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. 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 less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Kensington, MD

In Kensington labor-only moving help typically costs between $291.57 and $376.90. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $68.89 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

The two young men who moved and packed our container were ontime, friendly and very patient with us. They did an amazing job of packing our container and making sure everything was loaded correctly AND they finished the job within the allotted timeframe. They helped make a stressful day a little easier to deal with. I highly recommend John and his crew!

Loved my guys who unloaded my Pod Friday. They were very good at placing everything in each room where it belonged. They were very respectful as they worked. I enjoyed having them in my new home. They were very careful not to damage anything as they carried items n boxes into the condo. Great job! Thank you.
