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.

Had a great experience with having our 16 ft POD unloaded by Handy Hands Labor. Came on time with the hand truck needed. Finished early, were great guys and we will hire them for our next move!
Mike and Rick did a fantastic job. They were punctual, got right to work, and were very careful with everything! I'm definitely hiring them again! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The guys showed up on time and worked each minute they were on the clock. They did not require prompting, worked independently and were polite. I appreciate their hard work!!!
They were polite and helpful. Quickly moved everything out of my POD. Full set up of bed and dinning room table. This was a smooth and easy move.
Fantastic! Prompt and finished in a great time! Super friendly and personable guys. They were really willing to help me out even more than I needed. Definitely would use them again.
My guys were great.. they did a terrific job and had everything done in 1.5 hrs. I would definitely and highly recommend your service to my friends. In fact my friend Bill is going to use your service.. thanks so much..
Great service and communication. Marshall always answered his phone to work out timing details and pre arrival details. Matt and Aaron did the 'heavy lifting' , they are hard workers, they were very flexible and helpful.
These movers showed up on time and worked every minute. They were unbelievable in how they were able to arrange everything in the truck. They were careful with our possessions and followed instructions impeccably. It was refreshing to see young men work so hard and be so accommodating and personable. I would give them 10 stars.
The two men from Handy Hands Labor were great. On time and they knew their job very well. They were very careful of property and were very friendly which made our day go smooth. It was good for us to work along side them and let them handle all the heavy stuff. Both were steady hard workers and would use them again.
Mark and Mike of Makin Movers were unbelievable helpers. We had 4 relo cubes and they unpacked them in no time. They were careful with our belongings and very pleasant to deal with. They went the extra mile and were by far the best movers we've ever had. I would use them again in a heart beat. Thanks!
Mike and Rick were fantastic. Pointed out necessary things we hadn't thought of and were very easy to work with. They were very careful and thoughtful about packing things that are fragile and listened carefully to what we needed. Great job all around!
Courteous. On time. Good communication Took great care in handling my belongings. Hard fast workers. Very organized. Will definitely hire them again and highly recommend them.

One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
