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. 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 less expensive.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

The Cost of Moving in Portsmouth, VA
In Portsmouth labor-only moving help typically costs between $346.32 and $821.32.
If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $88.47 an hour.
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 you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.
Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
Portsmouth, VA | $341.50 | $794.36 |
Virginia | $338.87 | $794.36 |

The team were very professional nice clean nice to talk to and work the whole time. I would recommend them to anyone and I will definitely use them again. I was very satisfied and thank you.
They were careful, courteous, placed everything carefully where we asked and worked tirelessly till the job was done! I would highly recommend them!!!
They came in and did a wonderful job. They did it under the time, even though there was a lot of stuff. Very professional very intelligent great Tetris players. highly recommend.
We Move U LLC was great to work with. Communication was superb, and easy to coordinate with. We had a last-minute change of location, and they were able to accommodate us. Showed up timely and worked hard to get the job done. Would use them again.
Request for moving labor help was very very last minute. I was expecting 2 people and only 1 showed. He was amazing! Saved us a lot of pain! And….. the company refunded me for only 1 mover!
We hired Bust-A-Move to help with our recent move and they were wonderful! Very professional, took care to wrap and protect our furniture to pack in the pod, and were extremely friendly. I highly recommend Johnny and his staff for anyone looking for a credible and efficient mover.
Elvis and his crew worked hard, packed and filled the two containers in the time allotted. I would recommend this crew! I was just in a bad mood sorry Charlene Brittner
Johnny & Bryce did a fantastic job! In more than 30 years of Navy moves, we never had such detail-oriented, friendly, efficient help in packing out than we did with these two gentlemen. Highly recommended, would use them again any time.
I will definitely recommend this company and utilize for every move I will ever have. They were on time professional and were about their business. I hired them for a minimum of two hours but were actually done prior to the two hours. If you are on a budget, this is the way to go. Just rent a truck and hire this company.
I highly recommend these guys! They opened a very difficult container and moved everything into my apartment with army-style precision and speed. Their work was professional and impressively efficient. Job well done! Thank you again!
The guys knocked it out and did a great job. I moved with a pod and it was not right in front of the driveway. They worked quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them.
They were professional, timely, incredibly lighthearted and respectful, and consistently self driven. We have used hire a helper during many moves, but my husband and I keep talking about how they’ve been the best so far. If we were staying in the Hampton Roads area we would absolutely be hiring them again.
