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.

Myron and Jimmy were awesome, efficient, friendly, got the job done on time! Loaded the pod very professionally, I couldn’t believe how much fit!! I would highly recommend them!
They called before arrival with an ETA and then again when very close. Good communication. They were actually a bit early. Both were very nice and respectful of my property. I have no complaints. Thanks!
Myron and Junior were very professional and did a great job for me. Myron called a day ahead to discuss our plan and called the day of when he was on his was to give an ETA. They came prepared, worked very hard, and were respectful of our property. I would definitely use Rise Above Moving Company again.
The two gentlemen that helped me unload my moving truck were amazing. Hard-working, quick, professional, not a single complaint. I was highly impressed.
Myron and Junior were on time, worked quickly and got everything done in record time. Respectful of property and made sure they didn’t track dirt in on the new carpet. Very impressive and would recommend them.
These guys did a GREAT job. We were so pleased with them from beginning to end. They were courteous and professional. They took great care with our belongings as they loaded them into the truck and then unloaded at our house. I would not hesitate to ask them to help on another move. I highly recommend them.
The crew was timely, did a walk through to access the job, were professional, asked questions, explained how they were going to proceed, answered questions with a smile and were extremely careful with all our furniture and boxed items as well as our home and landscape. Lonnie was a great contact and we enjoyed all his crew as well! Hire them if you need a move, they will do it right! Rodney
Excellent crew. They were friendly and courteous. Very professional crew. They asked where we wanted each item and placed everything where we wanted it. They emptied 2x 16ft pods in under an hour. They put together the beds and made sure we were happy with everything before they left. We will definately use the guys from SMF Moving and Staging if we ever move again.
Amazing help! I would recommend these two young men to anyone I know who are moving. They were professional, friendly, and extremely careful with all my belongings.
Ryan and James helped us this morning! It was incredible work. We would be happy to work with them in a heart beat. Everything was well managed, cared for, and packed up appropriately/safely. They do amazing work!
Wayne and Ryan arrived on time. They went to work immediately. They know how to move boxes, furniture and appliances. They were very personable and I highly recommend their services. They completed the job well under the scheduled 2 hour window. Thank you

All Hickory 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.
