Showed up on time, worked hard, and were pleasant. They packed my PODS container absolutely as full as it could go, and did it quickly and with good cheer. They were kind, good to have around, and didn’t job well. Couldn’t ask for better.

These guys were on time, showed up prepared to do the work, had experience packing a POD, were polite and worked fast and smart. They were so good I quit paying any attention. When I looked inside the POD I was amazed at how thoroughly and efficiently it was packed. They had every spaced filled in. I want to give a special shout out to Cody and Timothy. They could not have been better. They were respectful, hard working and just all round terrific young men!

Mover's response:
It was our pleasure. We just wish that the fella we moved before you could admit how good we were or that the only real issue on his move was that he didn't book enough time.

Best moving company ever. Seriously. They never disappoint and they know what they’re doing. I’ll never hire anyone else.

Half done job everything that they assembled became disabled bolts weren't tightened. Showed up without any knowledge of what the job consisted of and left before all the things I stated I need it done were completed

Mover's response:
Unfortunately, you did not book enough time to complete the job. We clearly list on our page that we cannot stay longer than prebooked time. Unfortunately, you had an unrealistic expectation that we simply didn't have time to preform. You agreed to the terms when booking then left us a bad review because we couldn't stay longer than agreed?

We had two separate deliveries on two different days and they were late for both of them. They did work hard and fast. However, they broke up our desk when they loaded it onto the dolly, the wrong way. The legs caved in and broke off from the top of the desk. The desk was part of an office set which included a matching wall unit.I reported the incident and took pictures. No one from the company has responded to my rrany request for compensation.

Mover's response:
Unfortunately, we cannot accept liability for the desk because of the type of material it is made of is prone to damage during the stress of moving. This particular desk was completely full and overloaded. The desk broke while we were handling it due to the fact that it was over loaded and falling apart. I did speak with you and informed you that based on the material it's made of we would not be able to accept liability. I welcomed you to make a claim with the understanding that it would almost surly be void based on the disclaimer that you signed. We did offer you a solution which was us bringing brackets that could be used to repaired the desk to a usable state which would have been better than not being able to be used at all. Understand that this was a courtesy on our end because the desk breaking was out of our hands. Surely you understand that it was your responsibility to have the desk empty and had the items in the desk been packed and the desk been empty this damage would not have occured. You did decline to have us repair the desk. Again, with the weight of the desk it basically folded in on itself. Particle Board furniture is notorious for that. The only real solution is to use brackets to put the few boards that chucked out back together. Again, you did not want us to attempt to make it usable, which was a courtesy.
We do sympathize with the situation unfortunately we cannot accept liability due to the unavoidable circumstances that are inevitable when dealing with particle board furnishings during moving. You will find that it is very standard practice for movers to exclude liability for this type of material.

Movers showed up on time and looked over what had to be moved and then got right to work, finished in under 2 hours and did a great job wrapping furniture with blankets and plastic to protect it. Would definitely use again.

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.
