(5) 10/20/2015 Renton

The movers arrived 15 minutes early and was very professional through out the move. It was a trying day for me with a family emergency and they took control of the move/packing so I would not have any worries and I thank them most of all for that. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for your next move, 5 stars.

Highly satisfied customer.

P.S. - They finished on the contracted amount of time.

Mover's response:
CT, as with anything we know moving can be a hectic time and I'm glad you were able to handle your family affairs and that we were able to get everything done for you and everything worked out for the best.

Couldn't be happier - They were a bit early, and worked very quickly yet carefully at the same time. Made ALL the difference in the move, and probably some of the best moving related money I spent.

They were on time and worked hard to complete the move within the shortest time possible. I would infinitely use them again.

The guys were on time, courteous and respectful of what they were moving. Some constructive criticism: be mindful of how the boxes are marked. When it says kitchen, place box in/near kitchen, not in bedroom etc.
Otherwise, the guys were friendly and professional; they really hustled!

We had a limited amount of time to move into our new place because it took us so long to find an apartment. We had to have the uhaul back by 4 pm and had the helpers come at 2 pm. Those boys worked really hard to get everything unloaded in time! I was very happy. It was money well spent!

They were on time
They were prepared
They worked REALLY hard
They were kind and respectful
I would absolutely hire them again!

Mover's response:
Our goal is always 100% customer satisfaction and I'm very pleased we were able to get you moved in on short notice, it's what we specialize in. I hope you enjoy your new home and thank you for your review of our services.
