Are you on the brink of a big move, fearing the furniture fiasco that usually follows? Fear not, because FACEMOOVE is here to turn your moving woes into moving whoas! Seasoned Pros: Our team has more moving experience than your aunt has cat figurines (and trust us, that's a lot). We've disassembled and reassembled more furniture than you've changed your profile picture, and we can load and unload trucks and containers like it's a competitive sport (we might consider joining the Olympics). Vehicle Whisperers: Whether it's an ABF Truck, Pods, U-Haul, Penske, U-Pack, or a magical moving carpet (okay, not really, but wouldn't that be cool?), we've mastered the art of handling them all. No moving vehicle intimidates us, except maybe a hot air balloon. Gentle Giants: Your stuff is precious, and we treat it that way. We handle your belongings with such care that they might just think they're on a spa vacation, minus the cucumber eye masks (unless, of course, you specifically request those). Choose FACEMOOVE for your move, and you'll be choosing a moving experience that's almost as smooth as sliding on a hardwood floor in your socks (but hopefully without the collisions). Contact us today because we're the moving wizards you never knew you needed!

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee
Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more.
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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Laguna Beach, CA | $410.30 | $1,060.80 |
| California | $458.02 | $1,151.83 |
| The United States | $451.90 | $1,167.84 |
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $410.30 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Laguna Beach, CA, with an average hourly rate of $87.00. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $313.17 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $360.48 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $420.70 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $394.51 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $459.56 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $551.34 | 3 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $651.64 | 3 movers | 3.9 hours |
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.
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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
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.
Compare Costs for Additional Moving Options
Our Moving Cost Calculator can help you compare and estimate costs for local or long distance moves, across Labor Only, Full Service, and Moving Container moves. You can adjust the distance of your move and home size to compare prices and help plan your budget.
Once you've used the calculator to do your research, you can compare quotes from movers that are available and ready to help near you.

I hired three movers for two hours last minute to help unload our POD after a cross country move - we got an apartment on the third floor with the only access being a very narrow outdoor stairwell. I cannot recommend these guys enough. They arrived early and ready to work and knocked it out of the park. They safely and quickly got all of my belongings in the apartment and kept everything organized. They found ways to get my 8' sofa and king sized mattress up to the third floor when they were not able to get them through the stairwell. They had positive attitudes and were extremely focused. 10/10 highly recommend.

Real Advice from Laguna Beach Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Laguna Beach. (They’re really nice!)
Please note most of the buildings in California require to have general liability insurance to be presented by your moving company. It can take up to 2 business days to make the certificates, so please ask your manager if the building has that requirement to save your time on the move day.
Why Book Your Laguna Beach Move with HireAHelper?
- Best in-class $1,000 Service Guarantee

- Customer service 7 days a week
- Instant quoting & online booking
- Hundreds of thousands of moves & counting
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Laguna Beach
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Laguna Beach.
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 Laguna Beach 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.
