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.

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |

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

| Louisiana | $443.94 | $1,160.56 |

Kvon and Christopher were fantastic. Kvon was communicative through every step—he confirmed, checked the job details and provided me with a live ETA on the day of my moving job. They were extremely efficient in loading everything and provided an excellent service. I would highly recommend using Pro Level Services. They really are PRO!
Excellent work and very courteous. Worked very quickly and efficiently. This is my second time hiring them to assist in moving. Definitely recommend them.
Colin and Randall were absolutely perfect! They arrived in time and ready to work. Both were extremely personable and courteous. They were fast and efficient. We just can’t say enough good things about them. We will definitely recommend them. Thank you so much!!
Dylan and the Movers and Helpers team were amazing. They were the bright spot in an otherwise challenging move and I would highly recommend them! Dylan was proactive in his communications, very customer service focused and a delight to work with. I can't thank them enough for their support!
Working with these guys was an absolute pleasure. They showed up on time and we're very careful with my stuff. Plus, despite record heat, they did the job without a complaint. I will definitely recommend Taylor Made Moving without reservation. Should I move again, I will definitely use them.
The two guys were super friendly and helpful. Even helped assemble my bed frame for me! My trailer was parked way at the back of the apartment complex and they used their SUVs to transport all of my furniture to my unit and carried it all the way to the top floor. Really satisfied with the service :)
Dennis and Nestor were on time, worked hard every minute, made smart decisions about how to use the space in the POD, and were careful with the furniture and boxes. I wish I could use them on the other end of the move - but it's too far away.
They were prompt and very polite young men. Worked 3 extra hours in very hot and humid weather. Never complained once. They really worked hard and I don't know what we would have done without them. Give them both a huge raise!
Fred’s Moving was on time, they were very professional. They packed my POD safely, efficiently and with skill. They did this work in a timely manner. I would recommend them for your move.
This company was a life saver for me! I had movers for the day cancel the day of my move out. Legacy was able to come unload my items, very last minute scheduling. Would definitely use them again.
The movers were courteous, efficient, hard working. They were early, they were prepared and not only that but they were humorous and fun. I would definitely use them again.
Great Job! Arrived on time and worked efficiently. The guys took our concerns into consideration and went above and beyond to make sure our personal belongings were safe and secure in the storage POD. Money well spent!

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