| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Salem, NY | $446.29 | $1,177.89 |

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 | |

Very happy to have found these guys. Would definitely hire again. Would definitely recommend. On time. Careful. Respectful. Helpful. Got the job done.
Had a great experience with Reliable Movers. Both gentlemen were prompt, courteous, and helpful. They took their time to assess what needed to be moved and the spaces the items were going to be moved, to ensure the most effective moving process. Will definitely utilize their services again. Thank you Parris, Lotus, and Carl!
Great company! Arrived on time, treated my furniture with care. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Company lives up to its name -RELIABLE!! Recommend highly.
I would definitely recommend Reliable Movers! I needed help with moving some heavy furniture, bins and boxes into a POD and two movers came and had the job done in less time than expected. They both worked hard and were respectful of my property, very reliable and even showed up in snowy weather conditions. Yes, I would definitely use them again!
Marshall and Harvey were absolutely amazing! I have already recommended them and this company to two people moving in the future. They were on time, kind, and super hard workers. We were thrilled with them!
The crew was friendly, polite and hard-working, exceeding our expectations. They contacted me on their way with an ETA and arrived on time. After a quick review of the rooms in our home(s) they got right to work. They were well prepared, and took great care of all our items. I highly recommended their services and will definitely use them again!
I couldn’t be more ecstatic with the exemplary service the two gentlemen provided. They were beyond courteous and pleasant. I would give more than 5 stars for James and the other gentleman if I could! They didn’t stop for the whole two hours we hired them for. Will definitely recommend to others!
Nigel & Harvey were fantastic & professional & made the heavy lifting look easy! Highly recommend them & it was super easy to schedule & payment/tip a breeze. Thanks!!!
These guys are the best! They knew exactly how to load a pod container and did it super fast and well done. The owner Thomas is great with communication Thank you for your help!
Hire a Helper finds you help via contractors in your area. The first crew they contracted for us canceled last minute and the contractor's company was not helpful in finding a solution. I called Hire a Helper directly and they found us a new contract crew short notice and they were AMAZING!!! Highly recommend this service!
The team was so kind, quick, and professional! They were able to expertly load the moving trailer for us, and saved us square footage that I couldn’t have possibly done on my own. Very grateful!
The guys were great…. Very kind, respectful , I could not ask for 2 better guys. I was a little concerned they didn’t use ratchet straps that I provided. They said it would be packed so full that nothing would move. I hope they’re right!

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