They were reliable. They brought their own equipment. They're just trustworthy. I said that I would give them up to four hours and they did it in less than four hours rather than charging me for the whole time.
Description of Work: We use the services of Sweeps. It's kind of an all around service. They did a move out clean.

Two young strong men arrived exactly on time. They were ready to work, courteous, professional and careful with my things. I never felt anxious during the leading or unloading, and if you knew me, you would know that was a great compliment. I would use them again for anything that comes up. This is a great service!

Scott showed up right on time and helped me move a desk from the front door to facilitate bringing in the sofa upon our return. The two hour drive up (and two hours back) was very pleasant as he was both professional and personable. Getting the sofa out of the home in Petersburg was very difficult due to a tremendous amount of stuff blocking access. Scott took it all in stride and made it much less difficult than it could have been. Scott (and Sweeps) have earned my respect and thanks for a job well done!
Description of Work: Scott (a grad student at UNC) rode with me to Petersburg, VA to bring a wing back sofa back to Durham, NC.

The work took 5 hours, and they kept hard at it the whole time (except when I put them on breaks so that I could catch up to them). They were very polite and followed my directions well. I was very satisfied with their work. One of the sweepers was a bit late showing up, but had called to explain that he was buying work gloves for himself and his colleague. Since I had contracted for the job late the previous afternoon for a 10 AM start and required that they have good work gloves, that one's a little bit on me.
Description of Work: Hired two "sweepers" to clear out my parents' attic.

Each time I contacted Sweeps about a job they were very responsive and setting up a suitable time for a service appointment was quickly and easily accomplished. I can't say enough good things about Brian. He was very punctual and PATIENT...didn't roll his eyes or snicker even once at my inane questions or my pathetic attempts to type on the tiny iPhone screen. I will definitely use Sweeps again and not just for iPhone/laptop/printer issues.
Description of Work: I have actually used Sweeps twice. The first time was about 2 weeks ago after I got my first iPhone. I got help setting up email on it which proved a little challenging. I also got questions answered about some of the phone's functions and coaching in trying some of them out. Today, I got my multifunction printer hooked up for WiFi so I can airprint from the iPhone and use the scan function on the printer.

The move went very well. The two "sweeps" showed up early for the appointment, worked very hard, and completed the job in half the time I had estimated it would involve. They utilize area college students. I would again strongly recommend this company for moving assistance, or for any of the areas in which they have expertise.
Description of Work: I had a second occasion to utilize this company to help move into a new home in the Durham area. Sweeps furnished two helpers to move furniture and boxes into home.

I posted my job online and was promptly notified that the job had been accepted and everything was set up to go. Ryu and Ian arrived promptly on the scheduled day and time. After briefing Ryu, he and Ian quickly began passing all the items in the living room back up into the attic. They were wonderfully quick and careful. They even paid attention to grouping all "like items," such as Christmas stuff, all together. Packing all our household items to store temporarily in the attic to make room for the painters, took longer than I had anticipated, but Ryu and Ian were very careful about packing all the glassware and pictures. They took very good care of everything, and were pleasant, enjoyable company to boot! I will definitely use them again. This is actually the third time I've used Sweeps, (formerly know as Tarheel Student Movers), and I've had a great experience each time.
Description of Work: I had a two-part job: In preparation for recent attic insulation and flooring, I took numerous items from the attic and temporarily stored them in the living room. Once the attic work was completed, I needed help moving these items back into the attic. Also, In preparation for upcoming interior painting, I need to pack items currently on the floor, wall, off the tops of furniture, throughout the house, and temporarily store them in the attic until all the painting is finished.

It went exceptionally well. Morris, and the two "Sweeps" worked with my changing schedule to lock into a time when I arrived in Durham from Carmel, IN. As circumstances changed from my intended ETA, the two Sweeps and Morris emailed and called me to accommodate the changing schedule. Jeremiah and Taylor, the Sweeps assigned, were punctual in starting time, very thorough in their work, had great personalities, and overall provided excellent service. This is an outstanding company with a great business model based on providing a broad area of services using area college students.Pricing was very reasonable. Angie's List should keep a close watch on this company. They will be a great asset to clients with needs in the Raleigh/Durham, Chapel Hill area.
Description of Work: I am a long time Angie's List member having been a charter member with the predecessor company. Familiar with Angie's ability, I went to their website to find someone who could help with moving my daughter to a new home in Durham, NC, far away from our base in Carmel, IN. Sweeps is a great company networking with area college students to provide assistance in a wide spectrum of areas. My need was moving assistance, but I would use them for other items in the future. They provided two men for a few hours to help move items into home.Morris called me within minutes of my initial internet inquiry and worked closely over the next few weeks while my plans to arrive in Durham developed. Both "Sweeps" also used internet, telephone, and text to keep me informed.

