HireAHelperās Best Price Guarantee Find a lower price for the same move? Weāll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more. |
The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service
Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what youād pay for local full-service. 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Portland, IN | $377.54 | $915.30 |
| Indiana | $451.31 | $1,268.90 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $377.54 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Portland, IN, with an average hourly rate of $87.45. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $362.20 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $416.92 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $486.58 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $412.09 | 2.11 movers | 2.4 hours |

| 5 Bedroom House | $680.68 | 3.11 movers | 3.7 hours |
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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ā | ā |
| Unloading Help | ā | ā |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

108 Portland Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,402 verified customer reviews
Tom and his co worker, who helped us move were courteous, professional and extremely helpful with the move. They went above and beyond their responsibility with helping us move our furniture. I will recommend them to many of my friends and colleagues and will hire them again for my next move. Kamala Dontamsetti.
Brandon and his helper were fantastic. Arrived on time and got to work right away and made us feel comfortable. They were on point and very attentive to our belongings. I would recommend them to anyone. 5*++++
We hired two movers to help us move from our third floor apartment. They not only showed up early but also were able to load an entire 2 bedroom apartment in a little over an hour. They even went above and beyond to try to protect our furniture from injury during the move. Only wish they were a nationwide company so we could hire them next time we have to move.
The guys worked very fast and unloaded our entire box truck in about 40 minutes. My only complaint is that they knocked out a light trying to get my couch up the stairs. Overall I'm very happy with the service.
Both movers did an amazing job!! They got the truck unload and everything up to a second floor in an hour (2 bedroom apartment). Joshua and his co-worker are an amazing crew!! Super friendly!! Will be recommending to anyone moving! Thank you for all the hard work!! ??
Both guys were awesome! Arrived on time and very polite! They were good hard workers and finished earlier than expected. I would highly recommend them for any move! C Burchfield
They were good. Prompt and professional. They unloaded the uhaul very quickly and efficiently. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help unloading uhauls or moving heavy items.
Oddly this was my second move with thus crew. I forgot who they were when I booked them. They were pleased to see a repeat customer and were grateful for my business. They provided courteous service and respected my belongings.
Extremely helpful, productive and efficient. We’ve used them twice now, and previously recommended them to friends that have used them and also highly rated their experience.
Robert and Kevin were awesome! Very professional, fast, and efficient. Super kind. I will definitely call H & G when our house sells! Thank you so much!
On time and furniture is back up in my apartment. Very respectful and helpful. Thank you J and J moving services, may God bless all of y'all all the time, much appreciated.
They were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them. They were on time, they were extremely careful unloading. And they were especially helpful in pointing out damages done by the team that loaded the truck.

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