| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Modesto, CA | $458.12 | $1,152.13 |

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, itās considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,652 verified customer reviews
The two gentlemen that showed up were courteous and respectful. They worked hard and finished the job a couple hours earlier than I expected. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs a POD packed. Thank you! DW
Amazing guys. They went above and beyond. They knew what they were doing, efficent, respectful and kind. They took very good care of handling my belongings. I would definitely recommend, and they were very reasonable
I would recommend Five Star Moving in a heartbeat. Kevin and Noah are very personable, hardworking gentlemen, arrived on time and were very knowledgeable above packing & moving. I rented a POD; they packed it carefully and made it seem like a seamless process. I would definitely use them again. They were awesome!
I have moved over 20 times in the last 10yrs. These guys were by far some of the best helpers I have used. They were on time and finished up faster than any other people I have used. Friendly, polite and hard workers. I will be using them again when I move into my house soon. They took real good care of my property as well.
I really appreciate that they arrived on time and were extremely quick and respectful. They moved everything I needed them to move in a half hour and unloading things with the same speed. These guys mean business and waste no time! I for sure would hire them again!
OMG- Theses three guys were live savers. They did an outstanding job, took such pride in our belongings. Did an awesome job packing my storage shed!!! If need help, call them first you won't be disappointed. We will for sure use them again on our next move. Thank you Tim, and the two Tony's you all were a pleasure doing business with! Ron & Connie
Arrived as scheduled. Listened to our needs and staging of furniture in three different locations (POD, garage and back yard). Strong and safe...... handled tough pieces easily and no damage. Disassembled pieces as needed to safely move. Courteous and professional. Highly recommend. They will be back to reset our home after the remodeling. Bravo!!!!!!!
They were fantastic! They were quick and were able to pack way more items than we had thought would fit into the POD we rented. I would definitely use this company again!
These 2 men were on time, polite, professional, clearly experienced in how to neatly and effectively pack a 16 foot POD. They were self-directed, good humored and very positive about their work. They checked in with us periodically throughout the move to make sure we felt comfortable and happy. I would recommend them without reservation to any one needing a great moving team.
Antoine and George did a wonderful job and I have already recommended them to a friend moving soon. I would hire them again tomorrow because they are very careful, hard working, and work great as a team.
Lewis did a good job. I would NOT recommend Hire a Helper. I had 2 companies booked and now the second one is charging me, even though they showed up 4 hours after the window.
It was 105 degrees outside and these guys did nothing but work. They are fast and efficient, I highly recommend them for any moving job. In a month I will personally request them to move my brother in as well. Thank you for a job well done!
