I was thoroughly pleased with the experience that Thunderhorse Moving provided. They were on time and communicated questions on the phone before the move took place. They worked fast and packed the moving container very efficiently; way better than I would have been able to do on a full night’s sleep and extra coffee. It was a little on the expensive side, but it seems like that’s the way things are. They weren’t any more than the competition. I’d recommend!
And Thunderhorse is the most metal of names for a company!

Mover's response:

They were on time and came prepared. I had a 28 foot truck, that was completely full. They just kept moving. They were very hard workers. Took about a 20 minute break gave them pizza and some refreshments and they continued until everything was unloaded. Very respectful of my items and handle everything with care. If there was an arrow on the box they made sure it was turned the right way. I definetly recommend them.

Mover's response:
We were happy to assist with the unloading of your container. We're here for you anytime you need us. Enjoy your new place!

Showed up on time, worked extremely hard. No wasted time. No dragging it out. Excellent at making lots of different things fit like hands in gloves - very efficient use of available space. Good working relationship among crew members.

We cannot say enough great things about Thunderhorse Moving. We had not planned on hiring anyone to help us with our move but due to unforeseen circumstances we knew we would need all the help we could get! Arturo called to check in the day before they arrived so he could better understand our needs and the task at hand. Arturo and David showed up and did a walkthrough of the house with us and then immediately got to work. They were very efficient and careful with the packing of our things! They did not anticipate to ask questions! They also did an amazing job of packing the PODS we had to make everything fit! There is no way we could have done this without them. They were professional, efficient, hardworking, and friendly. We highly recommend them for any moving job you might have!

Mover's response:
It was a pleasure to help you Katrina. Have a safe Trip and enjoy your new home.
