Excellent workers, they were right on time. They were very conscientious, never stopped even in this heat, I would gladly recommend them..thank you so much.

Mover's response:
That's how we do it, Pat. Mind over matter, my friend. It's hot out here but we are tough as nails and we don't play games when it's time to get it done!

Great job overcame all the obstacles
Would recommend

Mover's response:
Yeah, those bushes blocking the walk way and the fact that the dropped location of the container was poorly chosen and executed by the driver. It definitely made the seemingly easy move a bit more difficult than expected.
, however it was not an issue and we were happy to do it.

They were supposed to arrive at 4:00 pm, called me at 4:00 to say they would be delayed until 6:30. Ok if they would have called earlier.

They were very nice young men and they efficiently got the job done. Helpful enough that I tipped them.

If they had called to warn me they would be very late their rating would have been higher.

Mover's response:
I do apologize about the crew not relaying their tardiness sooner. We train our workers to give as much advanced notice as possible when unforeseen conditions arise and the particular crew dropped the ball on communication. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and I have spoken with both crew members and discussed, yet again, just how important customer communication really is and how a quick phone call could be the difference between waiting in the heat for the movers or knowing you have time to go grab lunch. In business (and in life) things come up out of our control but communication is definitely key.

Both young men were awesome. They worked very hard and they took great care with my property.
It's hard now a days to find people who are respectful and responsible and who know the meaning of hard work and this line of work is very hard.
They were awesome and it was a pleasure to work with them. Please let them know I was very pleased
Sincerely
Janet R.

Mover's response:
Trust me when I tell you that nobody knows more than me how hard good movers are to come by-which is why when we find them we snag them up and pay them well to ensure the high level of quality one has come to expect from A Move Ahead Movers.

They kept me posted on when they would arrive. Upon arrival they introduced themselves, did a xss quick walk through to see where items went, moved all items where requested. Then they put some items together for us. Great experience.

Mover's response:
Thanks for the great review. We are glad we could help.

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.
