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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 322,847 verified customer reviews
On time and worked faster than I expected. They used care in moving items to not cause any damage. Removed marble tops so they did not have a chance to brake. They had tools necessary but did not need them. As of now we will use them to move the items back into the house. They exhausted me just watching them! We scheduled 3 hours but they were just over 1 hour, be aware there is no refund!
These guys were so professional. They arrived early and got to work right away. The help they provided us was so appreciated! They never stopped working during our time slot. They moved quickly and efficiently. We truly couldn't have made our move without them!!
This is the third time I have used this crew. They are excellent. Prompt, polite, thoughtful, hard working, good natured, outstanding care with belongings and efficient packers, making the most of the space being packed. I recommend them above anyone I have ever used before.
Definitely would recommend John and Dylan of Smart Moves -- they were courteous, conscientious, and very professional. They are easy to work with and were extremely careful with our goods as they moved them (deliberate but not slow!). They had some very good recommendations and were quite smart about using the available packing space. I highly recommend Smart Moves!
The workers were nice and friendly. They appeared to be very careful with our items. However, when we got to our destination for the unload, we notice nothing had been shrink wrapped and they indicated they would wrap items to ensure protection. That was not done and a few items were turned over and slightly nicked.
Quinton’s Team from Bendion’s Best Moves was outstanding… Skilled, on-time, polite, professional…and easy to work with. They took care of protecting our furniture and boxes. Everything was wrapped & secured. They followed our directions & requests. We recommend them.
First Choice Movers were ON TIME PREPARED WORKED HARD RESPECTFUL OF PROPERTY and GENERALLY NICE FOLK I highly recommend you DIYers give them a chance to expedite your moving needs.
The two helpers were very professionals and friendly. They really knew what there were doing. They got there on time and got the job done in a smart way.
They did a super job moving most of my things into a PODS. They also moved furniture and other items anywhere else I needed. The two men were amiable to wrapping some of the pieces in plastic when requested. Both were respectful of my property and worked quickly and efficiently. I will hire them again to unpack my belongings when that time comes.
Fantastic pair of guys. Made very quick work of unloading a 16ft truck! Took great care with my furnishings and placed everything exactly where I asked. Still had a little time left over and they graciously asked if I needed anything else. Highly recommend!
I'm gonna move again in a month just so I can hire them again. Great people, hard workers, went above and beyond, and worked autonomously- I didnt feel like I needed to helicopter their every movement. I'll recommend them to every ear that will listen.
They were late but that's because one of the guys didn't show and they had to get a replacement. However they worked very hard, we're careful and courteous, and worked on pouring down rain. Great job!

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.

All Gulf 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.
