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.

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

| Pennsylvania | $439.61 | $1,058.99 |

Dave and "twin" were absolutely wonderful! They completed the job so fast while working in the rain! They had great personalities, were able to make me laugh even when so stressed, and very trustworthy and just such genuine people. Very hard workers! I would recommend them highly! Thank you guys for such a smooth day!
We were very pleased with the two gentlemen, Dave and Jay, that unloaded our 26' truck. Lots of energy and a strong sense of respect for the property and furniture! When we move the load again, we will call Dave! Great guys! Would recommend them to anyone! Arrived on time, cheerful and ready to work!
The guys were on time! They were professional and handled everything with care. I can not say enough how hard these guys worked. If I ever had to move again, I would definitely hire them again. And they were very kind to my 80 year old mother.
The 2 movers that showed up did a great job. However we had a problem on the scheduling side. I would suggest calling your contact person the day before to confirm the time. We also have been billed for time not used and I am hoping not to have a difficult time getting a refund.
I'm sorry I don't remember names, but both the guys work well together and I'm so happy for their help. I had a delightful moving experience with them. Thank you, Susie
Aubrey and William arrived early and got right to work. They were very friendly and took great care of my items with the challenging move down a tri-level stairwell from a second floor apartment. This is the second time I have used Labor Ready this year to move my belongings and both crews were awesome!
On time, 3 helpers showed up, never stopped working, decided where to put our items in our storage room to be more efficient, careful and respectful of our items and I would definitely use them again.
Very professional, arrived on time and were great to work with. Worked hard, did everything quickly and wanted to make sure it was all just the way we wanted. I would hire them again for sure, and I would recommend them to others. Very courteous and respectful. Great people.
arrived promptly at 3 pm and were finished unloading the pod by 345. We had already started unloading but basically wanted their help with washer, refrigerator and heavier boxes They worked hard and did not stop We had all the boxes marked so they knew exactly where to put them. They were pleasant, polite and very respectful of our property Definitely would use them again.
The guys were on time. Great group of hard working guys. Thanks for a great experience guys. They really know their stuff. I highly recommend this service.
The guys were very helpful, courteous and worked very hard to keep the overtime to a minimum. They were very professional and I would use them again and highly recommend them.
The men that were sent worked very hard and were worth every penny I spent for the service. They were very courteous and careful with my belongings. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Ferndale
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Ferndale.
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 $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Ferndale movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.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.
