I am NOT good with tools or assembly. At all. I try and end up either making it worse or destroying. This being said, I decided to let a 'professional' hang a floating shelf I got to use as a mantle. I had recommended Sweeps to my mom and she loved them so I thought why not? Making the appointment is SUPER easy. You tell them the job, how long you think it will take and how many guys you need. I didnt think I needed more than 1 person to hang a shelf nor that it would take too long. Enter William, a super nice college kid who was a little early and got the job done quickly. The whole process was so awesome I may have to rethink my decor to be able to hire more of these wonderful people! read more

Sweeps - See my gorgeous mantle? - Movers Near Me

Understand that this service is only as good as the person who accepts your job. I paid $40/ hr for their late time and the cumulative half hour + they stood around chatting. They broke the leg off a chair and I had no idea until I took the chair out of storage. Never told me. So no responsibility. More expense. Their time wasn't worth $15/ hr much less $40/ hr each! Never again. read more

I am not someone who spends his money frivolously, so when my girlfriend suggested we get movers for our apartment and the small amount of items we have for an upcoming move I was not a fan. I sent out a dozen or so requests to all the movers around town and I was getting quotes like $1500 for something I could do myself in a couple of hours. Enter Sweeps. I sent a request for a quote to get 2 movers for an hour worth a work and at $35 an hour for each person I thought now this is more like it. Two guys, Keith and Tyler, took the job and I received an email with their phone numbers. I sent a message a couple of days before and they both said they would be on time. Moving day comes and both guys show up on time and in one hour we knocked out 5 pieces of furniture and some boxes. I gave them a tip for the care they took with my stuff and they went on their way. This is the way a move should be. Quick, easy, painless, and affordable. In addition the owner responded very quickly through Yelp to help me understand how Sweeps works and to answer my questions. I am a big fan of this company now after using them. read more

I used two sweepers over the weekend to help me load my U-Haul. They were really nice and very helpful. These guys were very hard working. They didn't take a break. My only complaint maybe the pay for these guys. Can they get $25/hr? College students don't have a lot. I use to be one. The pay module seems off to me that the company makes more then the poor guys who do all the lifting. After 2 hours, the movers walk away with only $60 out of the $140 I paid the company! Come on guys! (Revamp the pay for these sweepers) Please tip your sweepers! read more

I love sweeps! I use them all the time. I think it is a brilliant idea. The website is also extremely well thought out and really easy to use. You just post any odd job, and usually within the same day "sweepers" are awarded your job. They even have a "live chat" that you can use. The folks at sweeps also understand that things change and are flexible with cancellations/changes. It is important to remember that you are paying for college students to do odd jobs such as moving, assembling furniture, etc, so if you are looking for the highest level of professionalism perhaps look elsewhere (that is not to say that the sweepers are not professional!) It's also one of the few honest businesses that do odd jobs. One time, I was having a couch moved, and there was damage done to the walls by the sweepers. They were excellent about taking responsibility for it, and sent someone over to repaint the walls immediately. I was so pleasantly surprised because I have dealt with much older people who would try to wipe their hands clean of the blame. The only other issue I faced was one sweeper who blatantly asked for a tip, when I didn't have cash (I was going to tip online), and ended up taking more than I was trying to give him. However when I contacted sweeps about this issue, they fixed it right away. read more

I worked for Sweeps for two years. As a female, I can't say I did a moving job ever, but everything else as an odd job I completed. I worked to help people with many events, such as a Weddings and parties, I cleaned many apts and houses, and I taught people how to utilize different types of cell phones along with tricks about Macs and PCs. I graduated from college with a bachelors in something that was basically impossible to find a job in due to the bad economy. Sweeps hired me even though I wasn't a college student and I was able to learn more about myself and my skills. After working for Sweeps for a year and a half; I decided it was time to find a career for my personal growth. In every interview I always got asked about Sweeps from listing it on my resume and the different tasks I completed for them. I explained to prospective employers the different problem-solving techniques I learned in working with people and the importance of customer service I consistently worked to provide; most prospective employers were amazed at how many different things I had learned to do incorporating the importance of customer service. If you are a college student looking to broaden your work experience, network, and make a little money on the side; I would highly recommend working for Sweeps. read more

