Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move
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 movers to load or unload your stuff.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

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

| North Carolina | $407.80 | $1,066.95 |

They did a great job! I rented a pod, and was a little worried by stuff wouldn't fit, but they got it all. They were right on time and called me when they were thirty minutes away. I will definitely use them again.
Workers are excellent! You will not get a call or a text from the company . Used them twice; they did not respond to my emails or voicemails left despite sending several. Also, expect a “move protection fee” even if they don’t actually move you. We had hired helpers for unloading only.
The three guys were amazing, on time and polite. They worked very hard, they were careful of our belongings, took great care of everything, we are very grateful for all of you! Thanks and I will recommend you. Linda Jones
These two young men were on time. They were complete professionals. They were cheerful, friendly, knowledgeable and hard working young men. I absolutely would use them again, and have already given the Moving Engineers and Logistics information to Beck Estate Sales. These two were really impressive! Boyd & Renny Cave Bon Air, VA
I felt very comfortable from the minute they arrived till the minute they left. They were professional and respectful of me and my things. They were polite and helped with problem solving on the loading end of things. AND they worked HARD. Not a minute of down time. Not one complaint. Very relieved to have had these two helpers at the loading end of the move.
Helpers were early, curtious, respectful, and took great care of the items we had while moving them from the truck into the house. Especially appreciated the effort taken moving the large, heavy items into the rooms that were a tight fit. They were able to perform geometric magic! Overall, the best moving experience I ever had in my lifetime.
They came right on time. They were professional, courteous, and expert. The filled the pod with more things than I thought could fit. They were smart about things. They worked hard and finished a half hour early with no breakage or mishaps of any kind. They made what looked like a hard job easy. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
If there were more than 5 stars to give, I would've definitely given it to the 4 guys that helped me load a 3 BR House. They were professional, courteous, careful, and FAST! They fit 10lbs of stuff in a 5lb bag for sure! I bet there wasn't 10sq ft of available space after the truck was loaded... I definitely cannot say enough good things about these guys. They are VERY good at what they do!
Mr Rouse and his helper were very courtious,respectful,timely and through . We were very pleased with the service we received. I would recommend them to anyone we know.
I ask for two men to help me move my furniture, they showed at my house a few minutes early and ask to be briefed on what was to be done. They packed the moving truck in a professional manner working hard and efficient, they were careful with my items and I was well satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend Smart Move to any one needing this type of help.
Arrived an hour earlier than booked and in the beginning of the time slot. Very friendly and efficient movers. Got the job done in less than half the time. Highly recommend!!
Our perfect gentlemen arrived on time and ready to work. They were awesome. They had to disassemble three beds and a dining room table and were very cautious with all items. Our Nordic Track treadmill was not easy for them but they did not give up and never a cross word was spoken. They had great manners and attitude. We will most certainly use them again.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Gaston movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 mover’s 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 have—make 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 for 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.
