Michael and his associate were courteous and very efficient. They handled large and ungainly pieces of furniture and exercise equipment down an outside hill as well as upstairs, locating items on three different levels. They were quite careful with items and no damage was noted. I would highly recommend this team to anyone requiring a moving crew.

Flawless from start to finish. Prompt responses, communicative, polite, punctual, personable and executed the job perfectly. Our 16ft POD was unloaded and brought up the stairs with a minimum of fuss, and no damage. Mo and his team were great, and I would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended!
