Bob &Jay were excellent. On time, pleasant to deal with and conscientious. We finished in record time. I would thoroughly recommend them & Hire a Helper

The duo who did my move were a real blessing. I was stressed because my building forgot about my move and didn’t wrap the elevator, or have it on independent mode. These guys were communicative, calling me first before their arrival and were also exactly on time. These guys were super careful, as well as fast and efficient. They had the POD loaded in 1.5 hours. In the past, I used a different company that took 6 hours to unload basically the same stuff. They also loaded everything carefully and strapped it down professionally so there would be no shifting. Also, I can’t emphasize this enough but these 2 movers have a very calm demeanor that really helped quiet all the anxiety about my move. Their attitude was relaxed, confident, and exactly what kept me from stress spiraling. I cannot recommend them enough. I’d give them 6/5 if I could.

????? Movers of Sacramento — Unstoppable Team ?????? Moving to Chico this season ?? felt like a dream, and Alex and his assistant made it possible. Their endurance, strength, and nonstop work ethic were unreal. They wrapped my Italian furniture ??????? and 30-year-old artwork ?? with precision, packed the storage unit flawlessly ??, and powered through a long SF-to-Yuba City move without slowing down once. If you want true professionals who treat your belongings like their own, ask for Alex at Movers of Sacramento. These guys are the real deal. ???

I'm a 74 year old retired teacher with too much stuff accumulated over the years. I am going to ask Noah and Xavier from Moving Zoom to help me finish clearing out 27 years of...stuff...from my apartment and load my UPack containers for my move. They were great, and I don't feel as overwhelmed as I did before they arrived. In fact I am looking forward to continuing the job with them. Excellent hard work, organized, friendly and supportive. Very highly recommended!
