1. Moving
Hourly labor refers to services paid by the hour. One of the most common uses of this labor is moving. For example, UniMovers is a labor-only moving company that charges by the hour.
Hourly labor can help you with many aspects of moving. UniMovers’ services include disassembly and assembly of furniture like bed frames and desks. We can also help you pack and load up your stuff. Once you’ve arrived at your destination, hourly labor can also help you unload everything and unpack.
One of the advantages of hiring a labor-only moving company is that with hourly labor, moving services are cheap and highly customizable. UniMovers is perfect for you if you want to transport your belongings yourself, but think you could use some help with other aspects of the moving process.
2. Renovation Projects
Hourly labor can also help you with renovation projects like remodeling your kitchen. If you’re planning to remodel, you’ll probably use hourly labor, either hiring handymen or remodeling contractors.
Remodeling contractors might take care of projects themselves, or they might be managers who find people who can provide the services you need during a renovation. Either way, they typically charge by the hour.
You might also want other hourly labor services like movers during a renovation project. For example, maybe you’re redoing your floors and need to get all your furniture off them.
3. Event Set-Up and Tear-Down
Event set-up and tear-down are other tasks that can be made easier with hourly labor.
You can hire UniMovers to help unpack, set up, and repack equipment like tables, chairs, lighting, and more. Events require a lot of organization, so it’s great to get help from professionals who are used to coordinating projects like this. We can even help with tasks like keeping the area free of trash during the event.
4. Dumpster Loading
Dumpster loading is also much easier with hourly labor. You might rent a dumpster for a short-term project like cleaning out your house or renovating a room. However, getting everything into the dumpster can be quite a challenge.
We can move your furniture, debris from demolition, or objects like branches into a dumpster for you.
5. Rearranging Furniture
Revamping your home? Maybe you need to move large furniture up and down stairs. Maybe you need to create an office or a guest bedroom. Hourly labor can be really helpful in these cases.
Rather than risking stress and injury, consider getting professional help rearranging furniture. UniMovers doesn’t just provide quality moving services—we also provide in-home services!
6. Home Staging
If you’re looking to sell your home, you might need to do some home staging. Staging can help you sell your home faster. It often involves tasks like cleaning, decluttering, and decorating.
Home staging is another place where hourly labor can be really helpful. Maybe you need to move everything out of the way so you can clean thoroughly. Maybe you need to get some furniture out of the room or load it into a truck so you can haul it away. Maybe you need help unpacking and mounting decorations. UniMovers’ quality hourly labor services cover all these tasks.

7. Warehouse and Office Moves
Hourly labor can also help you with a warehouse or office move. These types of commercial moves require more expertise than home moves typically do since they require packing, tracking, and relocating vast amounts of fragile items.
UniMovers provides commercial moving services and can help with the many stages of the warehouse and office moving process. We can also help with simply reorganizing your warehouse or office space.
8. Loading Storage Units
Last but not least, hourly labor can help you pack and unpack storage units. You might rent a storage unit if you’re renovating a room and want all the furniture out, or if you’re moving and need somewhere to store your things temporarily. Storage units can also be great if you have seasonal equipment you don’t want in your house year-round.
Useful as they are, storage units can be a pain to unpack and pack. UniMovers’ quality hourly labor services can help with these tasks as well.
Conclusion
We’ve gone over eight ways you can use hourly labor services. These companies can help you with moving and renovation projects, unpacking and repacking equipment for an event, loading up a dumpster, and rearranging furniture within your home. Hourly labor companies also provide valuable services for home staging, warehouse and office moves, and packing and unpacking storage units.
Keep hourly labor in mind when you tackle all these projects! Hiring a quality service like UniMovers might save both your time and your back.
