This is the second time we have used Doug and his crew. Excellent job ! They took care in preparing our belongings, and our house, when moving the items. The crew was on time, and was willing to stay until the job was done. Doug and his team were very accommodating with our suggestions and worked diligently to assure the protection of our goods and everybody on site. We have already recommended Melancon to others, and we have used them twice...

Mover's response:
James,

It was truly a pleasure working with you and your wife. Your business was greatly appreciated, and I wish you all the best as you start the next chapter of your life down in Florida. Thank you for two 5-star reviews! Take care.

Doug anhis sons were excellent. Thoughtful of my items, and cleaning their feet, from any items from walking on a damp sidewalk. I was blown away for how caring they were of my items. I plan to use Doug and his sons this summer, for I have items in Marshfield Missouri. Their kindness will be forever grateful for how caring they were........Thanks!!!!!

I was very pleased with Melancon Services. They packed my rental truck very well for the long trip 1300 miles. No damage was noted on any item and they packed the truck as full as possible. They were very careful in the house. They worked very well together. I appreciated their work ethic and plan to use them in phase 2 of my move ! I would recommend them to others.

The Melancon movers are a Father and 2 Son operation. They have a very organized method of moving your things. The sons carried the furniture items and boxes out to, in my case, PODS, and the Father packed them. The rooms were staged like one room at a time as best as could be done. The family are quiet and respectful of each other and to me. They were easy to have in my house and with my things. They clocked out when they took breaks. They were big and strong and moved the heavier things with ease. Yes, they did work hard and stayed on the task. They are insured and careful with my things. Yes I would highly recommend them for moves big and small. Sandra M Powell Champaign,Il. PS It is important the client be prepared with the items ready for the movers when they come. For example, blankets, polyester twine, shrink wrap, etc.. Doug, the owner with give you a list to have available to them for moving day.