As I look through the positive reviews I realize most of them are in regard to Sweepers who helped during a move. Perhaps I should have hired them to move my stuff, rather than clean my kitchen. I hired a Sweeper for a move-out clean for my kitchen and on the day of the appointment she canceled 30 mins. before she arrived. Morris was great in getting two people to reschedule for the next day. I moved out that night, headed out of town, and expected them to clean according the instructions I left in the comment section of the job posting. After I paid for the service a few days later my property manager sent me photos of the kitchen which had not been cleaned appropriately. I contacted Morris and he got two more people there the next day to clean. I assumed that after 4 Sweepers had been through the kitchen that it would be clean. My property manager sent more photos documenting the job had not been done after the second time and ended up contracting out to a professional company to handle the job. So I ended up having to pay for two companies to clean the kitchen. Morris was good about communicating and scrambling to fix things when I reached out, although I never heard back after I sent an email this week informing them the job just hadn't been completed after a second round. I clearly can't give them more than two stars when I had to pay for work that wasn't completed and it set my tenants back a day when we had to get another company in to clean. I do believe this company of college students is probably great at moving, tech help, yard work, etc., but professional cleaning, at least from my experience with them, is not one of their strong skills. read more

I had to move a small-ish amount of stuff out of one apartment into another in the same complex... I say small-ish because this move included a few small dressers, a few boxes, and also a queen mattress and box spring. I was worried about moving the bed. We had no truck and were hoping to strap it onto our car. Luckily, this wasn't a problem for the Sweepers assigned. One of them had an SUV and he was so gracious and offered to help us by using it for the bed! They loaded the mattress on top, held on with their arms, and hiked it over to my new place. I was amazed that it worked but it did! Both sweepers were very nice, young, strong guys. We were happy to tip them well for a job well done. I would happily hire Sweeps again for our next move. On top of the Sweepers being efficient and friendly, the price was very reasonable. read more

I hired sweeps to move me into my one bedroom apartment and the process was smooth and amazing! The online system makes hiring very easy. I like that I don't *have* to speak to someone on the phone, if I don't want to. The two guys that showed up were punctual and took great care with my things (including a very heavy marble table). They worked until the job was done and I have never been more satisfied with my movers. I received the invoice, gave it the once over, and my card was charged. Easy! I will definitely be using the service for other things. Thanks Sweeps! read more

Student quality work at unreasonable rates. Both yard and maid services failed to complete the simple and explicit instructions I provided. Rake the yard, and bring a rake. They finish and inform me they didn't have a rake to do driveway-wtf.... I'm sorry you cant possibly run a yard service without a rake. Also, don't bother coming if you can't complete the job. As for maid, this was worse. She used all purpose cleaner on my wood dinner table, forgot to vacuum, left dirty dishes in sink, and didn't clean shower. I'm legit angry and this place sucks. Hire a professional that needs to feed a family, because they'll work like they mean it and know what they are doing. read more

Wow. Started as the worst day ever. Couldn't find my driver license for a 530am flight. Had to take my passport to get on the plane which I just made. Had to beg the rental car agency to give me a car with a passport instead of the driver license. Get to my destination where I am supposed to meet 2 women to clean my apartment before giving it back to the landlord and do a walk through 4 hours later. As I get to the house she calls and said she fell down a flight of stairs and can't make it. Now I have to start scrambling to find a cleaning agency on short notice. Sweeps to the rescue. As the apartment was empty and I had no computer Emily was kind enough to take my info down and post the job online. She also texted her contacts to see if they could do it. Within 15 minutes Chris calls and said he would be there in 30 min. He knocked out the job that the other agency was gonna send 2 people to do in the same amount of time. He did a great job and the apartment passed inspection. And Sweeps was 50 dollars less than their competitor. Bravo job well done. Day finished on a positive note. read more

GREAT Easy interface online. Polite and easy to work with in person. Every city should have a Sweeps! read more

We've used SWEEPS many times over the years for yard work, cleaning and various odd jobs and we've been more than satisfied with the quality of work. For all jobs other than cleaning they rate 5 stars. As for cleaners, if you're a precision cleaner (neat freak) yourself, you're better off hiring a professional. In any case, write a checklist for them so they know what you expect them to do and mention the highlights. Management is on the ball making sure SWEEPers get here on time and fulfill your requirements. If they use your lawnmower/grass trimmer/leaf blower/cleaning supplies, you pay less than if they have to scrounge up the equipment themselves. I've found that SWEEPers are reliable, hard working people with a can-do attitude. Highly recommended! read more

