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 Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

I would refer this company to everyone. They showed up on time and got job done in the allowed time we had been quoted. They were polite and moved everything into each room without damage. Can’t say enough good things about them.
To say that I was impressed with our movers would be an understatement. Our movers were rock stars!! They helped unload an entire 53 foot semi trailer in two hours! They were courteous, respectful and extremely hard working! I would highly recommend Move Bros LLC to anybody looking for help moving!!

The guys were on time after calling me with an arrival time. They were careful with our belongings and efficient. I would highly recommend them to help with your moving needs!
We had two helpers to assist us in unloading our moving truck. Both of them were on time, professional and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend and would use this service again. Labor Ready staff was prompt and courteous also.
They were about 35 minutes late because they got lost getting to my home, but other than that, they worked hard and were as careful as could be loading everything. They were very courteous and hardworking. These two were much better than professional movers.
On time and worked hard and efficiently. Did not stand around at all. Would highly recommend that the company provide them with company logo shirts.
Both of our movers were excellent. They worked well together and were able to get us packed and loaded in the allotted time. We've had a lot of help in the past and I rate these two movers as the best. Thank you,
Excellent experience with Move Bros LLC! Very friendly, efficient and respectful of my belongings and space. I highly recommend and will use again when needed.

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 $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Hawarden movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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.
