The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

| Washington, NC | $350.14 | $762.47 |
| North Carolina | $407.80 | $1,066.95 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $350.14 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Washington, NC, with an average hourly rate of $81.83. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

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.

Arrived on time within the arrival window. Friendly guys and very respectful. They moved everything in fast and well under the allotted time while making sure to respect my property and being careful as they moved things. Would recommend them.
Both young men were courteous, helpful and prepared to work. They arrived on time and worked hard. I will call them again when i move out of the apartment to the house I hope to find soon.
John & his crew did an amazing job! They were professional, jovial, & hard-working. They evaluated what we had in a second story apartment & neatly packed everything into a uhaul for our move. John was attentive to ask about fragile & breakable items in order to pack them appropriately. They were wonderful conversationalists & a pleasure to work with!
Very helpful. Had a POD that was packed to the brim and almost every box was taken to an upstairs room. They were able to get everything up there and came prepared with the necessary moving equipment. Even after the job was done, they asked if there was anything else I needed help with. Both men were very nice.
Timely, professional and personable. These young men did an excellent job with the move. We had just furniture and heavy bins. They were working on a typically scheduled day off, but they did the job without complaint or grumbling. Was a super hot day and they made the job seem effortless. We will use again when we have our carpet replaced in a few years!!!
The gentleman that came and helped us move were fantastic and very nice. I liked that they wanted to see the layout of the apartment because of a flight of stairs and had to figure out how to maneuver all of my bigger items. They were quick and courteous. Highly recommend.
Tristan and Travis were superb . They were punctual, polite and efficient . They packed the pod so professionally and were so kind and helpful . I would highly recommend them both . Thank you Dr Cassie Ward
Did a great job for us. They arrived on time and were ready to move my things. I left a third floor apartment and there was a lot of things to move down all those steps. Thankfully, I moved into a ground floor place so the move on the other end was much easier and quicker for the gentlemen. We would use them again.
Leon Willis and the other gentleman showed great respect and courtesy They Understood my needs and executed Them professionally Thank you Alfred Coward
Second time using these professionals and again great work. On time arrival, professional loading and unloading work, absolutely no complaints. Recommend without hesitation.
Carey and Terry were excellent. Carey called me the evening before to confirm details, they arrived on time, were friendly and professional. I was very pleased with the service and would definitely use Smart Move again.
The guys were very professional, quick and polite ! They were very sympathetic to my moving situation and the customer service was excellent. The office personnel made sure everything was going well from start to finish and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone ! Kristina G New Bern NC

- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Washington 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.
