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 336,027 verified customer reviews
Very professional and polite. Efficient movers. Will definitely recommend. Only suggestion would be to have a furniture dolly or flat dolly for ease of furniture moving.
Arrived promptly and did an incredible job unloading a POD crate I’d shipped for a move. The two movers were efficient and polite—they were real lifesavers. I’d happily recommend Move Dat and use them again in the future.
We had 4 guys help us with our move from High Tech Movers and they were such a hard working and sweet group of men. We would hire them again for sure.
This was by far the best moving crew I have ever had! Donald and Jamal showed up a few minutes early and they were ready to work. They worked hard and without complaint for 8 hours, providing good suggestions about what to load and were very careful with our items. I would recommend them for any type of move - especially if you have high end items you want protected.
They were astounding! They were friendly, hard work in 100 degree temp and had it all done in the 2 hours, the even loaded my zero turn mower! Best of the best.
Brandon and Chris were professional and respectful. They moved at a good pace and made certain that all contents were packed and moved with care. Brandon in particular receives high praise from me.
They showed up half an hour early and worked wonders getting everything off the truck into a small storage shed. I’ll call them the next time I need stuff moved.
Communicated status the night before and morning of move. Recommend bringing two (2) dollies rather than just one. Used care and respect for the property being moved and packed into pods for temporary storage. Strategically packed to obtain optimum useage of spatial limitations. Will request the same movers to unpack and move. Overall they did an excellent job!
The movers called 40 min before and arrived on time. They came with all the tools needed and worked very hard. They were very respectful of the property being loaded and all of the property. I would definately use them again- very professional and courteous.
Adam and Steven were extremely helpful. They were careful with our furniture and with the walls in our new place. We would definitely call them again!
My two helpers were right on time. One of them even beat me there! They had all the necessary tools for helping to unload my Pod. They never stopped working, just kept on going in a timely manner. They took special care with all of my boxes and furniture. I enjoyed talking with them, they were very nice and respectful. I would definitely use them again. Thank You Pam Suggs
Fantastic. On time and very professional. Hard workers. Worked hard and were done ahead of schedule. Definitely respectful of property and goods. Would use them again and recommend highly. They were exceptionally nice and friendly too!!!

All Kentwood 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.
