Trying to be as generous as I possibly can be during this review.
Got off to a late start - scheduled at 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM CST arrival - they did call to advise being late but showed up and got started moving at 11:00 AM CST.
The previous day to the helpers arriving, I personally loaded and moved nearly all the boxes out of the residence myself. The bedrooms were primarily cleared with the exception of some desk pieces and empty (inexpensive type) book cases. The furniture that remained was in the family room and master bedroom - only.
They worked hard in preparing, loading and unloading the 16' truck. I was advised Budget Truck rental that they reserve their 25'+ trucks for commercial business - not private use. I had hoped for 2 runs, one from my residence and another from the storage facility in the 5 hours I allocated - nope! One run with a refrigerator and washer/dryer and some furniture to the house 30 miles away - they stopped for a 30 minute lunch. After unloading - they were through for the day. They figured that was 5 hours.
Since I had the truck for 3 days, the following day, I loaded 2/3 of the storage facility (10 x 30) by myself and they called later in the afternoon. They were willing to help unload the truck at the new residence but wanted additional funds for a minimum of 2 hours. They wanted to be paid in cash - only.
Along for the ride during both times was one of the movers senior (73 year old) father that needed to be occasionally checked. He was fine and very appreciative of the air conditioning and a seat - if one was available during the move.
I eventually followed up by getting a 12' truck and moving the remaining 1/3 of the storage facility myself. While the help was certainly needed and appreciated - it was anything but inexpensive - it adds up fast in to the hundreds of dollars - quickly. End result was I had to pack the storage facility myself even though I paid for he assistance to get one load unloaded - and had to follow up with another truck rental to get the storage facility finally moved out to the new residence - this I did myself.
By all means - compare - what it would cost to get a 2+ man crew and truck to do the moving vs. renting your own truck and then paying helpers by the hour. Especially, compare 'additional' hours costs! Also, get some touch up paint for the door sills, the dolly wheels can wreak havoc with them.

Tony and Gwen were amazing. They did a great job carefully assessing and packing everything with care. The unloading went smoothly. Best move I’ve ever had, and I have had a lot. I will be using them again. Highest recommendation.
Constance R

Wiliam Y
Did a very good job i would recommend them
Conley B
Above and beyond. Despite random obstacles Reese came up to bat and pretty well did my entire one bedroom apartment by himself in two hours. Absolutely stunning.

I needed to move items from my house to a storage place. Once I contracted them via Hire-a-Helper, the team (Tony and Gwendolyn) immediately contacted me to get details about the move, so that they could be better prepared. This was fantastic, as it helped us to coordinate in advance. This was especially appreciated.
They were on-time, well-prepared, and ready to work! They did a lot of packing that I had planned do do in advance, but could not due to an injured arm. They labeled all of the boxes without any prompting from me.
At the storage place, I actually have 2 adjacent units, and wanted some items in one unit and some in the other. I communicated the specific arrangement, and they ensured that this was done - no hassles and no issues. Just efficient and friendly.
Something to consider when you are shopping for movers on this site - or any other site:
1. Tony and Gwendolyn have worked together for years, and this joint experience made everything go faster and smoother. They worked well together as a team.
2. They clearly care about your exact needs, and will communicate in advance, and in detail, so that you don't get surprised by incorrect assumptions. They know the questions to ask (e.g. does your truck have a loading ramp? Do you need pads for the furniture).
3. They are extremely friendly! It was a pleasure to have them for this move!
I still have a few items left to move, and those items were not ready at the time of this move. I am getting those ready, and hope that Tony and Gwendolyn will be free to do that move as well!
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this team. I have full confidence that they would ALWAYS do a good job, whatever the job.
Thank you so much for your detailed and well thought out review! We really enjoyed working with you as well and look forward to taking care of the rest of your move at your convenience. Thank you again for the positive feedback! We always try to do our best to create a positive stress free experience for our customers on every job!
