On time , clean, careful, personable and professional. I scheduled and paid for 2 hours, and they finished in 1. Nevertheless, it was well worth it.

Mover's response:
I'm glad we were able to get your move done so quickly, Barry. Thanks a lot!

Movers did not arrive at the scheduled time due to transportation problems. That is the only reason I did not give a 5 star rating. They were very efficient and moved all items quickly. Their care in handling delicates and breakables was exceptional. Tony did a tremendous job packing the moving truck so nothing was broken or damaged when we unpacked at our destination. I would definitely use A Move Ahead Movers again.

Mover's response:
I'm so sorry we had vehicle problems, Rebecca. Here at A Move Ahead Movers, we try to keep a tight schedule, so being late for a scheduled appointment is a BIG deal to us. I'm glad I was able to spring into action and get the movers rescued and delivered to you at the last minute! Glad we could help....

Moving labor help arrived on time, however, they did not work together as a team. One of the guys wanted to make conversation w me most of the time and frequently went outside to talk to his girlfriend, while the other guy moved most of my stuff alone. Because they were unprofessional and unorganized they went over my 2 hr minimum and I had to pay the difference. When you come and do a job, do the job! I do not want to hear your life story and how much the company pays you. And that your girlfriend is pregnant. He was asking me for a tip... Not Professional. I have used other companies in the past and I do know that it does not take 2.5 hrs to move a 1/1 bath apt. Would I use then again? NO!!!

Mover's response:
I'd like to apologize on behalf of everyone here at A Move Ahead Movers. The issue was brought to my attention by other employees and that employee was let go. Kim, if you call our office we will gladly refund the half an hour overage.

Move ahead movers rocked! I waited to send this review In for over a week so i could see how our furniture and boxes llooked like in the ABF UPack trailer in storage after a 700 mile plus trip. Everthing looked like the way it departed in the trailer after traveling through some hilly terrain. We were extremely happy to see everything in place. These two young men from move ahead movers worked very hard and impressed me and my wife. I would recommend these guys to anybody!

Mover's response:
Awesome, Alan. I'm so glad to hear everything made it in one piece! Here at A Move Ahead Movers smooth moves come at NO EXTRA CHARGE.

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.
