They showed up on time and we're friendly. They did NOT take good care of my household goods. They failed to wrap a wood leaf for my dining table and it is rubbed completely through the finish in two places. They failed to protect the base of a wooden mirrored cabinet and it is badly marred and dented. They offered to pack some expensive Bose stereo equipment for which I had saved the original box. I allowed them to pack it but asked them to use the box which was sitting next to the equipment, and said if they had any trouble figuring it out to ask me. They said it wouldn't be a problem, they could figure it out. What they did was to take out and tear up the specifically shaped Styrofoam packing, and jam the speakers all in together with a bunch of other equipment, and to raise the flaps up and sort of tape the flaps up over the top of the what looks like the very large sub-woofer from another system. The sub-woofer must be on top of the other speakers and who knows what else. I haven't been able to dig my way back to that box yet to find out what it looks like. (Of note, I had plenty of extra boxes and packing material. There was NO need to scrimp.) I haven't had time to unwrap all of the furniture they did wrap yet so I don't know all of the results yet. They at first said the truck I rented was plenty big, and then right at the end of the day said they couldn't fit it all in and I'd have to leave some things behind. I'm going back this weekend to get the rest of the stuff, and making the 11 hour drive again. Finally, during the day-before-the-move phone call, Jorge talked me into a fourth person, whom I paid for separately, saying this guy really needed the work. I think the fourth person had zero experience and while he worked hard, did not understand what was going on. He is the one who "packed" the speakers and destroyed the box. I would not hire Thunderhorse, nor will I likely use Hire-a-Helper again.

The thunderhorse team was amazing and I would highly recommend them! We had to load a 40' shipping container and they loaded it efficiently and under a time constraint. All 5 guys were hard workers and had great attitudes. They arrived right on time as well. Really appreciate all they did

They were on time and came prepared to do the job which involved bringing an extension ladder. These helpers are also available to do much more than just moving furniture. In our case they were able to remove all the boxes in the rafters of the garage. They were respectful of the property and we would definitely use them again.

Jorge and his team are truly the best movers you could hire! They showed up a few minutes late due to traffic (he called to let me know), but they really dug in when they arrived. They carefully wrapped all of our furniture. They loaded out our PODS like tetris wizards. Good attitude and work ethic all-around. I would NOT hesitate to hire Jorge.

Jorge and his guy were great! They were on time, jumped right into the job (unloading 2 big Pods). They had doilies and a hand truck and plenty of shrink wrap etc. Some of the pieces were quite heavy and had to go up on a second floor, and they did great, not scratching the floor or banging up the walls. This is the 2nd time I've used them, and would highly recommend Jorge and Thunderhorse.
