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 arrived a little after the window, but communicated the delay and got everything moved within the 2 hours. They were easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!
These guys were great! I say give them 10 stars. They were actually at the storage units before we were. they were efficient and friendly. Seemed to make light work of a very difficult move for us. I would gladly ask for them next time.
I was beyond impressed with how efficient and well they were at packing a shipping Pod. I wish they were going to be at my future location to help me unpack.
I have moved a lot. Large moves, small moves, cross town, cross country. I have used expensive big companies and starving students. I've seen it all. But these guys were unreal. I would highly recommend them.
The helpers were delayed due to an accident (which we passed ourselves) on Interstate 64. They made sure we knew of the delay and once they did come, set to work. They were polite, friendly and got all our belongings in the house well.
This team ROCKS! They were efficient with time. They hustled their a$$ off. Highly experienced with loading and loading. These guys were effective keeping valuables safe, nothing broken or scrapped. Don’t pass this team up. Highly recommend them and I have moved a lot.
Mr. Coleman was very friendly and they did very good work! I highly recommend that anyone considering hiring help to move give him a call as he is courteous and professional. I had some very heavy items and he was very careful with my belongings and knew what he was doing packing the truck. Thanks for the help!
Greg and LaTrelle were great. They were hard working and helpful. The scheduling wasn’t the best. Whoever scheduled these guys let them come late because a previous job ran long. Not cool.
Willie and Brandon did a great job! They were super efficient and careful with my things, and were very kind as well. They were on time and worked hard to ensure my things and my old place and new place were take. Care of with no damage. I would highly recommend them. Thank you, Affordable Moving Labor, Inc.
Did a fantastic job, showed up, asked what needed to be moved, and delivered no questions asked. Worked with me too and were incredibly professional when the invoice had the wrong address. Gave it 10 minutes, they had arrived and we did the rest of the move without problem. Absolutely would recommend.
Kevin from Carter Moving was excellent! Kept me informed as to schedule of thir day, and when they were going to arrive. He had 3 young guys, total of 4 men , they unloaded my 16" container in less than 2 hours, set up my beds, attached the mirror to the dresser, and unwrapped all furniture of the protective plastic wrap! Highly recommend Carter Moving!
I would absolutely recommend Duck Solution Movers, they arrived early and moved very quickly - despite 3 flights of stairs. They took great care of our furniture - they were super friendly and I would absolutely use them again!

All Staunton City 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.
