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 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Lake City, MN | $460.05 | $1,241.74 |
| Minnesota | $460.05 | $1,241.74 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $460.05 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Lake City, MN, with an average hourly rate of $93.34. 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 | $364.66 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $419.74 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $489.87 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |

| 5 Bedroom House | $708.59 | 3 movers | 3.8 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | â | â |
| Unloading Help | â | â |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
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.

Mike and Tyrone did a fantastic job! They had to wait for me to recover from a moving accident that I had on the way to Minnesota! They were so accommodating and just great people!!!
I spoke with Chester to arrange services, and the two gentlemen who showed up to do the work were very good to deal with and handled my items carefully as if they were their own. They unloaded my shipment quickly and did a good job of putting the items where I needed them. Would definitely recommend them again!
Guys were on time and very personable. Worked hard from start to finish. Could not have asked for better help. Even made the bedframe and placed mattress on it. Very heavy and large king bed. Did everything I needed in less than 2 hours. Would absolutely hire these guys again.
Hired Mighty Mike to both load a truck and then unload. Joe and Brendan were very helpful - showed up on time, inspected the load to plan the truck space, then got busy. Both were very courteous, conscientious about making sure the walls didn’t get scratched, and finished within the allotted time. I would hire them again.
Devon and his crew were outstanding. They were hardworking, intelligent workers who helped us immensely. Devon was a clear leader and leaveraged his experience to make our move a good experience for us and the crew. Thanks so much! Russ and Cathy
Dustin and his team were extremely professional, friendly and handled all of our belongings with care. We had so much stuff and they took it all in stride and never stopped working until everything was unloaded. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone who needs help moving!
They were fantastic. Great communication, worked hard and efficiently. Also asked if we needed anything else before leaving. We really appreciated their assistance today.
They were able to come earlier than expected and call to ask if that was okay. Once they got here they went right to work. They asked questions when needed and worked hard. They had to go around a couple corners and downstairs and all walls and decorations were untouched.
Rating is accurate and well-deserved. Professional, careful, took direction well, and we're amicable. Any movers in Rochester should start with this team - they're excellent, and that's coming from someone with years of working for a moving company.
Jordan and Matt were Fantastic! They arrived right on time and worked very hard the entire time! I would highly recommend them for any of your future moving chores! Extremely polite!
Everything was great! They were on time, brought extra packing materials, worked hard, kept me updated on the progress, and asked questions when they were unsure. I would definitely use them again!
It was a pleasure working with Devon and Mike. Considering the short notice, they responded promptly. They were very professional, friendly and completed their task in record time. I would definitely use them again.

You've got moving questions, weâve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Lake City.
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 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 Lake City 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.
