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 were excellent!!! They showed up. Did exactly what was needed quickly. I really appreciated the help from these movers. A no notice call for help that was answered quickly by professional movers. I recommend this company. They are respectful, polite, and very quick at moving you household!!!!
Amazing helpers. They were there 10 minutes early and did an amazing job!! Very respectful, courteous and hard working. I highly recommend this company!! I would definitely hire these guys again.
The two workers showed up on time, introduced themselves and were courteous and enthusiastic. They were completely prepared for the job and worked hard in extremely cold weather (9 degrees). They efficiently loaded my property and took care to pad items to minimize problems. I plan to use them again when I unload the POD in about 6 months.
Please type review here...My helpers were friendly and 5 minutes early. It rained when we were moving and they did everyting to keep our carpet cleans. If you are in Omaha please contact them for great service.
The guys were great! Very fast and friendly. I did have one box that must have been put upside down. I had a few broken glass items. I paid for 8 hours and they were done in less than 4.
They were professional and very careful with my property that was in the Pod. Considering that we had the hottest day here and broke weather records, they handled all my property as if it was their own. They took the time to make sure each and every article was put where I wanted it put, and did not do any damage to my home or property.
We had two people for two hours, and they were able to fully pack a 1,200 cubic foot Pod container. They were able to Tetris everything in there and get way more stuff than we would have been able to ourselves. Super professional, hard workers, would not hesitate to use again.
Josh and Joe came today to move us. They were fantastic! They worked hard, they were quick, and they took really good care of our possessions. Highly recommend these guys!
The men were on time and did a fantastic job!! They really knew how to load a trailer efficiently -- this was so unbelievably easy and stress-free. I will use HireAHelper again.
Christopher & JR came on time and were friendly & efficient. Had a few tight spaces to negotiate with an older home ans they took extra care with my solid wood furniture. The team to get things done-didnt mind paying for an extra bit of time for moving as it got me to empty/fully unloaded and saved my back. My appreciation for this team!
We had a last minute move and college move out. The team was helpful, flexible and very patient. They had to move very heavy furniture down three flights of stairs and up three flights of stairs to the parking spot. They were very efficient and did an amazing job from start to finish. Would highly recommend them.
Dynasty Movers was the most professional and respectful team! We are military, and move often. Have met none as skilled as this group. I would recommend them to anyone in the Omaha area!

All Shenandoah 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.
