Customers Trust MovingPlace

Adriano & Chris were truly amazing. They planned each item to make sure it was the best way to move the item with no damage . They were on time and were wonderful to work with. Great manners and polite and made sure no mess was made. Introduced themselves upon arrival and shook our hands when they left. Hard working and Adriano & Chris worked well together. Would definitely use them again!! Thank you!

I appreciated Mcleod Moving sending workers to help me with my move because I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. The workers communicated well and were on time. They worked extremely hard, but I was a little concerned because none of the straps I provided were used to secure items, but they did use all the moving blankets so I'm hoping items arrive safely. The other issue I had was that my newly refinished floors got some good scratches across them since no sliders or blankets were used to move heavier items across them. Since my container won't be delivered until later, I can't comment if items were packed in a way that they will survive their journey, I can only hope.

— Tamiko J.

Both gentlemen were extremely kind and helpful. I had a lot of furniture that means a lot and they treated it all with care and were asking questions based off of what i was needing. They called ahead of time to ask if they could be early which i appreciated and helped. Both worked very hard and were respectful, yes I would use them again if needed!

— Natalie M.

Movers | Square One Moving

i've never hired people to help me move before, always depending on friends and family. i heartily recommend hiring Hire a Helper movers for your next move. they were on time, friendly, professional, and worked hard to move our stuff into the awaiting containers. basically, they were everything you could want from a moving service but the real treat was watching how they packed the containers. it's an art form. Thanks! Guys!! i'm looking forward toward your help unloading the containers...

Movers | MovingZoom

Austin and Noah/Bob were Great! I would heartily recommend them to be your moving partners. They arrived Early (better than on-time) they worked efficiently, thoughtfully and with great professionalism. It was interesting to see how they packed the POD, like a jigsaw puzzle the way that craftsman stone cutters build a wall with no mortar that will last for centuries. I look forward to working with them again in a few days, to load our second POD... t.

Robert and Jonathan arrived on time and got to work. I was afraid not everything would fit in my POD and they packed it perfectly. I even have room for some additional items if I want to add something. They were courteous and respectful of my belongings. They were even kind enough to relocate my kitchen table within my home. I highly recommend these movers and will hire them again when my remodel is complete.