These guys are absolutely the best - incredible service. Helped me move out of my storage unit in less than an hour. No surly movers looking to round up hours here! read more

Very quick & easy and efficient to contact and make an arragement for workers; I experienced all the good follow through one may expect from an established firm of much greater size and history. The 2 fellows who arrived were personable, friendly and communicative. They did the work with joy and good spirit, finished on time and did an excellent job. I have nothing but praise for the experience and will not hesitate to look up Sweeps again when needed. A+++ read more

I love Sweeps! Scheduling is easy, the workers are pleasant, prompt, and professional, and charges are reasonable. So far I've called on the company twice, both times to help me move large items into storage. I've worked with the same dynamic duo each time -- Connor and Keith. They're capable, efficient, careful, good problem solvers, and able to navigate the labyrinth of Public Storage without getting lost (as I always do). I expect to use this company again and again. read more

As I had completely exhausted my reserve of "help me move" friends, I wanted help moving my two-story townhouse to a second-story apartment a few miles away. The cheapest moving companies were a minimum of $299, and that was only if you stayed under 3 hours. Instead, I reserved two Sweepers, Ben and Ty, to help and rented a U-Haul. The move took a bit more than 3 hours, mostly because Ben and Ty busted their tails moving my stuff very quickly--it could have easily taken 5 hours. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I didn't lift a thing. At the end, it cost me half what the other companies would have charged. I will definitely use them again in the future! read more

Jake was a huge help to me. I needed to finish a patio to surprise my girlfriend before she got back from out of town. He was on time, friendly, hard-working, and efficient with his work. He even suggested other things I could do to make the surprise better! I look forward to hiring more Sweepers in the future. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this company. I hired them to help me move and the entire process was very efficient. I did not have a lot of stuff to move so when I was looking around at major moving companies and getting quotes for $600-$800 it just seemed a little ridiculous. Then I was told about sweeps and the amount I was charged for them was so much cheaper and the guys that helped me move did a phenomenal job. I requested 3 guys to help me and they were all very polite and very hard working. I was moving out of an apt and my bedroom was a loft room up a spiral staircase. These guys had to get creative to get all my stuff down without damaging anything and they did not disappoint. I will absolutely use this company again in the future! read more

New to town and had to move some furniture cross town, called a moving company and got quoted $250 flat rate for it. Called sweeps, a student named Jeremiah came and helped me out. Great job, was timely, efficient, friendly. What else can u ask for. Next time I'm moving something, or needs some odd jobs done, I am definitely hiring Sweeps again. The manger, Morris, was fantastic in arranging the time and people. Great experience overall. Definitely a fan. read more

Sweeps is totally awesome! Used them to move stuff from our storage unit to our house and they were very kind, courteous and just fun to be around during a move. I highly recommend Sweeps - they are trustful, honest, and a great company! Much cheaper than using a big moving company and just as good! read more

I can't say enough about this company. I have used them for a number of moves and I am always satisfied and impressed with the people who complete the jobs. They are professional, efficient, thoughtful and most important timely! Plus you can be sure your money is going to help a good cause, students or recent grads. I highly recommend them! read more

The two Sweepers that did my move were awesome! They were professional, fast, got everything into one Relocube (instead of 2) and packed it tightly. (Relocubes are like Pods). It was also an unbelievably hot day and they still made it happen. I would recommend Sweeps to anyone! read more

This was our first experience with Sweeps and we definitely plan to be repeat customers. The two gentlemen we hired to help us move arrived on time, were professional, efficient and hard-working. I've hired professional movers in the past and they charge twice as much for half of the effort. We also liked how you can post and pay for the job online. Highly recommend hiring Sweeps! read more

Alex and Ty are awesome. We moved two relo containers into one storage in 2hrs. Both are quick and strong. We stack boxes and other stuff high to fit everything into one storage. Will hire them again for my next move to a new house. Enjoy every min workIng with them. read more

This is probably the worst business to move you in or out of your home. The work crews are very unreliable and arent fit for the jobs they do. VERY unprofessional like. read more

SWEEPS left me in the lurch - big time! I signed up for Sweeps moving services about 4 days before the move & they confirmed it immediately. (the person on the other end sounded very young... almonst childish). They sent out 3 promotional emails based on the confirmation. So far, so good, right? Then, the day before the big move, they called & Said "We're not going to be available for your move" I asked why. NO ANSWER. NOTHING. I said, you are putting us in a very tough spot - Why are you doing this? Why are you cancelling? What's going on? NO ANSWER. Well, they didn't show, and had to hurriedly find another moving company (which was another fail...). Based on this experience, I'd call the company incompetent and pathetic read more

I didn't actually use their services but they replied to my Yelp message within 10 minutes on a Saturday so that's something.

