The guys arrived on time and ready to work. They were friendly and courteous asking where to place everything. They took great care of my household goods treating them as if they owned them. They were very professional and hard workers. I would definitely use their help again and recommend them to anyone.

A number of my boxes and plastic tubs were damaged when I unpacked later in the day. They didn’t take account of what was in certain boxes and seemed to stack the heaviest stuff on top of the lightest. Fortunately nothing inside was damaged, but I’ll need to get new storage tubs. The second guy was also late by about 30 minutes, but I was told they start billing as soon as the first guy arrives. They were the cheapest and I can see why.

15 min late. Yes, prepared to do the job. They were respectful of property. Had a strange load which they handled well. 3 workers for 3 hours. 1 broken table stand for machine (its ok but nobody said anything about it. I am worried about a machine falling.

The movers were very knowledgeable and knew exactly what had to be done. Once they arrived the movers immediately inspected, thought of their plan and began to work. They were really friendly and courteous. If we could have them both help us move into our new home here in California would definitely recommend them. Want to thank the movers for their help and quick move within the 2 hours we requested. All of our furnitures and belongings were securely and safely put into our POD storage unit. Once again, thank you.

The workers were scheduled to remove furniture to garage/living room for upstairs carpet installation and to replace the furniture a few days later. We had (2) separate work teams who called ahead to let me know when they would be arriving. They were respectful of the contracted time and worked carefully and efficiently. At the end, each team confirmed the work was completed and asked if there was anything else they could do to help us out. We will certainly contact Helpful Movers for future projects. Thank you!
