Day Worker Center of Mountain View

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.

I had intense home cleaning after electric work which left much dust and prior to painting. They moved furniture, cleaned the house and scrubbed everything in kitchen from ceiling to floors. This was my first time and I was pleased. I picked them up and returned them. I provided bottled water, orange juice, gator aide and sandwiches from Subway. I was told I should pay each one $17/hr. I gave each $20 per hr as they were better than any cleaning service I have ever had.
I am so glad I didn't get the homeless person in previous review that smelled of cigarette smoke. I can not tolerate the smoke.

I had an excellent experience working with one of the employees of day worker center of Mountain View. He arrived with all of his own tools and was very proficient in plumbing and carpentry. There were a couple of missing pieces and I gave him some money to go to Home Depot to get them and he returned promptly with the needed pieces the change and a receipt. Overall it was an excellent experience and I would definitely call on them again when I am in need of a helping hand.
All of the staff there are very helpful and kind and they are doing excellent work for all of us!!

The stuff at this center was very effective at finding the right people for the job.

They even mentioned that if for any reason the person they send is not suitable for the job you can always call them and they would be able to find you someone else right for you.

To avoid miscommunication with the helpers, I would suggest you to talk to the stuff on the desk first prior making any decisions on picking up or dropping off someone.

Maria and her team had developed a system to rate helpers.

I picked up a cleaner here this morning, she cleaned my bathroom and kitchen for 1.5 hour only! She is hard working and thankful. I took for for a in and out drive through which made her day and I feel great after doing so! I also donated some clothes to them just now! I didn't know this place gives donation receipt, I'll donate my stuff from now on ! :)

I am a volunteer here at the center and I have had the greatest experience. Everyone here is so friendly and the workers are very passionate about what they do. They always put 100% into their work and it shows. I would recommend using the center more than anyone else because they are very skillful and in addition using the center helps out workers who are in need of work.

I wish I could write a more positive review. I have had very mixed success with this center. Although I live in Sunnyvale, on the Mountain View line, I'm now going to San Jose for my workers. The first worker I hired was WONDERFUL, but I've been unable to get him back. The next one I hired insisted I bring in his friend. They installed drywall, which it turns out they installed upside down in many places. They also spent a great deal of time chatting and not working. Lastly, they installed many small pieces that basically fell down.

I know how to install drywall myself but unfortunately had a bad ankle sprain. I ended up having to take down much of the work and redoing it OR trying to compensate for the shoddy work in my skimming. It was far more work than having just done it myself. What a waste of hundreds of dollars.

The next time I tried to hire someone, I shut down my AirBnB for a week to accommodate the work to be done. The night before the worker was supposed to show up, he cancelled due to another job. All the center did was apologize.

I've used the Day Worker Center many times and ALWAYS have an exceptional experience. From Anna and Maria in the office to the various workers themselves, the Day Workers Center comes through for me every time. I have my own business assisting people with organizing their lives and I frequently need extra hands to help a client move, clean-up, downsize, etc. Being able to call the Day Worker Center and knowing I'll get hard working and trustworthy individuals helps me provide better service to my clients.
I would highly recommend this organization to anyone needing any kind of assistance. It's a five star winner.
