The movers showed up on time (maybe even a few minutes early!). They were efficient, respectful, and most importantly clean. We unloaded the truck in record time. They couldn't get the box spring up the stairs so they quickly found a way to get it through a 2nd story window!!

We choice Coffey Bros. Movers because of the excellent reviews, but we will never use them again or recommend them to anyone. We've used this site to book movers before and have had experienced with 5 moving companies in the last 3 years all with excellent experiences except for this team - they were nothing like what we expected. They arrived almost 3 hours late, the owner of all people was on his cell phone most of them time, they didn't seem to know how to move furniture effectively and dropped a couple of items on the hardwood floors causing some minor damages and decided to leave earlier than the 2 hours that we had pre-booked them for. As a result, we ended up moving a good portion of the remaining items ourselves, as we were told that they would not move anything else without getting paid for more hours. We lived on the 1st story of a home and booked 2 hours for loading only. Most of the boxes were already on the lawn, they just had to move it 10 ft to the truck... no appliances, nothing heavier than a large bookcase which we advised them ahead of time. It should have been plenty of time, but they didn't work the full 2 hours and the time when they did work, it wasn't efficient... it was spent eating, talking on the cell phone and really not much else. As a basis of comparison, just a year ago, we had a moving company based out of the Chicago's suburbs who came out to help us move. With 3 hours they moved every last item out of our 3rd story Chicago apt, drove to our new place and unloaded every last item - they were on time, professional and got the job done in a reasonable time frame. With this company, 2 hours got just a little over half of our things loaded onto a truck... In addition, we are in the process of filing a police report as over $7k worth of jewelry was missing from that move. Please be watch your movers carefully and don't take anything for granted as we were preoccupied with our children outside and next thing we knew, cherished heirlooms just vanished. Thank you.

Mover's response:
It's unfortunate Mr Earl had a bad experience with our service, we refunded him 50% of the job total in attempt to satisfy him. Occasionally we run late for moves scheduled later in the day if the morning job runs over. We never leave a job unfinished. We have a history of honesty and integrity and trust all our employees, however we'll cooperate with the Earl's and do whatever we can in attempt to help them find their lost goods.

My wife and I have used Coffey twice now, and both times they were fast, efficient and very courteous. We reviewed them positively last time, so I will only review for the second time. They showed up within the start time window. They called before 11, the beginning of the start time window, and told us their morning job was going to go a bit late. They were sure to update us again on time frame, which was greatly appreciated. We hired them to move our heavy stuff, which they wrapped to prevent breaking. They loaded up the truck we rented. They were able to fit everything in the truck with no pushing, shoving, and breaking to get it in there. After getting to our new apartment they moved everything up with no problems. It was a third story walk-up and they were even able to get our large sectional couch up a semi-narrow stairwell; no rips, or tears in it. Overall we would highly, highly, highly recommend Coffey Bros. When we move again we will use them for sure.

I hired two helpers to empty a container and bring the contents into my second floor condo. They were right on time and did the job quickly. As it was a very hot day I offered them a bottled water just in case they did not have anything. However I think my hospitality was taken advantage of as for the next two hours they contatly were asking for another bottle of water until the two of them went almost through my entire box. WHat made things worse is that instead of throwing the bottles in the recycling bin right next to where my container was they instead through them all over the garage for me to pick up later.

All in all though the service was fine, they did the job. However when the job was done the younger of the two helpers just stood and stared at me asking for his tip. I thought this was very rude of him as tipping should be at my discretion however I did give him some cash. I would use this comapny again however I will not be so hospitable. Get in, get your job done and leave.

Mover's response:
Yes it was extremely hot and humid and the guys were challenged with that aspect, and had to constantly drink water in order to work quickly and efficiently. They explained that they had a couple bottles of water and placed them on the side in order to continue working, and simply forgot to pick them up when they left because they were so fatigued. Also, after every job we simply explain to the customer that payment must be released and any tip should be paid in cash. Thank you for your business

These guys were fantastic -- I will hire them again next time I move!

I hired Coffey Bros. a few days in advance to take all the stuff in my truck up the stairs to our new place. They responded with availability, etc, within an hour, and we set up a time.

On the day of the move, the two movers showed up about 10 minutes late, but called well in advance to let me know (this was expected, as they had two moves earlier that day). When they arrived, they immediately got to work and cleared out my 19' truck in just under two hours. They didn't stop for breaks or anything (even though I offered, as our place is on the top floor). All of my furniture and belongings were treated gently; nothing was broken or even scratched.

These guys were very professional and worked very hard, even carrying heavy stuff up several flights of stairs stairs on a hot Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth the money. Amazing job, guys.

They were there right on time, got all of my furniture moved in 2 hours and were friendly and helpful!

The movers were scheduled to arrive at 10:00 and did not arrive until around 11:00; however, the owner did call several times to keep me updated on their ETA from the job before mine. The two guys worked EXTREMELY hard and got a lot of stuff down three flights of winding stairs in the allotted time. I was not pleased at how they packed the truck--a lot of my furniture was scratched when it was all done because they didn't put the pads between and stuff rubbed together. However, they worked their butts off and did not stop to talk on cell phones, smoke, or anything else that would keep them from getting done on time. I would use them again!

I did not know what to expect when utilizing hire a helper. I read the reviews of Coffey Bros and chose them for help. Ken and his helper totally exceeded my expectations. They got done 3 times as much as I thought they would. They work amazingly fast and are very proffesional. Utlimately, they drastically reduced the burden on me. I highly recommend Coffey Bros. Don't look any further, it is not worth the potential risk. This company is great and I will utilize them again.
