Horrible, do not use this company! They caused thousands of dollars in damages to my property and new home (broken furniture, damage to the walls, trim, and ceilings).They arrived with the wrong sized truck and barely any equipment, because of that they had to make 2 trips. They then charged me 3x what was quoted because it took them so long to make 2 trips. It was an uncomfortable and terrible experience.

Mover's response:
Thanks for your review as I stated to you over the phone we go off your invoice you booked a 10ft truck an that’s what we brought we do not get to see what’s in your home until we get there. We did not pick this truck or book this job Ms Kate you did all we did was bring everything you requested. I apologize if you under estimated the size of your home. Yes it did take longer due to the size of your truck you requested. You needed a 20ft truck. You Request we bring a 10ft truck. we confirmed months as well as weeks in advance to make sure we wouldn’t have any issues.

Our problem with the move was not with Lucas Moving unless Lucas Moving was responsible for selecting the size vehicle for the job . We advised Hire A Helper that the move was from a one bedroom apartment to another one bedroom apartment. Hire A Helper sent Lucas with too small a truck which added significant travel time and tripled the price that we believed the move would cost . We will not be using Hire A Helper’s service in the future and will be posting a very negative review on the Hire A Helper web site . We were very disappointed in the service and subsequent incremental costs .

I hired three professional movers for three hours to move furniture within my house. Three people arrived on time with good communication.. There were two men and a woman. The two men were polite, strong, hard workers but they were not totally professional. I requested that they use moving blankets that I provided on the furniture but had to remind them to use them. I had to suggest that they remove the legs of the dining room table before trying to get it around a difficult corner, and while I removed the legs from a love seat that would not fit through a doorway, they stood and watched me. They avoided trying to move a sofa bed and love seat. The third professional mover was not particularly strong, did not work hard, and did not move a single piece of furniture that I could not have moved myself.(I am 77) I did not hire professionals to only move things that I could have done myself. I expected three strong professionals to work consistently for three hours.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your review. Yes you did hire 3 professional movers. You did tell us some of the furniture parts that comes off because it is your furniture. If we don't know it comes off we have to ask. You hired 3 movers for 3 hrs to rearrange your whole 3 story home. Which was completed. We do apologize we didn't have time to get to the detached garage of things you wanted moved into the home as well. As we were moving furniture in a cluttered home from floor to floor, disassembling and assembling as well as allowing you to dust and wipe down before putting items you can not reach back together. Also moving it once in the room you wanted from wall to wall until you found where you wanted it to stay. When you took apart the legs on the love seat(you were on the last leg) we were just coming from the 1st floor from taking a couch that barely fit down the steps without damaging anything. We moved the sofa bed and love seat close to last to have room to adjust to prevent from damages and injuring ourselves. Also while 2 movers move items that needed 2 movers the 3rd mover moved items that only 1 mover can move alone to prevent damages. Which they also rotated. Your whole 3 story home was rearranged and set back up to your liking. You even admitted before starting that you didn't realize how much stuff you had on your 20 min tour and you said you'll show us the garage when we're done because you didn't think we would make it there anyway.

I had a great experience moving with this company. They were ready a little while before my 2pm window, so they arrived early. They were careful with my furniture, including my couch which was difficult to disassemble. They were efficient and respectful of my belongings. I especially appreciated their hard work considering my new apartment's very steep stairs and narrow hallway. I would use their services again.
