John and Jared were very responsive and professional. We had a scratch on our wood floor but it may be able to be buffed out.

We had the privilege of having of having Carter & John help us move. They arrived a few minutes early, ready to work, and required little directions. They both worked very hard, were respectful, courteous, and even had fun, cracking a few jokes to keep the move as stress free as possible. I offered to pay them to during their lunch break, and they even had a hard time sitting down, between loads to enjoy their lunch. They did not take any other breaks, even to smoke, which I greatly appreciated! Nothing was broken, there was only a small dent in the wall, hardly noticeable, and they told me right away, instead of trying to hide it or get away with it! I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Although I do not plan on moving anytime soon, I will recommend them to family and friends.

Everyone at Hire A Helper was awesome. Polite, courteous, hardworking and the bright light in my moving experience. They worked around an issue I had with POD's and fit me in the very next day. 5 stars all around!

Justin and Jared loaded our POD for us and they did an excellent job. Their morning job ran long, but I got a call before their scheduled arrival time letting me know they were running late and they arrived at precisely the rearranged time. They worked very efficiently, were polite, and handled our things with care. I would definitely use this company again.

I needed last minute movers to unpack a pod and move everything into storage due to an issue with a moving company. Within 20 minutes of making a request online (while continuing to make calls), I had a reply that movers would be available soon. Within an hour I had movers at my house ready to take on a big task. They also finished in 3 hours. I was over the moon that my bad day turned around due to these amazing movers.
