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.

Can't say enough good things about Christopher and Martise. I was in Korea the entire time (13 hour time difference lol) trying to get my stuff out of my old apartment and into a storage unit about a mile away, so everything was over text and phone calls at weird hours, and they were so patient with me. I think I called like ten times and asked a lot of favors, and Christopher / Martise never once made me feel like I was being a pain. It was just "no trouble at all" every single time.
Raheem and Tory were incredible movers who were really personable and kind despite a lot of logistical challenges to do with my apartment. They were super patient and helpful in assembling all of my furniture as well! Thank you very much
The PODS showed up after they arrived but they were still able to get things done in less than an hour saving us time and money! They were attentive, communicative and fast! Thanks!
The movers were fast and efficient. They communicated with me during the entire process from the time I booked services. They were flexible around my PODS drop off time. I would definitely hire them again.
Shabba and crew were friendly, professional, respectful of our stuff, and efficient. No complaints, would hire again, especially since they're cheaper than much of the competition.
Chris and his team were fantastic. They arrived early, moved everything quickly, and assembled my bed frame, box spring, and mattress for me. Highly recommend!
Picked up the job last minute due to a change in my schedule and arrived so quickly. They were fast and efficient and so kind!! Definitely would recommend hiring this team.
Very professional, joyful, took care in moving things, worked with us for trying to get a COI. Ease of communication with them. They really worked with us based on our needs. First time for us to move in New York City and they even helped us park the truck! Saw a different moving company up the street with only 1 mover and the boxes looked battered. We were thankful not to have gone with those movers.
We have to move again next year and we will definitely be going with them.
All I can say is “wow”!!! The two very helpful young men moved our stuff into a third floor walkup SO quickly and efficiently. Not to mention - it was a very last minute move. We were originally going to do it ourselves, but I opted for more help and was not disappointed in the slightest. Thank you so much!
The mover did a great job. I think his name was Michael. He made sure the truck was packed super well and it was the first time that I have ever moved that I didn't break anything. His partner didn't show up and he was able to make a call and one of his colleagues showed up promptly to help finish the job. Super thankful for his professionalism and attention to detail. Would recommend this service to anyone moving in NYC.
Jermaine and Azar were incredible!! They took careful attention to all my furniture and items. They were so friendly and thoughtful and the best movers I've had in NYC. I can't recommend them enough.
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Manhattan. (They’re really nice!)
Anyone that needs a PODS or a moving truck for loading/unloading it is recommended that you contact the city for NO PARKING signs for the moving dates. Usually they require 48 hours in advance.
If driving a commercial vehicle please avoid Parkways around NJ and watch for any low bridges or streets where there are restrictions.
Most places don't require permits but check with your local municipality for more information. Please check Google maps for pictures of what parking might be like.
The best place to get a U-Haul storage unit or to rent a truck in the Albany, NY is 2045 Central Ave. 12205. The people there are helpful, personable, and will go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need.

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 Manhattan 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.
For helpful tips, step-by-step guides, and checklists, go to our packing hub.
