Overall decent work but not particularly impressed.

Mover's response:
We should've better communicated what we had to deal with. Unload frm truck, into bldg, place on floor, wait for elevator, load then unload elevator, take into Apt/ 2 men Unloading a 20ft truck (many items loose & unpacked) whilst sharing the elevator is never going to be fast despite our best efforts. With your truck 2 hours late we worked very hard in cold rain to unload b4 the cutoff point. Needed actual magic 2 b quicker

Promove was absolutely fantastic. They took care of moving everything and packed the truck incredibly well even though the truck was too small. They were great to work with and I would highly recccomend them to anyone!!

Hi, overall my team was fantastic. Dre was ten stars if i could give that rating. Bernard was hard working, but definitely a little slower. Great team though, finished quickly.

Kirk was an angel! He was so wonderful with communication and everything was absolutely perfect! I was unable to be there so my Mom was there for me and he treated her so lovely she could not say enough kind things! I would not hesitate to move again knowing that I could work with them! They are the very best!!! Thank you for such excellent service Kirk and hire a helper I am forever grateful!

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
