Movers | Efficient Moving Labor

They did a good job even for everything on one truck no extra charge and was respectful and did everything correctly

— Gloria R.

Movers | Sharp Van Lines

It's a shame they only have 5 stars to give, because I would honestly give 77! Movedayhelp.com was absolutely incredible! They were communicative and professional before the move, during, and even after! They knew what they were doing, they worked so well together, and there were seriously difficult logistical concerns getting some of the furniture in, and they were able to do it, no damage, and even finished a half hour earlier than anticipated! Seriously, I would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Courtney and Azar did an amazing job. They had a plan and they did it with no issues. There was some demolition happening around the exit of my building that I was unaware would be happening and they worked around it. Customer service, communication, and timing were 5 stars. Ask for them when booking!

Movers | PROMOVE

The movers had great communication and arrived on time. They kept moving and were efficient and hard working. They were respectful of our property and a huge help. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend this company and crew.

— Jacob H.

Movers | Always Reliable Moving Specialist

The movers did a good job and handled getting a lot of furniture up a 3rd story walk up with a relatively narrow staircase/halls. I wasn’t sure our couch would make it, but it did! They could’ve been a little bit gentler with our things, but it was quite a few items and late in the day so I understand. The 4 stars is because it is nearly impossible to get in contact with the actual company — I tried calling, emailing. I wanted to update the movers that we were 30 min behind several hours in advance, but I could not reach management. It would be helpful to receive better contact information.

Henry and Debo were *fantastic.* WOW! What I thought would take 3 hours took 1, and they could not have been more professional or lovely. I had some fragile art items that needed loading, and they treated every object with care and attention. On top of all that, I made the booking only the day before! I have nothing bad to say about Hire A Helper, and will definitely use them again. What a reliable, easy, helpful service.
