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.

We had a lot of issues with the PODS company in delays and lack of communication.....HOWEVER, Armstrong Moving and Labor were the epitome of Professionalism, Timeliness, and Communication. They turned a nightmare situation into an on time experience and far exceeded our expectations. Mike kept us updated along the way, and "The Crew" made sure our needs were first and foremost. I would hire them again 100/100 times! Thank You!
Very professional, hardworking & easy to communicate with. They helped me with a few other tasks not on the agenda, and I’m so grateful for their kind help, and willingness to go the extra mile to provide excellent customer service. I would ABSOLUTELY buy recommend them!! You will be very glad you did! Thanks again guys!!
Guys were on time, excited to work & very pleasant!! They finished the job well before the end of the 2 hour timeframe, based on their coordinated efforts & professionalism. Thank you! I really appreciated your kind help!
Jordan and his team are one of the most hardworking and considerate team of movers we ever had (and we've moved a lot). They planned the loading of the POD container very carefully to take advantage of every available inch of space, while making sure that everything was securely fastened. They managed to maneuver very heavy pieces of furniture down our u-shaped staicase, being super careful not to cause any damage to the walls. Highly recommended!
Mike Armstrong communicated well and he and crew arrived on time on the appointed day. They quickly got on board with the solution we had for a problem that had come up. They were clearly experienced and worked hard, giving suggestions along the way about how we could pack up other remaining items. They were careful with our possessions and have done a very good job packing the POD.
Excellent experience with Muscle Movers! Three strong guys showed up right on time and immediately got to work. They made quick work of my move while handling everything efficiently and with care. The entire team was professional, nice, and very polite from start to finish. They made what could have been a stressful day feel smooth and easy. I really appreciated their positive attitude and hard work. I would definitely recommend Muscle Movers to anyone looking for reliable, fast, and professional movers.
Talk about hard working young men with a professional, polite and ownership mentality. They treated our furnishing with the utmost care.
Highly recommend.
Very respectful group. On time got it done had time to setup a couple items arranged furniture. Would recommend this company to anyone what’s amazing service. I would use them in the future for sure.
Sam and zahid Did a great job. Very professional, clean and kind. We needed last minute help they showed up on time. My job was not a typical move they were very patient as we had a lot of different directions we needed to go in. In addition they had to hand carry items 100 plus feet to our garage. They really saved me in a pinch. Thank you. Dolores
Daniel and team were so friendly and careful unloading my stuff. Appreciate them so much! Their attention to detail and verifying where items were to be placed went above and beyond. Would highly recommend!
AAA Allstar Moving truly lived up to their name. We had some delays due to one team members health but the team that showed up was the most professional, and did an amazing job for us. I cannot say enough good about the Team, the Lead and Danielle as there was constant communication, they showed up, hustled and unloaded our trailer in record time, took care to make sure we had everything where we wanted it and were completely satisfied with their work. I give them far above Excellent in service.
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Gig Harbor. (They’re really nice!)
Bayshore general store on Highway 3 usually has plenty U-Haul trucks and trailers, and the general store is open 24 hours in case you need to drop off late.
If you’re driving over the Hood Canal bridge, it is a drawbridge, so leave with plenty of extra time in case it’s open to let a ship through. Be prepared to wait in an extremely long line and wait up to 30 mins in summer weather
We encourage our clients to try to avoid rush hour traffic as much as possible. The Seattle metropolitan area has some of the worse traffic in the nation and so please plan our your move according to avoid rush hour traffic whenever you are having to drive a truck as part of your move.

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 Gig Harbor 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.
