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.

236 Philo Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,859 verified customer reviews
The two guys who showed up got to work right away and unloaded my 16 foot truck in just over an hour, far faster than I had anticipated. They put all my boxes in the rooms they needed to go to so I can unpack faster. I really appreciated how careful they were with the furniture too. They were a few minutes late, but more than made up for it.
Smooth movers provided an excellent level of service. Tip: Smooth movers will be able to keep more of the money they earn if you hire them by contacting them directly instead of going through the "hireahelper" website.
Fantastic service. Chuck was on time, efficient, and humorous in all of the right way to remove the stress involved with moving across the country. They made sure that my property was protected at all times, and did a great job setting everything up for the move.
Devon and his crew communicated their arrival time in advance. They worked efficiently in a friendly, respectful, and professional manner. I would use them again.
These guys were great. They were on time, completely prepared for the job, and worked their butts off. It's always nice to hire a local business and this group had a great work ethic. They were extremely respectful of our property, and handled it with care. I would definitely use them again, and I'd strongly recommend them to others.
The guys actually showed up a few minutes early and and finished everything in the two hour window we had booked. Great service, will call them again!
Smooth move crew did a great job. They fit everrything in our house into a 16' pod for storage and were very careful and professional. I will definitely use them when we are ready to move to our new house!
Great team! They were quick and fit a shocking amount in a 10 foot uhaul. They even used their own materials to tie my furniture in. Would definitely recommend them!
It was a great experience. Very professional and hard working. Terrell was the lead or at least appeared to be. He kept the job on task. Great young man.
Our experience was very positive. The movers arrived on time and unloaded the truck without damaging any articles. The unloading did take a long time (5 hrs), but that was not due to any fault of the movers. We had many items that were to be reloaded on the truck for storage purposes, which slowed down the process. We would not hesitate to use this service again.
Doug and his crew are amazing. Their experience and knowledge really helped me sort my PODs. They are careful with all my belongings even when they are not labeled "fragile". Highly recommend!
We were really satisfied with the help we received with Starr Care. They worked hard, and were careful with how they loaded and unloaded the truck. I would recommend them for local moves for sure.

HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it.

All Philo 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
