Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Shorter, AL | $499.65 | $1,307.42 |

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.

This was my second time working with Brantley Professional movers. They went above and beyond excellence. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of work that they performed. They were on time and worked in a timely fashion. For the best help with your moving needs, I highly recommend this company.
The guys were great, very courteous, and extremely cautious about fragile things and walls. I will recommend your movers and company to anybody else that is moving.
I have been in the military or associated with it for over 45 years. Hands down the best moving company I have ever used. They worked with my schedule, and the team was fantastic. Worked hard and got it all done rapidly but safely. Nothing was damaged. Would 100% use again and will in two years!!!! I could not recommend more.
This is a family business and it shows in the pride they take in their work. They worked hard and were careful with our belongings. I don't think you could ask for more. We are moving out of state so it's not likely that we will have the chance to use them again, but I definitely would.
This is the best U.S. based moving team we have worked with in our 20+ years of military service! Everyone was professional and Gary is the Tetris Master!
I had two men show up. One was absolutely superb. He made sure nothing was damaged, he was extremely efficient at packing the container, and he was easy to work with. The second guy was a bit less experienced and needed some mentoring (which the first man provided), but he did a good job. I would absolutely recommend these guys (especially the first one).
The team did an exceptional job in a timely fashion. They were very polite and accommodating to whatever I needed during their time here. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Extremely helpful, friendly, hardworking and very professional. They set up all of our bedrooms & furniture and took great care to not mark up walls and floors. I would recommend Gary and Melissa to anyone who needs help moving. A+++
Great experience with these movers. They were professional, hardworking, careful with our belongings, and just genuinely good people. Moving is stressful enough, but they made the whole process smooth and easy. Really appreciated their attitude and work ethic. Definitely earned the 5 stars.
I recommend Brantley for anyone who needs things packed extremely well. Gary and Melissa are a phenomenal team and packed our ABF trailer wall to wall and floor to ceiling. They got all our household goods in a 28' trailer with space to spare! These folks are in high demand for a good reason - they are highly experienced expert packers.
Great crew! Gary and Mellissa were prompt, fast, and precise. All my items were packed with limited space and safe. I would highly recommend Gary, Mellisa, and Brantley Service!
I have used Hire a Helper twice to move to a new home. First to Load and now to unload. They were timely sent notices confirming the schedule and arrived on time. they were fast and efficient and affordable.

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 Shorter 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.
