Anthony and his group did an amazing job packing my moving container. They knew exactly how to Tetris pack it for a long distance move and use the space wisely. He Had great communication even when they knew they were running a little late, I got plenty of notice. They were extremely friendly and sooo strong. I hired three movers for two hours and they were extremely efficient and respectful of the time allotted and packed my 5 glass display cabinets very carefully. I would hire them again. They completely packed my 16 ft container in the time allotted. I even think there was a little time to spare. Just Hire them!

Movers | Falls and Company
I was initially disappointed because the first crew was not prepared but the owner ensured the replacement crew got the job done. There was a mishap with the original crew’s vehicle so Kyree came down personally with his backup crew. He was apologetic and stayed until everything was on the truck. I would utilize his company again

Movers | I & O moving
I was not present but I spoke to my daughter and some others who were there. The men actually arrived early, which was fine. My daughter was very happy with the care they took to avoid any damage. The men were very polite and industrious. It was a very good experience. I have used Hire-A-Helper three times before and it has always been a positive experience. I would definitely recommend Hire-a-Helper in general or the crew that was there today specifically. Considering that we were just booking the service yesterday afternoon, this worked out really well for us. Thanks. Larry S. Chestertown, MD.

When Tyler and Lexi showed up I was very skeptical... our exact words, “ no way in hell” Not even did they get it done but they were methodical and careful with our furniture. I had asked for a dolly but they did not know that and did not bring anything. Fortunately a neighbor had 1 we could borrow. I would use King & Queen again.

Movers | Foxhound Moving
the 2 young men were prompt (even a little early), very polite, and well experienced with moving. I kept the pace very fast - and they had no problem keeping to that pace. I also was lucky to have 2 other young men - my friends 2 sons. They worked wonderfully together. Their teamwork got the job done in less time than I scheduled. My only regret is that I wasn't prepared with tip/cash to give them upon completion 1/2 hour less than scheduled time.
