Desmond seriously came to the rescue today.
Needed to move a bunch of boxes and some light furniture out of a moving truck and into a storage unit so we could return the truck in time - but my partner and I have chronic injuries and he and I were pushing our limits.
Tried out this app for the first time, hoping I'd get lucky with last minute help, so I sent Desmond a message and he responded just a few hours later. He met us at the storage unit this morning and took care of our belongings with efficiency, thoughtfulness and strength! He even helped my partner rearrange some of the items in our storage unit to better fit (including heavy bed frames) with no issue. Love it when someone knows how to play Tetris to maximize your space!
Desmond is a very positive and friendly person with a real "go-getter" attitude that was really welcomed after a very stressful weekend of moving! He's definitely worth the fee, and you won't regret asking him for help. We will be keeping him in mind for any future handy projects!

Desmond was very nice and respectful. He showed up promptly and was very careful moving a few pieces of furniture out of my house. We definitely hire him again.

Very pleased with Mr Jones work at my house. He moved some heavy items from one BR to the adjacent BR in my house. It is actually still a work in progress. Unable to take pictures as currently I am bed ridden.

I found Desmond on Thumbtack at the last minute when my original moving helpers canceled due to personal emergencies. Not only did he graciously fit me into his schedule that same day, but he also went above and beyond by returning twice over the next few days to complete additional tasks. Desmond worked efficiently and diligently, requiring no supervision, which gave me complete peace of mind. His reliability, strong work ethic, and professionalism make him a standout. I wholeheartedly recommend Desmond to anyone in need of skilled, trustworthy help for home or office projects!
Details: 6-10 items • Sofa • Armchair / recliner • Dining table • Bed frame • Mattress • Other furniture items • Within the same building • Stairs to load items • Stairs to unload items
