Chris, Thomas and Bill absolutely saved my day today, moving a dozen pieces of heavy wood furniture into storage in just one hour! They also moved an antique table, a Pilates reformer, a peleton, without leaving a scratch on the pieces or the walls. They even improvised a way to get especially wide pieces through one of my narrow doors! I'll call them first when I eventually take these pieces out!

Both fast and careful. I had to park the POD down the street about 400 foot and they didn't complain, but brought it in as fast as possible. Cheery group as well. Coordinator Marcus coped with a number of changes, including a delay necessitated by me falling sick at the last moment. Highly Recommend.

Very friendly and professional. Communication was good. I would recommend them. However, please make sure that they use the furniture blankets provided, as they did not with my load, and they put clearly marked heavy boxes on top of fragile ones. Now I have damaged furniture that needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, this was all pointed out to me when the unloaders came and opened the truck.
