Experienced mover that is physically capable of moving large and heavy objects. I can also recommend a second Tasker for the job if needed. I also do not have a truck but I can provide blankets and wrapping if needed to make sure the items are secure.

  • Janet R.Great communication and flexibility. When the original task was unexpectedly already done, he reached out and then he did something else instead that I suggested that a previous tasker had been physically unable to do. I'm coordinating remotely for my elderly sick parents, so that communication is really important. Heavy Lifting
