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.

Workers all showed up on time and were very professional. They unloaded my 28 ft. trailer with care in less than 2 hours and put all my boxes and furniture exactly were instructed. They even helped in assembling my Sauna. I would recommend them to anyone in need of moving labor help. Darren and Linda H, Grateful in Banner Elk.
Ted and Lupe did a great job coming in at last minute to replace another team of 2 that had a lot longer job to do than they thought. Very friendly very knowledgeable
Ted and his assistant were really good. They worked very hard and quickly. They were courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend then to anyone.
Great guys! Arrived a little early, got right to work, did everything I asked quickly, then checked to make sure there was nothing else they could do. Very nice, polite, respectful and friendly. Absolutely would hire again and recommend them to someone needing assistance.
Drake & Indigo did a great job! They arrived on time & are very pleasant and respectful. Hard workers! I would definitely recommend using Smart Move. Thank you again Drake & Indigo!
On time. Prepared with equipment needed. Professional and friendly. Very helpful, even asked if there was more I needed them to do. Finished the job in time allotted.
So very impressed with this team of 2 who got in, did the job and made my life so much easier. Not one issue. PODS emptied in the 2 hours booked. Furniture set up and boxes moved to different rooms. I would hire this team again and again.
Very professional and efficient. Very respectful of my belongings . They were also very accommodating as I was moving from out of state and my timeline changed a little. Nice people - great job ... I highly recommend.
The guys were on time (despite an hour and 40 minute commute just to get to my place), efficient, and friendly! It took them less than 45 minutes to unload an 8x8 container and bring everything up a flight of stairs to the apartment. I would definitely use them again!
Ted and Austin arrived on time, began work immediately and were very professional and careful with our furniture. They packed our truck like a puzzle and nothing shifted in transit, even going down the mountain roads from Jefferson, NC. We would highly recommend them. Super nice guys and a great job!!
On time, prepared, respectful and caring of our property. 100% satisfied and grateful for the help. Professional, courteous and hard working. I recommend Johnny the owner and Timothy, his brother, without reservation and would use their services again when needed. Perfect experience. Kim McCallum
I scheduled them the day after my pod delivery since I didn't know what time the container would arrive. The pod was delivered early in the morning. I soon got a call from the movers if I wanted them to come in a couple of hours instead of waiting for the next day. I couldn't be happier to get unpacking right away. They were friendly and got it done quickly.

All Watauga 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.
