Marshall and Harvey were absolutely amazing! I have already recommended them and this company to two people moving in the future. They were on time, kind, and super hard workers. We were thrilled with them!

Harvey and Jimmy showed up on time and went right to work. They wasted no time nor space in the POD they were loading. They were pleasant to work with and professional in every way.

Hire a Helper finds you help via contractors in your area. The first crew they contracted for us canceled last minute and the contractor's company was not helpful in finding a solution. I called Hire a Helper directly and they found us a new contract crew short notice and they were AMAZING!!! Highly recommend this service!

As a military veteran and the child of a career army officer I have moved tens of times. These are by far the best movers I’ve ever had. Thoughtful, considerate, hard-working, personable, flexible, and very, very smart. Thank you for an easy peasy move! If I could take them with me to Tennessee to have them unload, I would certainly do it!!!

Mike & Rick we’re on time this morning ready to go. They were both professional, communicated clearly with my Wife & I if anything was needed, and we’re extremely efficient. Moving day is stressful, and Mike & Rick made it so much easier for us.

Thank you to both Mike & Rick for all of their help. My Wife and I highly recommend them.

One of the helpers was rude combative. He broke one of my statues and wanted to brush off the fact by calling me and a freeloader. He hid the evidence instead of showing me that the damage had already been done. I was very upset and disappointed.

The Crew consisting of Dot (Harold), Chris, Eddie, and “L” (Leonard) were on time, polite, respectful and worked extremely hard. My wife and I would highly recommend this service! We would definitely use them again!
