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.

Ricky and Victor were amazing. On time, proactive, fast and effective workers. Very courteous too. Thanks so very much, I literally could not have asked for a better experience.
very good experience with s&l. the crew was on time, well prepared and extremely careful. i was especially impressed with the care and expertise with which our two pods were packed. items were loaded in a thoughtful manner such that the space was efficiently used and all items were secure from shifting. i would not hesitate to recommend this company. very professional.
They were on time and worked non stop until the job was completed. They asked where every item should be placed and even helped me carry boxes / tubs to out unattached garage when the move was complete.
Ricky and crew did a wonderful job! Fast, efficient and easy communication. I highly recommend this group! Stay out of there way because they will get the job done!
This crew was amazing. They handled everything up all 3 flights of stairs. Disassembled things when needed, were creative with tough items, and got the job done within the time window! Would highly recommend them for any move.
They were prompt all 4 gentlemen introduced themselves. Worked VERY hard, timely, professional & helpful . I would most definitely hire this same team again. Great Work!
Kind, careful, efficient - I couldn’t recommend Victor and his team more. They unloaded my 16 ft pod in under an hour at the end of a very long day and they were so friendly and positive the whole time. Moving is so stressful and I was really grateful to have such awesome guys helping us out.
They were on time and were. Very professional They took great care in protecting not only the furniture but slso all the walls. I will assistance once again and will be calling on them
These guys are amazing. Very skilled. Personable. And move quickly, efficiently, and effectively. From arrival to final drop off at the storage facility, the whole thing took 3 hours, most of which was travel! Super fast! Highly recommend.
Really wonderful to work with Trent and Kennith (please forgive any spelling errors). They were on-time, courteous, and great to work with. Very grateful for them.
Vincent and Ricky were great. Evidently Hire a Helper only notified Logan Lift 3 hours before the scheduled move In(was booked more than a week before). These two accepted the job when they were scheduled to be off. They communicated well. Showed up in time and worked their behinds off. Good team work and communication between the two of them. I could not have asked for more. Great move
Both Trent and David worked very hard and diligently to load the pod very efficiently. Thank you and I know it was a hot day, but they still worked very quickly.

Why Book Your Lockport Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Lockport
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Lockport.
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 Lockport 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.
