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!

— Camille G.

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.

— Alexia L.

Movers | PROMOVE

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.

— Danielle D.

Keith and Tyrel we’re fabulous. They made the packing of my container a breeze. Their knowledge of moving and efficiency really helped to get everything in. I’d call them again.

— Aron A.

Movers | PROMOVE

These guys are the best. They earned their business name and more! All moves are stressful, but Nayquhon and his team’s professionalism were a true calm. I used them for moving out and moving in, and they were incredible on both ends. I hope I don’t need to move again, but if I do, I’ll be calling always reliable. Thank you guys!

— Sean K.

— Richard O.

Movers | Always Reliable Moving Specialist

Keith & Unique were such amazing help. They were on time, very careful with my belongings & worked extremely hard to pack my things in the most efficient way. I had to move on short notice due to an emergency & had to pack my whole life/apartment in about 24 hours. It was an extremely chaotic move because of the short time frame but Keith & Unique came in ready to problem solve & help me get everything right. Can’t recommend them enough & I will definitely be calling them again next time I move!

— Taylor O.

Sharp Van Lines was excellent! Firuz and Karim were helpful, quick, and gentle with moving my stuff from the PODS facility in Queens to my apartment in Brooklyn. They were professional and kind. I would highly recommend them.

— Daniel S.

Movers | Sharp Van Lines

Keith and Tariq were amazing. Incredibly fast and careful. I was nervous about everything working out because we hd a tight window to operate in and it was as smooth as it could possibly be. Nayquon in the office made sure we we kept informed and helped with a last minute request on flexibility. Really couldn’t be happier or recommend these folks more highly.

— Michael W.

Movers | Always Reliable Moving Specialist

Azar and Courtney were very friendly, professional, and efficient moving items from the truck and up two flights of stairs. They accomplished in two hours what would have taken me an entire afternoon. If you are questioning whether to use movers or not, their efforts made the answer a definite yes.

— Samantha S.

They were very efficient and helpful! Also was able to book them the day before with no issues!

Yusef and his partner were fantastic! I couldn’t imagine two better movers. Communication was stellar and they were extremely proactive, efficient, helpful, and hardworking. They removed the worry from the unloading process and turned it into an enjoyable and pleasant experience. I give them my highest recommendation.

— Ben S.

Hard workers get the job done efficiently

— Naomi A.

Movers | Always Reliable Moving Specialist

They were prompt and on time but moved very slowly and was clear they were just trying to bump up my rate. There were at least 4 instances where I have perfect view of the truck and they were not at the truck nor were in my apartment for up to 10 minutes at a time. Other than that, I will say they laird excellent attention to detail, the truck was packed well, and they were mostly professional but honestly I would rate them as a bit lazy as they just didn’t really want to work that hard. Zero sense of urgency and honestly quite frustrating.

— Jj W.
