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.

These movers worked hard!!! There were SO many stairs to climb at each place and they were steep! The guys were friendly and maintained a relaxed yet professional attitude through the entire process. We could not have made the move without their help. I would definitely use them again.
On time, If they need to bring a golly (recommend), mention it when you confirm time appt with them. Very personable, professional. Would use them again.
Dave and his crew were very helpful and tackled a lot in one day. We realized we had more stuff than we could move that day, so we hired them again on short notice to finish up. They were very accomodating and made room in their schedule to help us. They were courteous and Dave was communicative and flexible regarding the work time. They were careful with our stuff.
They arrived on time, were courteous and very hardworking. They wrapped items carefully and utilized the space in the trailer very efficiently! I would definitely use this crew again!
I LOVED my helpers!!!! They did a great job. I wish I had found these guys when I moved the last time. They were on time, professional, did an excellent job packing and securing my stuff. The true test is to see how it all ends up when I unpack it but I am not really worried about it. I would so recommend these guys.
They were on time and got the job done in a timely manner. They were perfectional. They used all the footage in the trailer to make everything fit. I would use them again.
The guys arrived on time and text us several times to let us know how close they were. When they arrived they went straight to work. All the guys were extremely friendly and professional. They were very mindful of our stuff,taking care of our stuff as if it were their own. We plan on using them again in the future anytime we move.
Used these guys before and once again outstanding customer service. The fact that they go over and beyond the call to make sure I was happy was a fantastic change in dealing with companies and helpers The main office for these guys the guy Jon is amazing. He made arrangements fast for pallets and a jack to be on hand for the next date. Where is more companies like this?

One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
