Super nice guys! They were so nice and easy going. They helped us and made the moving process so fast. I live on the third floor and they didn’t complain once. We genuinely could not have moved in without them. Thank you so so much!

Overall they did a great job. I was not fully prepared for when they arrived so that is on me. They did scratch my stair nosings pretty bad at one point to where I will need to get them replaced.

Today this team helped load a 22 foot Penske truck. They were prompt and very quick. I booked 4 helpers for 4 hours and they were done in 2. I highly recommend their services!

Very professional and very fast and efficient movers! Dan and Sam were so nice and did an excellent job! I am so happy I opted to hire local movers rather than hiring freight movers. Highly recommend!

Our movers were so helpful and respectful despite the crazy heat and stairs. They were careful of our belongings and extremely prepared to do whatever was asked of them. Would definitely recommend and use them again!!

Daniel and Samuel arrived promptly and worked very hard the entire time they were here. Although Samuel was a little new to the job, he did good work. Daniel was quite experienced and we were amazed that they were able to fit all of our furniture, boxes, etc. so compactly into the moving container. Both men were respectful of both our property and us. We would definitely use them again--highly recommended!

Eric and Daniel did a great job. Nice men and very respectful. They are just the kind of help I needed. Fast (but not haphazard), well-mannered and careful with my belongings. Thanks!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

Someone from our office will reach out within a few hours of receiving your request. If you happen to reserve Rent The Help at night, or on the weekend, someone from our office will give you a call on the next business day.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

Once your order is confirmed, you will begin to receive messages from our automated system. Prior to your move you will receive an email and text message with a link to confirm your appointment. Once you click confirm you will see pictures of your crew. On moving day our team will arrive in RTH shirts (either blue, green, or gold).

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Since customers are paying for our services on a per hour basis, we recommend being prepared when our team arrives. Upon booking you will receive moving tips that will help you prepare for your move date. The more prepared our customers are, the more efficient our team will be as they load/unload your moving truck.

What types of moves have you handled?

Rent The Help's primary focus is providing an affordable and professional solution to customers who have small moving jobs. While we can handle large jobs, our primary focus are jobs in the 2-4 hour range. Small loads, unloads, or furniture moves.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our guys love meeting new people and helping them navigate an extremely stressful time. Every day is a new adventure and we embrace that.

What training do you provide your crew members?

Every team member goes through hands-on training that requires staff to pass their training program prior to being staffed on a job. We have 3 different tiers of team members and schedule them based on the type of move/service the customer requests.
