They did an awesome job!

Arrived on-time and finished in expected time. Very professional and respectuful of us as customers and of our belongings.. We had more items than could fix in the one POD that we had on-site so we had to prioritize packing the items inside the house so we could have our hardwood floors redone the following week. Movers worked with us to accomplish this goal and fix the maximum amount of items safely inside of the POD. All items were wrapped well and made safe for long term storage. Very sastified. When we got our second POD delivered I hired them again and made sure that I had the same team leader (Kevin) who did a great job.

The two young men that packed our furnishings and personal belongings did a great job. they worked hard from the time they got there to the time we were done. Yes, I would most definitely recommend these two young men.

The movers arrived on time. An excellent job was done however, I do have concerns with staff provided. I contracted for two helpers for four hours. I expected to get two helpers that could and would act as a team and be able to act alone without direction of what was a "lead". As a result the four hours was pretty much a bust. Sure my container was loaded, but there was still a lot left that I and my wife had to do alone. When I asked if they could stay an additional hour, no, was the reply, they had to go elsewhere. To sum it up, I expected a complete house move, and received a partial.

The guys who came to our home and moved our belongings into our POD were great! The guys called first and arrived earlier than expected( great!). They were prepared to move all our stuff and did an amazing job doing so. They were extremely respectful of our home of our stuff and of us. They were also really pleasant to talk to and were very well mannered with that perfect sense of humor which we in our household, enjoy! They deserve a 5 star rating! Thank you so very much!

My moving labor helpers arrived within the designated window, worked hard to get everything done in the two hours and did a very good job. They filled the container to handle the maximum amount of goods possible and had to deal with some large and heavy pieces. They were both very upbeat and helpful with my questions. I would most definitely use them again.

Both helpers did an excellent job at making sure that items were handled carefully and packed with safety in mind. He was even generous enough to provide some times at no cost to ensure that the antique was not moving around in the POD during travel. I highly recommend this company. Great JOB!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking, you will receive an email that provides the phone number for 5-Star Moving. We do our very best to call clients within 48 hours. However, during the busy season sometimes it’s best to contact us if you want to go over your move details!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

The movers will always call the day of your move if we are running at all behind, if you don’t hear from us this is usually a good sign, it means we are on track so try not to stress!

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Having items well boxes is the #1 time saver and a sure way to keep your bill as low as possible. If you have 1 container, expect the move to take 2 to 3 hours. If you have 2 containers expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. Remember - lamps, lamp shades, and small items should be boxed if you want them to arrive safely to your destination. Small items in general can increase the move time by double so having all these items in boxes really does help. Buy plastic wrap, straps and blankets for us.

What types of moves have you handled?

We on an average load of 60+ containers/month. Meaning our movers are extremely versed in the art of PODS loading. We also do truck work and have been in the moving industry for over 10 years. Some of our veteran loaders have been in the industry for 20+ years. Whoever shows up, rest assured you’re in good hands.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part of being a mover is the satisfaction of a job done right. We see every day poorly loaded rental trucks and POD containers, we also see the frustration from those clients who have poor experiences. We love when the client is watching with his/her eyes wide open while we wrap their valued belongings.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our team members are carefully trained. They all know and understand the price of furniture and the value. Because of this, they take extra caution when loading your items. They also expect to have the right materials to do their job properly, this is why it’s important for you, the client, to always have the 3 essentials - plastic wrap, blankets and ratchet straps (NOT ROPE!).
