| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow City, AL | $499.65 | $1,307.42 |

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.

Absolutely wonderful, personally and professionally!! Exceptional job done as well as stellar customer service. This is the moving company you want to hire!!!
These two gentlemen were fantastic and did a great job for us, will request them again!
They were efficient, respectful of property as well as to the owners. Could not have asked for a better crew. And very pleasant and positive. Most appreciated.
Four very nice gentlemen did all you could ask!!!! They were on time and ready to work. They had all the equipment they needed. They were respectful and listened to where we wanted things. Great job!
The guys did a great job unloading the truck. We were forced to stop because of some inclement weather, but they got right back to work. They were courteous and friendly. They took great care of our possessions!
They pulled in right on time and started working. Very professional, introduced themselves, asked questions about what needed done and then got busy. They were professional POD packers! It was amazing to watch them work and see how they filled that pod from the back to the front. I was very pleased and would highly recommend them.
These two hard-working men were pleasant, courteous, on-time, and eager to please. When I asked them to move two items not in the request, they were happy to assist. I’d hire them again any time over what I’ve dealt with in the past. Major thanks for a super job — WELL DONE!!
They were the best movers I have ever used! Jeff and Carlton came from an hour away with 1 hour notice after another company did not show up. We thought it would take 4 hours for them to unload a 26’ truck that was completely full but they finished in 2 hours in the middle of the hottest afternoon ever. They did not stop or slow down for even a second ! Wonderful!!!
Great job the 2 men arrived right on time. They introduced themselves before starting the job. I was impressed with how quickly they unloaded my office furniture and set it up. A+ moving company and a decent price.
We used them twice and they were fantastic! They never stopped moving - I kept telling them to take a break and drink some water. They were very polite and respectful and extremely hard workers.
This group of highly professional movers was just what I needed during my out-of-state move when I wasn’t available to be there. They contact During every step and they were very accommodating and helpful! I would truly use them Again. I personally dealt with Ray and he was very professional and informational when it came to the move.
These guys were terrific! They hit the ground working like a finely tuned machine! Very, very happy I chose them to help us with the monumental job of packing our furniture, boxes and stuff! Great guys - would definitely use them again if needed. A+++++++++++++++

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.
