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.

Christopher & JR came on time and were friendly & efficient. Had a few tight spaces to negotiate with an older home ans they took extra care with my solid wood furniture. The team to get things done-didnt mind paying for an extra bit of time for moving as it got me to empty/fully unloaded and saved my back. My appreciation for this team!
They were on time and very helpful. Two of the most polite persons to work with. Our stuff was moved quickly and efficiently into a third story apartment. We look forward to hiring them again on our next move.
Anthony and Jeremy were very efficient on time and very efficient with their moves and did everything professionally without any problem and exceeded being able to get everything that was needed in to the pod and it all fits so we are very pleased with their work and thank you very much
They were right on time, worked very quick and efficiently, Completing the truck Unloading in the 2 hour window! They were fun, personable guys who worked very Hard in very Hot, humid Conditions ! I would Use them Again!
Shawn and Pat were the most awesome loaders, I have ever had! I should know I have moved through 4 states in the past 5 yrs. They were polite, knowledgeable and very officiant! I would use them again and again..Can not go wrong with these guys UNSTOPPABLE MOVERS is the perfect name for them. Five Stars all the way.
We were amazed at the great job they did. They treated our property as they would have their own, worked very hard and miraculously loaded everything into the POD with room to spare. We are still talking about how impressed we were with them and the job they did. Hard to say enough good things about them!
The guys were very accommodating, friendly, and quick. They were early, they had all the necessary equipment, and worked well together. I can't think of one complaint. Most impressive.... neither could they. Thanks for making our move...smooth.
The entire crew was fantastic, they were not presented with an ideal situation but were extremely accommodating and helpful, quick and efficient. Great communication, more men than expected, even went the extra mile after dark when we were in a real crunch. Would absolutely recommend to any/ everyone needing moving assistance. We were very grateful for their help!
My helpers were from the company Smooth Moves. They were very nice and considerate. They worked extremely hard for the 2 hours that I had them for and moved whatever I could find for them. So happy I hired them....saved me so much work. :)
They were professional and knew what they were doing in moving a sofa, loveseat, recliner and how to take them apart and put them back together. We coordinated a time that worked for both of us, very prepared, utilized the time well. Very respectful. Yes, we would use them again!
The two guys came on time and we're very professional. We have them move a leather couch and they took extra care to make sure it was not damaged during the move. It was a very difficult move but they stayed with it until it was finished. I highly recommend them for any moving job.
The helpers were courteous and respectful. They were tasked with moving all of the heavy household items down three flights of steps on a very hot day, and performed the task quickly and safely without damaging any of the items. I would use them again without hesitation.

All Griswold 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.
