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.

Showed up early but put no pressure on us to arrive at the site early. Simply gave us a courtesy call. They did a great job! Very professional and careful with our things.
They did a great job. Awesome attention to detail. It really felt like they cared about my stuff as much as I do and I care about my stuff a lot! Would absolutely hire them again. They were awesome!
The guys from Peninsula Moving Services did an excellent job. They showed up on time with the necessary tools. They were careful moving and packing my stuff into the PODS container. And they agreed to stay over because I underestimated time when I requested the bid. I would absolutely use them again and I highly recommend them.
Adriano and David arrived on time, worked hard at a steady pace and moved our belongings were we wanted them to be placed. They were very respectful and careful too! They unloaded our Pod faster than I anticipated. Before leaving they checked with us to ensure everything was completed.
Theo and his helper Joe were absolutely perfect, good manners, pleasant to be around, strong clean young men. 3 flights of narrow stairs and not a scratch on anything. A great service. I recommend them to even family members. Good deal price wise too. Quick, professional, nice people.
Andre and noah were very professional. they began working as soon as they understood what needed to be moved. they worked the complete time. very courteous. I would highly recommend them.
Theo and Schmila were awesome. We unloaded an entire PODS in two hours, including some seriously heavy petrified wood stumps, and had a great time doing it. Highly recommended. I was worried about this move but they made it easy!!!
Theo and Julian did an excellent job and I want to re-hire them to empty out our storage unit and our u-haul as we will be moving from Oregon at the end of October. They were on time, they worked hard and they were awesome! Thanks Theo and Julian! Nancy & Dr. John
arrived on time. Easy to work with. were very careful with my furniture. Very conscious of what went where and how to secure it. thanks a lot!!!!!
Workers showed up early and worked hard to pack the truck. They were efficient, though not the most experienced loaders as far as how to fully pack a truck and get everything in it.
Kevin and his partner (I forgot his name - so sorry) were on time and polite and hard working. We had to work quickly because of the rain and they were very smart about how to pack the Uhaul so the contents would not shift. I highly recommend them.
Pat and Andre were absolutely top drawer. They called before they came to confirm, arrived on time and worked hard and smart during a very hot day. Their packing knowledge was excellent as well. I did not have to direct but simply support as they loaded the POD from ceiling to floor. Hire these guys --- they are the best.

One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
