I wish I could give a great review for the two man team that came to load my truck. They did a lot of really hard work, that's for sure. But after the move I had a lot of damage. The "movers" were a cut above general laborers, but my one experience with Five Star Moving was not with "skilled movers." A lot of items were correctly protected and loaded and a lot of items clearly were not. So I ended up with broken glass and a lot of furniture scrapes and dings that would have been avoided by movers that actually were experienced.

I think Five Star Moving would be fine to load a truck if you are moving a lot of stuff that can't be damaged. If you are moving ordinary household goods that include wood furniture, furniture that has glass, etc., you'll need to be watching critically to make sure they protect it correctly. I noticed that they loaded differently if I was just standing there watching what they were doing. Multiple times, though, I had to tell them that metal objects or other furniture was in contact with polished surfaces. They would then get a pad and protect it and sometimes say "Yeah, I was going to do that."

If you are in a last-minute bind and need help in a hurry then they are better than nothing - you do need help loading your truck. But for what you are paying (anything through HireAHelper is pretty expensive) it's just better to plan ahead and get professional movers. A criticism: You may never see the supervisor - he drops off a couple of laborers and leaves. They are supervised only by you, so you must make sure that they take care of your stuff!

Mover's response:
SHAME ON YOU!!! Mr Roesch is being a hateful sourpuss because he believed he'd scam our insurance out of a free move! But he signed a waiver agreeing he didn't have anywhere near enough furniture pads! So now it's temper-tantrum time because HE wouldn't spend the tiny amount on protective pads! It is true you may rarely see the supervisor. He picks up & drops off crews & equip. all day long, in addition to all the many other jobs he does from sun up to well past sundown! -Signed, The Supervisor.

They were on time, prepared for the job, worked their butts off and if needed would use them again.

Mover's response:
Thank you for YOU being prepared! For thinking it's a smart choice having enough protective furniture pads. For thinking it's a smart choice paying the small amount for that protection. Thank you for your respect! WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT! Thank you for not looking down on us, like we're just laborers, or anything less than the professionals we are! Thank you for your wisdom & intelligence seeing through the few flaky reviews! But most of all, thank you for your graciousness and kindness!!!

Workers were awesome but they were 3 hours late and only put in 3.5 hours of a 5 hour job. Was able to get most of the job done but still had a several boxes left that they could not get done before 9 pm.

Mover's response:
The night before your 2 man, (3) 16' PODs unload, you switched from morning to afternoon due to refinishing your hardwood floors. Jobs were already previously scheduled for the day. We told you when you were rescheduling that we'd try to get to you at the time requested, but was totally dependent on the other jobs finishing. But there were no damages whatsoever to your floors, nor to any of your very heavy, high value furniture! And the crew would have finished up, but you didn't want them to!

Stephen and his crew did yet another fantastic job for us. Very hard work on a hot day, carrying heavy items up three flights of stairs. I would definitely recommend them, and thanks again for all of your hard work, it is greatly appreciated!

Mover's response:
Thank you for understanding our incredible value! In the last 26 years I've worked at every level of the moving industry. From small, to mid-level, to big, to the upper-echelon movers. Those who know nothing of the industry unwisely imagine that by paying 10-15%, 20-30% more that you'll get "better" movers, are in for a big $hock! To get to our guaranteed level of professional moving, you have to pay 50% or more! Seriously! BUT, if you're advised to get more pads, spend the few dollars to do it!

Five Star Moving did an excellent job and was extremely flexible with our moving schedule. They arrived ready to work and worked diligently throughout the entire job. I would definitely use them again, and in fact, I am doing so for another move coming up shortly. Thanks again!

Had a 16-ft POD loaded, and the team was great. It did take longer than expected (2 hours over), but I would recommend them to friends/family.

Mover's response:
Two movers put the contents of a 2000 sq. foot house with an upstairs & basement that has 2 bedrooms, 2 basement rooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, various closets, patio & a two car garage and fit it into one 16' POD. They did have to take time to disassemble a few things and because it's a long-style house, there was a lot of walking from one end of the house to reach the other end where the POD was located out in the driveway. But the crew never slowed down and no damages whatsoever!

These guys handled both ends of a local move, and I was EXTREMELY impressed. Particularly with a few guys (Stephen, Daniel, Jeff -- though really, they all did great). Kept at it, had great attitudes, stayed longer without complaining and were experts at packing and re-assembling. Respectful, courteous, and self-starting. Highly recommended.

Five Star did a great job moving us into our new home. Steven and Kyle worked fast and had great attitudes about their job. Special Thanks to Tracie for getting us rescheduled with short notice.

I got two guys for two hours to help me get the heavy stuff loaded in a move. They showed up on time and were professional the whole time. They were thorough and careful and worked hard and fast for the full two hours. The work they did was better and more careful than I would have been with my own stuff. I really can't say enough good things about the crew I was sent. I would absolutely recommend them over and over again.
