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.

Jose and Fred showed up even a bit early ready to go. They had to muscle a bunch of heavy stuff up a flight of 21 steps on a warm day. They were fast, courteous, careful and worked hard. I would request them again.
Jose and Stephen came on time, worked extremely well and efficiently completed the job. They were very careful, put items where requested and were extremely polite. We whole heartedly recommend them. We would again engage them but a move is not in our future. We moved into a retirement community, our last home. Good luck Jose and Stephen.
Maverick Moving: Great attitude, arrived on time and ready to follow instructions. Worked hard and carefully and were pleasant the entire time. I would use them again. Linda M, Santa Barbara, CA
They were 45 minutes late but they worked hard and were very professional. They knew haw to pack the truck properly and paid attention to my fragile things. Nothing was broken. I would definitely hire them again.
I recommend them to several friends. They moved us out and in! Very friendly, easy to communicate with, on time and professional they even brought some small damage to our attention without us even noticing.
Bryce and Luis were great. They showed up on time and were very nice. They did a fabulous job of packing and were very careful with the furniture. They were able to get all of my stuff onto the truck and they made it easy for us to unload when we got to our final destination. I would highly recommend them.
Jorge and his team were amazing! Highly efficient, careful, and very friendly! They were easy to communicate with and showed up on schedule. They even assembled some of my furniture for me! Will definitely use them for my next move!
The two were the best workers. They both were very concerned that they were treating my property gent enough and the worked extrememy hard and did a great job,
Showed up on time and worked hard in a tricky elevator the fourth floor move. I really appreciated the effort the men made and their positive attitude.
They were on time and were ready for everything we needed moved. They knew the tricks to even move or heavier things. They were helpful and went the extra mile to make sure we got the help we needed. I highly recommend them.
The two hands arrived on time and ready to work. They worked efficiently and relentlessly to get my job done. They cheerfully did everything I asked of them. Although the storage units they were moving for me were heavy (275# each), nothing was damaged. I would use the folks at The Moving Experience again without hesitation.
Thank goodness for Bryce and Luis! Our move was stressful but these guys were super stars! Never cross, patient and worked hard the whole time. You can’t go wrong with Busy Birds!

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 Los Alamos 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.
