On time, quick and careful, pleasant. I was satisfied with their work.

HIred them to move a couple of mattresses. Turned out that I couldn't get the rental truck up our steep driveway due to snow and they pulled out a hand truck and got a king size mattress up the long steep driveway. Incredible!
Susan B
The entire process from ordering the service to the actual move was easy. Desi and James did an awesome job and clearly knew how to pack a POD! I didn't think it would all fit....but there's still room left. They were very careful with my furniture and boxes. I highly, highly recommend Handy Hands for your next move. Thank you for a job well done!

When our arrival to our new place was delayed, these guys were communicative and flexible. Even though we booked them last-minute, they arrived right when we needed them. They were prompt, they were kind, and they were STRONG. They welcomed us to the area, and they were careful with all of our things. They even found ways to avoid tracking mud from the parking lot onto the carpets without us asking. They cleared a packed moving truck in no time at all— truly they were worth every penny. Moving is always stressful, but they put us at ease with their friendly demeanor and organized manner. I’ll definitely call them again when next we move, and I would recommend them to anyone in the area.

Had a crew of four wonderful gentlemen who loaded my two 16 foot PODs in three and a half hours. I’m going to request the same crew to unload the PODs when they are delivered to my new house.
They were very flexible with scheduling, I had to postpone the first date, and ask them to come later the day before the second date. They arrived at the requested time with the tie down straps we had agreed they would provide.
They were very personable and easy to work with, from scheduling to loading. We walked through what needed to be loaded before they started, and they had me confirm all items were removed from the house and packed as I desired.
Everything was handled with care, especially my fragile items, even wrapping some better than I had initially packed them. There was no damage done to walls, floors, or items.
Would definitely recommend to anyone needing moving assistance.

James and Dot did an excellent job of moving items from a storage unit to a moving truck and then into a third-floor apartment. I will be using them in the future if any moving needs arise.

The only problem that I have is that the tv is broken. The seal at the bottom of the left-side of the screen has indentations on it.

The two helpers arrived within the scheduled hour. They did not bring a hand-truck as was requested. The work was completed quickly, as I didn't have much to move in the first place. But there was a last-minute addition to the truck. Meanwhile they'd placed my mattress up against the door (in fact, at the point I asked to have the additional item loaded, one of the helpers was holding my mattress up to keep it from falling out of the truck and onto the ground). So instead, they put the last-minute addition into their vehicle, along with a full-length mirror (they decided to do that to protect the mirror). The mirror was delivered, but the other item was not. I contacted Handy Hands about it and was told they indeed had the other item and that they would drop it off to me. That never happened, and the contact (Marshall) is now ignoring my emails. Granted, my missing property isn't worth much, and can be replaced, but if they didn't actually want to return it to me, they should at least have offered me a refund for the replacement value. Sadly, I cannot recommend Handy Hands due to this.
Denise B
They did an awesome job. Matt and Matthew worked well together put everything where it needed to go and we’re pleasant to get to know.
Rick F
The guys showed up one time and worked very hard. I would recommend them to anyone. Very happy with their work. Great communication from the owner Marshall.
