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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,975 verified customer reviews
They were very fast and professional, showed up on time, quickly loaded everything, made it to the new destination quickly, and quickly got everything inside. Nothing damaged, would reccommend.
Excellent service with a smile! The movers were so polite and patient. These gentlemen were very knowledgeable about moving. They placed items in such an organized way per my needs. They knew just what to do. I will be moving in the future and I will be using them again.
The 2 gentleman that came out to assist with the heavy furniture were knowledgeable and strong! Will recommend and use this company again in the future, thank you Franklin and Javial!!!!
Had 3 helpers for 2 hours to pack up a 3-bedroom 3-level townhouse. They actually arrived a few minutes early. They were able to pack up the entire house (what I had packed up) during that time, with the exception of the beds. They probably could’ve packed those up if I had taken them apart beforehand.
The guys were hard working, careful and respectful. They got the job done in less than two hours, which was great because we had another crew coming in to replace countertops the same day and the movers were finished before the countertop guys arrived. Great help!
Two gentlemen showed up at 8am on the dot ready to work. They moved everything we needed with to with no problem. We’re super courteous with our stuff and so helpful. I would recommend these two for anything. I don’t know where the disconnect was with telling them time frames and their pay but I wasn’t so happy with that. It had nothing to do with the men who showed up so no reflection on them.
You have some great employees. The 2 men that help me move today. Arrive. Not only on time but ahead of schedule, they were courteous and professional, and they move like robots, I didn't see them stop to take a breath. They moved a lot of stuff from my old apartment to my new apartment and they were just so pleasant in courteous that I am very impressed.
Both Guy and Guillaune did an excellent job. I was amazed that they got as much in the Pod as they did. They were very organized and took great care with our belongings. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We are getting another pod on Out 6th. I would like to have them back.
Ty and Jordan were awesome. They were punctual, friendly, efficient, and careful while wrapping and loading the fragile items. Would highly recommend them and Vicky Lu's.
These gentlemen were super professional, courteous, and communicated throughly regarding time, cautious with my belongings. Would recommend, would prefer if I use your business (Jay and Jamal.) EXCELLENT WORK
They were on time. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. Packed my storage totes and few pieces of furniture so tight it saved me about $500. I would definitely use them again.
Eddie and his helper were awesome and would highly recommend them. They were on time and enthusiastic about helping. They were very knowledgeable about furniture and navigating the complexities of our home. I would 1000% use them again!!! ??????????+

All Taneytown 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.
