When our arrival to our new place was delayed, these guys were communicative and flexible. Even though we booked them last-minute, they arrived right when we needed them. They were prompt, they were kind, and they were STRONG. They welcomed us to the area, and they were careful with all of our things. They even found ways to avoid tracking mud from the parking lot onto the carpets without us asking. They cleared a packed moving truck in no time at all— truly they were worth every penny. Moving is always stressful, but they put us at ease with their friendly demeanor and organized manner. I’ll definitely call them again when next we move, and I would recommend them to anyone in the area.

Had a crew of four wonderful gentlemen who loaded my two 16 foot PODs in three and a half hours. I’m going to request the same crew to unload the PODs when they are delivered to my new house.

They were very flexible with scheduling, I had to postpone the first date, and ask them to come later the day before the second date. They arrived at the requested time with the tie down straps we had agreed they would provide.

They were very personable and easy to work with, from scheduling to loading. We walked through what needed to be loaded before they started, and they had me confirm all items were removed from the house and packed as I desired.

Everything was handled with care, especially my fragile items, even wrapping some better than I had initially packed them. There was no damage done to walls, floors, or items.

Would definitely recommend to anyone needing moving assistance.

James and Dot did an excellent job of moving items from a storage unit to a moving truck and then into a third-floor apartment. I will be using them in the future if any moving needs arise.

The only problem that I have is that the tv is broken. The seal at the bottom of the left-side of the screen has indentations on it.

The two helpers arrived within the scheduled hour. They did not bring a hand-truck as was requested. The work was completed quickly, as I didn't have much to move in the first place. But there was a last-minute addition to the truck. Meanwhile they'd placed my mattress up against the door (in fact, at the point I asked to have the additional item loaded, one of the helpers was holding my mattress up to keep it from falling out of the truck and onto the ground). So instead, they put the last-minute addition into their vehicle, along with a full-length mirror (they decided to do that to protect the mirror). The mirror was delivered, but the other item was not. I contacted Handy Hands about it and was told they indeed had the other item and that they would drop it off to me. That never happened, and the contact (Marshall) is now ignoring my emails. Granted, my missing property isn't worth much, and can be replaced, but if they didn't actually want to return it to me, they should at least have offered me a refund for the replacement value. Sadly, I cannot recommend Handy Hands due to this.

Mover's response:
Please see our other reviews. The missing items was a box of empty broken down boxes that was overlooked. I made contact with the customer and the crew was supposed to have dropped it off which I apologize that didn’t happen. Since then I was out of touch due to an emergency but have agreed to refund the customer. Thank you for choosing us for your moving needs.

They did an awesome job. Matt and Matthew worked well together put everything where it needed to go and we’re pleasant to get to know.

The guys showed up one time and worked very hard. I would recommend them to anyone. Very happy with their work. Great communication from the owner Marshall.

Alva and Clayton were AWESOME. I can't believe how friendly and professional they were. They moved couches, futons, and some really heavy items without complaint and they loaded and packed the trailer perfectly. Way better than I could have done myself. Very skilled and very professional. I highly recommend this team and I will definitely be calling them for the second and third stages of our move.
