James communicated with me three hours before his crews arrived, when they were in route and upon arrival. The movers were courteous and very professional. They worked very hard and took extra caution with moving my furniture. They were extremely respectful of the property and my furniture. The process was flawless from scheduling the move through completion of the move. Communication was Top Notch with this company. Thanks American Movers & Hire a Helper for your phenomenal service! I will use this company for all future family moves. I recommend this company/service to anyone looking for Outstanding professional movers. Can’t thank you enough! Joy Murray Roanoke, VA

Real Advice from Forest Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Forest. (They’re really nice!)

"There aren't very many spaces to park a 26' box truck in downtown Lynchburg. If your move is large enough, I would suggest using a smaller truck and doing multiple trips if moving locally. If a 26' truck has to be used, you may need a temporary permit to avoid getting a ticket or fine."
