  • Erin N.Mateus is very impressively strong and clearly has experience moving large furniture. He had a positive attitude throughout the job (helping deliver a very large cabinet from the thrift shop to my home, using my minivan) and was lovely to work with. He had suggestions for the best way to complete the job when I had questions. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an expert hand moving large or heavy things (or honestly, any other job Mateus is comfortable helping with). The language difference presented no problem at all; don't let that deter you from hiring him. I do not speak Brazilian Portuguese and we communicated smoothly through Google Translate Voice-to-Text.

  • Donielle R.Logan was fantastic from start to finish! He responded quickly, had great communication, and when he arrived (a few minutes early!), he immediately made sure he understood the task and got right to work.
