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.

Marty and James helped my fiancé and I move out of our current apartment. They were quick and did a phenomal job moving and loading our POD. They also helped us pack some last minute items and were very friendly and professional. Extremely satisfied and can’t recommend them enough
Very happy Neil and Ron were assigned to my move. I was very skeptical the POD was large enough for all our items but they expertly packed it so it all fit. There's no way I could've done this on my own, half our stuff would still be on the driveway. They were very professional and efficient which I greatly appreciated. Definitely hire this outfit, it is money well spent.
Jordan and Jayden did a fantastic job moving our house. It was a difficult job climbing three steep flights of stairs in our row house. They moved everything safely and kept our walls scratch free. They were on time, responsible and worked with a positive attitude. I highly recommend them.
They worked together to get the work done never stopped. Very respectful of my property. They were on time and ready to work . I would have them again.
They were on time, careful, cuterous, friendly and didn't break anything. They were well prepared for the job and worked very hard and clean up and helped us set up bed frames, etc. Definitely would recommend Harrold and his team.
Excellent moving experience. Kind and courteous, they took great care while moving my things into a storage container. Overall took the expected period of time (4 hours for a 2 bedroom apartment).
Marty and James were awesome, early and had everything moved in under the time that I paid them for. Id definitely hire them again. Actually, im going to when I move again in a few months.
They both came in, did what we asked of them, were very polite and they got the job done for us. They were late but they did follow up with several texts and by phone to let us know they were running behind.
Best thing we did was to hire these guys to help move our daughters furniture from her apartment to her new house! Saved our backs for sure. They did an excellent job and were careful with her items and were super quick! They really made this move a breeze.
Larry and his team were absolutely wonderful! They took great care of our things and took the time to ask where we would like our boxes to go. Would 100% recommend them to anyone who is moving!
Great attitude and polite. The gentleman that unpacked my POD container showed up with a positive attitude and politely introduced themselves. Before they arrived, they had already worked moving other customers. That didn't sliw them down, they were ready to work and got the job done. I definitely recommend this service.
Universal Movers were very knowledgeable and efficient! They were on time and loaded our 16 ft pod in 2 hours. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future!

Why Book Your Ohio Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Ohio
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Ohio.
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 Ohio 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.
