeable on how to pack/protects items well and make things fit in the truck while taking care of furniture/belongings. 10/10 would recommend to everyone and will definitely book By Any Means for future moves. Thanks again! (:
I’m thoroughly impressed with the packing service I received! The team was professional ,and efficient, and took good care of my belongings .They wrapped each item carefully. I highly recommend packing service to anyone who needs a reliable and stress free packing solution.
David and Paul from A Plus Moving were amazing in every way. On time with heads up texts on ETA. Extremely helpful, professional and just great guys. Couldn’t be more grateful for their help with my move. I would recommend this company to anyone. -Jaime H.
These people came on time. They have worked very fast, helped in packing as well. Didn’t charged extra. Friendly staff.. I’ll use them again if needed.
Couteous,, professional and punctual. . They took the time and care to take the extra steps we needed to secure all our items, and worked efficiently. Thank you. I highly recommend.
Other then traffic delays, the team was on time and moved quickly to complete my move. They were polite and easy to work with. And despite a cross country move (Washington state to New York) nothing was broken. I would definitely use them again if needed.
What can I say about these guys! They are so good, I had to tip them! Would definitely use them again!. They were fast, efficient, and the way they tied down my heavy cargo was very professionally done!. These guys work really hard for their customers, and I wouldn’t use anybody else for my move. Choose these guys, you won’t regret it!
The crew that came were wonderful to work with. They even called the owner to come over and help them figure out how to remove a very big couch from my basement den and a huge wardrobe. Did not stop working for the entire time. Would definitely recommend.
Eric and Kevin did great under the sweltering heat. The loading of my pod wasn't very straightforward but they did their best to get it done. They were very punctual as well. My only recommendation for Promove in general would be to make it part of their system to call a week or a day before to confirm again with the client the date and time. Other than that, it was a good experience
Don’t play Tetris or Jenga against these guys! We were amazed how efficiently they used the space in our POD. We actually had to find some more things for them because we never thought it all would fit. A very polite and hardworking team that probably saved me from either back surgery or a coronary. Thank you!
Justin and Rick were great— they got everything I needed done within exactly the time I reserved and they even helped me with additional moving, and packing things plus the provided experienced suggestions and help with getting it done efficiently. Would definitely use them again!!
Yusuf and Ken arrived on time and never stopped working. They were polite and diligent. We were very pleased with the job they did and would not hesitate to recommend them to others

Why Book Your Fairfield Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Fairfield
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Fairfield.
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 $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Fairfield movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 for 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.
