Very careful, conscientious men who took pride in wrapping furniture with padding and plastic! Very reasonable cost compared to hiring movers as I have previously done. I will be hiring them again to move my belongings once my home that was heavily damaged by Hurricane Irma is restored.

Mover's response:
Glad that we could accommodate, Laura. Wes and Mike (the crew responsible for not just this move, but, the one above it and the 3 reviewed below it as well) said to tell you they were happy to help. FUTURE CUSTOMERS please read our reviews thoroughly and read all responses. 99% of our VERY FEW unsatisfied customers resulted in being unprepared or by not allowing us to use our expertise to the full potential of its capabilities. Our recommendations should be taken seriously.

Tony and his wife did an excellent job moving everything into the PODS. I thought that I was hiring them to put everything back into the house but they sent two other guys that were not as careful with our things. They broke the bottom wood on some bedroom furniture and broke the top off an antique dresser. I found the piece on the floor of the PODS after they left and had to glue it back together as best as I can. They did not put the glass shelves back but left them stacked together instead of on each shelf. Be careful when hiring as you may not get who you thought that you were hiring.

Mover's response:
Please keep in mind that the wood piece on that antique that broke was recommended to be removed by myself (Tony) when we loaded the POD. I recall being in the process of removing it when you stopped me & told me it was unnecessary. I informed you that damages were likely, as it is a fragile ornate piece that easily removes & can avoid all risk of it snapping off. ALL of our movers take great pride in handling your items with care.

They handled our antiques with great care. They truly understood the care needed to transport these items to another state without any damage. We are very grateful!

Mover's response:
It was our pleasure. You had some very nice pieces and we knew it would be worth mentioning that you guys DID NOT have enough blankets. Since you were able to provide additional coverings, we were able to take care of you.

A Move ahead movers are great. I'm going to give you all the facts. They were 3 minutes late, that really did not matter to me, but I know it matters to other people so I'm to say everything how it happened. They were prepared, and they worked through the pain. One of the dollies broke but they kept working and using it . Even though it made their job harder they kept pushing through. They worked hard, I have never seen a person carry a king size mattress on their own or push/pull 2 dolly (one broken) at the same time. Everything was good, nothing was broken. I would definitely use them again. I moved from Texas to Orlando. All this was stressful. I have always use friends and family to move. But moving to a different state I had no one. My only regret was not knowing how fast they were going to be. I arrived on Tuesday at 2 pm after a 3 day trip over 38 hours driven I still had to unload a 22 foot truck. Since I booked only 2 workers for 2 hours I was not sure how fast they were going to be. Trust me they are fast, I unloaded about half of the truck in 5 hours. They did half of the truck including 2 sofas, washer, dryer, 60 in curved TV. one really heavy dresser. and about 35 boxed in 68 minutes. Use them, you will not regret it. Unfortunately I do not remember their names , I think it was West or Westly or Wesly. THEY ARE AWESOME.

Mover's response:
Thanks, for the great review. Wes is very grateful for this review and he told me to tell you that he hopes you get out and enjoy our beautiful state and all it has to offer.

Annesa and Tony run a great company. They were top notch in communication for scheduling (including last minute changes), timely arrival and performance. They assessed the work required and proceeded with minimal input and no delay. The job was completed in less time than expected. It was a pleasure dealing with both of these fine, hard working and helpful people. We have already recommended them to others and hope this review will convince others to contact A Move Ahead Movers for help whenever it is needed.

Mover's response:
We all really appreciate this review, Gary. Customers like you make our day.

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.
