HIGHLY recommend. Our movers arrived 5 minutes early and were wonderful throughout the entire grueling night. They were very flexible as we had to change our move a few times, even bumping the start time up day of without issue. They were friendly, personable and determined to move some of our more awkward heavy pieces. Very respectful of all our belongings. This was my first time working with movers and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. Book them!

Pros: They showed up on time, helped us find parking, worked for the allotted time (2 hours). Cons: Were very relaxed and told us we had plenty of time and no need to rush (despite the fact our U-haul was illegally parked). Spent nearly 30 minutes trying to get a couch through the doorway (which never got through, the legs needed to be screwed off which we took care of later) and scratched up the paint/door in the process. Waited til the end for much of the big stuff (dresser, TVs, mattress, coffee table) which never ended up getting brought up and was left for my girlfriend and I. Overall: Seemed like nice enough guys that meant well but I would not use Promove again. Admittedly the large items not being finished was not entirely Promove's fault, the city elevator inspector showed up earlier than his scheduled time in middle of our move. However, had the movers shared our sense of urgency and also taken care of the large items first (as requested) then the problem would've been mostly avoided.

Mover's response:
Reviews above & below will say we are quick and efficient, we don't waste time. Your review is unfair. You blame us for not being done in time when it was out of our control. Every item was out of the truck within 1 hour even with you being late. Heavier pieces were in back of truck so had to move what was in front first (duh), & how could we know the elevator would be shut down? Your girlfriend told us to try the sofa after we said legs need to come off (took us 10 mins) then you & her tried

He guys were the best. On time and patient with me as I worked details of an extended storage space rental process. But the time we missed was easily made up with their efficient work. Kirk, as team leader was especially thorough and handked my things with ease. He even showed concerns about a few nicks that some of the funiture sustained in the previous packing of the truck. They listened to my wishes regarding how I wanted the system unit to be packed and did everything they could to make my plans a reality. But, above all, they we're super friendly and easy going. My kind of movers. Thank you.

Mover's response:
ProMove regards 4 star reviews as substandard, which is why they are always addressed, I will apologize in writing even after doing so directly and having taken steps to remedy whatever shortcomings we may have had on the job. In this instance however I do not know what else we could have done to earn 5 stars. We as usual appreciate you having hired us and taking the time to leave a review. Kirk, ProMove team lead and holder of the truck Tetris high score

Everything was fine, pretty much what I expected. Something was broken in the process, but they made up for it by not charging us for an extra hour. Overall I am happy and would use the service again.

Mover's response:
The curse of particle board. Apologies for the damaged item, we did not notice the stool leg was that loose when picking it up. Sorry again.
Kirk, ProMove team lead and truck loading gold medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympic games. Obviously not an actual olympic event, but if it was I would totally be on the podium!
