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.

Facemovers was great - showed up on time, took care to put down pads and mats so not to scratch the door or walls and completed the job quickly. Would recommend and would use again
Vlad and his helper were fantastic. They showed up on time, were careful with all of our belongings and were amazing at getting all our belongings into the 16’ POD we had secured for our long distance interstate move. Oh, and they did it all quickly and efficiently! Can’t say enough good things about these guys. Definitely worth every penny.
Amazing job! They showed up on time, worked very hard, took great care of our belongings, and made sure to pack all items tightly in the trailer. I would 100% hire this team again!
Speedy Movers were great! They arrived and were ready for the job. Polite, friendly, and professional. They got everything unloaded without a hitch, they were careful with each box and item, and they asked where I wanted everything. I’d absolutely hire them again!

The team was on time, prepared, and listened to directions. They were courteous and careful with my furniture and contents.

Henry and Roger arrived on time and started right to work. They were very polite and listened to my instructions.

I would highly recommend this team and would not hesitate to hire them again.
Dave & Carlos are so efficient, courteous, and overall great guys to work with! I highly recommend them and will likely use their services in the future! Stellar job today!

Real Advice from Indio Movers
"Moving in the Coachella Valley/Palm Springs area during the Spring or Summer months can be especially challenging, due to the extremely high desert temps. During these months, an early start time to allow work to take place during the cooler hours is advisable and will contribute to making your move successful and efficient! "

All Indio 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.
