The guys that helped me out from Promove were great. One was running a little late, but the other started working right away regardless. They guys helped me move out of my apartment and into a storage unit. They packed the van securely and then helped me pack the storage unit as well and we got the whole thing done in an hour and a half! They worked quickly and carefully and were a big help.

The guys themselves (andrew and Malik) were great and helpful and courteous. The only thing that I'd say, was that I picked Promove because its main selling point was that the company was made up of artists, musicians and actors trying to supplement their income. Being an actor myself, I wanted to give similar artists my business and neither of the guys that helped me were artists, so I thought that was a little bit of false advertising on the part of the company, and had I known that, I might have gone another way. But overall, I was happy with the help I received.

Mover's response:
Promove's personnel is between 70-90% artistes depending on who's active. Malik is a musician, unless he very recently gave up on that dream (that would actually be kind of sad). Andrew is new (which is why he didn't know Malik is a musician) & just needs to earn money, we figured even if he's not an artist he could.
We appreciate being hired in part because we're predominantly artists. While it IS a selling point, we think our main selling point is our consistently very high standard of work

I had a great experience with the two men that showed up to help me move. They were timely and efficient and went out of their way to make sure my truck that I rented was packed in a smart way to make the drive as easy as possible! Will use Promove for any moves in the future.

The movers arrived within the window requested, and were very friendly. The loading of the truck took longer than seemed necessary, but overall I was satisfied with the job.

Mover's response:
In reviews of our work there are often references to our efficiency and speed, that is because we do not waste time and our crews ARE quick and efficient (and careful). Your load took 30 mins longer than the scheduled 2 hours because of a long carry from the building to your truck. Sorry if it put you behind schedule or over budget but unavoidable due to the logistics on your particular move.

Absolute life-savers and so convenient. Saved us at the the last minute and was very reliable. Kirk was on time, so helpful, respectful and we could not have done it without him. If you are wishy washy if you need an extra hand - DON'T BE. Kirk was truly a life-saver and it was the best money I've ever spent to have him help us.

All good things, on time , called when they arrived on time , got right after the job, 6 flight walk up. Knew what they were doing and very capable of doing it. Only minor glitch was company said they would confirm with a call within 24 hours of booking the job, but we booked late on a Fri and understandable , but did receive electronic confirm and a quick call by me got a quick respopnse. Nice, respectful, Strong young men !

These guys were great. They were prompt and took care with our stuff. They didn't take a break and finished our five floor walk up half an hour faster than we'd planned.

Promove was great. They were communicative about their arrival time, understanding when I was late because I had difficulty getting my truck, and, most importantly, packed up my truck perfectly! Everything survived the 350 mile drive. They were great.
