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.

A2B Worked hard and were able to accommodate a strange and heavy move of 400# pieces of wood. They were flexible regarding the job, very polite, and again hardworking. I certainly do recommend them and would work with them again.
Wonderful! They were very nice guys, hard workers, and extremely courteous when it came to moving my stuff. I can't say enough good things about them. I highly recommend them and if I have to move again in the future I wouldn't book with anyone else but On The Go Moving Services
Craig and Gideon were fantastic - pleasant, industrious, and they got the job done under very difficult circumstances and at the last minute. We thank them wholeheartedly!
Everyone arrived on time, and ready to work. And these gentlemen jusy did not stop until the job was done. All of my things arrived and were stored in good array, and I would not hesitate to employ them again when I need help getting my things moved.
Tony & Danny were wonderful! I apologize because there was another young man and I cant remember his name. I had a issue with PODS that day and these gentlemen helped in resolving the issue. These men were courteous, and careful (I HOPE) with my items. My only complaint was after the men arrived my cost went up. I felt at that point I couldnt do anything about it so I paid the increase
Thank you Swifty Movers! They showed up on time, did a terrific job, and got my furniture to its destination without incident. This is my second move with them and I highly recommend them!
Tymar and Joe were wonderful, timely, and efficient during my move! They also were very friendly and will make you feel at ease. Highly recommend and would hire them again!
One million percent recommend. They came early, worked hard, packed everything cleanly and labeled it all. They did a wonderful job packing our pod. We had dogs and little kids around, there was no cursing, everyone was polite and respectful.
Yes, Mike and Rick were on time, came prepared and worked hard. I was concerned we might not have enough room in our storage unit but they packed everything very well and were very organized. They also took special care with artwork and fragile items. Marshall was easy to deal with and was very understanding when we had to change our time due to travel issues. We would use them again!
The guys from Premier Movers were terrific! They arrived on time, worked hard, and handled and maneuvered difficult stairs, twists and turns, taking great care of my things. I would not hesitate to use them again. Patti Meltzer, Poughkeepsie, New York
The young men arrived on time, worked hard, and while they were friendly, they were also respectful and professional. If Antony and Thomas are representative of the staff, I would definitely use McBrothers Moving again. Great job, guys...I appreciate you and the awesome job you did. Have a Blessed Holiday. Signed, Pleased in Poughkeepsie
I had challenge with my pod delivery and they were able to adjust the time and helped put my mind at ease. Mel and Thomas were amazing. They work together well and we're very careful with my belongings. I was amazed at the game if tetris the played in loading the pod. I highly recommend and will be hiring them to unload once my new house is ready

All Shandaken 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.
