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.

They arrived early and helped me move in. Tasks included putting furniture together and moving them into the townhome. They were constantly hustling! And did a great job. I would definitely hire them again.
Lenny and the crew ware fantastic. We had a delay in closing on the house and they were flexible and accommodating. They worked their butts off and handled our stuff with care. 4 guys unloaded 2 PODS and a UHaul in 3 hours. Very strong and friendly guys. I'd recommend to anyone.
On-time, packed them truck perfectly, unloaded quickly, respected my belongings, and worked hard. We’d recommend them to anyone who wants moving labor help.
Joey and Munch were absolutely amazing! Super fast, super careful, super professional. Definitely will be calling them for future moves. Highly recommend!
In all the owner was very professional and courteous. One of his team/crew memebers appeared to be either very tired or didn't care at all. The other was a very hard worker and got the job done, along with the help of my husband. In all it ended up being a very fast move. Thanks!
Highly recommended - they came on time and hit the ground running with a no-nonsense, skillful approach... you will be impressed with how quickly and diligently they can move your stuff.
They were a life saver for us. The original movers we had Witmers the person got sick and could not do it and left us hanging. They were available, came and did a great job and dug me out of the hole I was in. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for doing a great job and for digging me out of the hole I was in. Rob Warren
They were prompt and courteous. They were very helpful bringing and setting up the furniture etc. in the exact spot we wanted it. They were very personable and expressed that they will help us move things wherever we wanted it. would definitely hire again.
Amazing team!! James, Brian, Justin did an amazing job. There was an issue with the Pod I had delivered and they adjusted beautifully and still got it packed. 10/10 would recommend. Excellent team. Will hire again.
We had Nick & James. These guys were STRONG. It was like watching a freaking magic show. Lifting chairs over decks into the back of trucks, one carried a washer like it was a small child and the other carried a mattress like it was a surf board, never saw anything like that in my entire life. 13/10 would recommend.
For the second time these guys were awesome. On time, professional, courteous and helpful in every way. I would utilize them again and highly recommend to everyone.
They were on time and did a good job to work hard and make sure the packing space was used up well so everything could fit. Unfortunately, with just two guys and a whole home to move, it took 6 hours instead of 3 which made the cost double. I also do know one item was broken while the guys moved it (although it was a very heavy item), and I’m just hoping nothing else was once we unpack and see.

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.
