I am eternally grateful to these gentlemen. I called Mark Foxworth of Helping Hands in desperation after the guys who were supposed to help me unpack three uBoxes flaked on me. Even though he was on his way home after a full day of moving someone else, he came quickly with a young man (who had also already worked a full day) and they unloaded all the furniture and boxes, even moving furniture up flights of stairs. They were professional, efficient and really pleasant all the way through it. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend. read more

My experience with Mr. Mark was truly outstanding. I was moving from Houston to NOLA on a weekend and Mr. Mark picked up my call around the afternoon and was able to help me move in all of my stuff by the evening time. It was on such a short notice so I am forever grateful! The care and responsibility he took with all of my items was amazing. Not to mention that his pricing was reasonable and of value. Commendable on the flexibility, professionalism, and friendliness. Thank you again Mr. Mark! read more

Mr. Mark moved my GF's thangs from her apartment into a 15-foot U-Haul truck. Him, and his boys were extremely professional, polite, and pleasant to deal with. They actually seemed like they gave a f*ck about her stuff - which is always a nice surprise. Most movers aren't that great. The best movers are Japanese movers. But these guys were pretty good, certainly. Thank you and have a nice day. read more

Helping Hands Professional Moving Service - Sitting comfy after movers added sofa - Movers Near Me

Mr. Fox and his team works fast. Despite how he talks to them, he make sure your items are safely brought and put on the truck. He like to show you where he sits your fragile items and give tips on how to now damage them while moving. The issue: Me and Mr. Fox passed words multiple times due to how he communicate. This is my first time moving my home. When I moved into my home, I bought everything new so I don't know the ins and out on how to do certain things. To start out, I had a couch in storage so as soon as I picked up my uhaul, my uncle put my couch in there. When Mr. Fox arrived, I asked him was the sofa ohkay or should it be moved for more space and if it needed to be moved, ill do it. FYI he is a fast talker so you have to really listen to what he says. He mentioned how he dont like to double work himself. You're not double working if I said I will move it. He mentioned how he don't like working with black clients cause they always have a problem and they don't have money. I am a black woman. He had 3 guys Instead of 2 so he tried to shorted my time. He mentioned he would get the big furniture and one corner of boxes and that was it until I started asking questions which he don't like. All I needed was help moving, not feel like I was getting messed over in the process. He kept mentioning how he was blessing me with plastic wrap, 3 movers and didn't charge me for stairs. Uhaul never asked me about stairs so sorry that was not included in the payment. I would have tipped had he not had an attitude and threatened to leave for not feeling appreciated cause I asked questions about my money and time. Appointment was for 1. He told me he will be here by 3-4 but no later than 5. He arrived after 6 and tried to do a rush job. He packed the glass top to my dining room table but not the base or chairs. He put the base in after I brought it outside. Same with the bed. I had to put the remaining pieces outside so it can be moved as a set. Also, he made comments about my child's father because he came by to pick up our kid and not help him do his job. When I actually looked inside the truck (this morning), my things are thrown in there... like I have a whole box that says cleaning supplies that was turned to the side and started leaking over night on top of my box of SHOES. He gets the job done... but his mouth is wreckless. Moving is stressful enough esp with little help. I would not hire this company again cause he made me go get a damn daiquiri after. Btw: He asked me this question "If I move 90% of your things in an hour and a half, what's the difference?" (FYI, I paid for 2 hours) read more

Honestly, me and mine were fooled by the demeanor and candor of Mark at first. However as our interactions continued, Mark screamed at both me and his staff several times. The costs of the move kept changing and there was no set price. He runs a cash only operation and gets very rude when not given his way. There is NO excuse for a man not honoring his word, and Mark definitely showed his entire behind this evening- and that is unacceptable! read more

I recently moved to New Orleans and needed movers to help with unloading my U-Haul. I contacted the company and they connected me with Mark. There was a hiccup with my apartment and I couldn't move in on the set date so I had to reschedule for the next day. Mark was truly an angel because he understood my situation and still helped me unload my things on his day off, and by himself! I don't think any other company would have made that same sacrifice. I'm eternally grateful to Mark and hope to work with him again in the future. I highly highly highly recommend Helping Hands Moving Service for all your moving needs. Thanks again Mark! read more

