|---|---|---|
| Ray, MI | $476.65 | $1,203.11 |

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 | $347.81 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $400.35 | 2 movers | 2.4 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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Bryce and Ethan were wonderful. They were here on time and we’re very friendly. They had us walk through the house one more time to make sure they had unloaded boxes in the right rooms. I’d hire them again!
Communication was prompt and they arrived when I expected them. Both were eager to help with whatever I needed-beyond expectations! I really appreciated their help!
Mighty Mighty Movers were very professional, checking in beforehand to make sure we had correct supplies for the move and to confirm all details. They worked quickly and were careful with our belongings and the home. Would definitely hire again and have already recommended to family
The movers were wonderful, the company worked with us and helped to reschedule multiple times due to our truck being delayed from weather after a cross-country move. The guys handled everything with care and were quick and efficient!!! We are beyond satisfied with their service and will recommend and reach out again for the future! Thank you so much!!!
Chaz & Tony arrived on time, they were very helpful, positive attitudes, polite, and very hard workers. Enjoyed the experience with these two young men. Thank you very much
Aaron and James were on time and very courteous. Their efficient skill in loading the Pod is exceptional. They made sure to triple check that all my items and furniture were loaded.
Two Brothers did a great job for us! They showed up when they said they said they would, they worked fast and were very careful with our furniture and items, and wrapped it up right on time! I will be using them again in the future!
They were late but did notify me. Aside from that they worked very hard and did an excellent job in the sweltering heat! Polite and courteous, I would use them again!
Amazing team. They went above and beyond the call of duty. They were prepared and efficient. Very fast and organized. I will definitely use them again.
These guys were great. They showed up early and went right to work. They had a great additude and I could tell they enjoyed their work. Nothing was damaged they took great care with my furniture. I would definatly hire them again. They had to haul extremely heavy bulky furniture up 3 flight of stairs that wound back and forth. I was amazed at the amount of weight they were capable of lifting.
What a wonderful professional team they were amazing and after four different hire a help groups. We wish we had had these four from start to finish. They were quick, professional, kind, all-around amazing highly encourage everyone to use the service.
Area Realty Movers did an outstanding job. The crew stayed energized and focused through the full four hours, and even went above and beyond by staying an extra hour to help us wrap things up. They worked hard, communicated well, and handled everything with care. Solid team—would definitely recommend.

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 canât 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 clicksâeven 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. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Ray 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.
