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, itās considerably more affordable.

Ryan and his crew were on time, prepared with everything they needed. They worked very efficiently, and took good care of all of our belongings. I would absolutely use them again, and would recommend them to anyone who was looking for moving labor help!
This was 2nd stop, it was questionable if truck would be big enough. The two men did a fenominal job...had it packed tight and everything fit...was so impressed with how pleasant, on time and professional they were. I would definately use Hireahelper again. This was the 4th time using this company and every time it has been top-notch.
Thank you very much for all of your help with my move! We would not have been able to do it without all of your hard work and expertise. You all saved the day. I could not recommend Reno Tahoe Movers more!
They were on time and did a wonderful job especially it has been very hot day here. They treated our furniture carefully. And always had a smile. Definitely A++ workers. Thank you ??!
They showed up on time and were well prepared to do the task at hand. They worked continually and only stopped to ask a question. They completed the job on time as well. Very hard workers and I highly recommend them! Great Job!!
I hired a three-man crew for my unloading. The crew was patient enough to accommodate me in changing the time for about 2 hours due to unforeseen circumstances. They didn't try to stall or anything, excellent job! Thank you, Tamoke!
We are very happy with the help we got loading our 16’ truck. They were very careful with our furniture. Daniel is very easy to talk to. We would definitely consider having them help us with further moving assistance. We may have them drive the next truckload of furniture to Greenville with one of our cars.
Roy did an excellent job. He worked alone since a partner was unable to come as reserved for 2 helpers. We were very appreciative he completed the job within 2 hours and was very prompt starting at the appointed time. Recommend him highly.
I ordered 2 helpers and 3 showed up. They did a FANTASTIC job. They were all very friendly and really hustled uo and down the stairs like mountain goats. I cant imagine any peolke you coukd hace sent that could have outperformed "my" guys. I would DEFINITELY want these three men if i move again. Blessings Blair
I can't say enough about these two men! Mike and Ron were very nice! Was concerned for our property, and did a grand job. I would recomend them to anyone who needs help moving, AND I found out they do other things as well. If they could move to Oregon Id use them again!!!
this is a family owned buisness When they first got to the job I saw a young man and a young lady and Dad and was a little concerned. I was amazed. These two young people and Dad husseled. This was a very difficult move and not once did I hear any of them complain. They are wonderful and extremely respectful.
They were actually early, professional, respectful, hard working, prepared for the job at hand, and careful with our things. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.

One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
