Thank you so very much for your awesome help! We couldn’t have done this without the kindness and support of our movers. They were so sweet and helpful and very efficient. Rockstar guys!

This was the second time I hired this company. They showed up on time, but two of the three were grumpy and had a bad attitude from beginning to end. I had hired 4 movers but only 3 were available. Two of the 3 were new to me. Didn't introduce themselves, no clue who the crew lead was until later, etc. They grumpily packed and loaded the containers, argued frequently with how best to do it, and barely finished loading one 16 foot container. They practically ran out the door when they were done. At the beginning of the job they told me they had another job so they'd need to leave right on time. Not a minute late. So much for the extra two hours if I needed it promise.
To compare, the first crew of 4 came and packed and loaded two 16 foot containers in 3 hours. The second crew of 3 sloppily loaded one container, barely, in 4 hours. I'm rather disappointed.
To add insult to injury, several deep gouges appeared on our wood floors and doors because they did a terrible job moving the furniture. Would not hire again. Unfortunately because you can't choose what crew shows up, I wouldn't hire this company again and do not recommend. That crew that showed up did a terrible service for the company, because the first crew was a 5 star group.
One final note: when the crew arrived, our container hadn't been dropped off yet. They almost left me stranded without movers despite me telling them there was plenty of work to be done. They absolutely worked from the moment they started until they ran away at the end, and my container not being there was not the problem. Can't believe they tried to bail on me before even talking to me. My container arrived an hour and 30 mins after they got there and they were not even close to being ready to load it. Half the furniture was STILL upstairs by the time the container arrived.
After our first job with you, we were told everything that wasn't ready when we got done would be ready to go when we came back to finish. 2 days later we came to load the last pod and everything was still not ready which is why it took longer to do the job the 2nd time. You also booked this job and didn't inform us that the pod was a same day delivery so while we were waiting for the pod to get there we moved everything to your garage. The pod didn't arrive until 3hrs and 15mins after we arrived and we were able to get it packed in the last 45mins of your scheduled time. At no time was the crew going to leave you stranded and we also had called you before hand to inform you it would be a 3 man crew instead of 4 due to illness. We also made sure that you were not charged for a 4 man crew only a 3 man crew. Again everything was ready to go into the pod by the time the pod arrived onsite, also this is why both HireAHelper and our company strongly advise against same day pod delivery and load when ever possible. I'm sorry you were unhappy with the 2nd set of movers we had come but I believe everything went as best as possible within the parameters of your move.

Excellent crew. Arrived on time and were friendly, efficient, and took really good care of our furniture. They packed our containers extremely well and without leaving any gaps. We tried to get them to come help again but we were sent a different crew for the second day of moving. Thanks.
Rick B
Two gentlemen that moved our stuff were very polite, professional and efficient in moving our furniture. They took great care to ensure our stuff was not damaged or that walls, railing or flooring were not “dinged up.”
We would highly recommend Hire A Helper to move stuff in a home, especially heavier furniture.

Great guys. Checked in to see if they could show up early. Worked really hard the entire time.
Cj F
Very well organized, knowledgeable, professional, friendly and thorough. Excellent pod packers! I highly recommend them. Thanks!
Stanley F
Workers arrived on time and did an excellent job of unloading all of our furniture with no incidents.
Would highly recommend them.
Derek R
They did fine as far as I know, I wasn't there, it was at my son's residence.
Roxanne J
They were quick and efficient. I hired them for 3 hours but they completed the job in 1.5 hours. Therefore, I kind of wasted money so when hiring make sure you really need them for the length of time paid for.
