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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 325,308 verified customer reviews
They were so efficient in packing! They saved me quite a bit of money in the footage on the trailer by having them pack it for me. I would highly recommend them for your move.
on time, professional, and were quick to load the moving truck even in the rain. They also came prepared with extra moving blankets and two flat dollies which made moving much easier than the carts we had at our building. Would recommend to anyone moving to hire these folks.
Best money I have ever spent. I mean it if you are moving and can afford it spending money on movers saved so much stressed and ache. Turned moving a house to just worrying about unpacking the boxes.
They were on time, friendly, and new what they were doing! They immediately set to work, and worked at top speed with no breaks; and met their alloted time. All this on a chilly, rainy day!
They were wonderful on two different days with two huge moves, a 26 foot and a 20 ft truck. They packed and unpacked the truck super well, and it was a complicated move with three buildings, the home, a garage and a workshop. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Aaron T.
They went above and beyond my expectations. Not only were they incredibly helpful with a willingness to put things together and set things up but also with the care they took to protect my hardwood floors. The value they provided was incredible. Highly recommend them and will call on them for any future moves.
Dan and his crew were nothing short of amazing. They were responsive and informative leading up to the move. On moving day they arrived on time and swiftly had our container loaded securing and better than I could have ever done. They are true Tertris champions and will certainly use them when it’s time to unload. Thank you again, 10/10 will certainly use again!
The helpers who we used worked hard and did a good job loading a 16 foot Pod in the three hours we had them. They did damage our washing machine while bringing it outside though. They only brought themselves, gloves and rope. They did not bring an appliance cart or any other equipment. They actually used some of the equipment and tools that I own.
One guy did most of the work since the other came almost an hour later but they got the job done in less than the two hours I paid for. They were respectful.
Wonderful service, professional and pleasant. They arrived ahead of schedule, worked extremely hard and were very respectful of the property and things being moved. If the need arises I would most certainly use them again.
Phil and Greg are so nice, friendly and pleasant to work with. They did such a wonderful job loading my container and carefully tied my bed to the piles of boxes to secure it even before I asked them to. They are your go-to guys in Ithaca! I highly recommend them.
Phil and Greg were great. Showed up on time and were very conscientious with my things and were very careful not to ding the walls. Did whatever I asked of them without complaint. I would highly recommend them.

All Johnson City 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.
