The two young men that came were friendly, worked hard, were very careful with our things and had the pod loaded in less than two hours. We were very, very pleased. Would highly recommend them.

We had 2 movers Tony and Dakato. They showed up on time at about 815 and at 1015 told my daughter anything we touch now is overtime and charged by the half hour. I had paid and booked 3 hours. Also I realize it was alot as it was 3 flights of steps but I was up front about that. I feel like for every trip down the steps they took a smoke break or drink break. I felt like Tony was condescending when he said several things. So it was an ok experience. It was help to get heavy things in the truck. Which was not packed properly as the big heavy things should have been loaded after the attic of the truck was.

Mover's response:
I can assure you that we were NOT taking excessive breaks as you suggest. Infact, we rarely EVER take breaks on ANY move for that matter. We literally stop for nothing more than a quick drink of water when needed and we always keep our cooler close by the back of the truck when working. Additionally, you were located on the 3rd floor down a hall way with another long walk at the foot of the stairs to get to the truck. It took on average about 3 minutes per load down to the truck and that was drop and go loads down. Keep in mind all items are also strategically loaded to fit which also takes time as well,, so it can be expected that some trips down I may be gone ten minutes working my magic in the truck, definitely does not mean Im down there smoking-I dont even smoke. Also, we always let our customer know when we are close to our minimum time and that moving forward will cost extra. We feel most folks like to know in advance that they will be being charged additional fees. You argued with me about how you thought I should pack the truck the entire time and I definitely felt this review coming from a mile away. You and your family were very hostile with each other and with us and we felt very uncomfortable the entire time.. My partner and I considered calling the whole thing off several times during the 3 hours we were there and held the right to do so considering the hostile (and unsanitary) environment that we were being subjected to. You had an additute with me from the moment I walked in and even more so after I mentioned that the 14ft rental truck that you provided was too small to adequately accommodate the move. After some how miraculously fitting basically all of the items into your truck ( and some into your suv and mini van) you claim it was packed improperly?? I'll let the fact that I've been professionally loading trucks since 2007 and the fact that you reserved a 14 foot truck for a 3 bedroom move speak for itself. Thanks for the feedback!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking with us you can expect a phone call from our offices just to reach out and get a feel for your unique situation. We will go over all needed supplies and firm up all the details.

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

Upon moving day you will receive a call from your movers within an hour of your booked arrival window. The movers will reach out just to make sure everything is still going according to plan and will give you their expected GPS arrival time. We know that nothing is more stressful than being nervous that the movers aren't gonna show up, so we like to put your mind at ease.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

If you will be hiring us to load your rental truck, trailer or portable shipping container it is imperative that you provide an adequate amount of moving blankets, plastic stretch wrap and rope to avoid serious damage to your items. The blankets can usually be rented with your truck or portable shipping container and are worth every penny. We can provide rope and plastic wrap for an additional fee or it can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot in the moving supplies section.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have handled literally every type of move from local to long distance, from household to office/commercial. We have handled everything from medical equipment to flight simulators and we are equipped to move large items such as pianos and grand pianos.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part about being movers is that we get to help someone with literally the hardest and most stressful task of their adult life.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our crew leaders are required to have a minimum of 4 years professional moving experience and upon hire, undergo at least 2 weeks of training with the owner of the company (a very particular veteran mover in the industry) before being set free to operate independently. All crew members undergo the same training and we typically only hire crew members who possess at least 2 years minimum professional moving experience. We don't send rookies, period.
