Kyle & Connor we’re great! Hard workers and kept me informed while here. Very conscientious. I would give the the highest recommendation.

Crew arrived 1.5 hours late and minus 1 person, who reportedly had a flat tire on his way to the job. They had shrink wrap but no tools to disassemble furniture. They did not come with a dolly. Fortunately, I rented extra. They were not organized and there was not a lead. One guy stayed on his phone 60% of the time leaving the other two to the majority of work. My husband and I did A LOT of the organizing, lifting and moving in an attempt to meet deadlines and to stay within the time we requested. Had to ask repeatedly for items to be wrapped with pads and plastic. Even then, a lot still loaded unwrapped. Lots of bumps in doorways. Expensive furniture left with scratches and little respect. When I confronted two of the guys with the way our furniture was being handled, he replied that some bumps/scratches were to be expected. At the end of the job, they were not able to put our bed frame back together as they had left the screws at our previous home. Spoke with James during and after the move. We were compensated for not having the one guy there and were not charged for going above the 5 hours that we requested. James was very apologetic for our horrible experience. I would not use them again. The two guys did work hard, but not enough experience to work without a lead. If using this company, make sure there will be a lead on site, that they have the necessary equipment and that James or someone drops in to check on the progress.

Zack and Abraham did a great job for us today. They kept moving and got it all done very quickly.

2 guys and I unpacked a 26’ trailer in 3 hours. They did all the heavy lifting. Very happy with the help.

Four guys came, as per requested. They all were on time, courteous, and extremely professional. They started by getting organized as a team, and jumped in working together. I hired them for 6 hours, based on the number of pods I had rented. They had completed the job in a little over four. Things were wrapped with blankets, cellophane, and treated as if it was their own personal property. When I said they worked fast, they did not sacrifice quality of packing. I have heard many horror stories about movers, but I can honestly say, I would recommend these guys to my family, friends, or anyone looking for great movers. In fact, I have recommended them to my realtor who is always looking for good recommendations.

The guys were friendly. Worked steady to get the job done. The company did what they said. Would use again

2 arrived late & then tried to leave early to get to next job. They couldn't because their car broke down, so they ended up staying & moving more stuff anyway.
They were personable & worked hard carrying & moving boxes & furniture but were not good at loading & packing in the PODS. Obviously not sure how much will shift when PODS are moved.
