The 2 very courteous young men arrived a few minutes early, were very business-like but polite, extremely respectful of my belongings, firmly secured the loaded items, finished before the 2 hours allotted, and treated me like a favorite great aunt. A very good experience for what I anticipated to be a stressful process.

Aaron and Jarrod did a great job! I could not have had an easier or better time having everything moved in. I highly recommend them for any type of move!

Both Carter and Trevor were very pleasant and hard working. They got the job done quickly and packed the pod completely.

I booked time with Helpful Movers with less than 24 hours to go and was glad to hear back from them less than an hour later. Carter and Trevor arrived here right on time and they were amazingly speedy. They had a clear plan for how they were going to tackle the job once they knew what needed moving. This was a within the house move and they were careful to make sure that the big items didn't bump and scratch walls.
I not only recommend Helpful Movers but will depend on them again if I need help.
Friendly, professional and efficient. Everything you would want in a pinch.

I could not have unloaded my 7x7 POD alone, so I needed help. My POD arrived a day late. Hire A Helper was able to adjust and provide me with two helpers on very short notice! The helpers who arrived were professional and strong. They were very courteous. I highly recommend this company if you are on a tight schedule and need help!

Helpful Movers was extremely professional, efficient, and flexible on meeting the needs of my pack and move. This was not a small job...it required approximately 40 hours of work to pack up the entire house/garage and then pack everything into PODs. The crew was a well oiled machine, each person working diligently and efficiently. They didn't waste any time, even during lunch they only took a 10-15 break. They were respectful of our goods and were mindful of our walls as they were moving furniture down two flights of stairs. I was HIGHLY impressed with their ability to maximize the space within the POD. I would strongly recommend Helpful Movers and I would personally use them again in a heartbeat!

They showed up on time but they were in a hurry to leave, scratched my walls. Tracked water and dirt into the house. Threw torn cardboard and plastic on the lawn and left it there. Damaged an expensive piece of furniture and bragged about smoking marijuana. I would never use your services again

Mover's response:
Craig I'm sorry but I was actually there on the jobsite the whole time, there was no damage to the walls done by us there were 2 marks on the stairway wall that were very obviously there prior to us even coming they were faded and not new marks. I personally pulled the rugs that you used for flooring into your garage, as far as the paper and plastic that you had used on your furniture when I asked you about it you said you were going to take care of it. I'm sorry if you were disappointed with our service but I think you were actually more mad about your bedroom set not fitting upstairs even though before we tried to bring it up we had warned you that it wasn't going to fit. Hopefully you have a better experience with your next company.
