On Time, actually offered to start early if we were ready and able. Came prepared with extra moving supplies and misc items. Very friendly, quick and got the job done while being careful to not damage anything. I would recommend them for your moving needs.

They arrived early and ready for work. Needed help moving heavy items and loading a truck. Our man in charge was only 20 and they were very respectful to his instructions. They were skilled loaders which helped. I would use them again

I would like to open with a simple statement: Steve and Mario set the bar for how all moving companies should be. They were right on time, were fully loaded with supplies, worked very hard, and they took time where necessary to make sure that my property was safe and secure. I had to drive from Los Angeles to North Carolina and every piece of my property was in perfect condition when I unloaded. I would recommend this company, and especially, Steve and Mario to anyone and everyone. It is good to know that there are still good hard workers out there. Thank you very much.

We highly appreciate your great feedback. Thank you

These guys were awesome! At 7:00 my phone rang and Miguel was calling to touch base with me about the ETA- they weren't due until 10:30-11:00! I explained my POD had a window of time to be be dropped and they arrived later, right when it came actually, so as not to be sitting and on the clock- so thoughtful. Due to no space for the POD, it had to be dropped a significant distance down the street and they worked tirelessly in the heat walking back and forth unloading all my things in that 16' unit! He was, again, conscientious of the time and they finished in four hours. They never stopped for lunch, I know they were drinking water as I saw empty bottles but I never saw them pause to drink. They were true work horses. They put things together for me, and were completely courteous and careful with all my things. Highly recommend them.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to help.

Thunderhorse did a great job. This was an in place move and once our remodeling is done, we'd like to use the same guys again to move us back in to the house. That's assuming that Hire a Helper can schedule the job so that we don't get two cancellations!!

Mover's response:
Thank you for your feedback feedback. We will be looking forward to help you again.

These guys rock! We were moving from a 4 bedroom townhouse with 2 flights of stairs to a three bedroom ranch style house. They were prompt, courteous, professional and efficient. Incredible to see a well coordinated team at work. We needed them to handle moving the larger and heavier stuff my wife and I couldn't handle ourselves. They wrapped and loaded it all, filling the 17 ft. truck in 2 1/2 hours and unloaded it in 1 1/2. Even went above and beyond by taking a door off of the refrigerator, not so easy, to get it through the narrow opening into the kitchen and putting it back on again, good as new. They helped make this move a lot less stressful than trying to do it all ourselves. Would definitely hire them again and we highly recommend them. Thank you, guys.

Mover's response:
Thank you Jay! We highly appreciate your Great review!

Fantastic guys; bailed me out of a tough spot after one other company cancelled, and the replacement moving company failed to show or call. These guys showed up, looked at my stuff and my POD, and said it was an easy job. 5 hours later these two guys had practically emptied my house and completely filled the POD, working through the heat of the day to make it happen. Worth every penny. If you're thinking about booking these guys, just do it already.

Thunder horse moving arrived on time and ready to work. They had all of the materials required to pack my POD to have it moved to another state. When the POD arrived I was concerned that the items from my storage unit would not fit into the space. Jorge assured me that it would all fit and that I would have room to spare. He was right!!! It was 103 degrees and humid the day of packing and they did not stop once to take a break! I would use them again and refer them to everyone I know.

Mover's response:
Thank for taking the time to write a great review. We will be looking forward to work with you again!
