I had an excellent experience with Smooth Ride Movers! Pros: Easy communication before the move. They came on time and ready to work. They were diligent, efficient, fast and careful. They were kind and respectful of me, my time and my belongings. Cons: None! They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend them as well as use them again in a future move.

These guys were great. Super professional. Super motivated to get the job done. We had a few pieces that we were almost positive that we wouldn’t be able to get into the new apartment and they worked their magic and they got everything in. We are beyond grateful for their help and their hard work. We will definitely be using them again. Thanks guys!

The crew was 15 min late which is not a big deal. They did handle some of the furniture a little rough which caused some scratches but other than that they were pretty good

Paul & Willie were extremely professional, energetic & effective! Due to my scheduling (& lack of preparation), I needed to book 2 appointments, a week apart; because I did not plan for them moving so fast - They finished the job under the time limit. I specifically requested Paul & Willie back for my second day. This time, I'll be better prepared for how fast these two courteous, efficient professionals get the job done!

If you need a helping hand then hire Helping Hand LLC.We had an ice storm on moving day and they still arrived within the time frame specified. I totally underestimated the time to move and despite taking 3 hours longer than I had thought they got the job done. The rental truck company short changed me on the size of the truck and they made it all fit. Everything arrived to the new place unpacked without issue. Look no further, if I move again this is the company to hire! Chris, Sparta NJ
