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, WA

In Lakewood labor-only moving help typically costs between $372.29 and $757.32. 

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 $87.59 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.

Hired to move a few heavy or bulky items down a flight of stairs into a rental truck then help us load boxes and smaller furniture until we hit the 2 hours. They not only took care of the hard stuff, but also loaded virtually everything for us while we stayed out of their way. Greatly exceeded our expectations and we would hire again!

Excellent 2 man team. Arrived on time, did a fast, professional evaluation of what needed to be moved, and got to work. Had the furniture and boxes loaded, strapped down, and said goodbye on time.

Mike and Pete were FANTASTIC! We had never used a moving company due to the fear of having our furniture or home damaged in the process. These two men dispelled that theory. Whenever we are in need of movers again, we will certainly call on them. Thank you isn't enough!
