      I spoke with Carla several times to help us with a painting job and I had the pleasure of working with Isabel and Roque - these ladies are angels and the workers are hard working folks who are incredibly kind and efficient. Please give the Day Worker Center of MV a chance at your next project. Our experience with them was exceptional in every way.

      I needed furniture to be moved from in the house to outside patio so that floor could be reconditioned. I had 2 of the workers from the Center move the furniture out on a Friday and then bring the furniture back in on Monday.
      Both days the workers were on time and completed the work in an efficient manner. The administrative staff were friendly and also efficient. This is the first time I've used the Center and would do so in the future.

      I hired 2 workers to help move furniture. They both did an excellent job and I will use them again when I have an opportunity. I have used the Day Worker center for years and have had only a superb experience.

      First time to use the Day Worker Center with great results. Miguel helped quickly move and spread a huge pile of mulch from the driveway to the front and back yards. Excellent job at a fair price. The center makes the process easy and efficient capably coordinating a 6 hour job for me same day.

      I was getting quotes for $400 up from various gardening/ landscaping companies to clear shrubs out of a 20'x20' yard. On a neighbor's recommendation I contacted the day worker center of Mountain View. They sent over Carlos and Lewis who completed the work within 2 hours, brought their own tools and truck. They worked hard and did an excellent job. At $25/hour per person , I ended up spending a fraction of what it would have cost me otherwise. I highly recommend them for your next project.

      The workers I have hired from here have been excellent. I have used different workers over many years, mostly to move heavy stuff, but there are many trained workers also. https://www.dayworkercentermv.org/

      Since moving to the bay area four years ago, I have used laborers for yard work from the DWCMV eight or nine times and they have never disappointed.

      Positives:

      -Most of the guys who work there treat it as a second job. They don't just blow in to town for the short term. In fact, yesterday I had some guys come haul wood, and one of the workers (Favian) had been here before about a year ago. So, it just feels so much safer than having a few guys pile in to your car at Home Depot.

      -Treated right, they work hard!!

      Negatives:

      -Arranging travel to and from the center can be a bit of a hassle. I usually send an Uber and since I am in Los Gatos that can add about $60 to the daily fee, and then I call them with a description of the car when the Uber arrives. But I don't pay wages while they are in the Uber.

      -I wouldn't recommend the center for skilled labor. It is probably too difficult for them to match up your requests with their labor force. On any given day, they may not know who will show up.

      Other notes:

      -I usually pay them $20 an hour, and I buy them lunch and pay their wages during lunch. If it is super hot or they work exceptionally hard, I usually give each guy an extra 20 to 50 bucks at the end of a 7- or 8-hour day.

      -The guys really prefer longer days. There isn't much interest in coming to you for just 2 hours. So I wait until I have a full day. Furthermore, I have found that when you request more than one worker that they work really well together and stay happy and motivated. Teamwork is the key!

      -Lastly, if you treat them with respect, you will reap dividends. Let them take breaks, offer water, and let them know about access to the bathroom. I have had laborers who were government workers, professors, and tradesman back in their home countries. And don't be afraid to roll up your sleeves and work with them. These aren't just guys you can throw out in the hot sun to work back-breaking labor while you sip lemonade in the shade. :-)

      I needed some help to move big pieces of furniture in and out of my apt on the same day. I was getting new carpet installed and it was on a weekday, so hard to have friends help. I reserved online for 2 workers in the AM and 2 workers in the PM. They came, moved my stuff in less than an hour and even made sure there were pads to cover the pieces that needed to be protected.
      The guys were pleasant, professional, courteous and very nice. I was home alone and I never felt threatened or unsafe as a single woman. I am going to have the day worker center paint my spare room, and hang my TV!!!
      I am so pleased to have great workers available and support my community at the same time!!
      THANKS GUYS!!!!

      What a waste of money these day workers are. After 2 days and $500 with 2 of their workers attempting to put together a child's climbing frame, we have 4 unsteady poles erected. That's it. That's all. Have never been so ripped off or disappointed. These people are clowns. Look at the photo. THAT took 2 full days. Do not hire people from here unless you're just doing it for the charity.... because useful they are not.

      We needed some extra help demoing our flooring, and I finally found the Day Worker Center on Yelp after being disappointed with other online options. The Center was very professional and contacted me right away with a match, and the worker who helped us was very hard working and courteous. We ended up hiring him again for an extra day so that we could "power through" the renovation work.

      We really like the concept of the Day Worker Center (vs hiring someone off the street at Home Depot), since it provides a safe environment for both parties, with wages set/negotiated up front, and with 100% of the monies going to the worker. Would definitely recommend the Center and use them in the future.