I highly recommend calling Mark for any upcoming moving help! This was our second time to use this service for unpacking/loading a large moving truck. Mark took extra special care to protect our belongings and pack them as efficiently as possible. He was willing to stay longer than was discussed to finish our job. We also have a large ceramic bbq grill that he moved with expertise, going above and beyond to make sure our belongings arrived in our destination safely. Five stars!! read more

I was in search of a moving company in New Orleans to accommodate my move from Orlando, FL. After calling around several "well known" NOLA companies and being quoted absolutely, outrageous prices, I stumbled upon Helping Hands on Yelp. 5 stars with over a dozen reviews... I had to inquire! I was warmly greeted over the phone by the owner, Mark. He was so kind, sincere, and definitely appeared that even over the phone, took pride in his business. I was quoted an extremely fair price, so I immediately booked. Mark and Kenny showed up on time (in fact, earlier than anticipated to help us beat a storm that was rolling in). The two of them unloaded my 20ft UHAUL in no time. They took care of our personal items, like they were their own and were friendly beyond words. There is no doubt that if anyone needs a recommendation on movers, whether big or small, you should call Mark. I will absolutely be their number #1 proponent going forward!!! read more

I used helping hands to move across town. I'd hire them again before any other movers. HH is a small local business. The owner, Mark has been a mover for years and just started his own company. He's very personable, an honest businessman and can command a good move (as good or better than most professional companies I have moved with). They did small things that make a good move, such as holding the elevator for the other tenants, setting things aside in the lobby and talking to people about the moving truck placement. Nothing got broken when they moved me, so I can't attest to any insurance things. They just move furniture and boxes and pack up as needed so you have to rent a budget truck on your own and you should get a dozen extra blankets or so. They also asked to pay cash. The cost was very reasonable and their phone response was prompt. read more

I hired Mark and his crew to move an obnoxiously large, fragile, antique armoire across my foyer. He treated my piece like it was his own and took great care to not damage my furniture or my house. I'm also incredibly particular about placement and he very patiently dealt with me having him move my very heavy armoire "just another inch," and, "ok maybe like another half inch," until I was satisfied that it was placed exactly where I wanted it. Hire Mark and his team! They're well worth it! read more

Great guys! Friendly, professional and thorough! AND was able to accommodate us last minute! We called with 48 hours notice and Mark squeezed us in. The staff is also very familiar with all of the downtown/CBD apartment buildings and came recommended by building staff read more

BEWARE!!! Don't let the positive reviews fool you! this moving company is not licensed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission, where all legal moving companies are licensed: http://lpscstar.louisiana.gov/star/portal/lpsc/page/TranDocs/portal.aspx What he is doing is illegal. I received a quote with mark for my move a month ago, the numbers were hand written on a piece of paper, he changed the quote on me 3 times, again showing me papers with messy handwriting. He demanded half of my deposit just to book the moving truck, which I gave him. It was the third time that he changed my quote and I suddenly realized that something is not right. So I cancelled my move. I did some research and found that he is not licensed in Louisiana or nationwide. He doesn't have the proper registration and what he is doing is illegal!!! read more

Mark Foxworth and company ruined antique pieces of furniture including gouging our table and breaking to legs on a malard marble top table. They were careless, did not have the right truck and left us moving two pickup truckloads that evening. THEY ARE A NIGHTMARE!! read more

Mark and his team were extremely professional, courteous and considerate when moving my son into his new apartment. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would recommend this gentlemen and his crew to any one. Very trustworthy, on time and worked quickly and efficiently. Nothing broken, scratched or damaged in any way. This was truly a God Sent Blessing. My son was relocating from California and I came from St. Louis, Mo. Thank you Mark and the Helping Hand Movers. Gregory Hawkins Sr. read more

Movers were very careful with the furniture moving from the apartment, even though it took a while to move but everything arrived in good shape. His hired crew were strong and able to move the furniture. read more

Mark and his team are miracle workers! Mark was able to schedule us in with less than 24 hours notice. He made sure to take care of our items to check with us before loading any fragile boxes. He had a clear vision and plan to pack our three bedroom house into a 16' POD. There was even a little room to spare! We can't thank Mark and his team enough for their hard work and attention to detail. We will recommend Helping Hands in a heartbeat! read more

