Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Happy Valley, OR

In Happy Valley labor-only moving help typically costs between $344.24 and $687.19. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $90.23 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

They got a bit lost, but ended up not too far. Came prepared with tools, multiple dollies, furniture blankets, and shrinkwrap. Worked very quickly and efficiently. They quickly disassembled my digital grand piano for moving, and were careful to protect it from any damage. I booked three hours, but they got it done in two! Bonus points for a good attitude.

Responsive prior to job helped me know to get the appliance dolly and pads in advance. Called to let us know they were delayed. Went right to work. Took care with our possessions and loaded the heaviest things for us. I Wanted to extend, but they had other commitments . Would hire again.

The guys were great and DJ is a puzzle master at fitting the maximum possible in the pod. The crew worked tirelessly from the moment they arrived until they were done. They also went out of their way to expertly wrap the few items I hadn't. Great job!

Great job. DJ, Jay, Greg and Ashton did a very good job. They came in and did their job. There was a little bit of damage to a door frame and a few scratches on the wood floor but that is to be expected, I hate wood floors. Thank you, Ron

Ronnie and LA did an awesome job! I'm 63 and was exhausted from the week I had spent packing and loading, so I sat, pointed, and instructed --- they did all the rest. It really, really was "stress free"! If I have to move again (and, hopefully, I won't!), I will be giving them a call. Thanks guys!

They did a good job, were on time and helped with our items. We had the two individuals scheduled for 4 hours and they needed direction, otherwise they were anxious to leave after 2 hours. We redirected them to pack up the kitchen, but it felt like they had other plans and wanted to leave early.

The movers were on time as scheduled. The company reached out the day of the move to verify the time and address that we had scheduled. The unloaders were polite, professional, friendly and fast. Our property was treated with care and respect. I would definitely recommend this company.

The Five Star team arrived on time and worked non-stop for 4 hours emptying two large containers and assembling multiple pieces of furniture. They were very efficient and very respectful of my property and me. They were also delightful to work with. I would definitely hire them again and I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs experienced and capable moving professionals.
