Having moved 16 times (we are not gypsies), I can truthfully say Alfa Movers were the best we've had. Ben and his team are professional, efficient, and careful. We would highly recommend them for your next move.

The guys were prompt and on time. They were courteous and worked quickly to load the truck. When they finished we left for the location. About an hour away in prime time traffic. They still managed to beat me in and were unloading already. The gentleman were top notch! And always pleasant. I recommend them to anybody. They were pros!

I had a really tough job. It was a 2800 sq foot home with large furniture, a mirrored buffet, and 40-50 boxes. It was a ton of stuff. They came at 9am and packed all the boxes, wrapped all the furniture, and everything got to my new home without a scratch. These guys worked late, and were always moving. They worked very hard. The window was 8am-10am, got there at 9am and were just moving till very late. Did not break or scratch a thing, they are very professional. I would use them for my next move! 5 stars, I was very pleased. It is worth the extra few bucks if you have nice stuff!!!
