“ 5 Ron K, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 5/14/2012 They were a little late but called me to let me know. They communicated well prior to the move They were very respectable and worked quickly and were done in a little over one hour. I would use them again and recommend them to others.
“ 5 Thanh L, River Forest IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 5/12/2012 I used Coffey Bros to load my storage container. The movers were 30 minutes late, however, they called an hour before to let me know. Overall, the 2 gentlemen did a great job and finished everything in 90 minutes. They took time to take down the bedframes and dining room table. I will use them again when I need to unload my stor…read moreage container.
“ 5 Gwen B, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 4/28/2012 These guys were great. Very professional, expert, fast workers. Loaded the truck in a time crunch, and worked up to the minute the clock ran out. Next time I will book them longer, and give them a bigger tip. Take their advice and buy the plastic wrap - don't think I'll be moving without it again.
“ 5 Jonathan W, Western Springs IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 4/21/2012 The crew was professional, hard working, and VERY fast. Hands-down *the* best money I spent on this entire move. My experience with Hire-A-Helper started a little rough when my scheduled time from the website wasn't actually available, but Ken (the owner?) was really great to work with and find a time that worked. On the …read moreday of the move, Randy (one of the movers) called when they were a few minutes away, and they arrived in time to start at 11:30 (their arrival window was between 11:00 - 12:00). I showed them the scope of the project and identified everything that was to be moved, and then they were off. It was really amazing. They wrapped any furniture I requested (I paid extra for the plastic wrap, which was well worth it) which kept everything clean and held moving blankets in place. They even took apart furniture that I was expecting to disassemble while they were moving other things. I reserved the crew of 3 movers for 5 hours but it only took them 3 hours to finish the job, and they even refunded me the extra two hours I didn't use (they have a minimum of 3 hours, and anything over that is prorated). They could've taken their time and extended it out to the full 5 hours, but they busted their butts to get it done fast. I really appreciated this. The only surprise was a $20 travel fee that I had to pay in cash at the end. I didn't see it in the bill or posted anywhere in the hiring process, but I suppose it could've been there. Fortunately I had extra cash on me in addition to the tip money, so not a huge deal. If Coffee Bros is reading this: you may want to make that fee a bit more clear up front so that we can be prepared. All-in-all, it was a fantastic move, and I would hire these guys again. Thanks for your help!
“ 3 Nicole S, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 3/22/2012 They worked hard did a decent job, but werent able 2 get all my stuff on the truck. Im not sure if they mispacked my things, and i think one of the guys spent too much time trying to explain-
“ 3 Breann G, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 3/4/2012 I'm torn over what the rate the Coffeey Bros. Movers. First off, they showed up a bit late and were not very energetic. The two guys kind of waited around for my direction and did not appear to take the initiative at first, which made it awkward. Once the move was underway they were fine movers and worked quickly. Despite the fa…read morect that I had warned Kenneth, the manager, of a large piece of furniture I had and that they needed to bring a dolly. They didn't have the dolly and didn't know about needing it. Then the monstrous piece of furniture got banged up in the process (because they had to move it manually) and now I will have to make an insurance claim, which is awfully annoying. Luckily, they do have insurance which is a plus.
“ 5 Laurie J, Lombard IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 2/27/2012 I was able to speak with Ken at Coffey Bros within minutes of booking their services. We discussed my needs/requirements and made sure I would have the necessary items to make the move. The team showed up on schedule and were very courteous.

