|---|---|---|
| Hartford, MI | $351.67 | $1,203.11 |

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.

Great job done. Worked around the rain that occurred overnight and into the morning of the unload. John and his partner did a great job with our larger furniture and moving it up stairs and around tight spaces. They did no damage to any walls, carpets, or doors. Great job, highly recommend.
The best moving company I ever had. Victor and his crew was efficient and went right to work. I have spread the word about them already. I hope I do not have to move any time soon , but if I do I will Hire "John 3:16."
The guys did a good job. Called when they were going to be just a few minutes late. Worked efficiently to unload the truck and get everything into the house for unpacking.
I used this company 2 days in a row. They showed up on time ready to work. They worked fast through harsh weather conditions. They got the job done on time. They were the best group I ever used in the Mishawaka area.
Nick and his crew arrived on time and were very courteous. They worked until the job was finished without breaks, in a cold, wintry mix of weather. I would definitely recommend them and even hire them again myself.
You guys were awesome! Efficient, friendly and such hard workers! I am amazed at how much you got done in the two hours you were there. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend using these movers. They work hard every moment they are there. Communication was great before the move, and they were careful with everything.
The team was friendly and worked quickly to unload the truck withing the time that we had contracted. They were very helpful and flexible to moving things around and putting some things back into the truck that did not fit in the apartment. They handled our furniture and belongs with care. I would highly recommend them.
They did an awesome job. Truck was packed properly with furniture blankets and tie downs. Nothing shifted so no damage on the 5-hour long drive. Used them twice so far and will continue to use in the future.
Yeah. Awesome. I had to change the time to meet two times because my Uhaul order got switched around. Frank was quite accomodating. Good workers, drove the truck 600 miles and no scratches. Worked quickly too.
Called ahead to let me know exactly when they would arrive. Extremely polite, hard working. Carried my furniture carefully to the 3rd floor with a good attitude and a smile. I would definitely use them again.
They were a bit late because of car trouble (not their fault, and they were driving all the way from Chicago). But they came and worked hard, and I was happy with the job they did. I would definitely use them again.
Aaron and team were absolutely fantastic. They arrived on time, were ready to go, were very friendly, and did not stop until they finished. They were incredibly efficient and were able to fit all of our belongings in the truck when I thought we'd run out of room. You'd be crazy to hire anyone else if you live in SW Michigan.

All Hartford 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.
