Did a wonderful job! They were running behind schedule and called to let me know when they would be arriving. Once they arrived at my house they began working immediately. Worked hard and fast. Seemed like they really knew what they were doing. Took mental notes about the items and furniture that I had before loading it to make sure they packed the truck the best way possible. Very friendly and polite. Highly recommend them

Both Kevin and John with Get A Move On did an outstanding job helping my mom move. They gave up their 4th of July holiday to work in the blazing heat. They were super efficient, extremely respectful with my mom, her belongings, and both her residences. Kevin called multiple times between accepting the job and the morning of the job, so we were never concerned that they would not show up the day of the move. Kevin gathered initial details for the move, advised of the supplies he would bring, and assured us his team would be present. They moved EVERYTHING in a single trip...including all her plants and rocks! They even hooked up ma's washer and dryer in the new place and installed a new ceiling fan for her. So, yes, they worked extremely hard and non stop. And, yes, we would use them again and recommend to anyone who needed assistance moving. We're very happy we found Get A Move On thru Hire a Helper.

The Get A Move On team did a great job moving my belongings into a storage unit. They were on time, brought extra supplies, were careful with my items, and were very efficient. I plan to hire them for my next move!

They were very flexible. I needed to move 2 days early and they were able to reschedule for me. An hour before they were to show up for the rescheduled time we found out our truck was not returned and had to put the loaders on hold until we could figure out our truck issue. We finally got a truck the next day. With very little notice, they squeezed my job in around their other jobs that evening.
I have never seen 2 more hardworking men in my life. Four straight hours of work with the occasional stop for a drink of water or to measure a piece of furniture to find the perfect fit.
Everything fit on my truck and everything made it to the new location in the same condition it was put on in. They brought rope to tie the load, loaned us tools to take a crib apart while they worked on heavier things, brought free plastic wrap to wrap dressers so drawers stayed closed. They called next day to check on how the load made it.
Very impressed with the work they did. Would hire again if I were still in the area. Recommending to all of my military friends that are always on the move.

Kevin McMillan with Get a Move on is wonderful. He is kind and hard working. This is the second time I've used him to help me move.

4.5 stars is more accurate, but I rounded up. Lots of good things to say about Kevin and his helper: they were on time, they were prepared for the job, they brought their own equipment (pads, etc.), they respected my property and I would use them again.

I was a little annoyed that on the loading part I made more trips up and down the stairs than Kevin. My thought was that since I'm in my seventh decade of life, the plan should be executed to have others running the stairs more than me. However, Kevin was supervising the fitting of the "stuff" into the truck, and he did a superior job since it all fit and only one thing was broken. Very likely I do not understand the complexity of the "measuring" part of the job.

In the end, I got a great work-out, and the move was accomplished successfully and inexpensively.

Kevin is also to be complimented for his extensive vocabulary! (I'm not joking, and I'm not referring to profanity.) So, moving and English lessons, what more could you ask?

Mover's response:
Greetings Bruce and thank you for the review. We never ask or even expect customers to participate on a moving job. Your son in law and yourself did it voluntarily and it was greatly appreciated . After getting the major pieces in I do need to wrap n pad for transport .With 3 people bringing me boxes , etc. I tried to keep the job flowing. As to the bottom of your lamp it was secure when I loaded it. With 4 people unloading I didn't see how it got damaged but will gladly reimburse you.Call me :.
