Robert and his team arrived on time, introduced themselves and asked for a tour of the house to familiarize themselves as to where items would be moved to. They were very careful not to damage items or any walls or floors in the house. They were very patient when asked to move an item to a different location. (oops we labeled that wrong please move it to --- not a regular occurrence but still extra work!) They WORKED and did not take breaks!) They moved some big heavy items with no problems.
I would recommend them to anyone and I would use them again.

I hired 3 guys to help me move a piano up stairs. One of the guys had recently been in a car accident and could not lift or easily climb stairs. Another had nerve damage in his hand and struggled with strapping things.i felt bad for them and did the majority of the heavy lifting myself. It was not the experience I thought I was paying for.

They started on time. They were very courteous. They worked steadily. They were knowledgeable about the best way to pack and unpack. They went above and beyond what we asked. In addition to this they treated the furniture with great care. I have used moving labor help in two household moves and these guys are the best of them all. I would highly recommend them in the future.