I had seen a dining set on NextDoor that was exactly what I wanted. The sellers were moving and wanted it out of the house FAST. I am short, 60, drive a Corolla, and I'm relatively new in town so I had no one around who could help. I called Sweeps, and got a call back within MINUTES on a Sunday. Connor and Brandon showed up for the pickup on time with a pickup truck, brought blankets to keep from damaging the set, brought it to my house and even arranged the chairs. I've seen some iffy reviews here for cleaning and big moving, but for small jobs like this Sweeps is a Godsend. Really nice people, great service. I got a great dining set for half of what it would have cost me new. What a great concept! I will definitely call them again! read more

They found some great guys to move our stuff in a timely manner. I'm so glad for this service, it really comes handy.

I probably should have consulted Yelp BEFORE contacting Sweeps; however I was in a bind and they seemed a possible solution as I had two big pieces of refrigeration equipment that I needed to move. As it turns out, they were the perfect answer to my dilemma and best of all, they solved my problem within hours of being contacted. They may be college students but their attitude and approach was completely professional. read more

I just moved to the Triangle area from NYC and I used Sweeps to help me transport some furniture I purchased on Craigslist to my new home. Everyone involved was so helpful, efficient, professional and friendly, plus the price was extremely fair. I can't recommend these guys enough! I would absolutely use Sweeps again, it was a great experience. read more

When we moved a while ago, we hired sweeps. When the came, they asked us what to do, how to do it, and then gets started. They do everything you ask, and are very very friendly. Great job! Keep it up guys!! read more

They came right on time, were cheerful despite having to move heavy furniture, they moved furniture carefully without scratching walls. Overall a wonderful experience read more

After dealing with a bogus mover I appreciate this company more. I had a short loading job from a storage unit. All items were carefully loaded and packed. The helper was adequate for the job but it could have gone faster if he had more training about how to pack. However, it finally got sorted out and there was no damage to the items. read more

Sweeps Seriously Rocks Chapel Hill!!!!! If I could give them TEN stars, I would without a second's hesitation. Morris was excellent and attentive at lining up Sweepers to help us move. Every single sweeper showed up on time and worked hard from start to finish--very careful but lightning fast, attentive to details, personable and friendly, and oh, so polite. I have sat here trying to think if ANY part of the Sweeps experience was negative and it was seriously ten star service all the way. Yeah, Sweeps! We'll be back time and again! read more

I use sweeps every so often for cleaning, moving, or gardening. It is a luck of the draw situation, but in general I would say that you do need to specify very clearly what you want done and how. And if you put it in the ad, so much the better. For example, I got Sweeps to move a bed. I provided bags for the mattresses. They put them on but didn't tape them, and in transit it started to rain. Naturally, the mattresses got wet as the bag opening blew around. Any regular mover would have known to seal the bag but you can't count on that with Sweeps. So I've learned to give careful instructions, but on the other hand, have always had courteous service, and some excellent cleaning and moving. It's a great odd-job source. read more

Sweeps is nothing short of awesome. My "sweeper" was Richard P., who was on time, polite, friendly and super helpful. I loved how easy it was to submit a job online and the turnaround time was so quick! The Sweeps concept is truly brilliant and I'll definitely be using them again and again. read more

Thank goodness for Sweeps! I use them all the time. I have not used them for cleaning but have called them to help with moving, organizing, yard work and many other odd jobs around my home. The website is easy to use and booking a "sweeper" is quick and worry-free. Each time, the staff have been reliable, hard working, and friendly. The team at the office provide great customer service! I appreciate the variety of jobs they can accomplish and the many ways they have helped me over the years. I recommend them wholeheartedly! Thanks Sweeps! read more

We had four Sweepers help us move out of our place in Carrboro. They were punctual, polite, friendly, and very hard workers. I would absolutely use this service again. read more
