Virgil and Abril are a wonderful team to work with at our new home. From the moment they got on our property, they were ready to go and unpack our trailer. Their attitude was positive and funny. I highly recommend them for future jobs. They worked quickly and efficiently.

Alva and John were prompt and very personable. They were very efficient and about how they unpacked the POD. I appreciated their efforts.

My workers, Chris and Dot, arrived on time and worked very hard. They were respectful of our possessions and where we wanted them placed.

I found them both personable and professional. I would recommend them to anyone who wanted good movers.

Howard and Chris went above and beyond! We could not be happier. We HIGHLY recommend them for your move. So thankful for their care and attention.

Two guys showed up and did not approach the job as professionals. They went to Stewart’s while I got the moving truck instead of starting to pack. My daughter said they made a few more trips to Stewart’s and one was drinking out of a paper bag. She thinks it was alcohol because he cried to her about his marriage. $600 later and we found new movers who handily did the job without gouging on the price. The new set of movers we hired just so happens used to work Happy Hands. They said Happy Hands hires anyone off the street with zero training. That was obvious. They didn’t return our calls after the job once they were paid, they didn’t care. Horrible experience.

Marshall and Alva were punctual and a pleasure to work with. They knew all the tips to protect my furniture as well as the walls and door casings. They managed my very heavy solid wood furniture with ease.

Absolutely saved my wife and I. I hurt my back late at night and we had to return the truck next day, and they were the only company willing to come out to help us. Very kind and professional.

I had 4 helpers for 4 hours. Upon arriving 2 of the helpers smelled like weed. The leader of the group was on the phone more than moving. There was one of the 4 helpers that was a 5 star employee.

What can I say? They were absolutely a phenomenal moving team. They came on time. They were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. They got the job done and the time allotted and all of our personal things were packed very securely without any issue and they made a moving day and day without all the hassle that’s usually involved if I could, I would give a 10 star review these gentlemen went above and beyond.
