Mike and Justin had finished their earlier job sooner than expected so were able to come assist me a little earlier than scheduled.

They were timely, polite and friendly.
They worked with me to make certain my more fragile family heirlooms were packed properly and well protected. They also made some adjustments for me when I brought out some last minute "packed" items! They took it all in stride and rearranged a few things to accommodate my "here take this…" items!!!!

I would highly recommend Helpful Movers to anyone needing a little help with boxes (like my move) or a whole house move. Polite, Professional, Personable. Jodie. -Gig Harbor

Et al:

Both Workers showed up promptly on the agreed on time; the move was sucessfully completed without incident. They were very careful and had a great attitude; could not ask for any better.

They arrived a few minutes early.
After a walk-through, they went right to work.
They worked amazingly well, and proficiently.

They were careful, friendly and polite.

A final walk-through was performed and they very politely checked to be sure I had remembered everything.

I am very happy with the work they did, and would recommend them to others.

Obviously I will know better the quality of job they did when the Pod is unloaded at its destination.

They were great! Arrived early, finished loading in 2.5 hours, and we’re very respectful of our things. My one complaint is that they didn’t wear masks inside, but we did so felt mostly fine.

The two gentlemen did an outstanding job for us. I would like to request their return on September 7th, same location, to empty the contents of the POD back into the house.

Excellent and most professional work.

Many Thanks,
James Dwight

Movers spent too much time on their phones, thus wasting much of the moving window. They carelessly scratched our hardwood floors when moving a large item. They did not pack the pod in a space efficient manner. Worst move I’ve experienced. Would not recommend.

I hired two helpers for 4 hours to move 2 bedroom home from storage unit to a second floor apartment. They got it done in the time I requested and paid for. They didn't go over. They where able to get everything in the truck that I was able to purchase. They did everything in a timely manner they took very good care of covering all my items that needed to be covered and they packed everything very well. Nothing got broken. They did a fantastic job! They even help me place the furniture where it needed to go. The two men that I ordered for the job was very professional and very kind. I recommend hire a helper for anyone out there that's looking to move that needs a little extra help. They where affordable and me being a single mom definitely helped take a lot of stress off of me and if I ever move again I will use hire-a-helper again. Thanks for a job well done.

Great service from Helpful Movers today. The "J's" were stellar, helpful, professional, and knew what they were doing. No damage (they wrapped everything) and packed the truck tightly with extra room. Finished and arrived on time. Bottom line: would use this service again!
