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.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

| Washington | $461.51 | $1,238.84 |

Prompt and professional! The movers at Come On I Wanna Move Ya were quick and courteous. They arrived early (at our request) and had no trouble unloading everything we requested in the time allotted. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing unloading help!
Mike and Pete were FANTASTIC! We had never used a moving company due to the fear of having our furniture or home damaged in the process. These two men dispelled that theory. Whenever we are in need of movers again, we will certainly call on them. Thank you isn't enough!
Prompt, courteous, respectful of my stuff and property. On arrival they had to unpack the POD I had loaded (poorly) and repack it securing the load, which I had failed to do. In doing this, they created a ton of extra room otherwise wasted. I would definitely use them again.
Armstrong was super conscientious, meticulous, efficient, and kind. I give them my highest recommendation. Mike communicated in advance, and even offered to lend us air mattresses while we waited for our moving pod with our furniture to arrive!
They kept me informed of their progress arriving here. They arrived on time completed the work well ahead of schedule and did a fantastic job. I would definitely give them an A+.
They did a fantastic job putting furniture to donate in the garage, furniture to move to a container and rearranging pieces for staging. I’d hire them again!
WOW. Great crew. Mike, Steve, and Larry were truly exceptional. They carefully unpacked a 16 ft container and placed items where we suggested. Wish I could have had them pack my container at the the departure site. If I move again, they will be my number one pick. Don't hesitate, call them.
Excellent 2 man team. Arrived on time, did a fast, professional evaluation of what needed to be moved, and got to work. Had the furniture and boxes loaded, strapped down, and said goodbye on time.
Great work. Very quick. Listens to directions regarding special handling of boxes. Communicates well. Gave a good heads up before arriving. Would use again.
Unbelievable and terrific group of workers. All of them were professional, personal and with high quality of workmanship. Our personal items were packed with quality and care. They were done quickly and safely. We highly recommended this group.
They were really good. This was my first time using movers and they were professional, quick, and on top of things. The 2 men that came by took minutes what used to take me hours. Didn't even bang the doorways. I'm going to be using them the next time I move, it would be an easy choice after my experience. Well worth what I paid. Thank you so much Angela & Team!
All Purpose Movers were amazing. They were truly flexible while we had some scheduling chaos with the pod. We appreciated their speed, efficiency, and overall professionalism. Would love to use their services again next time we move!

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 $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Montesano movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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.
