Very professional, hard working and experienced. They have all the right tools and materials and wrapped everything up nicely for protection. They also strapped things in the container at the end so they don’t shift. I live on the 3rd floor without an elevator, they carried everything downstairs quickly and gently, without a scratch.

These guys worked! They communicated about arrival time and showed up on time. They worked very hard, helped make sure our stuff was protected and worked tirelessly to get things moved quickly. They had packing know how and maximized what went into our storage unit. Would definitely use them again.

Excellent movers. I highly recommend them. They are professional, diligent and super fast. I had other movers help me the prior two days and MovingZoom was by far better than the prior movers and they exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the teamwork between the two movers was phenomenal and they skillfully loaded two large moving pods.
