|---|---|---|
| Kalamazoo, MI | $476.65 | $1,203.11 |

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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 336,117 verified customer reviews
The two guys that helped me unpack a 26' truck arrived on time and were respectful. They were careful and did not waste any time. They even brought their own dollie. I told them that I would hire them again if the need arises. Overall good experience!
Bryce & His crew were highly professional! I have moved around the globe over 30 years for work and Bryce’s Team was one of the most prompt, courteous, attentive and careful moving teams I have utilized! Recommend unequivocally!
The two guys that showed up did a fantastic job and put everything exactly where I needed the stuff put. As a matter of fact they were so quick and efficient they kept asking is that all you have to do? Again, they did a great job and if I needed help again I would want these two gentleman to be there!
They showed up and got to work figuring out how to fit all my belongings in and ended up making room for stuff I thought I’d have to leave.. polite professional and knew their job!!! Great workers!!!
I didn’t think everything would fit, but they made it happen. Excellent packing skills, efficient work, and great attention to detail. Highly recommended.
My movers did a fantastic job, were super fast and friendly. Great customer service, and they were available with short notice over a holiday weekend! I will call them again.
I would definitely recommend A.B. Industries, LLC. The movers (Joe and Steve) were on-time, respectful, and hard-working. They packed my POD very efficiently and were complete under the estimated time frame. If I were to move from Kalamazoo again, I would definitely request their services.
They did an excellent job with packing our rented Penske truck. They did a great job using the furniture pads that we rented and nothing was damaged during transit. Only complaint is that they had trouble finding the location and we’re late since instructions that were given to their coordinator weren’t relayed to the helpers.
As an ex military and airline pilot i moved a lot. It’s always a total PITA, and this one was a tough one. Bryce and Ethan approached all the time here to getting the job done! I was impressed with their professional approach and “can-do” attitude. YMy thanks to them and anyone else that anything to do with this successful move. Jeff Polles LtCol USAF, Retired.
Superior Moving Services are the hardest working men on the planet. They unloaded our 26 ft. moving truck with exceptional care and in warped speed. These guys were very professional and very friendly. Although not necessary, they took extra time after the move to sweep out the moving truck for us. I’d give them more stars if I could.
Mike was great! Very helpful, efficient, kind, considerate, hard working and a great packer. He and his helper worked well together. They made the move easy for us by their great efforts. I would hire them again and recommend them any time
The two young men were right on time, had all the proper equipment, and worked non stop until the job was done. They knew exactly what to do, were very polite, and asked questions to make sure everything was loaded properly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

All Kalamazoo 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.
