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.

The unloaders were almost two hours late. They did call to keep me informed when they would be here. I was surprised how long it took to unload I thought that would go quicker than the loading. The loading only took two hours. I am happy to report nothing was broken or damaged.
Nate and Mike helped us unload our 26' truck and made quick work of it. We put in the request at 130am and they were here by 11am. Nate kept in contact with me several times to update his eta. Once he arrived it was straight to work got the job done. Nate and Mike had great attitudes. And did a great job. Would use these guys anytime.
Very hard-working and conscientious. Was called several times to confirm my appointment. The day of my appointment they were running a little late and they called me to inform me which turned out to be better for me because I wasn’t prepared anyway! I would definitely hire these men again to help me but I’m never moving again!!??!
They were hard working and very well organized. They were respectful of me and my belongings. I was amazed at how quickly they got the job accomplished. I would be glad to refer them to anyone in need of their services.
EJ and Sterling were great. They were a little late, through no fault of their own, but they made up for it in muscle, determination, thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and personality. I highly recommend them!
On a scale of 1-10 I’d give Master Elite Movers a 15! Arrived when they said they would, worked hard and efficiently and accomplished a great deal more than what I thought was possible in three hours. Also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them.
They were right on time, even though we booked last minute. They were friendly, polite and extremely efficient! We could not have asked for any better service!!
Levi, Aaron, Chase did a fantastic job they worked very quick and were very careful with my things. They were truly a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them! Thank you!
The movers did an amazing job! They were prompt, courteous, extremely careful with my things, respectful and worked quickly. I would definitely use them again!
Quick, efficient, courteous, and professional. They worked in the pouring rain and hauled my belongings up 3 flights of stairs. I can not say enough good things about the help I received. Highly recommend them and will call them again!
They were great! We needed them to move an old fridge to our garage and bring in our new fridge. They went above and beyond to make sure they didn’t accidentally damage the floors, walls or door. They reconnected the water lines and put the fridge door handles back on. They were friendly and returned my call quickly! WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN! Thank you!
They called me to let me know they were coming. They were right on time. Respectful and polite and to great care of all our things. Highly recommended... Gordon Grandi

All Fort Payne 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.
