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. 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 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 more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Lomita, CA
In Lomita labor-only moving help typically costs between $294.64 and $653.60.
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 $83.58 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.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Lomita, CA | $386.97 | $1,020.08 |
| California | $458.12 | $1,152.13 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $386.97 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Lomita, CA, with an average hourly rate of $83.58. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

Fantastic from coordinating with crew team leader through execution. Adjusted date and time to show up, and offered to show up early as we were ready to load out ahead of scheduled time. Very professional and completed the job very quickly without any problems. Highly recommend!!!
The team arrived on time used all of the supplies available like blankets tiedowns, etc. They worked with me to get as much into the pod as possible. The team was very friendly and professional. Would recommend and use them again.
Jay’s Moving was beyond fantastic! They came ready to move our belongings in our new home from our pod. They were fast, efficient, and friendly. If we have to move again, I will definitely book with them. I can’t recommend them enough :) Thank you move team!!
They did a good job however it was very hard to communicate since they both only spoke Spanish. I wish I would’ve known that ahead of time. I never learned their names but I know the shorter one was the harder worker. The other guy stopped a lot and was a little rough with my belongings. Overall though considering the job at hand, it was done as well as it could be.
Joe and Franco were great! They fit everything in my one bedroom space into the pod. They were very communicative, efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend!!
The two young men who helped load my cubes were truly amazing! They were strong, efficient, and made all my items fit into the two cubes with some extra room. And they loaded everything in less than 2 hours—I recommend them highly!
Are there only five stars?!! I give ten!! These guys were amazing. I could only get a ten foot truck and they fit one bedroom’s worth of items into it, leaving very little for me to pack into my car!! A+. Ten stars. Two thumbs up. Whatever. I’ll definitely use them again and highly recommend them.
I had the lovely experience of having three great guys from Citywide Moving labor help load my box truck for a long distance move. Joe, Doug & Carlos were friendly & efficient. They got the job done in record time. I definitely recommend them and Citywide Moving!
We reached out at the last minute and the guys did a great job. Saved us so much time and they were extremely professional. 10/10 would recommend - thank you for all the help!
They showed up early, and did an amazing job loading our POD. We were very concerned about what would fit and they somehow magically fit everything but a couch we had let them know was optional. I'd say every single inch of space was used. Amazing job. They also finished within 2 hours which was great. Highly recommend using them for your moving needs.
The Crew arrived on time and introduced themselves. They were prepared for the job, and took the time to organize our items for the most efficient movement and placement in the storage container. We would definitely use their services again, and would recommend them to our friends.
Hire a Helper is aaamazing!! They were on-time and prepared. They took extra care to make sure my furniture was protected and they pack my PODS with precision!! They worked fast and were very perfessional. I will definitely use them again. Two thumbs up!!

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