The Cost of Moving Services in Oakland, RI

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

I hired two guys for two hours to more stuff between two houses next door to each other. I had a list that should have taken 2 days to finish. Greg and Alan arrived right on time and got to work. Two hours later the list was completed. Loyal Movers is a professional and hard working company. I will ask for them the next time. Thanks again.

Great job! Movers were very efficient, kind, and professional. Movers communicated well and addressed all needs and concerns. I would definitely use this company again and recommend to others. The team was also very prompt and moved quickly but cautiously since rain was in the forecast on my moving day.
