John 3:16 Movers Profile Image

This is the second time I’ve hired John 3:16 Movers and would recommend them to anyone. The team works fast yet carefully, and does an excellent job with visualizing where things need to go in the moving van/pod. This job was for loading a storage pod and things fit perfectly like a puzzle - the team unloading at the other end commented on how well everything was stacked. I would use them again!

Outstanding work! Hired two folks for two hours - kept them busy the whole time unloading an 8x8x16 PODS and lugging the boxes to various rooms. Never complained, never slowed down. Can't thank them enough for the muscle.

They did a great job unloading the trailer for us. We got a lot of the little stuff and they emptied the heavy stuff in about half the time I alotted. I dont regret the extra time I wasn't sure. Unloading requires less time than loading, keep that in mind. Otherwise, very polite, flexible with appointment time, and very efficient!
