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.

Super heroes. Keshawn is the owner who is always on top of everything via phone. Hire A Helper is amazing. They make sure everything is a breeze. Big shootout to our movers, Ryder, Lawrence, and Art who are super fast and patient. They are the best in town. I would absolutely hire them again ??. They are also the most affordable so far.
I’d originally booked with the company and the day before they were supposed to come they declined the job which very much angered me. So I went with this company and I couldn’t be happier with them. The two gentleman that showed up were extremely professional very knowledgeable and they packed my moving pod with not even an inch to spare. They were so excellent. I highly recommend this company.
I hired them for a last minute move and they were awesome! They got to work right when I pulled up at my new place and they were very respectful and careful with my belongings. Very polite movers and they were quick and efficient. I will definitely be using them again for my next move.
I had to change the date and time and they were able to keep track of every change and I had my helpers right when I needed them. The gentlemen who came to assist were professional and hard working. They were kind with my little dogs and my belongings. The wonderful young men asked if there was any thing else I needed to have moved before they left. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
The movers came late in the day after a few jobs done earlier. Despite being tired, they were professional, prepared and respectful of us and our possessions. No hesitation using them again. Excellent job.
My two movers (Tony and Andre) were simply terrific. They arrived perfectly on time. They packed everything professionally. They moved heavy furniture upstairs and downstairs without complaint. Would I hire them again? Absolutely. Would I recommend them? Again, Absolutely. Thank you.
