Laura H
They were on time and prepared for the job. They worked extremely hard and were very respectful of the property they moved. This is the second time we have hired them and would absolutely use them again in the future.
Andria S
The “movers” showed up on time which is how they got one star. Two men older than my father showed up and struggled to lift more than 75lb. Slow, painful to watch, we let them leave an hour early after wincing as they bounced a dolly with a three drawer Ikea bench down the 6 steps of freshly installed hardwood to the lower family room. Area rugs were tossed down like dead bodies and each box was negotiated and questions answered as to its exact location. Another reason we let them go and did the rest ourselves was one of the two men had their 2 grandchildren (12yr old and 8 years old) sitting in the back seat of his truck cab on a sunny day. If this is the only moving labor help available, skip it. We felt like we were complicit in elderly AND child abuse at the same time.

They arrived on time and worked very quickly. We experienced a hiccup in our plan and the guys were on board with the changes we needed to make on the spot.

John and his team are wonderful to work with. They are polite, patient, professional, knowledgeable and hard working. This is the second time working with Metro loading. I highly recommend John and his team. They make moving a pleasant experience.

They did great, but I have some personal items that are missing from my drawer. Noticed it gone when I was unpacking and searching for stuff. Possibly stolen by the movers when they moved my drawer to the truck, when no one was watching!??????
Try pulling out your drawers ...some times things fall in the shell of the dresser...Most people pack up their dressers for that reason.

A team of four friendly men were right on time and what I thought would take 3 hours took 2. The team worked very hard moving some big pieces and heavy book boxes up and down tricky stairs.
