Second time that we've used Tony and would recommend them to everyone. Used them for our initial move back in July and again yesterday for a minor move across town. Hard workers, very respectful and prepared for anything! Great job guys!!

Mover's response:
Thanks for the repeat business and the starling review, Barbara.

Used them once- goodjob. Hired then again 10days later to take from storage unit to house. I rented truck confirmed by phone and then they never showed or answered 4 calls over a two hour period trying to figure out where they were and why they wernt there for my move- wasted 94 dollars on a uhaul- they NEVER SHOWED OR RETURNED MY CALLS

Mover's response:
You never booked the move in question. The only move booked and confirmed was this move for the 22nd. I'm sorry about not answering the day you expected us, we were on another move but I did call you back as soon as I checked my phone. I want to make it very clear that while you did speak with someone about your move, you never did book that move online as instructed. Since you did not book the move it was not on our to do list. There was no way for us to show up as there was no invoice or record. I'm terribly sorry about the confusion but we handle many moves a day and had yours been booked we would have been there.

Tony and Matthew were awesome. Even though I was their 3rd move of the day, they worked tirelessly to get the job done. I was amazed at how well packed my POD was.Their friendly personalities were a big plus. Even though they were later than planned, I was kept informed of the timing. I will be hiring them to unpack for me at a later date!

Mover's response:
Thanks for the great review! We are very grateful that you were understanding about our 1st job of the day running over its pre-booked time. We can't wait to help unload.

Tony and Matthew worked hard and carefully. They had a tire issue, so arrived at the very end of the window of start time. Communication would help. They finished early, so I had them un wrapping and assembling, but their ride was waiting, so they kept asking "anything else'...felt rushed.
Overall, however, they did a good job and were willing to do anything we needed.

Mover's response:
The office did relay that we would be arriving between 8:30-9 (called about 7:15am- scheduled arrival window was set between 8-9am) it's unfortunate that you felt being given notice an hour and 45 minutes prior was not enough communication. We are very sorry if you felt rushed as that was definitely not the intention. I do want to point out that we typically do ask if there is "anything else" once the truck is empty and all items are assembled. We do this just to clarify what needs to be done. You did pay for 4 hours and we worked 3.5. We would have been happy to do anything asked of us. We did unwrap and assemble all of the furniture and we did ask several times if there was anything else. My wife picked us up off of the side of the road when we had car troubles so that this move could be done on time. She was in it to win it and would have waited however long it took had it been 3.5 hours or 5 hours. We do appreciate the review and always encourage customer feedback. Thanks for the great review!

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.
