Took 4 hours to unload and my daughter and I did a lot. They simply didn't move very fast. I'm comparing them to the movers who packed the entire truck in less than 4 hours and who were excellent!

Mover's response:
Unfortunately the door was small with a wall directly behind it. Michelle, there was no straight shot into your home. You removed the screen from your screen room and had my movers lifting items over a 4 ft. wall into your home through the back porch. I do apologize that you felt like the extra time was due to anything but unexpected obstacles(i.e.Your doorway and most items having to be lifted though the back). FUTURE CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE: long walks and obstacle courses my take extra time.

We were so happy with the movers, they did an outstanding job. What started out as a very bad move turned into a very nice day with this group. They were very organized, hard working, fast and super friendly. I definately reccomend them. Thanks to all of you for making our day.

Mover's response:
Thanks Jason!!

Professional, prompt, and polite. They truly took all the worry out of what would normally be a very stressful day! Thanks Tony and Matt! Especially for the shoulder dolly tip - it made offloading in Texas a breeze! When my father moves in November we will definitely be calling again for your help!

Mover's response:
I'm so glad we could help out. Thanks for the review, Stephanie

My stuff is broken my couch ottoman is missing a wheel my file drawers were broken and i am seeking damages the list goes on couch was hit and scratched by a wall the seam is coming out and the couch is 5 months old my bed cover was all ripped and i have to look for more . Wow

Mover's response:
I'm having a hard time understanding why you're surprised that there were damages. I PERSONALLY EXPLAINED TO YOU MULTIPLE TIMES THAT DAMAGES WERE ALMOST CERTAIN IF YOU DID NOT GET MOVING BLANKETS WITH YOUR TRUCK. When I arrived & saw you hadn't reserved blankets as advised, you were told again that damages would most likely incur, in fact, you told me that the blankets were "too expensive." CUSTOMERS: Don't be like Darlene here. You spend MORE money trying to be CHEAP. Get Blankets and Shrink Wr

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.
