I would definitely recommend MOVEMASTERS for your move. Our move involved loading our rented truck and we had a lot of small boxes and miscellaneous items along with the standard heavier furniture and we honestly didn’t think everything was going to fit on the truck. They handled the job with no problem, efficiently fitting everything in. They were on time, worked hard and were very respectful. I would definitely use them again.
