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.

They did a great job only complaint was waiting for them to get there and started but they all worked very hard and was very pleasant and took care of my stuff ty lois
Aaron Cordell was fantastic. They were efficient courteous and got the job done. There's nothing more I can add because there's not more than needed to do. That's it
Team of 2 guys, unloaded a 6x12 trailer in a little over an hour. One hard worker, other less so, but they did well, not damaging anything. Would use them again
Excellent communication prior to the job, making sure that all needs were met. I had everything ready for them to pack and they got the house garage and shed packed in 4 hours. The truck was well utilized and no damage due to the packers.They worked hard and knew what to do to keep the house and items in it safe. Would use again for sure.
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.
Top notch in every way. On time, professional, careful, courteous, and by far the fastest group I've ever hired. This is a company I'll definitely use again. I give my highest recommendation. Special thanks to Maurice for managing the details.
The crew arrived within the requested time window and completed the work within the estimated two hour time frame. I would definitely use these guys again.
We were very happy with Top Flight Movers! Very very friendly and very quick! We didn't have much to move but they unloaded our entire truck in about a half hour! We couldn't have been more pleased with the job. Will absolutely use them again in the future.
The group of guys who unloaded my truck did a good job. They didn't tear up any of my items. They were responsive and it worked hard on a very hot and humid day.
Movers showed up on time and were a great asset to my moving day! I was super stressed and felt like I had a lot of items, but they were able to pack things up and move all my stuff in two hours. I really appreciated all the help!
The crew was very professional and ensured that everything was moved in carefully so not to cause any damage. The largest piece was a beast and they tried all they could to try and get it to the location we requested. In the end, the house was the hurdle so we were able to get it into a secondary location. Will be the first call we make for any future work.
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.

All Sidney 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.
