|---|---|---|
| Waco, TX | $407.23 | $1,095.00 |

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.

The team was efficient, on time, careful with moving things and reassembling furniture. They went out of their way to accommodate my request to modify the schedule a bit, although they had a busy day.
David and Marcus were professional, efficient and nice guys to top it off. They helped us with both a load and the following day unloading. So happy we had their help! I would definitely recommend them.
I highly recommend HireAHelper (Go2Movers). Needed to move next day and immediately had 3 men at my beck and call who carefully moved all my things. They were on time and immediately took care of business. They moved a 3 bedroom house in 4 hours! Everything was in storage but that is still a lot of stuff. They were wonderful and saved the day !!!! I will definitely use them again. Thank you !!
They arrived about an hour early, after calling to ensure it was okay They loaded everything quickly and professionally, I would highly recommend them
Both movers did a wonderful job and were very quick. They were very careful with moving our furniture and I will recommend them to others in the future!
I would absolutely recommend Moving Texas! I hired 2 men for 2 hours to move our larger furniture, beds and antiques. They were on time, personable and very careful with all our belongings. Great guys !
These two gentlemen were great. They were very careful with my furniture and I had some large very heavy pieces. They worked extremely hard and i would most certainly use them again.
Chris was phenomenal from the time he confirmed the job until he and his son finished the job. They were friendly, efficient, neat and I will definitely call them again for any future moves.
I had an excellent experience with Agent V. I was notified by the movers when they were on their way to our home. They showed up on time and were great at organizing our belongings. They were so polite and professional. Highly recommend their service and would hire them again.
Chris was excellent. Very attentive, thoughtful and capable. He and jus partner worked well together too. I appreciated his kindness too Lynn in Waco
The two men were real gentlemen. Ready to get to work. I over estimated my time that I needed help. Although we paid for 3 hrs of help and they only worked for 1/2 hr doing the heavy stuff, I hope they got the 2 minimum or 3 hr pay. Great service and I would use you again.
The guys were great...showed up on time, worked hard and finished early. They packed the truck so well that nothing shifted during our 350-mile drive. We could not have been more pleased.

Use their app!! 4.) 200 Texas Central parkway uhaul location is the place to go for uboxes. We are an approved vendor with them and can facilitate scheduling. "

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.
