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, itâs considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,402 verified customer reviews
They were amazing! I have never seen two guys better at tetris. They were super fast and very professional. I got two pods thinking that I would need another for my move but by the time they left, only one was needed and there was still room in it. I am very impressed and would recommend them to everyone looking to move. 10/10!
Daniel and his crew were very punctual and ready to begin work when they arrived. Explained what was needed to be loaded and left the rest to them. Furniture was padded and rapped, keeping it well protected. I used them to load two containers and each day same quality of service was given.
The team who helped with our move were great. They were on-time, very efficient, and did a great job packing our POD. They were respectful and pleasant to work with!
I was pleased with everything. Franco was very helpful when I had to change my date at the last minute! He was very patient and communicative. Angel was a nice hardworking young man. My realtor brought us lunch just as they were leaving so I hope they enjoyed it. Thanks to City Wide, Franco and Angel.
Darren and Doug showed up on time (even a bit early!), went right to work with a great helpful attitude and finished the job of unloading my POD in under an hour. They were very professional and careful with all of the items. Wouldn't hesitate to use this service again!
The guys were great! The communication from the company from start to finish. They did such a great job packing my POD. They were really efficient and I whighly recommend them!
Showed up on time, moved quickly and efficiently! All were very nice and respectful. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thanks for the great work guys!!
These two men and the company are top notch! They were on time and once here did everything in the quietest way I have ever heard movers do a job. I’m louder doing my dishes! They were knowledgeable and friendly. They handled my belongings with care. I would recommend them to anyone! Absolutely no complaints! Perfect moving day! Thank you!
The gentlemen from Excellent Movers definitely impressed everyone at the house who were helping me with the move. They were very fast, efficient and handled my items with care. I'm very glad I hired them and highly recommend them for anyone looking for helpers who are ambitious and respectful.
Conrad and his helper worked incredibly hard and stayed past the time booked to get the job done. On past moves I paid more than double for five helpers at a big-name full-service company and was disappointed in that service. This team worked harder and took better care of my items than the big company. Would strongly recommend them!!
Amazing job. Masters of tetris, they were able to fit in so many of our oddly shaped belongings in our ReloCube so perfectly. Amazing all around. Just incredible job!
Outstanding service! Daniel and his team worked tirelessly to load our POD and finished on time. They’re highly organized, so we have nearly half the space left in our 16-foot container for items in our off-site storage locker. Friendly, courteous, and reliable. Recommend highly and would use again.

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 clicksâeven 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. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Oak View 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
