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 youâd 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Lexington, IL | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $408.32 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Lexington, IL, with an average hourly rate of $78.69. 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 | $322.16 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $370.83 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $432.78 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $403.38 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |

| 4 Bedroom House | $563.75 | 3 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $666.30 | 3 movers | 3.9 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, itâs 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 |

Very professional and hard workers! They took better care of my stuff than I do! They are proud of the job they do, and they should be. Very quick move, and absolutely nothing was broken door damaged. They are very nice guys to boot! Higly recommend
Chris and Josh provided an exceptionally professional service with helping us to move. They were punctual while being flexible with our timing needs. They were diligent throughout the time they were with us...no slacking on the job. They were also quite respectful of our property, and of my wife and kids. I'd definitely request their services again, and I'd recommend them to others!!!
Since I didn't have a real big moving truck the workers had to travel a couple times. I don't think they appreciated to have to stay longer. They were not able to finish.
They were professional and completed the job timely. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers. Judy Capra
They did a great job in packing & loading the POD. They were on time and very polite and respectful. They worked very hard and would use them again.
I hired this service on line to assist my son in Illinois with his move. I am speaking on his behalf. He informed me they were on time and prepared for the job. They were hard workers and professional. They were respectful and we will definitely use them again! Thank you!
They started on time. They were very courteous. They worked steadily. They were knowledgeable about the best way to pack and unpack. They went above and beyond what we asked. In addition to this they treated the furniture with great care. I have used moving labor help in two household moves and these guys are the best of them all. I would highly recommend them in the future.
My move took place on a bad day. On my car my tire blew out on the way to the move to pick up the truck. They were patient and waited for me and I was certainly grateful that they did. They finished up in record time and got me out of the situation with grace and dignity. These guys are the best!
Excellent experience. I will be using them again. The young men were very respectful and went right to work upon arriving. Their experience was very evident.
Arrived in agreed upon window. Were prepared for the job. Worked like rented mules while being as careful as possible with our goods. Would definitely use again if I had need.
They were amazing and so good at dismantling a bookshelf that would not have fit in the truck otherwise, and they put it back to gether just as easily when it took my husband and I hours to put it together in the first place!! They were friendly, polite and prompt.Woudl definitely recommend them and hire them again. April has a top knotch team.
Zack and Dalton were great! Arrived on time, and were very friendly and professional. Anything they weren’t sure about, they asked about instead of tossing it somewhere. Plus, the office called a couple of times ahead of the unloading day to make sure to confirm everything and get info ahead of time in case extra equipment was needed. I definitely recommend J & N!

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.

- 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 Lexington 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.
