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.

The morning of our move we had everything ready for the movers who were supposed to be there between 8-9 am. 8:45 arrived and we had heard nothing from the movers so we called and were informed K’Von Johnson that his team was actually double booked and that they would not be there to move our items at the originally scheduled time. When asked why he failed to inform this he could not provide a substantial answer and essentially said no. He said that he could have his team come at 6 pm to help move our items. So we called HireAHelper to discuss our options and they said that they would call and discuss with K’Von regarding on if they could actually make it at 6 pm. HireAHelper then called us back saying his crew would be there. Well 6 o’clock came and went and still no update on we could expect the crew to arrive. So we called K’Von again and he stated they were traveling back from New Orleans which was 2 hours away from me and they would be there at approximately 7 PM. So 7 o’clock came and went and it was 7:10 so again I called K’Von. This time he was frustrated and told me “that it’s been chaotic” and that he was”working with me by still having the crew come and move my stuff and not cancel.” I was frustrated with his response and overall tone as it was not my fault that his crew was double booked, he failed to communicate that to us as customers, and then was poor at communicating the ETA of his crew to arrive. His crew arrived at 7:33 pm and wrapped up the move at 9:28 pm.
Kavon and TJ did a fabulous job unloading our trailer and truck!!!
They did it in record time. If it were up to my son and I, we would still be unloading the trailer and truck into the 95 degree afternoon.
They were very respectful my property and me when I tried to help. I finally learned I helped them the best if I just stayed out of their way.
Thank you for the wonderful service that you provide. If I have to move again, I will contact you first to help me with that move.
Fred, the owner, was part of the 2 person team. I’m 63 and have moved over 15 times during my career. Fred and his brother in law, Dale, were the best. They were professional, timely arriving, safe, productive, fun, and engaging. Communication before and during the move was fantastic. Great value in the hire too. I can’t say enough and only hope that I can find others to hire them!!!
Gentleman did a professional and courtesy job. Stacked in a professional manner. They arrived in the delivery time and communicated well the day of service.
Bradley and Jordan made my move very easy. They came prepared to work and were very careful with furniture. They were experts at packing the truck and maneuvering furniture. I will definitely book with them again if needed in the future.
I am so sorry that i cannot remember both names of my movers, I think that Bradley was one of the names. I have to say that both guys arrived on time and were ready to start working upon arrival. They were extremely helpful and respectful to both my Mom and myself. This by far was my best and easiest moving experience in my lifetime. The guys handled all of my items with extreme caution and I would definitely utilize this service again. If you are fortunate enough to get this team, you will not be disappointed. Thanks guys for having such a wonderful work ethic!
They were very helpful when they came and brought all necessary equipment to keep my items strapped in and to disassemble. We went about 30 mins over and I was notified after the fact that we were over time. I would have liked to know beforehand. I didn’t realize that hireahelper will automatically pro-rate overtime based on the extra minutes used and charge your card via link sent as a text. Once labor was done, the movers called the helpdesk and I was charged for the full hour without knowing this could be pro-rated to accurately reflect time used. I feel taken advantage of to find this out after the fact. I can understand if it’s their individual policy, but that should’ve been discussed up-front and put in paperwork.
I asked in the instructions and paid for an extra hour for bed room assembly but this was not done and wasted money on a prepaid extra hour that wasn't used
The movers were about an hour and 45 minutes behind our scheduled time because of a previous move running over. Within about 20 minutes of arriving, one of the movers asked if I was single & then proceeded to call me “baby” and other pet names as well as ask my weekend plans & offering you come back the next day. Prior to completing the job he approached me asking for my number and called and texted me for days after the move. As a stranger I hired & paid for a service who knows my home address, I was uncomfortable. Most of my furniture arrived with minimal scuffs, however, one side of a mirrored dresser was cracked & shattered without my knowledge. The portion that was broken was pushed in a corner outside of my view until I moved the piece. I paid for four hours & only ended up using three.
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Lafayette.
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 Lafayette 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 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.
For helpful tips, step-by-step guides, and checklists, go to our packing hub.
