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.

John and Alex from BingServ did a great job moving our belongings. They arrived on time, were friendly and very careful not to damage our items or home. The job took less time than the 2 hour minimum and they were more than willing to do more if I had anything else they could help with. I would definitely hire them again!
They did an amazing job, this was the best decision I made to hire Affordable Movers. If moving again will definitely hire them again and will of course recommend them as well to anyone moving. Takes so much stress off your hands during an already stressful time. Thank you so much
The TC crew was great. They allowed for a change in schedule and was always professional and courteous will all my interactions with them. They came prepared and worked hard until the job was done. I would happily use them again if the occasion arises.
I cannot say enough about Terrence Nd his crew! Awesome and professional, work hard, fast and safe! They go above and beyond to treat all your belongings with care! I would call them again anytime and will be referring them to everyone I know! You cannot go wrong with Team Moving Company!
Elijah and Greg helped us with our new furniture. I can't say enough good things about them. Wonderful young men, they went above and beyond. So glad I found your service online. I highly recommend this company. If we ever need help again we will definitely be calling, I will also recommend you to anyone who needs help. Thank you so much. Shari
They were on time, very friendly and courteous, and worked very very hard. Everything went smoothly and I was really pleased with their work. I would hire again!
Moving in Motion met an exceeded my expectations. They accomplished a remarkable amount of moving in just two hours, working very hard from the second they arrived. Also, they did an amazing job fitting the items into my storage container- they fit more than I could have imagined. I would absolutely hire them again.
Workers arrived when they said they would and were ready with all the necessary equipment. They were very careful with three oversized bookcases and had everything set up within the booked time. I'm very pleased and will definitely use them again should the need arise.
Wonder guys! On time, extremely pleasant and on task! Walked through to assess job and then executed quickly and carefully. Very thorough and smooth transition to our new location! Again, wonderful job guys! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! We moved 3 uhauls filled to the brim and Tariq and he's guys never stopped going! Busted all 3 our in 3hrs and not a single thing damaged. 100% would recommend to everyone! Thank you thank you gentlemen!
The two helpers were on time and went right to work. All furniture was moved and nothing was damaged. Both were quite pleasant. It was a small move - just two rooms going to an apartment down one flight of stairs. Prompt, ppleasant, efficient and careful - what more could you want? I would definitely recommend them and I would definitely use them again myself.
The guys came on time, in fact, a little early. They immediately started to work as soon as I told them what I wanted. They worked quickly and well. I will certainly use them again.

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.

All Shavertown 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.
