Great job loading, I did not think they could fit everything in the pod. Highly recommended Tony and Tim.

Mover's response:
I surprise myself sometimes. I'm always afraid that we overloaded them lil PODS but we never get calls about it so we'll just keep stuffin em til they tell us we did too much!

Tony and his crew were great. They were right on time and were able to configure everything that needed to go in our POD neatly and efficiently and were able to put in additional items that we did not think would fit. Everyone was friendly and courteous and took great care with our property. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly

Mover's response:
If you HAVE to get it all then give us a call!

I thought it was a good team. They were on time, worked fast and accomplished packing a lot, but we didn't realize until we got to our new home and started unpacking how much stuff was damaged. The leader/ bigger mover was rough with some items. A framed picture that's about 2.6 -3 ft. square was packed glass down on top of things with more things on top of it, and the glass was broken. We took photos. An antique mirror encased in wood to a vanity had the wooden encasement broken, and a wooden desk had broken drawers and a broken keyboard drawer. I understand some furniture gets damaged when moving, but this damage was the direct result of how things were loaded and packed in the moving truck. I can say their attitude was good. Thanks.

Mover's response:
We appreciate the feedback. However, I do want to point out that we NEVER pack glass flat when we know its glass. When glass is packed properly and marked properly it can be loaded properly. None of your glass was packed properly prior to our arrival. We asked if you had packing materials and that we could pack items if materials were provided. Several glass mirrors were not packed at all and we loaded that way. Without proper supplies for moving or having any moving blankets available its virtually impossible to not incur damages. You were told this before your move, during your move and again after your move when you called us about the damages. You did fail to mention that most all of your boxes were unproperly packed and they were falling apart. You also failed to mention how most of the items (including the drawers claiming we broke plus the mirror) were heavily damaged from weather and being stored in the shed we loaded them from where they had been being stored for several years. Several furniture items were literally falling apart as we were carying and loading them. I personally brought this to your husbands attention. He said some word that cant be mentioned here about how he felt about the items being moved and it was to the affect that he didnt feel like they should even be moved but possibly hauled off instead. Our movers got very dirty loading those items and had to change their shirts after loading. Honestly, it surprised me that you actually left us this review considering the condition of most items loaded. On top of everything else, you were unpleasant to deal with and you had unrealistic expectations of what would fit in the truck, while providing basically no moving supplies. We do sympathize with your situation, however, we feel a one star review is totally unfair as your experience is a direct result of your own poor planning and willingness to provide the proper materials.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking with us you can expect a phone call from our offices just to reach out and get a feel for your unique situation. We will go over all needed supplies and firm up all the details.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

Upon moving day you will receive a call from your movers within an hour of your booked arrival window. The movers will reach out just to make sure everything is still going according to plan and will give you their expected GPS arrival time. We know that nothing is more stressful than being nervous that the movers aren't gonna show up, so we like to put your mind at ease.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

If you will be hiring us to load your rental truck, trailer or portable shipping container it is imperative that you provide an adequate amount of moving blankets, plastic stretch wrap and rope to avoid serious damage to your items. The blankets can usually be rented with your truck or portable shipping container and are worth every penny. We can provide rope and plastic wrap for an additional fee or it can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot in the moving supplies section.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have handled literally every type of move from local to long distance, from household to office/commercial. We have handled everything from medical equipment to flight simulators and we are equipped to move large items such as pianos and grand pianos.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part about being movers is that we get to help someone with literally the hardest and most stressful task of their adult life.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our crew leaders are required to have a minimum of 4 years professional moving experience and upon hire, undergo at least 2 weeks of training with the owner of the company (a very particular veteran mover in the industry) before being set free to operate independently. All crew members undergo the same training and we typically only hire crew members who possess at least 2 years minimum professional moving experience. We don't send rookies, period.
