The crew arrived on time, worked fast and were polite. They did a great job fitting everything in the truck.

Two men, Caden and Dan I think, did a fantastic job. Carried some heavy furniture down two flights of stairs. Also packed boxes, bags, and furniture to the very lip of a 16' POD like a perfect game of Tetris.
Sanette S
Dan and Justin called and asked if they can come an hour earlier which was great and they arrived on time. They did a great job and is fast and efficient. Very glad I used them. Thanks!

Hire a Helper - I didn't have any problems with their work ethic, punctuality, or their friendliness, however, only one of the workers seemed to have a handle on how to move items. He did a good job at directing the other two, but there were two accidents that happened that need financial compensation! They dropped the bedroom armoire from the edge of the truck -it landed upside down on the driveway. Needless to say, it has scrapes, dents and one wooden foot has loosened. The other item was an antique piano bench that dropped when supporting boxes were removed. The drop completely broke one leg and it will need a new leg made and assembled. He took photos of the damage, and apologised. He also indicated that someone would be in touch with me. TO DATE: NO ONE HAS EMAILED OR PHONED TO ADDRESS THE DAMAGE. This is unacceptable. The move occurred August 20th and they've had ample time to respond and compensate. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY DAMAGES. Sincerely, Carol Kildow

The only reason this gets one star is because the younger guy did a great job and worked really hard. Were we somewhat unprepared today? Yes. Was the older guys constant complaining, condescending attitude necessary? No.
Let's put it this way, they got most of our larger items loaded, with the smaller, quiet guy doing a lot of the heavy lifting and the bigger guy *****ing about everything. We paid for 5 hours and let them go after 3. Literally the worst experience of my life.
Do yourself a favor, go to Home Depot and grab a few guys looking for day labor before you ever use this company or Hire a helper. Those guys saved our ass yesterday - after dealing with one of the worst humans I've encountered on a day when stress is already high.

I loved these guys. What workaholics! They came early because 2 of the guys finished a job early. The other 2 guys showed 20 minutes later. Both teams started working immediately. No time was ever wasted. I appreciated their knowledge, their expertise, and their can-do attitude. Their names were Carter, Ruben, Kaden, and Deion may have mis-spelled his name. In 3 months I will need the Pods unloaded, I am requesting I get the same guys! Great experience!
