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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Everything went extremely well. The crew was professional, courteous, and efficient. They made move extremely easy. I was nervous that all my items would not fit in the pod, but they packed everything perfectly. I would 100% use them again.
They were amazing. Professional, friendly and helpful. Experts at what they do. We were in a rush to pack everything as we were moving on short notice and they couldn’t be more helpful. Highly recommend! Thank you!
The crew called ahead and arrived a few minutes early. They introduced themselves and went right to work. Our furniture, boxes, and other stuff were carefully placed where we wanted. I highly recommend Jon's Friendly Movers for anyone's moving container loading or unloading needs.
The movers did a great job! They actually fit every thing in our u haul trailer and within our time frame. It was well packed /balanced because we pulled it half way across country and everything stayed in place.
The guys were great. They moved everything into the rooms I asked them to and even moved my file cabinets to exactly were I wanted them. They were efficient and great to work with. I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend! They were very professional and smooth move. I would definitely recommend them to any one moving, and I would hire them again any time!
PLEASE!!!!! - Please be sure to call these guys anytime you need help with a move. The pre-communication was excellent, the guys; Lydell & German, arrived exactly when they said they would, and they were both incredibly professional, efficient, and most importantly careful with our belongings. I could not have been more impressed or satisfied with this experience! THANK YOU GERMAN & LYDELL!
These two gentlemen were troopers. They battled the heat with no complaints. Were positive and willing to go the extra mile to make moving the items into place the best way possible. I would hire them again when/if the need arises. Professionalism and pride in the work they do!
I would use these two men again. They did a great job with helping me move and giving suggestions on what to do with complex situation. I highly recommend them.
I would definitely recommend Precise carriers company for anyone who is moving they are professional and know exactly what they’re doing. They handled my furniture with care And answered every question that I had .Great Job!
Great communication from the very beginning and they were able to work with me on a last minute schedule change. Very pleasant, even cheerful, despite the heavy lifting and challenges of the furniture placement in the house.
These guys are amazing! What took us five hours to load up took them 50 minutes to unload and put in all the proper rooms. They were fun and had a good sense of humor and made the whole process enjoyable even though it’s hot outside moving is never fun. I would use these guys in a heartbeat if I needed the help again.

All Surry 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.
