|---|---|---|
| Strafford, VT | $439.64 | $1,143.60 |

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.

Good Afternoon. The two gentlemen were prompt, courteous, professional and friendly. Even having to move the apartment boxes and furniture down three flights of stairs, never one complaint. Actually had fun and shared some good jokes. I would recommend these movers to anyone in their service area. Best Regards, Ron, Brandon, and family
They were awesome. They returned my call to confirm a couple of days before and they texted me the day of the move to reconfirm their arrival time. They arrived when they said they would and they were fast and extremely nice to work with. I will use them again.
Arrived on time, were friendly and worked quickly and efficiently yet were careful with everything. Took the time to move items where I requested them and position furniture in a couple different ways so I could decide where I wanted it. Only wish I didn't have to hire at a two-hour minimum rate because they were done in less than an hour. But I was happy with the service.
These guys were great! David and another guy worked with our constantly changing move times to show up exactly when we needed. They were friendly, professional and hustled through the move. I’d definitely hire these guys again.
I thought the Handy Man Moving Crew was awesome. They arrived early and went right to work. They were friendly, professional, efficient and very accomodating to every detail I wanted done regarding the unloading of the truck to the packing and arranging the furniture in the storage area.I will hire them again.
Two very hard working movers came to help me load a moving truck. Lots of heavy and bulky items including a safe, dressers, China cabinet, and vidmar cabinet. They were very careful of our floors, walls, and doors, and didn't damage anything. They did a spectacular job playing Tetris with everything while loading it into the truck. I would strongly recommend them to anyone in the area!
This AAMT team took the job on short notice after another company failed to show. They arrived promptly and immediately took charge of unloading a large truck before night set in. They worked efficiently and carefully, always maintaining a courteous and amiable manner. We highly recommend AAMT.
These young men were polite and respectful. They arrived on time and didn’t stop until the job was done. They took the time to put boxes in the room they would go to. I definitely would recommend to everyone and would use them again if I had the need.
The movers were incredible! They were quick with loading, friendly, and packed the truck really well. I had never hired movers before and this was worth every penny. It was a last minute deal and we could not have done it without them. Thanks, guys!
Wicked Smooth Movers were exemplary professionals. They were careful with our furniture, very friendly and extremely efficient. The communication before the move was excellent. When we arrived at our destination, they accommodated us by coming early. They worked very hard moving our furniture. I would not hesitate to hire them again and recommend them very highly.
Mike and Mike did a wonderful job. They were very fast, professional, and polite. They really knew what they were doing,and they worked very hard. I would definitely recommend them.
Great service! On-time arrival, speedy loading/unloading, very careful with my boxes. And they fit more than I thought possible into the moving truck.

All Strafford 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.
