Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Fort Wayne, IN | $402.94 | $1,268.90 |

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |

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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,378 verified customer reviews
Professional, very friendly, hard working and fast. I will be using them again for next move. These guys were a blast. Their online app was a real easy way to book anytime ??...and NO, I was not paid for my comments. I was so impressed with this business that I needed to leave a great review. Want it done right/fast, hire them before someone beats you them.
Christopher did a great job in getting our items moved quickly and into our storage PODS and well within the timeline we allocated. He did such a good job we are using their services for our final move in a couple months.
The movers were wonderful, the company worked with us and helped to reschedule multiple times due to our truck being delayed from weather after a cross-country move. The guys handled everything with care and were quick and efficient!!! We are beyond satisfied with their service and will recommend and reach out again for the future! Thank you so much!!!
Guy was easy to work with and very experienced at moving furniture up and down stairs. He worked my job with his son, and they were friendly and courteous. I recommend their services for moving!
These guys are really great. Very efficient and careful. I can't believe how much we moved in 2 hours. I am very particular and they even exceeded my expectation. If you decide to use these same guys, I know you won't be disappointed. D. Weber - Fort Wayne, IN
Jerry and Veronica were exceptional people, I liked them from the moment they arrived. They were professional and friendly and quickly felt like family. They worked from start to finish, and seemed to handle the hard items with ease. I would recommend them to my Grandmother, and will call on them again in the future.
We were so happy with Chris and Chris! We were amazed with how well they loaded our truck and how efficiently they stacked everything! They were hardworking and kind. They were quite a bit late (there was a major storm creating road blockages), which is fine. However, they never called us to let us know they would be late.
Great job! Polite and friendly, quick and careful. After unloading, they anticipated our needs and helped with assembly of furniture items and gathered packing material - everything you'd expect from good movers. I would definitely use them again. Thanks, guys!
The guys showed up and did everything we needed. They were careful, courteous, and quick. They loaded our trailer with the mindset that every foot was more money. They did have a few minor issues but will get better with time as they go. If you need someone to load you up, these guys can do it. Thanks Marquis and Terrence!
They were on time and worked very diligently to complete the task early. They were hard workers who were very respectful of the job and handled all containers with care. I would use them again and recommend them to additional people who are needing help.
Awesome job!!!!!!! Very polite! Took care of all my needs! They made sure everything was done as I liked! Would recommend and use again! Thank you!
These guys were absolutely amazing. They helped us so much with getting everything in to our apartment in a timely, safe manner. Will use them in the future!!

And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât 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 clicksâeven 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. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Fort Wayne 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.
