Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move
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 movers to load or unload your stuff.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

| West Virginia | $439.30 | $1,143.29 |

Very professional. Keith & Jacob worked very well together. Will definitely hire them again & recommend your company & them to our friends & business colleagues.
The crew did what matters. They arrived, unpacked the truck in a timely fashion, and took care of our stuff. They were friendly and accommodating as we asked for items to be carried to their correct parts of the house. When we were running close to our scheduled time, they worked quickly to meet the time. I would hire them again for sure!

Two young men showed up prepared to work. They were friendly and loved my dog. I can’t speak highly enough of them. I made the stop at 4 PM. I gave them both a good tip because I don’t think this company pays them enough. Will use these guys again
Very good crew they came early, started right away to work, did not stop for 3 hours .very efficient in the way they filled the pod’s, they maximized the space ,and had a plan to put as much as possible in it.what a difference with the previous crew.
C&L Movers did a great job. They were on time and worked hard. They were careful unloading my POD. I appreciated their friendly and professional. I would use them again.
Literally the best movers I've ever had. They were fast and super nice about the disaster of the apartment. They loaded everything up tight so we could add more boxes later and showed us how to deal with the ramp. Seriously, amazing dudes, would hire them again!
Tim and Nelson were great. On time. Worked virtually non stop. Professionals. Knew exactly how to cube out a 28ft trailer. Polite and very engaging. Highly recommend this outfit.
They were not only on time, they came a few mins early! They were prepared, worked hard, and had cheerful attitudes! They were very respectful of all our property and goods. Would def. use them again should the need arise!

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