Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Shelton, CT

In Shelton labor-only moving help typically costs between $392.52 and $687.19. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $83.25 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

Easily the best moving crew I’ve ever worked with / hired. On time, prepared, had their own tools, they had a plan and executed that plan. They took apart any furniture that needed taking apart to fit outside, they were fast and efficient, they informed me of everything as they worked, and were kind and courteous. I will be hiring them again for sure.

Absolutely incredible work with my move. I have never hired movers before, however, after this experience, I would be encouraged to do so again. The team was professional and efficient on one of the hottest days of the year so far. Could not recommend them more.
