The husband and wife team were excellent. They exceeded our expectations and I would not hesitant to use them in the future I guarantee if you use them you will not be disappointed. Plus they finished on time and were very pleasant to deal with. Dave A. Ovala, Flat.

Annessa & Tony did a great job on loading the POD for us. They called prior to their arrival and they were on time. They were very prepared and did not waste time getting to work. Very professional in approaching the task at hand. They treated our belongings as if they were their own. I would definately hire them again would recomend their company to others.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the amazing feedback, Joe. We strive to go that extra mile and provide the type of service that gets noticed, so it means a lot to us here at A Move Ahead Movers when it does get acknowledged. We are a small family based company and we value customer satisfaction.

Called ahead. On time. Wrapped everything we'd expected and more to prevent damage. Moved an incredibly heavy piano as if they did it every day (maybe they do). I ordered a 26 ft rental truck and at last minute they told me I could only get 20 ft truck. I was very concerned the load wouldnt fit. But they packed the truck so expertly that everything fit perfectly with no shifting. Can I ask for these guys again??????

Mover's response:
Yes, you may. Tony and Thomas (owner and son) would be who to request. We would be happy to assist again.

A disaster. They were late, lazy and only one worked, sporadically, while the younger one played on his phone non-stop. This was not a complex move yet they took 4 extra hours and still the many of the items were not loaded due to improper truck load planning. Items were scratched and some broken. They complained and I finally called an end of the night with many items remaining for another trip. This provider was not the one I originally booked, Hireahelper called me the night before with the news that the provider I chose did not respond, this was as I was boarding the flight to start the move - leaving me no choice. Wasted trip, shoddily packed truck and excessive billing from padding time - that about sums it up. Oh, forgot to mention, when I told them that we needed to call and end to the night, they abruptly packed up, left and my rental truck keys mysteriously had disappeared. Booked a local Hotel (it was midnight by then) and called the truck rental company to have another set of keys made - all told an extra $400.

Mover's response:
It was a disaster, a disater of your creating-NOT ours. We're ranked 3rd in Cental FL, Bill, with all respect, we don't pack "shoddily!" Your move was a disaster because of YOU, my friend. You had 4 storage units that were so shoddily packed (by your previous "movers") when we opened the door to it literally appeared that the furniture had been thrown in. Not a complex move? Sorry we couldn't fit 2 10x20 & 2 5x8 units into one single 26 ft truck. It's totally impossible for anyone to do that by the way. You had unreal expectations about your stuff fitting into your truck & your stuff was ruined by your previous "movers", NOT us & you know that to be true. You told us how they messed up a lot of your stuff. You were very rude to us several times and I remained professional to you besides telling you that you were being a jerk and we didn't appreciate it and didn't have to take gruff from you and wouldn't. You didn't like that and you called an end to the night which also happened to be the same point that the truck was full. You "called an end to the night" after we expertly packed as much of your belongings as possible into your truck. There was no wasted or unused space on that truck. Let us not forget that you booked this LOAD at 6-7pm at a storage facility! You seem to have had a poor moving experience based soley on your lack of planning and your own misplacement of your keys and are now blaming us. To even hint at the notion that we took your rental keys is absurd. I seem to remember you walking back and forth in the parking lot & all over the storage grounds while having phone conversations on your bluetooth headset. I'm sure that it's possible you dropped them during that time.. Poor planning & having a bad attitude could probably account for half of your life problems, My Friend. We do value your feedback and really appreciate your business, though. Owner & son were movers present on this job.

The movers were on time, prepared, and started working right away. They took care to not do any damage to the furniture. They were hard working, polite, respectful, and I would highly recommend using this service. I know I will .......

Mover's response:
Customer satifaction lies at the end of a properly planned, properly materialized, properly managed move. In order for us to do our job correctly there are steps that you as a customer should take to help achieve that goal. Almost always when there is lack of planning on the customers behalf, the service we are able to provide is very limited. A lot of our negative reviews reflect customers who did not use prior planning or failed to provide blankets and the end result was damages they then blame on the movers. Unfortunately, we have no control over how prepared our customers are. All we can do is give expert advice and hope our customers take it into consideration. Take a look at our lowest rated reviews and you will notice a pattern of obvious signs of poor planing.

The Movers We're Awesome. I had a 22 ft truck and thought it would take all day, but we got it done in 2 hours. They were friendly and professional. I'd definitely recommend.

We're glad we were able to exceed you expectations.

They were on time and went right to work. They did a great job in packing the truck to its fullest. Both were personable and were dressed for the work. Would recommend them and use them again if ever needed.

Mover's response:
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.
