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.

Howard & Lenny were amazing! They alerted me what time they would arrive, then actually arrived on time. I really should have ordered a larger container for what I had to more, so I could see they were a little concerned. They positively surveyed the stuff & planned out how they would make the best move for me, while leaving the least stuff for my son to load & move in his pick-up truck tomorrow. They amazingly got done a little ahead of time. They were really pleasant all through this process & I will happily recommend them & the company to anyone who needs help moving. Thank you all so much!

The team sent to assist with the move were friendly, professional and had great attitudes. They helped with loading and unloading at a different location. Everything was efficienty moved with no damage.
I would recommend these guys and would use them again.
Though they did call ahead for being late, we started 30 minutes later. I think he forgot that and ended their two-hour service a half hour early. They did work hard for that time so that was appreciated.
Anthony and Isaac were absolutely terrific! They made everything fit and used every inch of available space in my PODS unit. It is packed and furniture is protected for its move from Maryland to Texas. Thanks for a great job!
They 2 guys came fast when we were moving and the 2 friends bailed on us after loading truck. It was Sunday evening, and they were awesome! They helped us set up furniture and they were friendly! Next time we move or anyone asks, I'm definitely telling them to call Vicky Lu!
If you had 10 or more stars I would give them that rating or the top rating. They called the night before and the day of move several times to confirm. I was very impressed as they were very courteous and very professional on the phone and in person. They demonstrated the years of experience they have in this business. They came ready to work and they worked very hard. I asked them if they wanted pizza and they would not stop for lunch or any time. They were very respectful of us and our items. I would definitely use them again and have already recommended them to some of my friends.
The guys showed up on time, did everything i wanted them to do and did it quickly. Took extra effort to be careful with my stuff. I highly recommend them!
Sterner's Moving sent me 2 men to move furniture from a POD into my home. They arrived ontime and were professional and curteous throughout despite the 90+ heat. They showed a great deal of care for my property and a job I was apprehensive went smoothly without a hitch. I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them in the future.
The moving team I hired showed up on time and was extremely helpful. They moved the heavy stuff and then the light stuff and even helped clear away trash and debris. They were willing to just do whatever needed doing which was very nice.
The two guys were very nice and respectful and I would definitely use them again.
If you’re interested in using street parking, please note you may need a permit for parking PODS or moving trucks on particular streets or in driveways. Penske and U-Haul truck rentals are the two suppliers in our area with the biggest supply of trucks readily available.

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 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 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 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.
