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. 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 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 more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Harrison, IA

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.

| Iowa | $439.64 | $1,143.60 |

3 Cheers for MMSmooth, Inc! The movers were great. Realized after just a few items loaded into truck that I needed a larger truck. Stayed calm and found out that one was available. Exchanged trucks & the guys efficiently continued loading. After a 700 mile trip for relocation everything was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend them to anyone!! Judy F,Omaha,Ne
These two guys were absolutely wonderful!! They had a very positive attitude and worked hard for the entire time they were with us. They watched what they were doing and were careful about bumps and bruises on the walls and furniture. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat!
The guys were a few minutes late but texted way ahead of time to let us know. Both of our helpers were polite, professional, attentive, and super fast. We have a few really heavy pieces of furniture so I thought it would take a long time, but they were very quick. We would definitely recommend them and hire them again in the future.
They were outstanding, very professional, very careful and most personable. When we move into our new home in January we will be requesting the same guys. They were on time Very prepared Worked almost non-stop Treated everything with kid gloves
My movers were on time, friendly, and worked quickly. They packed everything into my moving truck tightly so furniture didn't slide around or get damaged.
They were on time and ready to go. They where prepared to move any thing . They had dollies and carts and blankets . Wish I would have known this As I had already purchased all of that. Very courteous and hard working . Evan hooked up my washer and dryer.
Movers were on time,helpful and polite. They worked very hard and did a great job. The POD was completely full. Glad the same company will finish our loading on Tuesday.
Dynasty Movers were very prompt to confirm my move details. The movers showed up a bit early, which was unexpected and were very fast and efficient. They even finished before the two hour window, which gave us some extra time to start settling in!
These movers were the best ones we have had. They were very careful with our stuff and got them all together in our cubes. They were on time, polite, and efficient. I would hire them again.
Top Flight Movers sent Eric and Carrington to help us with our move. They were on time, ready to work, and followed all the directions for what we asked them to do. They were equipped with tools to help disassemble furniture and straps to move some furniture that was unwieldy. We would recommend them, and intend to hire them again.
Smooth Moves flexed when I requested a date/ time change. Very responsive to my requests. The 2-man crew worked quick and efficient. The lead crewman did a great job directing and arranging furniture in a 16-foot moving truck and secured it. Job Well done Thank you.
We hired a 3 man crew to unload a 26' truck. Overall these guys were pretty good. We have some valuable antiques and some heavy pieces and they were careful with both. They were also polite and showed up right on time. Of the 3 guys 2 were wonderful but I guess perfection is a little unrealistic. I would use them again.

Why Book Your Harrison Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Harrison
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Harrison.
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 Harrison 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 for 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.
