They were incredibly prompt. When they arrived, it was pouring rain, so they agreed to come back in an hour, after the rain subsided. Then, they banged out a two hour job in just over an hour. Very friendly. Fast. Followed directions perfectly! I would recommend without reservations!

Ben and his crew were unphased by the scope of the job I was asking them to do. This wasn't the typical move! They were to move all manner of ranch and animal stuff from one ranch to another. 22 years of stuff. Alfa Moving was on time, worked their hearts out and never complained about the cobwebs, dirt, and sheep poop! Thank you so much, Ben! I recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat!!

The guys were prompt and on time. They were courteous and worked quickly to load the truck. When they finished we left for the location. About an hour away in prime time traffic. They still managed to beat me in and were unloading already. The gentleman were top notch! And always pleasant. I recommend them to anybody. They were pros!

The first two guys helping me load up were there early, and went over exactly what needed to be taken and what was to be left. When they started they just kept taking and loading up the trailer… before I knew it they were finished!! Finished a half hour early. Great guys, polite and thorough. When I got to my new place, the other two movers were already there waiting. We spent a half hour looking for the right dam apartment, which was the management’s fault, then they started to unload. These guys had to haul the stuff up a flight of stairs, but they also finished on time. I’ll use this company again without question! Thanks guys!!

Can I please say the 2 guys that came were the sweetest, polite and warm people I have met in a while. They were early and were waiting for me which is a blessing in my case anyway. They 100% took care with my belongings as they removed from my storage and loaded properly in the truck. I am extremely HAPPY with the entire experience and I ENCOURAGE STRONGLY that you hire them for ANY job you may have because you will be more than happy you did trust me.

Paradise Moving & Storage LLC was so professional. They touched base with me to confirm what types of objects I was moving a few days prior to the move. They called me when they were on their way to the house and showed up on time. They moved quickly and wrapped all of my furniture up to protect it. They were polite and hard working. I was very impressed with them and have recommended them to a few friends already. I highly recommend.

I had a really tough job. It was a 2800 sq foot home with large furniture, a mirrored buffet, and 40-50 boxes. It was a ton of stuff. They came at 9am and packed all the boxes, wrapped all the furniture, and everything got to my new home without a scratch. These guys worked late, and were always moving. They worked very hard. The window was 8am-10am, got there at 9am and were just moving till very late. Did not break or scratch a thing, they are very professional. I would use them for my next move! 5 stars, I was very pleased. It is worth the extra few bucks if you have nice stuff!!!
