The 2 guys did a great job! Both were on time and were very friendly and polite. All our goods made it to our new house safely with no issues. One of the workers even put our outdoor grill in the back of his personal truck as we ran out of room in my rental truck. Great Job!!

The guys did a great job, came in assessed what needed to be done and quickly got the truck loaded. Truck should be received this week to see how my furniture and possessions weathered the move.

The trucking company was a day late delivering the trailer. Moving Boys agreed to come the next day - after another move. The team was great, worked tirelessly. And carefully handled heavy and fragile items. The guys were great and we plan to use them again with another load.

Both gentlemen were on time. They were kind and very mannerly. They were very professional, and knew exactly what they were doing. They packed the moving container perfectly, efficiently and in a timely manner. Very hard working young men, and I would always tell people to use this company, because they knew how and exacting what they were doing. All in only 3 hours. Thank you. Fran Friedman

Had a great experience. The movers I had scheduled never showed up and we had our moving van and needed to get on the road. Within 3 hours they had a crew at my place and we were loaded and on the road in an hour and an half. Super professional, courteous and personable.
