This is a difficult situation to review, as the problem stems from the fact that there are two vendors involved: Hire a Helper and Pods. Pods said I would only need two pods, Hire a Helper initially thought they would get everything into just one, but at the end of the day was unable to get everything into the two Pods. Given that the house closing was the very next day, and that the only option Pods was able to offer was for me to rent a third Pod, but they couldn't get that to me in time to matter, I was left with no options. We had to give away over $800 in good furniture away. As we are moving to Florida, hiring a U-Haul to get it there would have cost more than the furniture. So, final conclusion, either don't use Pods again, or don't use Hire a Helper, as I had no inkling this would happen to me until it was too late to do anything about it. The actual loaders were good guys, the business approach turns out to have a fatal flaw.

1. They were on time. 2. They were prepared for the job. 3. They worked hard in hot humid weather. 4. They were careful with the furniture, and they were courteous to us. 5. I did use them again, but after the second one, I doubt that I would ever recommend them for a third job. See review for that job for reasons.

Mike and Dustin did a great job. Close to immediate confirmation call after scheduling. Arrived on time. Worked professionally and steadily for the schedule time. Packed the truck well. Made sure that everyone was done to my satisfaction. I'd gladly hire them again.

The two workers (T&T) showed up in timely fashion, and pitched right in. They worked hard on a hot and muggy day, but stayed in good spirits making the whole ordeal of moving much nicer than it should be. At the end of the day I had underestimated the time required, and their boss called and helped my through the hire-a-helper phone response which I had apparently botched. Overall, I enjoyed the two young men who saved by back in such a cheerful and positive manner, and would recommend 5-star movers to anyone who needs help.,

This was a tough job. Ben and Jesse did very solid work getting everything hauled and loaded in the truck. I saved a few odds and ends for myself to load onto the truck the next day and it was very difficult. Take my advice and let the professionals load _everything_ You'll be glad you did.

showed up on time and ready to go. They got right to work readying the moving trailer for unloading. They were friendly and respectful of my new home and belongings. Despite a very warm and muggy day they worked hard and without stopping until the trailer was empty. Thirty minutes early! I would definitely use 5-Star Movers again. Thank You!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

When a customer books with 5-Star Movers, they can expect a prompt phone call to go over the details of the move, and discuss what the best options are for the customer to make the move go as smoothly as possible.

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

The customer should expect a crew that moves their items quickly and efficiently, while also being lighthearted and able to joke around with them and have fun on the moving day.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

The customer should prepare for moving day by making sure they have plenty of ratchet straps and blankets so our team can come in and make sure all of their items are packed as securely and safely as possible. If it is a larger apartment complex, we advise that they reserve a freight elevator for use during their move.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have done all types of moves from long distance full-service jobs to California, office moves, full PODs packs, and even just moving a couch around in a house. We can do it all!

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

My favorite part of being a mover is the variation in environment from day to day. Sometimes I could be working at a 8000 square foot mansion with a 6 man crew, other days I could be working at a studio apartment with one other person. Every day is truly different, and that's what makes it exciting!

What training do you provide your crew members?

Our crew members all know how to use basic tools for assembly and disassembly, they know how to use moving equipment such as dollies and shoulder straps to make the move smoother. Our experienced guys are very good at loading trucks, and show the new people how to do it so they can one day be a great loader as well. We also prioritize attention to detail and will miss out on jobs sometimes rather than ever sending a crew we don't believe is 5-Star quality.
