Handy Hands Labor was fantastic. Their two employees showed up at the promised time, were hardworking, and took the necessary care to avoid damaging anything as they moved the contents of 4 U-Haul U-Pack boxes into my house. They even put together the king size bed frame. All in three hours. As I have just moved to the area, they are now my go to guys.

They arrived on time and ready to work. We hired 3 different moving companies for our move and they were the best of the three.

These guys were fantastic!! We hired 4 movers for four hours and they worked so hard (in the heat) to get our tractor trailer loaded. They were Tetris masters and I'm amazed at how much they were able to fit into the trailer. They came on time, were able to handle our heavy furniture and treadmill and were very respectful of all our belongings. We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

The movers were incredible. They turned what would've been a very stressful day into a breeze. They worked hard and were careful with everything I owned, ensuring no damage. I especially appreciated them waiting with me when the POD I was loading didn't show up. It seemed like the day was lost, and I wouldn't have been surprised if they had left right then, but they waited for an hour and a half until it finally showed up. Couldn't recommend them more highly, they were great.

Good communication after taking on the job on accepting it and ETA and then again a day prior to the job. Although they were courteous but were not well prepared for the job. They did not have ropes/ belts to secure the objects. While they did well with stacking the objects they did not secure them well despite us providing them with equipment to do so. It resulted in broken book shelf, broken dining table chair, scratches and dents on washer/ dryer and boxes were compressed too. Still unpacking so not sure if any more damage.

Mover's response:
As stated to the customer upon confirming the job we provide labor only. If things are needed such as rope and/blankets the customer is responsible for that or they can have it added to the order at an additional cost. Please refer to our other reviews as this is not a fair review as we provided the service that was stated.

Came out of their way last minute. They were early, eager, worked hard, and didn't give me any issues. I would highly recommend them!