Mark Foxworth and his team did a very good job moving my apartment. They were on time and professional. They do have a 2 1/2 hour minimum move, and my move didn't take that long, but that is his requirement. Also, the price did change from what I was quoted once they got there and started doing the move. Other than that, him and his team of three movers did an excellent job moving my items without scratching anything and did it very quickly. They also organized everything neatly inside the uhaul truck. I do recommend his services if you need to be moved locally ,and he will try to fit you in as best as he can. They do out of town moves as well. I'm glad I utilized his services, because it made my move less stressful. read more

Mr. Mark and Theodore were great--thorough and conscientious, even at their own expense. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Mark and helping hands did a wonderful job moving me across the country from New Orleans to Columbus Ohio. They got all my possessions there safe & handled all my property with great care. Also, as a special request, they let my cats travel with them because I didn't know you had to get a Veterinarian clearance to fly with pets. Mark's helper, Mr. Kenny, pulled over every hour to check on my babies because he's a "cat lover" too. Now they're here with me in Ohio, healthy & happy! I would highly recommend Helping Hands for any moving job, big or small. I would recommend Mark and his crew to my friends for all of their moving needs also because I have that much confidence in them! Too bad I couldn't go higher than five stars on Yelp because they deserve more! read more

I am a case manager for Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans. My department services consumers with developmental disabilities. One of my consumers needed a mover in short notice. I contacted the company on a Tuesday for a move needing to be completed the following Friday. I found Helping Hands Moving Service here on Yelp. The reviews were exceptional so I decided to give them a call. I spoke with Mark Foxworth, the owner of the company, he was professional and very accommodating. The day of the move there were issues, the most significant one being the check written out to the company was not written specifically as they had requested. This resulted in the company not being paid after the job was completed as we had requested. The owner remained professional and understanding in light of him not receiving his payment until almost a week later. The company was kind to my special needs consumer and my staff, honest and completed the work in less time than we expected. I would recommend Helping Hands Professional Moving Service without reservation. They will be the business I always choose for my company or personal moving needs from now on. Sandy J. Williams Facilitator/Case Manager Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans read more

Thank you & your team for carrying my 8.5ft couch up 17 flights of stairs. You guys worked so hard to get the job done. They even came back the next day to finish the job. Will recommend them! We appreciate the last-minute help! read more

This dude is a scam artist period! He has this company list as a moving company but he really is a moving helper at best. First, he charges you for the uhaul he rents to move your stuff so he has no overhead. Second, they were very slow and damaged several items including a new bedroom set. I had to glue parts together to fix it and buy touch up paint to fix all the scratches. Then I had finish the move in my 2 SUV's in order to get all my stuff moved cause they couldn't make everything fit since he underestimated the size of the truck he rented. This was a total disaster and my wife was pissed with all the damaged items and still talks about how horrible they were. Stay far away from this company and like some others have said don't get fooled by the fake reviews like I did. read more

I used Helping Hands moving for a local move. Mark was accommodating and flexible when I had some last minute schedule changes. His team was extremely respectful of my time and personal belongings. I appreciate that he checked in multiple times the week before to confirm moving details. Overall my experience was a pleasant one and would recommend Mark and his team. read more

I had a box of mirrors- supposedly delivered in two boxes. It was one HUGE box. Mark and his team maneuvered the mirrors and got them into my 3 floor walk up safe and sound. No one thought it was possible! read more

DO NOT book them. We had the worst possible moving experience. We booked them A MONTH prior to our move due to reading such good reviews. We were so relieved to have everything in place to make our moving day run smoothly. Our movers contacted us a week before our move. They were telling us they were coming the wrong day, so we corrected them and confirmed the time with them. Everything was go to go. We frantically tried calling them when our movers were 30 mins late. No answer. They FINALLY got back to us after leaving multiple voicemails. They said they had us down for a different time and were scheduled for another move at this time. They agreed to send a moving crew out to us in 40 mins. The crew never showed and again we could not get in touch with anyone. They finally got someone out to us TWO HOURS after our scheduled time. At this point we had already called another moving company to come out to us and help. The guys called us when they got here and after we advised that we no longer needed them because nobody answered the phone and we called someone else, they blatantly hung up on us. No apologies, nothing. This entire situation made us late for our movers on the other end and we had to scramble to change their times. Unprofessional and horrible service overall. We still have not gotten an apology or a refund. We paid $300 for a crew for 2 hours. read more

