Mover's response:
Mr. and Mrs. Abbott,

My sons and I enjoyed moving you (except for my sons spill off of the back of the truck!), and we are very grateful for your business! I wish you both the best, and hope that you will enjoy your new home. Please let us know when you are ready to move the second bedroom furniture, and we will stop by the next time that we are in Champaign. Take care!

Doug and his crew were on time, worked hard, and finished ahead of the 4 hours we allotted. They were professional, friendly, polite and very helpful in placing furniture and boxes where we asked. We will use them again if needed and highly recommend them. We've moved several times with hired help and Melancon is by far the best crew we've worked with!

Mover's response:
Mrs. Evans,

Thank you for the good review. It was a pleasure working with you, and your husband! Enjoy your new home!

Showed up on time as scheduled. We unlisted help at the very last minute and Melancon proved themselves good. Finished in great time, before the rain and treated everything as if it was theirs. Great Job!!!! Would hire them again.

These guys were great. They were on time, completely prepared for the job, and worked their butts off. It's always nice to hire a local business and this group had a great work ethic.

They were extremely respectful of our property, and handled it with care. I would definitely use them again, and I'd strongly recommend them to others.

I used "Hire a Helper" to help me move items from my 3rd floor to a storage unit and basement. I found the process very easy, the individuals that came to work for me were very courteous and hard working. They never complained about going up and down 3 flights of stairs and did not take any unnecessary breaks.
They finished the job on time and the cost was very reasonable. I would diffently use this service again!
