| Iowa, WI | $514.13 | $1,263.71 |

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.

I Highly recommend HireAHelper and Mad Dash Movers. The entire process was simple, timely, and well coordinated. Andy and Derek were polite and very efficient. Definitely would use again.
They were super quick, thorough, and friendly! They placed all of the furniture where I needed and even helped me fix a few things that had gotten roughed up in transit. I recommend this company to anyone!
AJ and Justin filled four Uboxes for us and it was packed carefully and efficiently! Would highly recommend this company:) We have numerouse odd shaped antiques and way too many boxes. Couldn't believe they got it to fit!
The folks they sent us were fast and efficient! They showed up on time and completed the job within the time frame we scheduled. They treated our belongings and home with care. We are so thankful for the hard work they did today! Thank you By Any Means!
The guys showed up on time and were very efficient and fast. They lifted heavy boxes like they were made of cotton. They also were really smart in maximizing the space utilization of the truck. The job was finished in two hours.
Super job by Wayne and Andrew! Kept us appraised of when they'd be arriving and finished the job before the 2 hours were up. Were able to efficiently pack our POD and got all our stuff in. (Hadn't thought it would be possible!) Highly recommend!
Zach and his partner were amazing, they were on time quick and fast. We moved on a rainy day and we called Zach about 7:30 in the morning due to concerns he was quick to respond and we decided to go ahead and move. We could not be happier and would certainly use them again if we ever move again. I highly recommend them, they genuinely care about our furniture and home goods.
Hands down the best movers I have ever used. Al is absolutely amazing and knows how to get everything done in a timely and careful manner. He runs his crew extremely well. If I could give them 50 stars I would.
Freight Angels were great. Our movers Jeff and Patrick were super professional, helpful, polite, and hard-working. They did an awesome job and handled all our stuff with the utmost care. We HIGHLY recommend them!!!
We had a few glitches with our move (not the fault of By Any Means) and they reworked their schedule and stayed an additional hour to get us moved. They were hard working and courteous. I would highly recommend them.
- overall great experience - flexible on timing when our pod was not delivered when we expected - super prepared, had supplies and checked with us in advance to make sure we had blankets - worked hard and fast but carefully - would definitely use again
Patrick and Jake were absolutely FANTASTIC. They were on time as per their phone call with the approximate time. They went right to work. Worked hard and diligently with complete care for our belongings to get everything packed in the POD we had ordered. If whomever we hire in Florida to unpack are half as good as these two were then they too will be excellent. Very HIGHLY recommended.

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 Iowa 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.
