They finished the job in two hours and it would’ve taken me about 5 so I am so grateful for their hard work!!

Q's Moving Corp Profile Image

They were on time and prepared. Some of my stuff got pretty banged up, but the really expensive stuff made the trip undamaged for the most part. I have a small wood table that was placed sideways on the street and sidewalk, badly damaging the finish. I worked with them, so we were done really fast. I think there is a bit of misunderstanding between hire-a-helper and the moving companies. The hours and people allotted for my move were based on my move being from one apartment to another apartment, so not a lot of stuff. But someone at Q's Moving called and said I had too much stuff and too many stairs so the move would probably last 6 hours and need 3 men. I think they need to sort out that aspect a bit better because my budget was based on the 2+ hours estimated by Hire-a-Helper. Being told it could be as many as 6 hours was discouraging and frustrating.

Chris & Thomas were on time, fast, ultra professional and did an AMAZING job. If there was an option for 10 stars I'd give them 11. My pieces were heavy, large, awkward and had to go up old narrow stairs. They handled all of my things with care, and I was impressed. I am an exceptionally happy customer, and this service will get my repeat business in the future. Great job!!!

Our movers were the best! I was quite stressed the day of the move and they told me to relax while they handled it. They did a wonderful job of fitting all of our stuff in the truck during the time window I hired them for and everything arrived safely after a (bumpy) 1300 mile drive!

The service was fantastic. I called at 7:30 in the morning not thinking anyone would be able to help me. And Kirk hook me up with two of the best movers I’ve seen: Courtney and eric. They were courteous, helpful, and very fast. Very, very careful with all of my stuff. You won’t go wrong with these guys.

Anthony and Jaiden were phenomenal! Their care and patience, were only matched by their kindness and compassion. Anthony is a wealth of knowledge, we wish they could move with us… or at least help us drive across the country! There aren’t enough words of appreciation. If you need someone to help you move, Anthony is your Man!