Mark Foxworth of Helping Hands Professional Moving Service was professional in every way. He moved artwork and antiques for my mother from New Orleans to Columbus, OH, always with great care and concern, as well as timeliness and and a wonderful sense of humor. Everything about the move went smoothly, from packing and loading and the move itself. Mark worked with us on our schedule, which included keeping the items in storage for a few weeks, so that he and Kenny had to load and unload twice. They were awesome! Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I couldn't be happier with Mark and his "Helping Hands" moving company. We had driven 2200 miles and were exhausted when we arrived in New Orleans and Mark was the first person we met here. He was so friendly and welcoming and did such a great job that we knew right away we had made the right decision moving here. He and his helper were fast, efficient and professional. It rained heavily the entire time they were unloading our U-Haul, yet they maintained a cheerful attitude and nothing was affected by the rain. We were very impressed by Mark and Butler's efficiency and courtesy. What a great welcome to the great city of NOLA. read more

I'm a Commercial Shipper. I handle shipments throughout the US. Periodically I need assistance loading or unloading items that I cannot handle myself. So, I have a good bit of experience with movers. My expectations are pretty high. Punctuality is very high on the list. I'm coordinating a few moving parts, so I expect for things to be synchronized & executed. I was making a delivery in NOLA & needed assistance unloading some very fragile items. Helping Hands handled the job perfectly! On time, smooth, & efficient! Honestly, it was a great experience working with Mark. Communication from initial phone call to job completion was consistent. He was very nice to deal with. Most importantly of all ... everything was unloaded smoothly! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I called Mr. Mark when the movers I hired didn't show up on our Saturday morning moving day. They showed up within 2 hours IN THE RAIN and loaded our truck, for an amazing price. And they were fast and super super friendly! This man saved my move and my sanity and I cannot thank him enough. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Please do not get conned like I did. This is not a professional moving company. This is one person with a fake business. These "movers" did not provide me with any legitimate paperwork outside of a picture of an invoice and a hand written receipt on the back of a business card. They did not accept credit card and were generally not careful at all with my stuff. They also did not treat me very well, even though I was the customer. If you are looking for someone to help you move and you don't care about having your stuff get there unbroken or being insured then these might be the "movers" for you. Most undoubtedly most if not all of the 5 star reviews are fake. I hired this "company" to unload a 12' truck into a one bedroom apartment and to unload a washer and dryer into a storage facility and was just glad to have it done. These are the most unprofessional "movers" I have ever encountered. Let me count the ways how this was a terrible experience: 1) Agreed to come at 2:30 - 3:00 pm, but these "movers" did not show up until 3:40ish. I had to text and call to get the information of when they would show up. Poor communication and late show. 2) Tried to renegotiate price (which was already kind of high -- $250 for 2 movers for 2.5 hours minimum for a 12 foot truck/1 bedroom apartment and a washer and dryer (no hookup) unload only - no way it would take 2.5 hours) immediately upon showing up because there was a "40 yard" walk to the apartment. This is a first floor apartment and these "movers" had a dolly and hand truck so they were complaining about pushing these wheeled boxes from the truck to the apartment. Mentioned something about "state law"? which is probably the lamest reason I have ever heard. At least it made me laugh. More on that later. 3) Did not have any paperwork for the move (Mover's insurance? Accepting responsibility? Job contract? etc.). Could not provide me an invoice until after the move. Accepted cash only. This is a huge red flag. Provided a receipt by hand writing the amount on the back of a business card (wtf?). 4) Did not know how to release a strap that was holding the washer and dryer in place even though claimed to be in the moving business for over a decade. We ended up kicking it off the rail real professional like (wtf?). 5) Broke the top to one of my plastic boxes. 6) Dropped the contents of one box all over the truck floor. Had to pick up and place in another box. 7) Job was finished in 1 hour and 15 minutes including the trip from the apartment to the storage place. According to invoice, I paid for a whole 1 hour and 15 minutes that was not used ($100 an hour, 2.5 hour minimum) and these "movers" had the audacity to ask for more tip. 8) "State Law": Even though I was accused of breaking state law in point number 2, apparently in Louisiana you have to be registered with the LPSC (Louisiana Public Service Commission) in order to do moving. Could not find this business listed. These "movers" are breaking state law. What irony but hardly surprising. 9) In general, treated me with disdain because I wouldn't agree to pay more than the agreed upon price. If this review saves one person from getting conned like I did, I feel that it would have done its job. I also recommend not using Yelp since it seems to be just full of these fake companies and fake reviews. read more
