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 youâd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Houston, TX | $373.99 | $1,013.92 |
| Texas | $426.62 | $1,095.00 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $373.99 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Houston, TX, with an average hourly rate of $73.79. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $310.56 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $337.05 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $393.37 | 2.03 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $357.10 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $415.98 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $515.52 | 3 movers | 3.2 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $669.29 | 3 movers | 4.1 hours |
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.

Cherry and her crew were wonderful to work with. They were able to get everything moved in a timely manner, also putting some of the furniture together that they brought from our storage. I highly recommend this company! I will be hiring them in the near future to help me make a very large move. Five stars all the way!!!
Shawn and Terrence were on time, and on point! They were super professional, and very kind throughout the process. You will not go wrong with hiring these guys - they were fast, but also extremely thorough. I'm already planning to hire them again for our next move!
They did such an amazing job! Cherrie is such an amazing coordinator and made sure everything I had I handled with the utmost care and efficiency. If you need movers I highly recommend them you will not be disappointed.
I recommend Big Win Moving. They arrived on time and were prepared for the job. They did an excellent job and were very professional. They were very careful with my furniture. I would definitely use them again!
The men arrived on time, and worked so hard while being careful with our belongings. They went above and beyond by taking apart a desk so it could be removed from a back room. After the job was complete, they stayed to help my husband connect the car hauler back on the moving truck. Respectful, friendly, hardworking - you will not regret hiring this company!
The team of 2 that showed up were great. They worked hard and completed the job faster than expected. The company wouldn't refund the additional hours I booked in advance when estimating what was needed despite the team going to another job when they finished mine, so I'd caution your booking hours, but the team itself was fantastic.
The two movers who helped me were absolutely outstanding! They were professional, efficient, and handled everything with great care. They worked quickly without cutting corners, and made the whole process stress-free. Both guys were polite, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. I couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience—highly recommend!
The two gentlemen who came to my home were here on time and did their job efficiently! I would certainly use your company again if I should move in the future, They worked very hard and I alPpreciate their kindness!
Larry and his crew were awesome. They showed up early and finished in the allotted time. They were very careful with all my furniture and were very efficient. They packed the truck with room to spare. They were both very polite and never once complained, they just worked hard. I’d definitely use them again.
Leroy and a young man showed up on time and worked hard on loading a truck. They were careful and very respectful or our property. Highly recommend!!!!
Outstanding Service! I highly recommend these guys! Very professional, courteous and efficient! They did a great job with our items. They were careful and handled all items with great care! They did an amazing job maximizing the space in the POD.
HireAHelper provided fantastic service. They worked very hard and did a great job. They were also very careful with our furniture. Many Thanks to them!!!

And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât 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 clicksâeven 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. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Houston 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.
