TESTIMONIALS

Katherine bohnen ★★★★★

Hired Hands was wonderful! The movers were very polite and efficient. I highly recommend Hired Hands!

DARRELL WHITE ★★★★★

This company packed up all my stuff from my apartment near Cornell, packed it nicely and brought it to my door in Michigan. Nothing was damaged, everything I wanted packed was brought safely. The movers were very professional. They really helped me with a bad situation, I was here in MI taking care of a family member and not able to travel myself to get my things due to COVID-19 concerns. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs to get their stuff packed and moved out of Ithaca.

Meredith Shachoy ★★★★★

Excellent team, working together! Very polite and productive and worked hard to move all of our belongings carefully. Thank you for a great move and making the process less stressful and enjoyable! We look forward to working again with you soon!

John Luginsland ★★★★★

These guys are the best for a move around Ithaca - I have used them twice in the recent past, and both times they were great! Timely, very careful in boxing my things, very careful in moving my things and not bumping things in the house, and then getting everything in exactly the right place at the destination. They are much more careful in moving than your typically professional movers. And the price is right! I cannot say enough good things about Hired Hands!

Bl Wang ★★★★★

First time to use their moving service. The whole process was smooth and they are very professional and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Thee Amish Structures ★★★★★

Highly recommend! The movers were friendly, respectful and very knowledgeable about the moving process. They had several heavy pieces of large furniture to move and did it without any issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again if needed.

Carol Sutherland ★★★★★

We had an awesome experience with our moving crew! Julian, Benny and Shawn were strong, polite, fast and very hardworking! We had a lot of furniture to move and their work ethic exceeded our expectations.

Timothy Carn ★★★★★

I am very impressed with these guys. I am from South Carolina and in June 2017 my son declared his intention to move to Ithaca. We loaded a rental truck and made the 800+ mile trip. Imagine my horror when on the morning of our arrival the “outfit” that I had contacted to unload the truck was nowhere to be found. 

Luckily, my wife did a quick google search and found Hired Hands. Within an hour they had 2 young men at my door. One hour later the truck was empty. Wow!

Now it is 2019. My son has found a fiancé and a lot more stuff. It was time for a better apartment across town. I immediately thought of Hired Hands. This time they did the whole move. They brought the truck, unloaded the old place and loaded it into the new place. The whole thing took about 4 hours and we couldn’t be happier. The price was great. The guys were polite and did not shy away from any challenge. They even dropped some furniture we did not want at the Ithaca re-use center. 

If all goes as planned we will be loading another truck in the summer of 2021. I already have the website bookmarked and the phone number saved. 

I don’t see how anyone could go wrong using these guys.
