The Cost of Labor-Only vs. 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.

|---|---|---|
| Iowa, WI | $514.13 | $1,263.71 |
| Wisconsin | $514.13 | $1,263.71 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

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, it's considerably more affordable.

came on time.. actually earlier as they had wanted to know if I was fine with that.. I did not have many things and most were packed so they finished it quite fast and efficiently.. they were receptive to my suggestions as well.. great job kids... thanks
AJ and his crew were on time, extremely professional, smart, hard working young men that treated us, our home and our furniture like it was there own. We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 hours we shared with them and will likely use freight angels for their other services as well! You should definitely hire these guys!
We had 3 guys for 3 hours. They were timely and called when they ran into traffic problems that they expected to delay them 15 min. They really hustled and loaded a full 16 foot pod and about 3/4 of another. The were always polite and also very respectful of out property. Would definitely work with this company again.
These guys are fantastic. Class acts and they treat your items as their own. Incredibly fast, courteous and hard working. I would recommend them to everyone!
Al and his team were AWESOME! They were on time, communicative, hard working and friendly! I was so impressed, and they got all my items wrapped and loaded on time! Their prices were definitely fair, and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend booking them for your needs!
The movers were prepared to work, fast, efficient, and careful with property that movers gave extra wrapping. Movers were respectful and good natured.
Definitely recommend. Our helpers (Damon and Jake) were fast, fast, fast. Really, they arrived within the planned window, worked continuously and efficiently, were concerned about not damaging my items (more so than even I would have been, honestly), and were clearly experienced in packing a moving truck. If you've got the $, treat yourself to some help and be amazed how quick things happen.
Zach was very professional about keeping us informed of time changes. He and his helper were right on time and got right to work loading the Pod. Would definitely hire again.
Thanks guys! We couldn't have done it without you. After a two day drive we were exhausted. It was a pleasure to have efficient, fast, and pleasant help unloading our truck! We appreciate having reliable help. I would definitely recommend hiring them!
Incredibly excellent and knowledgeable. Very fun to have around and will be using their services in the future. I've already recommended to a family moving soon!
Zach and his team were fantastic. They worked fast but were very careful moving everything in making sure not to scuff up any of the walls. My pods door was stuck initially and they even managed to get it open. We’re moving again in six months and I’ll definitely be requesting him again. A+++++++++ service.
Zach's team was skilled and focused. Zach came on the job himself to keep everyone motivated and organized and it was a huge help. Non-traditional job but they did great!

- 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.
