I consider John way more than a handyman. He is my Boots on the Ground because i in Seattle and help out my elderly aunt who lives in a senior community in Manchester. Today, amid the virus & on short notice (I called at 8pm last night), and w full PPE precautions, he picked up my aunt's sick cat, took him to Vet Urgent Care, sat with him, called me from the vet's with a report, even sent me pictures!! I don't know what I would do without John. His fees are low and his work and integrity are superb. read more

John and Ethan were very professional. They came promptly and worked hard in the rain to make sure our things got safely stored. We definitely recommend them! read more

Wonderful customer service! Got me my quote right away. I need to get back to John on my decision. read more

John's company did a great and fast job. The siding on top of my house blew off. He replaced the aluminum siding and vinyl siding. read more

I was skeptical about hiring someone I don't know to come into my home but John was nothing but polite and professional from the first minute. He arrived with his team and politely introduced himself - he had mats and was ready to help. He helped move a heavy carpet and huge sectional and then put a coffee table together for me. Not only does he help with anything but had very helpful advice regarding other projects I was working on around the house. 100% will hire him again. read more

John's Helping Hands - Thanks for your help setting this up! - Movers Near Me

These guys were incredible. I could not have moved my dad out without their help. Very professional and polite.

I hired John for a short-distance move. His work from beginning to end was totally top-notch....from returning my call promptly, to submitting a detailed estimate, to doing the actual move. He arrived with all the materials necessary for a move (an enclosed trailer, moving blankets, a dolly, etc). He was professional, polite, and friendly. And, the cost was significantly less than it would have been with a moving company. I would hire him again. read more

John's Helping Hands showed up on time, with smiles on their faces and ready to work. We contacted John under unique circumstances... we didn't know when we were going to be able to move in due to a very aggressive closing schedule. Additionally, we ran out of room in the trailer we were loading (my fault, not theirs) and rented a UHaul at the last minute. I have never seen a truck packed so precisely. I think part of the training for John's crew must be hours of Tetris. During this stressful time, John brought an element of calm and confidence to the situation. He reassured that we would have it all done, and after our closing on our new house, he and his would be ready to help unload. We moved from a turn of the century home with large rooms, wide doorways and high ceilings to a New England Farmhouse, where ceiling heights are much lower, and doorways do not exceed 28 inches (I gave them fair warning!). John, Andy and Joe took deep breaths and managed wonderfully. The pinnacle was when the sectional had to be moved into the playroom above the garage.... through a 28" angled door, and up a 3 foot wide staircase with two turns. After two unsuccessful attempts, Joe (who has a heart of gold and a voice of a Sopranos character) brainstormed a way to lift the couch above the rafters (in the only cathedral ceiling in the home) and bring the sectional into the playroom from above. I think it's safe to say that no matter what the challenge, John's Helping Hands will overcome it, won't give up, and will work with smiles on their faces up until the very end. A job well done, guys! read more

John was so helpful and professional. We called him last minute to help us move a hot tub that was delivered curbside and in the middle of our driveway without our prior knowledge. He was able to come right out the next day which we were so grateful! He and his associate were able to get it moved to the backyard safely and efficiently. They placed the hot tub on the pad and uncrated it. They broke down all the packaging, bagged it up and even moved the pallet to a more convenient location. Great job, great communication and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and use again! read more

We hired John's for a local move and were very disappointed with the results. They showed up on time with a rented uhaul truck and two kids with John. They moved so slowly that it really wrecked the schedule for the day. Within the first hour, the two young men that were there to move had taken two smoke breaks and we were being charged by the hour. After I spoke to John, they did speed up a little, but still no where near the skills that experienced movers have. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. No sense of urgency and didn't seem to care we were not pleased. read more

I have been meaning to write this review since September. Life got in the way, but I should credit some of that to John's Helping Hands, as they made my move so easy I was able to just jump right back into a busy schedule the next day! I hired John to take care of a temporary move that included moving all my stuff an hour away-- some stuff into storage and some into a home. John was friendly and responsive from the beginning. While all the other moving services were sending me impersonal surveys to fill out about apartment size and the amount of furniture, John was wiling to have a human, voice-to-voice conversation about the process. He gave me a VERY good price (hundreds lower than other places!) and followed through with that. On the day of the move, he arrived a little early but had no problem with the fact that I wasn't quite ready. He and his partner loaded the truck so incredibly fast, while still taking the time to wrap my furniture in moving blankets, etc. They also fit a ton of stuff into a relatively small truck like a professional game of life-size tetris. The unload was equally as quick and painless. Overall the experience was professional, efficient, friendly, and remarkably well-priced. I have recommended this business to friends and will absolutely hire John again when I next move. read more

