Mr. Carlton did a great job moving my items and taking good care to make sure my items were safely moved and without damage. He is experienced with packing an u-haul truck. I am very satisfied.

Carlton was AMAZING! His team was professional and friendly and they stayed on the move the whole time. He and his men made a daunting task enjoyable and fast. Would highly recommend them! Also I was looking for someone for the very next day and he was ready and excited to get to it. If you are reading this then you have found the men you need:)

GOD bless you & thank you for your kind words In Jesus Name.

Carlton was very flexible and able to adjust arrival time due to furniture delivery delays. He was responsive and easy to reach.
Upon arrival there were two movers with 1 furniture dolly and 1 Utility dolly, but no power tools. Both movers were respectful and were careful with my property. However, they moved very slowly. Moving a 1.5 bedroom apartment should not take 5+ hours. The first load they brought in was a couple lightweight boxes. Seemed like they were piecemealing loads spread between 15-20 min intervals. Also, the lead had to micromanage his helper the entire time. I was not happy the move took so long. I assumed I didn’t have to micromanage the move by organizing loads and helping them systematically bring stuff in. Perhaps I should have.

Mover's response:
Hello, Ms, Lavanda I understand your concern that it may have been more money than you would have hoped for. Moreover, the POD was 20-30 feet away, from the 2 sets of double doors we had to walk through, under the garage it also was a double-decked parking lot we had to walk across due to the POD driver would not have been able to fit under the parking garage. Also, the elevator was not reserved so that took a little longer to wait for as well, you all were on the 14th floor of the high-rise. The tools were on site, your bed just needed one Allen wrench. Yes, we do have leads that oversee the moves so that nothing goes wrong and that we help each other out. Moreover - thank you for your response we will work on that moving forward!

Carlton and his crew were ontime, professional and very courteous. They actually took out a few minutes to conduct a walkthrough of my requirements and provided recommendations and comments on how to best pack my Pod. I will actually be booking them again in a few weeks for unloading...OUTSTANDING.

The care that Carlton's Moving Company displayed to my belongings and house was outstanding, and they did an incredible job in maximizing the space in my POD to fit my stuff! I would highly recommend them.
