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.

285 Johnstown Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,485 verified customer reviews
On time and very efficient. They handled all my stuff nicely not being rough . The guys were friendly. Job got done on time. I would use them again!
They sent 4 guys instead of the 3 we paid for. On time. Got our job done in less time than we paid. Waiting to see if they packed the truck well and our belongings arrived intact. Happy with the service so far. Well worth the $$.
Anointed movers unfortunately showed up 1.5 hours after the agreed upon time. But they safely moved a cast iron clawfoot tub into my SUV and safely to my home. They were prepared with straps to safely lift the tub. They were very respectful of my property.
The 3 B Helpers were great. Came on the date and time promised. All went smoothly. They loaded my rental truck in half the time I thought it might take. When we unloaded at the other end, everyone was impressed by the way it was packed in there. Everything arrived safely. A very professional job.
The appt was from 3-4 arrival and they arrived at 3:15. They never stopped working for 2 hours and got it all finished. I would absolutely recommend them!
E&A Moving was so cooperative with our move. They were able to come earlier than assigned to move us which helped us out a lot (they even asked first if this was ok!). They were neat and courteous and took care of our stuff. I will recommend this company if you just need labor and not a complete moving company!
My three guys were awesome! They had a lift a very heavy two bowl granite bathroom vanity for the first floor entryway to our upstairs bathroom. This was an extremely tough job and they did it without making a scratch! I would use them again as they were on time, very prepared for the job, they worked hard, they were very respectful of our home. I would definitely use them again.
From start to finish, this company and its employees are hard working professionals that know their stuff! The gentleman were polite, pleasant, and took great pride in the job that I hired them to do. I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars! Would definitely use this company again in the future.
The two workers were diligent in their job and worked hard. The only regret that I have is that I overestimated my load and they were only needed for one of the two hours that were charged me. Would definitely recommend them to others.
I had a team of 2 movers helping me unload a storage unit into a Uhaul truck. They were on time and completed the job very quickly while handling and securing my possessions with care. This was a fantastic experience and I'd highly recommend The 3 B Helpers!
We were very pleased with the two gentlemen, Dave and Jay, that unloaded our 26' truck. Lots of energy and a strong sense of respect for the property and furniture! When we move the load again, we will call Dave! Great guys! Would recommend them to anyone! Arrived on time, cheerful and ready to work!
I was very happy with 3B movers. They were on time, professional and expediant. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a quick and smooth moving experience!

All Johnstown 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.
