Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move
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 movers to load or unload your stuff.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

John and Francis showed up on time and did a great job unloading our POD. They were very polite, made an effort to keep the floors clean, and carefully placed the furniture and boxes where they needed to go. They also assembled a bed and a desk for us. I recommend them enthusiastically.
This was a unique job as the shipment that the team unloaded was solid wood office furniture and was very heavy. The team did a great job and was very flexible to meet our schedule.
Outstanding... Exceeded my expectation. They were a great team and were able to see the big picture of the packing plan and my goals. They were considerate of understanding my needs and worked hard to make it happen. Absolute pleasure to have these fine people . I would recommend them highly. And they worked their butts off.
The 2 guys who showed up were great, they moved everything where I needed it to go. They were careful, courteous and careful with my furniture. I would hire them again any time!
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.
I booked them last minute and so glad I did. Kyle and Brandon were fantastic. Unloaded a 26ft truck in under 2 hours. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them
Had an incredible experience with them! The team was punctual, professional, and handled everything with care, no damage, just efficient, high-quality service. Highly recommend for a stress-free move!
This service was extremely helpful. I'm glad we hire a couple of extra hands. There was a mix up with their arrival time, but once there they got right to work and were very professional.
They were on time and they worked well. They got everything done as I expected. They also respected my home and items more than I expected. They asked me if there was any specific way I wanted the items loaded. The also confirmed through out loading to make sure I didn't change my mind on how I wanted items loaded. I would absolutely recommend them!
On time, organized and very conscientious. The team did a fantastic job of loading our moving truck efficiently and safely. No wasted space, nothing broken, no damage or scrapes to our items or the house. Very reasonably priced as well. Can’t recommend enough!
Phil & Greg did a wonderful job. Very professional. They went above and beyond from what we had expected. Easy to work with. Would highly recommend the to provide moving labor help. Doug Ithaca NY
The two gentlemen did an excellent job. They very helpful and courteous. We planned on four hours and made it in less than three. Can’t say enough about how great they did. Thank you so much for everything!

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t 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 clicks—even 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. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s 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 have—make 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 for 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.
