I thought the guys did a great job unfortunately I didn’t see this till a couple days later one of them hit the wall by the front door and punched a hole in it and I would like to have that repaired if you can contact us ASAP

We left them nothing but our heaviest pieces to haul in and most of it went upstairs! These were big chunky solid pieces going up narrow staircases. They managed everything with great care and efficiency. Jerry and Trent worked with us and I would gladly recommend them although with how heavy our stuff was I'm not sure they would want to do the same for us ;D

Working with PODS and Hire A Helper in two different states made this moving process sooooo much easier. Their system is easy to use and working with the people who helped pack and unpack the PODS took away a lot of stress. The people who helped were courteous, informative, and took care of our goods very well. (We had items that have a lot of meaning to us). Organizing, and working with timing was also so easy. I highly recommend Hire A Helper. It helps take away the stress of moving.
