Marion Movers Profile Image

This is the second time we have used Marion Movers. First time was two years ago to unload the truck, when my daughter moved to Iowa City for grad school. When we needed movers to load the truck to move her out of her apartment, this was the first call we made. The crew was on time and did a stellar job. Would highly recommend Marion movers for any of your moving needs.

This is my second time for hiring this crew. They cleaned out my shed last time into a storage pod, and this time they moved all of my shed contents into my new carport. They work really well together, no tempers or stress, and I find that they are comfortable making decisions as well as following my ideas. Would definitely hire them again.