I will be using Coffey Bros again and do not hesitate recommending them for any type of service. Thanks Guys!
“ 4 Stephanie M, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 2/12/2012 They were on time, very flexible with scheduling a move in time too. The two helpers were very efficient and helped out a lot, we were unpacked very quickly and they were very helpful with getting my sectional couch up the tight stairwell in the apartment.
“ 5 Barb C, La Grange Highlands IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 11/27/2011 Very polite and efficient.
“ 5 Jerome J, Caledonia IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 11/17/2011 They were on time, courteous, patient and hard working. I would definitely hire them again.
“ 3 Colleen R, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 10/29/2011 They showed up on time, but they rang all of my neighbors' doorbells at 7 AM and woke all of them up so that they could be buzzed in. Tenants called the landlord, who called me. So, my neighbors already hate me and don't know me yet. One of them was very nice. The other was surly. They carried all the stuff up three flights, …read morewhich was what I paid for, so that was great, but they spoke almost no English. When it was time to call in to authorize payment for the move, my phone was out of juice. The surly guy let me use his, but I had to enter my phone number and he couldn't understand that I needed to know how to use the keypad on his phone. It was a clusterf*ck, because he kept pointing to the phone number I needed to call, and of course that wasn't the issue at all. I didn't have my charger, but my phone held together for one final phone call, so I authorized payment that way, but it was very frustrating that they couldn't really communicate with me or me with them. The movers were efficient when it came to moving stuff, but the surly guy didn't want to help me put my mirror on my dresser because they had another job to get to. The nice guy helped, which I very much appreciated. The nice guy also put my bed frame together, which was very nice of him. It was just the lack of communication that frustrated me. Otherwise it was OK. I just wish my neighbors didn't hate me already. Show Response
“ 5 Linda D, Park Ridge IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 10/18/2011 We had Jose and Jose and they were both wonderful! I'm hoping to use them again. Highly recommend them to all! thank you for being here as a last minute emergency. It was so cute, they even tried to arrange my mom's nic nacs again!.
“ 5 Jonathan S, Evanston IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 9/11/2011 The movers showed up on time (maybe even a few minutes early!). They were efficient, respectful, and most importantly clean. We unloaded the truck in record time. They couldn't get the box spring up the stairs so they quickly found a way to get it through a 2nd story window!!
“ 5 Katy K, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 8/15/2011 Coffey Bros did a fantastic job! They were extremely fast, courteous, and professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
“ 5 Karra L, Skokie IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 8/8/2011 WOW....5 star service....always and promptly returned calls, on time, were organized and worked diligently until the job was complete. Polite and kind. I am one VERY satisfied customer.
“ 1 Brandon E, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 7/26/2011 We choice Coffey Bros. Movers because of the excellent reviews, but we will never use them again or recommend them to anyone. We've used this site to book movers before and have had experienced with 5 moving companies in the last 3 years all with excellent experiences except for this team - they were nothing like what we expect…read moreed. They arrived almost 3 hours late, the owner of all people was on his cell phone most of them time, they didn't seem to know how to move furniture effectively and dropped a couple of items on the hardwood floors causing some minor damages and decided to leave earlier than the 2 hours that we had pre-booked them for. As a result, we ended up moving a good portion of the remaining items ourselves, as we were told that they would not move anything else without getting paid for more hours. We lived on the 1st story of a home and booked 2 hours for loading only. Most of the boxes were already on the lawn, they just had to move it 10 ft to the truck... no appliances, nothing heavier than a large bookcase which we advised them ahead of time. It should have been plenty of time, but they didn't work the full 2 hours and the time when they did work, it wasn't efficient... it was spent eating, talking on the cell phone and really not much else. As a basis of comparison, just a year ago, we had a moving company based out of the Chicago's suburbs who came out to help us move. With 3 hours they moved every last item out of our 3rd story Chicago apt, drove to our new place and unloaded every last item - they were on time, professional and got the job done in a reasonable time frame. With this company, 2 hours got just a little over half of our things loaded onto a truck... In addition, we are in the process of filing a police report as over $7k worth of jewelry was missing from that move. Please be watch your movers carefully and don't take anything for granted as we were preoccupied with our children outside and next thing we knew, cherished heirlooms just vanished. Thank you.

“ 5 Thomas K, Evanston IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 7/23/2011 My wife and I have used Coffey twice now, and both times they were fast, efficient and very courteous.

They called before 11, the beginning of the start time window, and told us their morning job was goi…read moreng to go a bit late. They were sure to update us again on time frame, which was greatly appreciated. We hired them to move our heavy stuff, which they wrapped to prevent breaking. They loaded up the truck we rented. They were able to fit everything in the truck with no pushing, shoving, and breaking to get it in there. After getting to our new apartment they moved everything up with no problems. It was a third story walk-up and they were even able to get our large sectional couch up a semi-narrow stairwell; no rips, or tears in it. Overall we would highly, highly, highly recommend Coffey Bros. When we move again we will use them for sure.
“ 3 Bryce D, Chicago IL reviewing Coffey Bros. Movers 7/20/2011 I hired two helpers to empty a container and bring the contents into my second floor condo. They were right on time and did the job quickly. As it was a very hot day I offered them a bottled water just in case they did not have anything. However I think my hospitality was taken advantage of as for the next two hours they conta…read moretly were asking for another bottle of water until the two of them went almost through my entire box. WHat made things worse is that instead of throwing the bottles in the recycling bin right next to where my container was they instead through them all over the garage for me to pick up later. All in all though the service was fine, they did the job. However when the job was done the younger of the two helpers just stood and stared at me asking for his tip. I thought this was very rude of him as tipping should be at my discretion however I did give him some cash. I would use this comapny again however I will not be so hospitable.

These guys were very professional and worked very hard, even carrying heavy stuff up several flights of stairs stairs on a hot Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth the money. Amazing job, guys.
