About us
Why do it yourself when you can use some Friendly Help when moving. I offer moving labor services that can help make your move fast and affordable. Years of experience ensures the work is done in an effective and efficient manner. You provide the vehicle (Uhaul or similar) and I provide the muscle. We are also available for help with loading PODS, Uboxes, ABF/UPack and similar containers. With my help, you can get your move done without the high cost. I started this company in response to the real need for some extra help when moving. We are one of Austin's premier moving companies even though we are one of the smallest. I personally do every move to ensure everything is done effectively and efficiently with the proper care. Pricing starts at $140 for 2 men for 2 hours. References available upon request. Whether your moving across the country or across the street, I look forward to helping make it easy for you.

Their attitude was crappy. One guy, he was trying to see if he could stay by himself and get more money. So I was kinda like, whatever dude, and he was they one that was very p**** because I had so much cr*p. You know, I'm sorry, you get paid by the hour.

"First of all, to those reading this review from [Member Name Removed] - This review does not reflect the true integrity I bring forth on every move I conduct. Please do a search of my company name and read the nearly 400 reviews on another site to see a true reflection of my work and professionalism since I am new to Angie's List. Please allow me the opportunity to put the situation in context: The truck you rented was way too way small and your unwillingness to dismantle certain oversized pieces of furniture the only further tied my hands. Both of these issues were discussed during our initial conversation. I believe that proper planning is key to success and I always encourage customers to consider a larger truck then they perceive they need when moving out of town since the cost difference can be minimal - unfortunately you did not take this advice. The moving help you booked was for 2 hours - it was discussed during our initial conversation that it was very difficult for me to add any "unscheduled" time to a move because I have several moves a day planned. Subsequent customers should not be inconvenienced to accommodate your move if it can be avoided with proper planning. Due to the large, heavy nature of your furniture and the lack of sufficient room in truck, the initial time allotted only allowed for a portion of the larger and extremely heavy items to be properly loaded to prevent damages during transport. We stayed an extra, "unscheduled" hour to finish and then rushed to our next client. "Their attitude was crappy" - that is never the case. We are happy to help with every move that is why we use "Friendly" in the company name - it was suggested to us by a customer. We know that moving can be stressful and we try to make the day as easy for you as possible - both mentally and physically. I own the company and I perform the labor as well - I am not an just an hourly employee. I am humble enough not to let this be known to every customer and I take pride in my profession. We have moved hundreds of satisfied customers and look forward to helping many more for many years. Thank you for choosing me to help with your move - Good luck."

Jon and the guys were great.
- Communication was really good. John called 3 days before the move and we settled on a time to start, and he called again the day before to confirm.
- They took direction really well. They were mindful of the clock and got as much done as humanly possible in the time we had. We own several very large pieces of furniture and they were able to move all of them out and back in again without any damage to the pieces OR the walls and floors. They also removed all of our major appliances and when we moved back in they not only moved them back in they set them up as well.
- We ran into a snag moving back into our house (the contractor neglected to clean the floors before he returned it to us..)and it caused a 2 hour delay, which caused us to run out of time on the scheduled move day. John quickly volunteered to schedule 2 more hours the following day to complete the move. I'm not sure what we would have done without his willingness to help.
- They are great guy and (God forbid) if I ever have to move again I will not hesitate to give them a call.

"Thank you very much [member name removed] for the review and for choosing me to help with your temporary move and the remodel shuffle. It was pleasure meeting y'all. We were happy to help and appreciate the acknowledgement. I am happy we could make the whole process of moving out and then moving back in a little easier for your family. Being totally prepared for a move is a key factor for both sides - Thank you for being packed and ready to go when we arrived. The house looks amazing. I hope y'all enjoy a long and happy time in the new house. Don't hesitate to call if you need any more help moving furniture around. Thanks again, John G. Friendly Help Movers p.s. [member name removed], I hope your knee heals quickly and completely from the surgery."

This company moved quickly and did a good job. They were on a time schedule,so they were not able to get everything done.
Response from Friendly Help Movers
"Thank you for the review - we were happy to help. Unfortunately we have a very busy schedule during peak moving season and we were unable to accommodate the extra time needed to complete the entire move - you scheduled for a 4 hour time block and we worked all the allotted time. I take pride in being on time, every time for each move. I am glad that we were able to get everything you could not manage by yourself - your original plan for us in the 4 hour time frame (you moved from a 3rd floor apt. to a home 30 minutes away). We worked as fast and careful as possible to try to get everything done in that time frame. I appreciate your business. Enjoy your Summer - Congratulations on your new home."
