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, it's considerably more affordable.

Best moving labor help we've ever had! They were right on time and immediately got to work dissembling furniture we had not yet gotten to and transferring it right into the storage containers. They were extremely careful and also very knowledgeable on how to best organize the furniture in the containers to prevent any possible damage. We highly recommend Danny, he is truly a professional mover!!
they were very good workers and took care not to damage anything. They could have stacked some furniture in the truck to save me some space but overall i would use them again and will not would recomend them to anyone I know who needs that kind of help. they were on time and looked proffesional with uniforms. I think they even worked longer than was contracted without charging any extra,
Excellent! A++ on all of the following: communication, punctuality, professionalism, and cooperation. We already plan to use again to finalize our move!
They did a great job. Were very understanding of the traffic, on our way to the drop off destination. The two guys couldnt be any nicer and worked very efficiently. I would recommend to anyone.
The movers arrived on time and were very efficient throughout the move. I hired 4 movers for 3 hours to clear out a 3 bedroom home and move it to a storage unit. They finished with time to spare! I would definitely recommend this company!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE! Holiday Helpers were the best movers I've ever had. Very efficient and friendly! Would hire them again in a heartbeat! I recommend for any move!
They came and did the job and worked with heavy items getting them up stairs which were not favorable for them but they took care of the job. Good communication with them and u would use the moving company again in the future and recommend then to a friend.
The 2 gentlemen who moved our furniture were on time, efficient and friendly. They took care with my items and were very concerned that I was satisfied. I would highly recommend them. The price was reasonable and I am very pleased with the service that they provided. Thanks so much!
Tariq and his crew were on time and very respectful of my home which means they took great care to maneuver a heavy sofa sleeper from my third floor to first floor. They helped deliver some furniture to Salvation Army and clean out a mess behind my wood pile. I would highly recommend Tariq and his crew for your next organizing and cleanup project.
Best experience ever. I would recommend this crew to anyone looking to move. They went above and beyond to help and make sure everything fit in the truck. Super friendly, kind, caring and extremely hard working. Words can’t express how grateful we are for them. Exceeded expectations 100%.
no complaints. They showed up ready to work, put in a long day, didn't complain, were cordial and professional - basically all you could ask for given the circumstances. Would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to a friend or neighbor.
The workers were very knowledgeable on how to pack the pod. I could not believe that they got two bedroom sets, sectional, dining room table, end tables, bags of clothing, odds and ends. Everything in the pod and they were very careful not to scratch anything. I would recommend this crew to anyone in need of packing!

All Shickshinny 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.
