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.

Both Guido and Jeff were on time and started immediately. They both worked very hard and accomplished all we asked of them. They finished ahead of schedule and asked if there were anything else they could help us with. We would definitely recommend them and thank them for their help.
The Bell boys movers were wonderful! Mine had been a very stressful move. Their knowledge and care made all the difference. I will use them again (when I move in July) and would recommend them 100%!
The supervisor was very knowledgeable and packed much more in to the truck than I expected. He tried to keep the younger workers motivated. Had 4 workers for 3 hrs and filled a 28ft truck. One nick in a doorway by younger workers while moving furniture. Overall I was quite satisfied.
Jeff and Dave were great! They quickly unloaded the truck, helped us put together a bed frame that we were struggling with and managed to somehow get an oversized couch into the unit. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for movers.
The team arrived a little late, but notified me as such and brought an extra mover. Beryl was fantastic and packed the truck very well. I'd definitely work with this company again.
on time. very nice brought all they needed. very timely we expected 6 hours. they got done in 3 hours AWESOME. We would defiantly hire then again.
Very polite, friendly , efficient and careful loading. Secured everything and even gave helpful hints on how to complete my loading when I was ready to ensure a safe delivery. Definitely would recommend for anyone that’s already a moving.
Thanks so much for a job very well done. We were very impressed with the speed and professionalism of your company. My stress absolutely melted away! I have already recommended Bell Boys Moving!
The 2 gentlemen from Bell Boys Moving North were very hard working and wasted no time getting us moved. They were very respectful of our belongings and furniture. I will be calling them again in the very near future. I would recommend this moving company to everyone. Thank you Bell Boys!!!!
These movers were some of the nicest, most polite, and hard working men I've met yet. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting reliable, prompt, conscientious workers. I felt like my brothers were loading my things, carefully and thoughtfully loading my possessions as if it were their own things. excellent experience and worth every penny. I would use them again. And again.
Great communication! Arrived ready to work, we’re fast efficient and managed t fat my whole house loaded into 27 ft rruck. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for help with their move!
The crew was wonderful. They were careful with our belongings and took their time to make sure things went where we wanted them to go. They were polite, friendly, and professional.

All Jay 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.
