Rent A Helper Moving

What Rent A Helper Moving does

Rent A Helper Moving & More is a privately held, Verona, New Jersey-based residential moving services company founded in 2005. It provides local and long-distance household moving, professional packing, furniture and specialty-item transportation (including pianos and antiques), senior relocation services with estate management support, and ancillary offerings such as TV and artwork mounting, chandelier installation, furniture delivery, and labor-only services. All moves are executed by the company's own uniformed employees — there are no subcontractors or third-party carriers — which is positioned as the central differentiator versus larger, broker-driven competitors.

The company operates a labor-driven service model rather than a technology platform. Its core assets are a fleet of moving vehicles, specialized equipment (padded blankets, furniture wraps, custom crates, piano moving gear), and trained personnel. There is no proprietary software, API, or mobile app; customer acquisition runs through a Wix-hosted website with online quote/booking forms, a published phone line (973-747-7098), local SEO pages covering 50+ New Jersey towns, a blog, and organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Revenue is generated on a per-move, quote-based model with hourly billing ($25–$50 per mover per hour for local jobs) and flat rates for longer-distance work, supplemented by discounts for college students, seniors, and veterans. The company is licensed in New Jersey (license #39PM00112301), serves eight NJ counties plus the broader Tri-State Area, and maintains a 4.9/5 Google rating across 38 reviews. It is independently owned with no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in the public record.
