Our moving crew arrived right on time. They started to work immediately. I'm amazed at the speed with which they worked. These young men were so incredibly strong they made it look so easy to lift very heavy items. In three hours they unloaded our house into the PODS containers. Can't thank and praise them enough for their dedication to their job. They are PERFECTION.

I can’t say enough good things about my movers. They were on time and prepared. They moved extremely quickly. I’d recommend them to everyone. They were both careful to not hit walls or scuff anything. Five stars! Thank you.

I hired Monolith to move items from my basement into a storage container on my driveway. They did a great job, were efficient and communicative. I’ll definitely reach out to them again when it’s time to move back into the house .

Jeremy and his assistant were on time and were quick and efficient as they unloaded the truck. Jeremy was very knowledgeable about his handing of our delicate furniture and took great care to see to it that everything was handled with a gentle touch. I would recommend Lloyd's moving to anyone that wishes to have the extra effort and care as Jeremy and his team did with my goods.
