In their own words
I am editing my review due to new management/ownership. Read review at the very bottom for previous 5 Star experience. If I could give my most recent experience ZERO stars, I would. I was quoted $260 for 2 hours or less back in December when I worked with the previous manager Justin and was given 3 men on the job which completed my move with ease and helped me out financially. Justin was so great to work with. He was reasonable, understanding, accommodating and professional.
By far worst company ever. Was only supposed to send 2 people. Sent 4. Then I had to pay for 4. They damaged my brand new table. (Did replace table top). Dryer door has a huge scratch (they tell us to use a magic eraser, tried, still scratched) still haven't fixed it. We found a box of beef, over $500 worth that they put a stereo speaker on. Lost all the meat. We never got an invoice. This is a horrible company. If I could give them less than one star I would
We do not wish to banter about facts and fiction. We will agree to disagree on this one and move forward. Thanks again for your business.
I had a few issues with the moving company, I ended with guys that were 2 hours late, then 1 of the guys said he was sick and couldn't work so I had 1 guys moving my stuff, I did call into the office and they worked out a deal. I think I still paid to much, the last 90 mins my husband helped them unload when he got home from work.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your job. Not sure where the disconnect was but please reach out to me directly. Please send pictures to [email removed] Thank you
We needed a small crew to help load a truck we had rented for a cross country move. The crew of two was scheduled to arrive between 2-3, they arrived at 4 because they stopped for a break. That was fine with us Our only need was to help load and wrap furniture and boxes. All items were packed into boxes and disassembled Our main complaints were professionalism, speed, taking care of our items, and then cost.
I'm giving one star to Helping Hands only because I can't give zero. I have never experienced lack of professionalism to the degree that I just did, and it was from the CEO of the company. I called for a free moving quote as listed on the website. I was redirected to Cody's number, when he answered I told him I wanted to schedule a quote for my out of state move. He was driving, so he called me back. He then asked me to text him my address and setup a time to come make the estimate.
I had an extremely disappointing experience with this moving company and would not recommend them. During our move, multiple items were damaged and broken, including irreplaceable pieces of furniture that were over 20 years old and glassware that had been given to us as wedding gifts. These were not minor scuffs—items were clearly mishandled and left broken. Even worse, the movers left major pieces of furniture behind, including our TV and entertainment center. This was only discovered after they had already left.
Horrible experience. It took the movers almost 7 hours to move the contents of a one bedroom apartment. I was the third job for the day. By the time the movers got to me they were so exhausted they could barely move. At the end of the day not only was I ripped off, but I had to endure the cussing of the workers because of how exhausted they were.
Although I was booked promptly (which is a good thing) when the movers showed up, there was an additional person. I wasn't told this would be an increased price (an additional $29.50 per hour) until it came time to pay for the services. It would have been nice to have had that information when I booked because I wouldn't have booked Helping Hands in that case. I also paid each mover a tip ($10 each) even though I was charged more that I was quoted.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your move. We would also like to take the time to clarify that you were not billed for any lunch break at all. Our employees take those off the clock and we would never bill for that.

In their own words
The movers were fantastic. Very nice, professional and careful with our furniture. Also had all the dollies and other equipment necessary to do the job, which some movers seem not to have, judging by reviews I've read on other companies. They worked very quickly, and did not "milk" the clock. I was moving a bedroom set (dresser, chest, headboard - no bed or mattress) from my sister's house to mine. Since it was such a small job, they gave me a reduced price, and the movers got a nice tip from both of us.

Helping Hands has turned moving furniture into an art form and they saved my Thanksgiving holiday!!! I hired a company to move a dining table, hutch, and front room set in preparation for hosting Thanksgiving at my house. Turns out the workers from this other company were afraid of straining a muscle (no joke). They only moved the couch cushions into the house and left the rest of the furniture in my garage. I called Helping Hands and told them what happened and the situation this other company left me in.

I had Robert, Brad and Mike move my entire life 25 minutes away and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Helping Hands was communicative, on time, extremely careful with my belongings and faster than I could imagined. When the office said they’d have my 1700 SF bungalow moved into my new two story home in 5 hours, I laughed. Then they told me the price and I laughed again. Then they did it. In 5 hours.
Three weeks ago we had Helping Hands assist us with moving our furniture and heavier items across the Salt Lake valley. I was extremely impressed when the crew of 4 guys and a truck showed up on time. My husband and I toured the crew through our house and identified the items that were to be moved. The crew then set to work loading up the truck. They were all very polite and worked professionally. They worked as a team when moving heavy items.
Thanks again for choosing Helping Hands Moving and Maids. We truly appreciate your business! Hope you have a Wonderful Day!
