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, itâs considerably more affordable.

92 Port Arthur Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,975 verified customer reviews
These guys came into our home ready to work and ready to tackle all tasks! I was very impressed with both of the young men that came to help us... I would highly recommend this service because of the great help we received, but with the ease of the payment system. Thank you! Happy customer!
First rate job. Once everything started going in, I thought I should of rented a larger truck. The team made it all work and everything made it without issue.
I hired 2 guys for 6 hours. They showed up with 3 guys, 15 minutes early and hit the ground running. Got my full 6 hours. They did charge me for the 3rd guy which I wasn't prepared for, but they had a lot of stuff to move and got it done. Only lost one wine glass (out of dozens) and I probably did that. Would use them again and recommend them!
Fantastic job! The gentlemen showed up on time and they were efficient. They packed everything very carefully and they made all of my belongings fit in my POD (I had a lot of stuff too). I would definitely use them again!
Guys did a great job. Hustled and got done a bit early. We appreciate the promptness and the hard work. Would definitely used this company again.
Elijah and Mohammad were wonderful! They were punctual and professional and very courteous. They took great care with the handling of our furniture and had a pleasant attitude. I highly recommend them.
The Top Tier Movers team arrived on time, quickly viewed the items to be moved into the container, and got to work. They worked efficently, and conpleted their job within the estimated time frame. I would use them again if I need help moving in this area again.
Excellent movers Leroy and Randy! Two of the best I've seen in a while and I move every 3 or 4 years. Astute, punctual, and take furniture apart like it is a puzzle.
Was a little late because of traffic but called and informed me of the issue. Overall, they were very professional and did an excellent job. We even had an issue with the dinner room table (missing parts etc.) but they took it apart and didn’t leave until it was leveled. Would definitely use them again if the need arises.
The two gentlemen that came and helped me did an amazing job. They were polite and quick and overcame obstacles that were placed before them. We had a smaller Uhaul truck than intended and they did a great job Tetris-ing everything into the truck! Highly recommend! Thank you so much for the help! I could not have done this move without you!
Showed up on time. Very professional and polite. I have a very small door and hallway with several turns and they didn't leave any marks on the wall or bang up my furniture. I also hired with less than 24 hours notice with no issues!
Amazing moving experience! Arrived on time, hard workers, and very professional demeanor while moving. They took truly good care of me. They had tools to dismantle furniture and moved everything with care and respect for my property. I will use them again if needed and not hesitate to refer to friends and family. Thanks again for a great moving day M G Transport!!

All Port Arthur 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.
