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

Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Lafayette, MO | $445.70 | $1,142.03 |
| Missouri | $445.70 | $1,142.03 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $445.70 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Lafayette, MO, with an average hourly rate of $82.00. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |

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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

| Unloading Help | â | â |

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,761 verified customer reviews
The 4 men who helped us move were friendly, courteous, hard-working, and careful with our household goods. They arrived on time and worked very hard to get the job done as quickly as possible. I would certainly recommend them to others and use them again ourselves.
This company is amazing, the guys were fifteen minutes early. They worked extremely hard to get our U-hauls unpacked in two hours. I would use them again, very professional. Their communication was excellent.
They arrived, we did a quick overview of what needed moved to where, and they got to work! Very efficient, packed my container extremely well, would use them again.
These men were great..came at short notice on a holiday weekend and worked very fast and efficiently. Real polite and considerate, handled everything plus old antique furniture with care. I highly recommend Weekend Warriors ??
My husband and I were so impressed with the speed, attention to detail and professionalism of Friends. They finished quickly and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. We have moved to South Carolina from the Kansas City area and will definitely recommend them to family and friends in Kansas City. Awesome job Miss Ashley and crew!
The crew was very conscientious and curteous in their work. They were punctual and worked steadily to maximize their time effectively. They were masterful in how they packed the Pod to maximize the amount of items loaded. I would recommend them to my friends without reservation and will contact them for any future moving services.
These folks did a fantastic job. Had the work completed in time and were very professional. Super team. Thanks!!! A+A+A+. Thank you for caring and doing a great job!!
These guys were helpful, but two hours late. They did communicate, but the delay added a lot of extra stress and juggling. The other concern was that they did not cover items so that much of my furniture was scratched from the vibration of the move. However, they worked hard!
Tyler and his team were great. He was communicative throughout the process, and couldn't do enough to help--even before arriving. They took to task quickly and got it done with no issues. They also took great care with my things.
They were great! Arrived early, got right to it and got the job done. Very professional and polite. Cared about making sure I was satisfied with everything.
They worked very hard loading and unloading the truck. Couldn't get these guys to take a break,it was very hot that day. Workers knew how to load the truck properly. We did not have any damage at all. Good Job!
The best company we’ve ever used!!!!! They were on time, sensitive to our furniture, and friendly. We need encouragement these days. They assured us they would take care of us. We will definitely use their service again and will tell others about them??

And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât 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 clicksâeven 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. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin 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 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.
