They were amazing. You should take these guys off the line and move them to corporate. Then they could teach others how it's done right

Ok I will start using their bullit points: Were they on time, yes. Were they prepared for the job, yes. Did they work hard, yes. Were they respectful of your property, yes. I would definitely use this service again, and Mark and Justine were the best! Weird to get so excited over movers, but these guys were awesome. Long story short, I waited to the last minute, 12 am in the morning on day of move to call them. They fit me in on very short notice, and got the job done. Thanks again so so much Mark and Justine. You are the best.

Movers were hard workers. They did a good job. We felt we were overcharged for a piano service when we had a professional driver there.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the feedback Morris. Just to address the Piano issue, you were only charged for moving 2 uprights and you actually had 2 Baby Grand Pianos. Technically we were not even supposed to move those and that is by rule of Hireahelper. You were only charged a $300 fee total for moving them when it would have actually ran you alot more had you been billed for Baby Grands. Also you never disclosed that you had piano's in your unload and as one professional company to another it seemed that w

These guys are terrific! I'm not much for leaving reviews unless I've had above & beyond excellent service. James, the owner, showed up to do a walk through with me, and this after a few frantic phone calls I made to him concerned about my items, logistics, etc. James was understanding and professional and genuinely concerned with helping me throughout the entire process! His crew was awesome - arrived on time, listened to everything I voiced concerns about throughout the packing of the POD, helped me any time I needed it, continually offered "just ask & we'll move it for you" including a few heavy boxes into my RV. They were dressed clean, there was no smoking nor even smoker smell, and Dave did a phenomenal job packing the POD tight. And extra care was given to my precious piano that was my mother's she bought in the early 60s. Mark & Justin were extremely careful with my items and walls and doors. They moved along at a quick pace, too. Moving is just stressful and chaotic by nature let alone in my situation (being forced to move), and James & his crew are who I will call with any future moves (like unloading when I find a home). I highly recommend Helpful Movers!

I asked for 3 Helpful Movers, anticipating they could unload my PackRat container in around 2 hrs. They moved all in good time, exactly where I asked. Highly recommend them for any unloading you need. I suspect they can pack well too but can't rate that for me. Will definitely keep their info handy for future needs.
