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.

Doug anhis sons were excellent. Thoughtful of my items, and cleaning their feet, from any items from walking on a damp sidewalk. I was blown away for how caring they were of my items. I plan to use Doug and his sons this summer, for I have items in Marshfield Missouri. Their kindness will be forever grateful for how caring they were........Thanks!!!!!
Alpha arrived on time, they were courteous and friendly, and worked quickly and efficiently. All of our items were handled with care and placed carefully in each room. I would highly recommend Alpha Moving Assistance.
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.
Responsive, helpful and careful with our antique pieces. They asked about placement and helped me with the set up of our bed. They were respectful of our home and of us. They were focused and finished unloading with time to spare. Very nice young men. I would recommend the service.
The move went great thanks to their help! They were on time, and had everything needed to make the move go well. They were very efficient. They were friendly and positive. I was moving into a third floor apartment, so they definitely had their work cut out for them, but they got it all done quickly and efficiently. I would use them again in the future or recommend them to others.
They were amazing, dedicated, excessively careful, very professional, & at all times considerate & thoughtful in handling my belongings! They performed a 3-D spatial Jenga juggling act to not only perfectly balance & tie down the load, but also make every last item fit in the POD (a huge gift)! I couldn't be happier, & I highly recommend my team to anyone moving, near or far.
Showed up early, the crew was very friendly, professional, fast and diligent. They were careful of our belongings and the walls. Would recommend them.
The two strong, young kids were very polite and professional. They notified us on their way over; did a walk through before they started the clock and took care with our property. They did a great job for us! I would recommend them.
We were very pleased with the services provided by ReloPro. The men were on time, very courteous and all items were handled with the proper care. I highly recomend this company for any of your relocation needs.
On time, ready to work, very respectful of items to be moved as well as house surroundings. Fully prepared, worked hard and quickly went about the job. We hired for 2 hours….they finished in an hour! Outstanding help!!
Chucks Master Movers exceeded our expectations. Devon, JoJo, and Chuck were on time. Once they arrived, they started right in. They were very professional, worked hard, and careful with all our items, and they finished early. I would definitely hire them again....
The crew that came out was AMAZING! I highly recommend them. We had some laughs and they got the job done quickly. Very easy to work with and showed up right on time.

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 Harristown 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.
