I highly recommend using this service and my back agrees. The two gentleman that helped with our move were amazing. The took great care of all our stuff to include our new house. They packed everything we asked and made it all to fit in the truck (somehow). They both had the greatest attitude even while moving extremely heavy furniture. I won't ever move without using there service again. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!!!

Mark and Dwayne were super friendly and very efficient. I couldn’t believe how much they were able to fit into the moving truck. They were careful with all of my items and were very accommodating. I would definitely recommend them for moving assistance!

Mark and his colleague were on time and worked hard the entire time they were present. They did an excellent job of organizing and loading our truck efficiently. They were courteous, pleasant and most helpful. We would definitely utilize the service again. Thank you -

Jon and Mark from Jon's Friendly Movers were on time, pleasant and worked diligently and quickly to load my belongings into the rental truck. But, I'm not satisfied with the quality of their packing .Even the packers unloading my truck in Florida commented unfavorably on the packing effort that was done.

The truck was unloaded into my garage 1100 miles away. My belongings are now waiting another move in a month or so I am unable to check everything. However, in the unloading process, I spotted several issues.

1)Although I provided 25 furniture pads to protect my furniture pieces, only a handful of them were used. One dining chair (new) arrived with a black stain on the cream colored fabric seat. I don't know if I'll be able to get the stain out without having to buy fabric and have the chair seat re-covered. Had the chair been covered, this would not have happened.
2)For my mattress, I provided a plastic cover to encase it. It was not used and the mattress was just placed "as is" in the truck. Now I will have to purchase a new mattress protector to encase it.
3) I also provided a plastic cover to encase and protect my sofa that had just been cleaned 2 days prior to the pack date. It was not used. So, the money i spent on the cleaning has been wasted as there is no telling what kind of dust, etc, it has been exposed to over the 18 hour trip.
4) I provided an extra large furniture pad (designed for appliances) to cover my 6' tall washer dryer unit that is only 8 months old. A small pad was used instead and when the appliance was pulled out of the truck, I could see that there is now a gouge on the side of the machine (it's small, but a hole nonetheless). I can't hook it up for another month, so I don't know if it will affect the operation in any way.
5) A box clearly marked "fragile" in multiple places on one box was placed at the top of a bunch of boxes, turned on its side and not protected on either side by boxes, etc. to keep it from moving. Luckily I spotted it before we left town and re-arranged it to give it the proper protection.

Bottom line, while this company may be adequate for a move across town, I would not recommend them for a long trip or if you have valuable items you really want to protect.
