I rated this review 5 Stars only because there isn't a 10 Star rating. Mike and Matt are the hardest working guys I've ever seen in the business. On time as requested and completed my moving job in 2 amazing hours. Even though they worked at a remarkable speed they used extreme care in handling a house full of family heirlooms and antiques. Every item was cushioned and covered and made the 170 mile trip to our house without a scratch. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone in need of moving professionals.

The men were on time and prepared to do the job. They did what I asked them to do. The men were knowledgable about furniture. Some was taken a part and then put together. They were careful with my property and goods. I would use them again!

My move from Boston to Albany was full of hiccups that were out of my control - it became apparent I wasn't going to meet my 5-6 arrival time as I had originally requested of Handy Hands, and when I contacted Marshall at Handy Hands, to let him know it was going to be closer to 7 p.m. or later, he was completely flexible and understanding. It was a horribly hot and sticky night and the 2 man Handy Hands crew soldiered through, carrying a number of cumbersome pieces of furniture and innumerable boxes and odd pieces to the second floor of a 90 year old home. The only damage was a pretty good ding in the hallway wall but my landlord assured me a little spackle and paint would fix it right up...every move has an oops. I'd readily recommend Handy Hands.

Our helpers were the best! Polite, professional and very careful maneuvering around our artwork. Thanks so much for your expertise.

They were on time and did a good job. They were gentlemen and moved our furniture without damage.

Mike and Marshall were not only hard workers, but they also had a great sense of humor which made a hard day a lot easier. I double highly recommend these guys!

Handy Hands helped us to move on Sunday. They arrived on time, and were prepared for the job. Marshall phoned me twice beforehand to make sure that he knew what to expect and so did I. They worked hard and did so thoughtfully; they made suggestions re: how to balance light and heavier objects and furniture. They worked very hard to try to bring an antique dining room set that's been in the family up the curved staircase in our Victorian house, to no avail. They tried moving it in multiple ways, and expressed their sadness when it simply couldn't make it. I would use them again--no question. They were fair, careful, strong and kind.

Workers were very hard working and helpful. My only complaint is that they started 40 minutes late due to a different job that ran late apparently. They did not have any tools or even a dolly and that would have been helpful for them I believe. Because they started late we were not able to borrow a dolly to help them out because the storage facility people had gone home at 5pm (they started at 4:40pm).
