They were just okay. Emptied out the container in a timely manner but when it came to assembling the bed they failed to follow instructions and had to be corrected on assembly.

Mover's response:
Just okay? We had a crew of 3 on your move with a combined 37 years of experience in the moving industry. I am the owner of the company and I was personally on this move. The fact that you left a 3 star review saying we needed to be corrected and failed to follow instructions on assembly is comical. The fact that you think we even need directions from you in order to assemble a bed is even funnier. After some quick math I've come to the conclusion that I've personally assembled upwards of 5k beds in my career, a career that I've done half of my life, 17 years to be exact. Do you really think we need you to tell us how to assemble beds? I have a serious question. Do you typically hire professionals and tell them how to do their job? You booked us to unload a container for your mother and then showed up 20 minutes before the job was completed and immediately started barking orders and being very disrespectful towards us. Not to mention, you gave Hireahelper/Porch Moving Group the wrong address when booking and we spent 40 minutes trying to locate your mothers residence that we did not charge you for. Keep in mind we could have charged you from the time of our arrival to the location on the work order-the same one that we confirmed with you twice with no mention of it being incorrect. I told you that we had everything under control when you arrived but you wouldn't sit back and let us finish the job. Instead, you came in and interfered with the few remaining tasks left to be completed. I know you're the kind of guy that is convinced that it wouldnt have gotten done if you wouldnt have showed up and saved the day and we have no problem letting you think that-even though thats not the case. By the way the bed would have went a lot smoother if YOU wouldn't have taken so many unnecessary things apart on the bed. It's funny how you acted towards us when YOUR loading and bed disassembly skills really showed us how much you didnt know what you were doing. Your mother on the other hand was an absolute doll and we enjoyed working with her. We just feel bad that she had you load the container instead of hiring professionals and most of her furniture was damged and many boxes were crushed as a result of your lack of experience. Thanks for the feedback, though, we know we can't please folks like you and do our best not to let reviews like this get us too down. We know we are absolutely top notch at what we do and we know we go above and beyond to exceed customer expectations. You really should learn how to lighten up, though. Also, just putting it out there that you should probably be a bit embarrassed for acting the way you did to us when we were there, especially after how you loaded that container and the way you took that bed apart. We wish you the best and hope you can get over yourself, Jonh.

I’d set our UHaul unload for Thursday but due to a change in plans we needed it moved up a day. Tony and Anessa with A Move Ahead accommodated us. They arrived right on time and went right to work. They unloaded our 26’ UHaul in just under two hours. Very respectful of our stuff as well as to us. We had a ~300# cement lined fireproof file cabinet to unload. I wasn’t sure they could get it…boy was I wrong. They did fantastic with all of our stuff and I’d highly recommend them. Five Stars!!!

Mover's response:
Thanks for the great review, Travis. We actually love when people underestimate us when they see we brought a girl! They are that much more amazed when the girl moves the 300lbs safe!

They were fast, professional and packed my truck better than I could have for the 1100 mile drive. They are worth every penny.

Mover's response:
We appreciate the review, Robert. We were happy to make it happen for you. Wheeew, that was quite a long walk with stairs but we got it done right on time, didn't we.

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.
