Father and son team, very kind and helpful! They, completed the job in less than 2 hours. They were very careful and thoughtful about loading my boxes in to my storage unit. I would definitely use Melancon Moving again! Thank you for all your help!!

Mover's response:
It was our pleasure to help you with your move. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Enjoy your time back home, before you have to relocate up north. Thank you for your business-it was greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend Melancon Moving And Freight Services! We moved from Lexington, KY with a 26 foot rental truck and hired their services for unloading the truck. They were hard working, polite and extremely professional! They were very well prepared for the job and made sure that no damage was caused to walls, doorways and floors. We were so impressed they were able to not only remove the heavy items off the truck, but unloaded the entire truck in 2 hours! We can't say enough good things about their service. They made relocating to another state easy for us. We highly recommend them and will be using them again for our next move! If I could give them more stars I would!

They were well supervised and worked hard and were very courteous. They did a great job cushioning our things. I recommend them.

Not enough tie downs were used although they were provided and packed with the freight, load shifted and washer and dryer were not tied down properly and dryer was damaged.

Mover's response:
I am sorry if there was damage to your dryer, but looking at the pictures that I took I can not see how. You mentioned your dryer being damaged, due to the load shifting, but your china cabinet (with the glass doors on the front) was right next to it, and yet you didn't mention any damage to it. There was styrofoam placed around and between the washer and dryer. As far as the tie downs-the straps were used-in fact I had to also use some of the rope that you also provided. Again, I am sincerely s

Hard workers. They quickly moved a lot of material on a VERY hot and humid day. Very attentive to ensure no damage to our home and goods being loaded. Great job of filling the cube on our Pod.

Excellent service. The crew showed up on time and worked very hard on a hot day to pack a POD for a long distance move. Items were carefully packed. These are the people to call for any moving or packing services.

I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism. They called several times to confirm, were prompt and very careful with our items. We had a couch that was extremely difficult to get out the door and they went above and beyond to protect the furniture and walls. They loaded the truck quickly and efficiently. The next day after we arrived, I received a phone call asking if everything had arrived in the truck in good shape and if we had any concerns. I never write recommendations but this time, I would be remiss if I failed to comment. Excellent service and beyond all of my expectations.

You can trust Doug and his crew (his sons) with your move. There was great communication, they were careful with my items, and made sure my truck was packed perfectly for the long drive. Doug even called the day after my move was complete to make sure unloading also went smoothly. They made my move relatively stress-free. Thanks guys!
