I am new in town and needed last minute help unloading my moving truck. I found Helpful Movers through Higher a Helper and they are fantastic. My two movers, Mark and Jarad, kept me informed of their arrival time, were very polite, friendly, professional, and handled my boxes/furniture with care. I will definitely be using Helpful Movers with my next move.

Showed up on time. Made a noticeable effort to be careful of our nicer furniture. Excellent price for the work that they did. I was a little nervous because of how low the estimate was for 4 guys for 5 hours. They packed the truck like a pro and used every inch of space. They complained about having to carry a larger piece of furniture up the stairs. I insisted that they do so they buy and they reluctantly agreed. That was kind of annoying but at the same time I understood. I appreciated that they actually did it. Two of the workers were extremely professional and heavy lifters, you could tell they knew what they were doing. The other 2 pulled their weight but required a little more motivation from the more senior guys. I definitely received the value of the money I paid. I would hire these guys again.

Completely professional, on-time, and finished early. They paid exact attention to what should be moved, and they gave careful attention to the furniture. I would highly recommend Hire-a-Helper.

Helpful Movers did a GREAT JOB. The team called before arrival, which meshed perfectly with our PODS delivery and our proximity to the move-in site. They were polite and very hard-working with no breaks in their effort. Our items were handled carefully with no damage to them or the walls & doorframes in our new condo. Very glad we picked them for the PODS loading and unloading. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The men were great. My only comment would be they needed to pay more attention to what I said. Basically everything that was to be moved was in one place. They went beyond and put some things in the truck or in the pod that we had to take back out. They also missed some pictures that needed to be wrapped and put in.
There also was a picture knocked off the wall, I have contacted the insurance people but have not yet heard back. All in all we are very satisfied and we would use you again In a heartbeat. Thank you