Two young movers showed up a few minutes early and helped us move. They were extraordinarily polite and flexible (we had to change the moving time, and they were very accommodating). They were being paid by the hour, but they didn't dawdle at all, and they treated all our furniture with care. I was really glad we chose Sweeps, and I would definitely use them for moving services again.
Description of Work: Two movers helped us empty a large moving truck into a two-story house.

We have been impressed both with the efficiency of the Sweeps process for posting help requests and their streamlined payment process. We are delighted with the "Sweepers" who have done work for us. We have had Michael both times, with an additional helper, and have found them to be personable, responsible, and competent. We could not have been happier with the care with which they treated some heavy and valuable pieces of furniture. We will certainly be using them again and are looking forward to trying some of Sweeps other services.
Description of Work: We used two young men to move furniture from one room to another, move books and from the garage, and organize the garage and attic. This was the second time we have used Sweeps for the same types of services since our move from MD to Cary last November.

The pleasant surprise is that the young men are so well-mannered, well-groomed and well-spoken-traits you neither require nor expect with a moving service, but what a breath of fresh air! They were industrious, efficient and arrived promptly. What else can I say. I have recommended them to all of my realtor friends and suggested that the relocation service at my company contract them as a favorite vendor. They were just great and I can't recommend them more gingerly. Put them on speed dial! :-)
Description of Work: These young men were EXCELLENT! They were professional and courteous from the initial call all the way through follow up. Their service was seamless and I was tickled to have plucked them blindly from the list of companies. They are on my top five and I just recommended them to my husband who used them this week to help move items from his storage unit onto a U-Haul.

Overall, Sweeps did an outstanding job! The two young men that they sent, Mark and Travis, were prompt, polite and worked like madmen until all the stuff in our attic was moved down two flights of stairs into the garage. They worked hard and finished in three hours. The personalities of Mark and Travis made the job enjoyable. If you need anything moved, call Sweeps and ask for Mark and Travis. I would definitely use this service again.
Description of Work: We are planning to finish our attic and needed help moving everything out and placed in our garage. The job required the movement of 400 sq ft of furniture, boxes and mattresses.

The 2 gentlemen were puctual, polite and professional. With great care, they worked together to move all the items to the garage. We felt that the charge for the services was more than reasonable. Our expenditure includes a $25 trip charge, $50 for labor for two men for one hour (each $25 per hour) plus a $25 tip because we were so pleased. Morris, our coordinator, was easy to work with and was able to arrange our moving date promptly. We highly recommend this organization for your moving needs.
Description of Work: We were having our downstairs floors refinished and needed assistance with moving some heavy furniture to the garage temporarily. In particular, we needed some strong manpower to wrestle an armoir out the door and around the house. In addition, we had a bulky sofa, a pair of club chairs, a fragile antique hutch and several other items.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I admire Morris for making sure his customers are satisfied. The worker really knew what he was doing and that was very helpful. He was attentive to every detail (even vacuuming my son's room without being asked) and I appreciate his hard work. After this, I must say I would give Sweeps another try.
Description of Work: Because I was so dissatisfied with my moving experience with Sweeps, the owner wanted to make it up to me. The owner (Morris) is very concerned with customer satisfaction and will do what it takes to achieve it. He let me choose between a partial refund or help (since I still had lots of work left over from the move) and I chose having help. The young man who helped me was polite, careful, went the extra mile and very kind. In fact, I hired him for an additional hour. The price you see reflects the additional hour plus tip. Services performed include helping my son unpack/set-up his room, hanging very heavy pictures/mirrors (he did this expertly), placing slipcovers on furniture and various odds and ends. He did everything with high skill and a great attitude.
