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, it’s considerably more affordable.

They were late but still worked the two hours we payed for. They were very polite. Worked very hard and completed it to our satisfaction. I would recommend you invest in some moving harnesses for your workers. That would make their job easier and safer.

What an awesome job done. Not an open foot was left in the pod! Deon and Darnell packed all that could be and more. Friendly, polite and professional. Made it last minute of the arrival window but they did call plenty early and told me they would be there at end of window. Plenty in time for me not to freak out. I’ll be requesting him again

Norris and Jason were a great team to have to unload my truck into a new storage facility. They put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy the moving experience. I was nervous I would not fit my items into the unit, but the packing was so perfect there was room to spare. These two did it all with smiles and humor. I definitely recommend hiring this team!

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Fort Gratiot

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Fort Gratiot.

 

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.

All Fort Gratiot 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 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 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.
