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.

The helpers were hard working and amazing, I would recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you 305 on the moving for your excellent professional service.
Same two guys we had the day before. They were so good the first three hours the day before, we requested another two hours the next day. We hadn’t packed our own house at 100% (that’s on us), which is why we reserved another two hours the next day. Same as the day before, prompt, polite/professional, didn’t mess around. They got right to business and never let up!
The gentlemen were on time and polite. Handled all of my things with care. They put everything back together and finished on time. Great experience. I would highly recommend.
Viking was fantastic. The crew was very courtious and efficient and used every inch of the container. Wonderful job! I definitely recommend Viking.
These guys were fantastic!! I highly recommend them. I used them for loading and unloading boxes and furniture. If I ever move again, I will definitely call them.
Corey and his helper, Tye, did an excellent job of unloading a pod, and placing and unwrapping our belongings in our home.They arrived on time, were friendly, and worked quickly. I definitely recommend Lumpkin Enterprises and would hire them in the future.
Corey and Matt did a great job! They were on time, got everything packed and loaded from our apartment into the moving van in an hour, and took great care of our furniture. These guys are pros, would definitely use them again!
We had 3 gentlemen help us move from an apartment, and down 3 flights of stairs, to our 2 story house. They were each polite and helpful the entire time. They moved quickly and offered to help do extra tasks, if needed. It was a seamless move and I will definitely recommend to friends and use again in the future!!
Respectful of my property. Efficient given the moving space I had.. It's like playing 3d tetris... Some people are just gifted at it. Highly recommend.
Punctual, worked the two hours they were hired for non-stop, respectful and handled all of the furniture with care. I would hire Croc Movers again and can say with confidence that I highly recommend them!
The team arrived right on time and came fully prepared for the job. They worked incredibly hard from start to finish and showed real dedication to getting everything done efficiently. Even with some language differences, their professionalism and effort made the entire experience smooth and impressive. I’m very pleased with their work and would gladly recommend them!
Both men worked hard without taking breaks and did an excellent job wrapping the furniture and being careful with them. Great job assembling and disassembling the furniture and quick travel between locations. I would recommend it highly.

All South Bay 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.
