I had the pleasure of working with Devon and Kevin during my recent move, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. They did an outstanding job moving my boxes from the house to the containers. They handled everything with exceptional care, ensuring my belongings were treated with the utmost respect. Not only were they efficient and professional, but they also had a positive attitude throughout the process, making the experience stress-free and pleasant. Their excellent remarks and clear communication were greatly appreciated. If you're looking for reliable and hardworking movers, I highly recommend Hire a helper.

M&M Moving was there before the scheduled time, they were proactive, ready to get a jump start on the move. Which was great, because it was supposed to be raining. They worked very hard & worked in unison. They asked me where I would like the items to be placed as they brought them inside. I would definitely use them again!

The help from these guys was way over half the battle of moving from CA to VA! They understood my exhaustion from a long road trip and unloaded the truck within a hour. They were a pleasure to work with… or to watch ‘cause I just stood around and told them where to put stuff. ?? Hire these guys! Worth more than you know!
— Joyce M.

Would be 5 star except Bobby had to do all the work. The other guy was not physically able to help and keep up with the load like he should. Bobby worked really hard and I would definitely use them again....well not the other guy.

My moving technicians, Mark and Dwayne were exceptional! They were courteous, professional and most importantly, they seemed to care about the level of service they provided which certainly put my mind at ease (extremely important as moving can be so stressful all by itself)! Recommending Jon's Friendly Movers is truly a "no brainer". I'm telling anyone who will listen. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received!

The guys were GREAT! They were held up on a previous job, but kept me informed of their expected arrival. Once at my place they wasted no time in getting right to work. Every item was carefully moved to ensure no damage. My move went smoothly and was complete ahead of expected time. I highly recommend Jon's for your next moving labor help! D. R. Donovan
