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.

They were prompt, courteous and professional. It took them 3 hours to unpack a packed tight 26' truck. Wonderful guys, would definitely hire them again!
The 2 movers that showed up did a great job. However we had a problem on the scheduling side. I would suggest calling your contact person the day before to confirm the time. We also have been billed for time not used and I am hoping not to have a difficult time getting a refund.
Tim and Ryan were excellent. They were on time, responsive, worked incredibly hard (honestly, don't even know how they kept up the pace but they did), were exceptionally nice to work with, and did the job professionally without any damage to furniture, walls or floors. It was a pleasure working with them and I would recommend them highly for any future jobs.
Knowledgeable, efficient, careful, courteous, timely, patient. They accommodated every request to reposition things or adjust. Every request was treated the same whether large or small. I am very impressed and would recommend them highly.
My two helpers, Marcus and Patrick, were extremely professional, friendly, nice and experienced. They eased my apprehensions that the job was going to be done on time - I really appreciated their confidence! It was great working with them, and if I were not moving, I'd use them again and again! They made a stressful morning pain free!
These guys were great! They showed up on time, were friendly, took care of my stuff, and got it all out of the truck and into the house in less than half the time that I had estimated.
I was impressed by the efficient work of the movers. They arrived promptly, got right to work, and were respectful of my furniture. I’d recommend them with confidence.
The guys did great work and at a very fast pace. I was very satisfied with the level of care they provided. Altogether a great experience. I would gladly use them again...
My Husband and I were extremely pleased with The 3B Helpers. They came on time. They were friendly, took great care with our furniture, and were very efficient. We would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them.
They sent 4 guys instead of the 3 we paid for. On time. Got our job done in less time than we paid. Waiting to see if they packed the truck well and our belongings arrived intact. Happy with the service so far. Well worth the $$.
The helpers were excellent. They did everything that was asked and did it with care. I have old heavy furniture and they made sure not to damage the furniture, the walls or woodwork. They were polite and asked questions so they could do a quick and efficient job. Definitely recommend.
The helpers were on time. They packed everything perfectly. They were very kind and considerate and friendly and worked very professionally. I highly recommend them.

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.
All Stoystown 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 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.
