Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move
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 movers to load or unload your stuff.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

| New York | $446.29 | $1,177.89 |

Mark and Travis were fabulous. Kept in touch w me to confirm they were coming, showed up right on time, worked fast and hard and carefully. Would definitely hire these guys again.
Dan and Mike from A.R.M.S. were awesome. An estimator told me that I had too much stuff to fit in a 16 foot PODS container. Dan and Mike made it all fit. Saved me money on the move. They're hard workers with a good sense of humor. -Bill Voorheesville, NY
Workers were there on time and finished job well before expected. Their efficiency , quality and professionalism that some outfits lack. They stayed to make sure that all of our needs were met and even provided additional help with some of the projects we needed assistance with. I would highly recommend this company to any person looking for help while moving.
A HUGE thank you to Gio, Mez and Blade! This team was efficient, professional, courteous and took on a hurculean effort of moving a very difficult furniture piece to the second floor of my home. I appreciate all they did to make my move seemless and stress free. Thank you for being *TEAM INVINCIBLE*
The crew did an outstanding job...arrived on time...had a slight hic up because of traffic due to an accident. They were professional and curtious throughout the day. I am very pleased with their job and will recommend them to anyone
Everyone was kind, friendly, and hard working. The crew of 4 arrived punctually, and got right to work. I should also note, that they worked very hard to meet my expectations. Plus, what I thought would take six hours, only took these guys about 4.5. I would absolutely hire this group again. Highly recommended!
Kyle and his colleague showed up right on time, worked efficiently and professionally. They handled our belongings with care, and did everything asked of them. In addition, they were pleasant and had a good attitude. If the occasion arises, I'd definitely hire them again.
Great job! They were really efficient! I plan on utilizing them again. They were really knowledgeable on how to load the POD and knew exactly where to place everything.
Greg and Connor did a great job in a less than ideal move. They were very flexible with their time and accommodating to the circumstances. They agreed to an extra 3 hours of unplanned work. Great job guys!!
These guys were great. Friendly, nice to work with and got the job finished in the Two hour minimum. I highly recommend Hire A Helper from Albany, NY!
C&S Lending Hands were wonderful! We confirmed all the details before the move date and the two hours I booked were used very efficiently. They packed our relocation cubes with great care and were super helpful with making sure items were secure. Lovely to work with, and I’d definitely hire them again. So wish they were available at our end location! Highly recommend them!
Very respectful guys, were hired last minute. It was great that they showed up at the crack of dawn, as I knew they actually had to drive almost 2 hours to do the job! They worked hard and got the job done well, and very quickly.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Stamford movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 mover’s 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 have—make 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 for 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.
