Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Petersburg, IL | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |

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.

Showed up early, the crew was very friendly, professional, fast and diligent. They were careful of our belongings and the walls. Would recommend them.
The guys were there right at 8:00am, they were friendly, helpful and worked hard in this heat! I’m so glad I hired them and would absolutely do it again! Thanks!
They were fantastic and we will use them again. Our movers were on time and prepared for job. They were respectful of our property and worked very hard. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Drew and JoJo did an amazing job. Professional and friendly and I would hire them again in a minute. Great company, on time and treated our furniture and items as if they were their own.
These guys were great!! Showed up on time & worked until the job was done! They really helped us out a lot!! Our u-haul boxes were smaller than we thought & we figure red there was no way all our stuff would fit. They worked really hard & managed to get everything in!! No way we could have done it on our own!
They were amazing, dedicated, excessively careful, very professional, & at all times considerate & thoughtful in handling my belongings! They performed a 3-D spatial Jenga juggling act to not only perfectly balance & tie down the load, but also make every last item fit in the POD (a huge gift)! I couldn't be happier, & I highly recommend my team to anyone moving, near or far.
Arrived on time, ready to work. Friendly group. They had a good leader who gave clear instructions. With them all working together, the job (moving old furniture into the garage, then unloading a truck full of furniture, then arranged in each room of our house) went very fast.Very respectful and friendly. Yes we'd use them again.
Freelance Movers were on time, courteous and careful. They unloaded the truck and set up the bigger heavy items I could not do myself and didn’t drop or break anything. When they left, the heavy stuff was set up and in place and all the boxes were in the correct rooms. Moving isn’t fun. But, Freelance Movers made it considerably less difficult and stressful.
Very good experience.The 2 guys were right on time. They were polite and a very good work ethic. They were extra careful not to damage anything. I highly recommend J&N Movers if all the team is like the guys I had. Thank you J&N Movers!!!!
My movers (Dave and his partner) were on time. They were nice wnd super efficient; they emptied my upack pod in 40 mins going up and down 3 flights of stairs. They were respectful of both me and my property. I will definately use them again.
We were very pleased with the services provided by ReloPro. The men were on time, very courteous and all items were handled with the proper care. I highly recomend this company for any of your relocation needs.
The two strong, young kids were very polite and professional. They notified us on their way over; did a walk through before they started the clock and took care with our property. They did a great job for us! I would recommend them.

All Petersburg 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 SmartProtectionā¢āan 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 moverās 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 haveāmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it.
