Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

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.

The Cost of Moving in Lakewood, NJ

In Lakewood labor-only moving help typically costs between $319.53 and $687.19. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $91.70 an hour.

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.

Highly recommend!!! If I could give a 10 Star review I would. They were that good!!! Cantrell and Jay were amazing! They knew exactly how to move and maneuver the furniture. They were careful with unwrapping and placing the furniture in the right spot. Pleasant and professional. And strong!! I was amazed. If you want a great experience with movers then you have to have them do the job.

I would give them 10 stars ! Hector and Anthony were awesome !!! They arrived early, and worked their asses off. They wrapped all the furniture carefully, placed everything so perfectly into the truck leaving no empty spaces and when I unpacked the truck nothing was damaged. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend these two professional movers.

These guys arrived on time, worked incredibly hard and were very respectful of our property. They managed to move furniture into places where we thought they would not fit without doing any damage to the furniture or to our house. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful. I would most definitely hire them again.

3 guys, led by Isaac. They were a little late from the prior job but that happens. They communicated about it and their ETA multiple times and apologized for the tardiness. Polite. Professional. Efficient. Went above and beyond and were done in no time. It’s a win-win for everyone. I’d recommend them to others.

Reliable moving and labor was just that. They were on time, (reliable). They were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were respectful of my home and belongings. They put everything where it belonged. Never complained of the intense heat they were working in. They didn't even break for water until they were done. I highly recommend Katrell and her crew.
