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.

On time, worked the whole time. No complaints. Very thorough and thoughtful. Made sure I was satisfied with work performed. Made a stressful event easy on me!
Nathan and Dillon from Joanna's Movers did an outstanding job. They were actually a few minutes early and were able to get everything loaded in under 2 hours. They were very professional and new how best to load the container. I would certainly use them again.
EXCELLENT!!! Charles & his guys did an amazing job!!! Very efficient & careful not to scratch walls! Easy with furniture!! I highly recommend him & his crew!!
These guys were great. I recommend them to anybody that's moving. On time, polite, fast, and they were careful with our belongings. Great people, and I would use them again.
Kenneth was amazing! What a pleasure to sit back and not have to do anything. Super reasonable too! Will totally use them again and recommend them!
The guys were amazing! They arrived right on time and were so kind and friendly. Everything was moved quickly and carefully and they did a great job of packing everything into a tiny storage pod. I cannot day enough good things and will be recommending them to all my friends.
Workers were on time, worked rapidly and efficiently, did a great job loading the POD, and were polite and respectful. They did a wonderful job, and we will certainly use them next time!!
Shamaric and James arrived on time and after introductions and a few instructions, they immediately went to work. Throughout the unloading they both were polite and careful in handling our furniture and boxes. They completed the job well within the time allotted. I definitely would recommend this team to others needing help with furniture unloading.
On time, courteous, handled furnishings with care. Did a great job with loading to make sure everything fit in the truck. A lot more was able to get loaded than I originally thought. They had no problems when I asked them to load additional items . I would definitely use them again. Came prepared with two dollies. Never took a break.
The guys were on time, very polite, and quick to get to work. They even offered to help arrange furniture. Absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend.
These guys were awesome! I put in a request for help in the evening and when they got it the next morning, they came out despite pouring rain and unloaded for two hours getting completely soaked. They managed to find the things I was desperately in need of. I'll be sure to hire them when the rest of my things arrive!
Cannot say enough great things about this crew. From the time I booked the communication was great, they were on time and efficient. The crew was very careful with our items and very courteous and professional. They cleaned up after themselves and left all moving blankets folded on the truck. Well worth the money! They had a 20ft UHaul unloaded in 40 minutes!!

All Semmes 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.
