Best experience from this HireAhelper . This was my third use of HireAhelper in 3 different states . They came right on time & left getting done on time without taking more time & added payment . Surprisingly all the three move I compared are indentical with similar stuffs and load. I would use them again without any reservation .

Mover's response:
I tell ya, if I had a dollar every time I've heard this, I'd be a rich man! But, seriously, we really appreciate your words. We set out everyday, aiming to provide service like the service mentioned. So, it's great when people feel the need to tell everybody!! Also like to point out that the same man and woman that took 3 hours to load Cathy C.'s belongings on the 2 star review below this one completed this job as well as the last 4 reviewed jobs.....

The team (man and woman) arrived right on time. They worked tirelessly for the entire two hours (plus a few minutes) hauling heavy furniture up stairs and completely emptying a full 26 foot box truck. They both were completely professional and took care with my stuff. I wish they were in Palm Coast so they could help me finish packing my house there!!!

Mover's response:
I'm glad you were happy with the service that was provided. I'd like to point out that it was the same man and woman who preformed the previous 2 star rated move below. I'm glad she and I were able to move all those expensive heavy dressers upstairs for you and that it didn't take any extra time being that I brought a woman and all. LOL.

Sent a man and women to move a four bedroom home, didn't bring any ropes, dropped and ruined an oak table and made remarks that it was my fault for "not having enough blankets" therefore my fault it scratched to heck when they dropped it off the truck. I believe if they had sent to men to do the job I would not have had to pay for an additional hour. It was only a 20' truck but took them three hours. Not impressed.

Mover's response:
While accidents happen, that is what insurance is for, I simply stated not having sufficient coverings for furnishings usually voids liability. Being that you provided a 20 ft. truck & 12 blankets to move a 4 bedroom home, it took extra time to pack your items safely into the truck. This company was started by a man & a woman & we are present on a lot of our moves. I highly doubt you're poor experience had anything to do with gender & more to do with not having proper supplies and correct truck size. There are literally hundreds of reviews on this very list with customers who had much bigger, much more complex moves than yours, who had a wonderful experience. Now on the same note there are only a handful of customers who had a poor experience like yours and the common denominator in all of these moves is that the ones who prepared and had proper truck size and moving supplies (ie blankets,rope,plastic wrap) had a good experience vs the ones who did not have correct truck or supplies having a 1-2 star experience. Now I'm just shooting in the dark here but if the movers were the same movers but only the scenario and circumstances changed....well you get the picture.

Great workers. Took their time and made sure everything was taken care off.

We are ranked HireAHelper's 3rd best in overall performance in Central Florida and are now ranked 23rd nationwide, I'd say 23rd nation wide is pretty darn good.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking with us you can expect a phone call from our offices just to reach out and get a feel for your unique situation. We will go over all needed supplies and firm up all the details.

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

Upon moving day you will receive a call from your movers within an hour of your booked arrival window. The movers will reach out just to make sure everything is still going according to plan and will give you their expected GPS arrival time. We know that nothing is more stressful than being nervous that the movers aren't gonna show up, so we like to put your mind at ease.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

If you will be hiring us to load your rental truck, trailer or portable shipping container it is imperative that you provide an adequate amount of moving blankets, plastic stretch wrap and rope to avoid serious damage to your items. The blankets can usually be rented with your truck or portable shipping container and are worth every penny. We can provide rope and plastic wrap for an additional fee or it can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot in the moving supplies section.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have handled literally every type of move from local to long distance, from household to office/commercial. We have handled everything from medical equipment to flight simulators and we are equipped to move large items such as pianos and grand pianos.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part about being movers is that we get to help someone with literally the hardest and most stressful task of their adult life.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our crew leaders are required to have a minimum of 4 years professional moving experience and upon hire, undergo at least 2 weeks of training with the owner of the company (a very particular veteran mover in the industry) before being set free to operate independently. All crew members undergo the same training and we typically only hire crew members who possess at least 2 years minimum professional moving experience. We don't send rookies, period.
