TopShelf's guys were great. I had an unusual situation: I needed my observatory dome (350+ lbs) put atop the observatory's base (5' high). The guys were pleasant, professional, hardworking, and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend them and would use them again.

The guys did a great job, both with a tough loading process, and excellent service on the unloading. They even offered to move some furniture around after placing it initially. They showed up on time and took the time to shrink wrap anything that they had to and showed care in tight spots. don't plan on moving anytime soon, but if I had to I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

George and his guys did a great job! They showed up a couple minutes ahead of the scheduled time and were prepared with all sorts of moving supplies! I had a lot of furniture moving in and out of pods and in and out of houses and most of it was very heavy furniture that needed to be moved up and/or down a flight of stairs. They worked hard and were able to get the job done in a timely manner.
