Steven & his crew were great, they arrived on time. They were courteous, polite and fast. We would definitely hire them again

If we weren't in a global pandemic with requirements/recommendations to wear face coverings, I would be giving them a stronger review.

Movers were not wearing masks and when I pointed this out, the person who seemingly was leading the crew was rude and dismissive. Definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

Otherwise, the company was communicative (they were running 30 minutes late and let us know as soon as they found out) and the crew was efficient. They were helpful with disassembling furniture and packed our moving container well.

They were very efficient and wasted no time. Did not complain when a large sofa could not fit through the back door and had to be carried around to the front of the house. I would definitely recommend them.

They moving guys were friendly, fast, and took good care of our stuff. They packed it well.
My only comment would be that I had to ask them to wear masks and even then they weren’t worn properly all the time.
If it weren’t a pandemic they would get 5 stars.

Movers arrived on time. They worked quickly and efficiently. I was impressed with how much they got done in the time I booked them for. I thought for sure I would have a lot left to do after they left but they were so hardworking they got everything done I had for them.

Great guys! Father and son team. Zipped thru a 16' container-unload in an hour and a half.

We only needed the movers to move the heavy pieces in the moving container. We received a call from them in advance asking if it was okay to come in earlier than scheduled as they finished the previous job early. They did a great job and moved all furniture we asked them of. Courteous and careful.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

The best way to prepare for your move is always organization, having walkways cleared for the movers so as not to trip over anything.
