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.

WOW. Great crew. Mike, Steve, and Larry were truly exceptional. They carefully unpacked a 16 ft container and placed items where we suggested. Wish I could have had them pack my container at the the departure site. If I move again, they will be my number one pick. Don't hesitate, call them.
Angela’s team was amazing. We hired them to help pack our moving truck and they packed it so well we had so much room we could bring more with us on our move than expected.
Sam and Jay were super helpful and wonderful, they did a great job, were on time, and handled all my things with care. :) Would absolutely recommend them.
Mike & team were fantastic. They were very careful with our furniture and expertly handled some of our more difficult pieces. They were also very patient with us when we want to reposition items. Armstrong Moving & Labor will definitely be my first choice for any future moving needs!
All Purpose Movers were amazing. They were truly flexible while we had some scheduling chaos with the pod. We appreciated their speed, efficiency, and overall professionalism. Would love to use their services again next time we move!
The team was fast, careful, and friendly. This was a wonderful service and I would recommend this to anyone. This has taken so much stress out of our move.
Wonderful, professional. Our items were unloaded with care, particularly the fragile ones that either shifted during the journey or hadn't been stacked correctly. They worked very well together ensuring that every furniture "leg" was extricated from the pod undamaged. Great communication before the job as well. We would highly recommend Armstrong Moving & Labor.
They work really hard to fit all my stuff on my containers, moving everything pretty carefully. Really good protecting packages and my furniture also they know exactly how to disassemble what I need. I really recommend this guys!!!
They were on time, worked efficiently, were very respectful of our furniture and we are going to use them again in a few days to put the furniture back as we had our hardwood floors redone...very good experience for us!!
The crew was FANTASTIC! They were on time, super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and packed everything with care. They were able to get our job finished in time and had a very high quality start to finish. I would 100% recommend them! We also had a wonderful experience with the management at AAA - she was super helpful, responsive and really made the whole experience better. Thank you!
Excellent service! They handled our packages with care. They completed the job efficiently and packed our PODS unit efficiently as well. I would highly recommend them.
James and his crew were on time with positive energy and good attitudes. Throughout the day they worked hard, communicating well in a way that showed their care for my stuff. Their knowledge about packing the PODS was extremely helpful. They were a pleasure to work with and around and I would not hesitate to use them again!

All Shelton 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.
