The Cost of Moving Services in Canterbury, CT

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

Last Minute Movers were prompt and efficient. They even went above and beyond when I thought I wouldn't be able to fit my bedframe into the relocation cube - they disassembled it so it would fit! And they were able to do all of it in the snow. Highly recommend this company!

The guys were great - would never had done this by ourselves (we thought we could). Thank goodness they did more in 2 hours than we would have done in 10. We thought they would only do the heavy front of the truck - did all that and all the boxes that we had packed! Thank you. Super nice, respectful, funny. On time. Wish they were in the town we are moving to. Would definitely recommend.

They were very hard workers and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They busted their ass to get it all done. Great job team! However, I feel that the platform has structural issues. There should be better instructions for both the mover and the person hiring them. I would recommend using them again. Thank you.
