Prompt, professional, and friendly service. They were very respectful of my items and my home. I'd definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the kind words about our crew and company. It was our pleasure to provide unloading service from the portable storage container into your home. We hope you enjoy your new residence and thank you again for doing business with us.

Crew was very professional, hard workers, and took pride in their work. They completed the job early and exactly as was hoping for.

Heavy boxes were placed on top of light boxes. Quite a few boxes were crushed. The destination movers said the Iowa Moving company did a terrible job.

The AFB trailer had a leak and more boxes were ruined. Not Iowa's fault but it was a terrible experience all the way around.

Mover's response:
We are sorry your move did not go as well as it could have. We will further train our movers to be mindful of effective loading techniques. Thank you for providing actionable feedback.

Chris at Iowa Moving 1, the gentleman I scheduled with through Hire a Helper, was courteous, professional, and reassuring. The loaders were scheduled to arrive between 8 and 9 am. At 8:15, Loader KJ called and said they were 5 minutes out and they arrived promptly - so far, so good! My loaders, KJ and Christian, were friendly, professional, polite, careful with my things, and efficient. They were finished in the required 2-hour period. When we unloaded on the other end, everything was in great shape. I love these guys!

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for your kind words. We know moving is challenging, and a major change in your life, and we strive to make it as easy as possible for you. Being courteous, reassuring, and careful with your items is the bread and butter of our work. Please let us know if we
can ever serve you in a future move!

First time using a loading services company and now sold on it. These guys did a great job and went above and beyond what I expected in wrapping and packaging some loose items and the few furniture pieces. Time took longer than I expected due to the care they took in wrapping things up, but it was well worth it and would definitely use these guys again.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your kind words, and for being open-minded to trying something new. Our men strive to do their very best, and we hope to show you how greatly we can do on any future moves you may choose.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

We recommend that customers have all boxes packed and sealed before our movers arrive (unless you have hired our company for a packing service). Please ensure that there are clear walk ways within the residence. We ask that all dresser drawers be emptied prior to moving. To save time and money , customers can also have beds disassembled and mirrors removed from dressers ahead of time, if possible.