I can't tell you how great John's Helping Hands was with building my Ikea furniture. His prices are totally reasonable and he completed the projects exactly in the estimated time we agreed upon prior to starting on the project. I would hire him again in a minute. read more

John is dependable, reliable, efficient, and SMART---he is like a Rubik's cube master with space and furniture. He is gentle with items including antiques and he is gentle with the house ensuring that no marring or marks are left behind. HIRE HIM! read more

HI - I hired John to fix my rusty old wrought iron front door stair railings. He was able to sand them all down, prime them and paint them a beautiful semi-gloss black. He also painted my lamp post to match. It was a very wonderful experience, he is very professional, takes his job seriously and you can count on him to do a wonderful job. Everyone who comes to my front door comments on how nice the stair railings look. Thanks John! - I will keep your card on my fridge for other "odd jobs" that some up. Maureen, NH read more

John and his assistant for our job (Andy) did a great job! They were just what we needed - a small, tactical crew to help us unload a 20' UHaul truck with everything to furnish a two-bedroom apartment. We were moving from CT to NH, had loaded up the truck ourselves, but wanted a crew to help us unload on the other end. I didn't know anyone in the Portsmouth area, so I put out a lot of bids on Yelp. Our job was big enough to require movers, but small enough that we didn't need the services of the big moving companies with their higher minimum rates, longer minimum hours and larger recommended larger crews. John was just what we needed. His prices were great, his attitude was wonderful, he and Andy worked quickly yet carefully... I would recommend him to anyone with a similar kind of move. Thanks John! read more

My husband and I hired John to help us with a move from an apartment to a house about a half hour away. We hired John and his helper, Matt to do the heavy lifting for us and pack the truck, and they were pros! John was easy to talk to on the phone, and responded very quickly to my questions. We had to change their arrival time by one hour the morning of the move, and he was very understanding and flexible. Our move went so smoothly and nothing was damaged and the price he gave us was more than reasonable! I would hire John again in an instant. read more

I never got a chance to evaluate this service as no one ever showed up. We scheduled a date and no one came or called to cancel or called to reschedule. Weeks later I received a response to an email that they had got a " big job" and didn't know when they would be available to do my job. read more

Just hired John's company for a local move from a house to an apartment. John was excellent to work with from the very first call. Very professional, polite, detail oriented and great communication. Value priced compared with other movers I called before him. Very accommodating and even took the time to pick up and drop off the Uhaul truck as part of his service (had to pay for use of the truck of course). He brought along one of his workers, Dave, who was top notch and same hard work ethic as John. Definitely glad I went with John's company and would use him again. Looks like he does many other services besides moving. His website is http://www.johnshelpin.../. read more

John showed up on time and did excellent work putting together IKEA furniture and helped with installing a light. Highest praise.

We used John's to move us twice in two months. We sold one home and hadn't finished the deal on the new home. Our buyer needed to move into our old place ASAP so we packed up everything in 6 days and moved a bunch of our boxes into a local self storage place our selves. When it came to the furniture, we called John's. They were there on time, they were careful with our stuff and were pretty fast with the move. We were very happy. We then finalized the deal on the new house (6 weeks later) and called John's once again. They came to our storage unit and packed EVERYTHING into the truck and delivered it to our new home. Not one single thing got broken or damaged by John or his workers. I would definitely recommend them to any one who needs movers who care,. read more

We can't say enough good words about John. We called him the day before Christmas Eve for an in-house project. Not only did he manage to come by later in the afternoon, but he and his helper also finished the job in a timely and professional manner. Even though it was in the early evening when they finished the job, John didn't rush out of the door. He patiently explained to us how to use and care for the equipment and even took away all the packing material and trash. We strongly recommend him! read more

Right from the get-go, I felt confident that John's Helping Hands was a good choice. All my conversations and emails and texts with John were prompt, professional, and thorough. I was moving a 2 bedroom apartment into a single family home (65 miles away) plus a storage facility. We had some furniture that needed to be moved out of the single family home (2nd floor) before the furniture from the apartment could be brought in. John understood exactly what I was requesting and packed the truck in just the right order so the things that needed to come out first did, and the rest came out at the storage facility. Many of our items were antiques and needed to be handled with care. John and his 2 man crew did a fine job. Nothing was broken or scratched or lost. They arrived EXACTLY on time!! They worked quickly and finished the job an hour ahead of what he estimated. His pricing was more than reasonable. I would recommend John to anyone who needs to have a job done well. John is honest, fair, knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely hire John again. read more
