Jorge and Koby were super careful with our furniture. We moved into a 3-story house and originally we expected it would take more than 2 hours to unload a 16 ft bin because of the stairs. However, they completed the job within 2 hours. They are professional and I would definitely recommend their 5-star service!

Mover's response:
it was a pleasure to assist you with your move.

The helpers were very efficient, friendly, and thorough. They arrived on time, followed our slightly annoying instructions, and were careful with our fragile items. I’d definitely use them again!

They were okay. I had them just to help pack up a uhaul truck. They said they would come with wrap and a dolly. They did not have the wrap when they came and asked if they would need a dolly. I needed a studio apartment moved. Overall, I was not impressed. They basically came in and just took over the apartment wrapping furniture. I found them to be sloppy and careless. I had a few items that were broken or lost once we arrived at our destination. Needless to say, I will not use them again.

Mover's response:
I was at this job my self Jorge A Salinas and yes we forgot plastic but we provided furniture pads our self at no extra cost. We would never still broken maybe because you decided to help and do the work your self.
I will take your review into consideration for improvement.

I have had the opportunity to self move many times. When it comes to packing a large moving van Thunderhorse Moving was exceptional. We had to drive up and down mountain ranges to our next home and nothing shifted or was damaged due to their packing. They arrived early, prepared and worked very hard. All of the movers that were associated with our my were amazing. Not only would I use them again, I recommend them over anyone else in the LA Metro area.

Mover's response:
Thank you for taking the time to reviews us Jay. We are happy to hear that you and your belongs maid it home safe.
Thank you using our service.

Jorge and Devon were awesome! They showed up ready to work and eager to help. They had to move large pieces of furniture through tight spaces and made it all look effortless. They even assembled a complicated bed frame for us.
We will definitely be using them again... highly recommend Thunderhorse.
