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.

My move would have been much more complicated without this kind of service. 3m Movers were on time and ready to work. They cleared out my 16 foot POD within the allotted time which was a lot of hard work. Although I don't expect to move again in this lifetime, but should it happen otherwise, I would use 3M Movers again.
These guys rocked it! Super nice and efficient, they got the job done much faster than I thought they would and put everything exactly where it needed to be. When I need a moving service again, it will be these guys!
They were on time and extremely efficient. We were amazed how quickly they worked. They were very professional and courteous and worked well as a team. We would absolutely hire them again.
These were two excellent movers who finished the job in 1.5 hours. They were on time and worked hard. Honest and personable fellows who we would hire again. Thank you, Harley and Wally.
They were on time and well organized. We had our POD uploaded and in the second floor apartment in under an hour. Very grateful for all of their hard work.
Excellent hardworking gentlemen who worked fast. Extremely courteous and helpful. Went above and beyond to accomplish things I couldn’t. Thank you SO SO much!
I don’t know how to rate, they worked hard, very professional, respectful of property I find that $356 for one hour was extremely expensive, since half of job was done. They brought up the sectional but couldn’t bring down the sofa and love seat. Although they did try, it never went down and was still charged. So my disappointment is not with the young men, but with the company
The team was on time, highly communicative, and very kind to family who was present at the location drop off. This is the first time I've hired movers and I ran into zero issues. I think the high quality communication attributed a lot to setting the right expectations about timing and delivery -- starting from the initial call with SML through the deliver with Sharp Van Lines.
They took extreme care of us during our last minute move! Lucas and crew are very efficient, highly communicative and went above and beyond for us! Would highly recommend!
They were helpful, moved quickly and communicated when they were going to be late from their previous job. Very courteous and good communication during the job as well.
The men were on time. The estimated time to unload container was 2 hours. These 2 men cleaned out the container in 1 hour and 20 minutes. They are hard working men. Nothing was damaged or messed up, they were respectful of our things. We would gladly use the services of 3M movers again.
The guys that loaded our Pods were organized, fast, and basically expert level at Tetris. Super nice and went above and beyond to ensure our belongings were safely packed. Highly recommended!!

All Smoketown 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.
