Two young men showed up and helped us. They took twin beds apart and loaded the truck with ease. Very pleased with their work. Made this old lady very happy.

The 3 men were respectful and strong. They worked hard and were doing their best to miss wall corners and not damage the house and items moved. Overall they did a good job and were efficient.
We did have one problem: my husband saw one man begin to lift a 2 tiered glass topped coffee table by himself while inside the truck. My husband told the man he should get a second helper, but the man moved it alone anyway. My husband later found the glass shelf to the coffee table separate from the rest and badly scratched (not broken though). Unfortunately, the mover said nothing to us about the incident and I did not observe the damage until later that day.
The workers were on time. The job was "unload only". They were not prepared to protect our carpet but did provide a wet mat for the hall on request. Two of the men were college students. I'd prefer to use people who have more experience.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the kind remarks about our employee’s helpful and friendly nature. I’m sorry to hear about the situation with the glass top. Thankfully the piece was not broken, however we are sorry to hear of the scratch. When summer arrives we find the need to hire on extra movers to accommodate the seasonal increase in moves. I’m sorry if any of the movers seemed newer, we do always provide a well seasoned crew lead at any job sites with newer movers. We also do rigorous hiring procedures to ensure that even our newest members are strong, conscientious and polite individuals. If requested in advance we do offer carpet protection plastic rolls for sale. We're sorry if the crew did not have any of those in stock but we didn't see a note or request ahead of time for these to be brought out to the job site. Once more, we appreciate the kind words about our movers, and we will encourage them to perform two man carries more often on borderline items, to prevent similar issues in the future.

2 men showed up early and worked hard to get the truck unloaded. Everything put where we asked them to and they were very professional. We would use them again.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After you book with us, you should expect an introduction call from our office staff to go into further detail about your moving situation and to answer any pre-move questions that you may have. We enjoy working with our customers and look forward to assisting them in whatever way that we can.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

Our moving crew will call you when they are on the way to the customer's job site and we pride ourselves on arriving on-time. Once our crew arrives at the customer's residence, the movers will do a walk-through to analyze the items that need moved and to answer any further questions that the customer may have. After that, our movers will get right to work on getting you moved as safely and efficiently as possible.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

We recommend that customers have all boxes packed and sealed before our movers arrive (unless you have hired our company for a packing service). Please ensure that there are clear walk ways within the residence. We ask that all dresser drawers be emptied prior to moving. To save time and money , customers can also have beds disassembled and mirrors removed from dressers ahead of time, if possible.

What types of moves have you handled?

We handle residential and office moves. We can help pack, load and/or unload your moving rental truck, trailer or portable storage container. We also provide in-house furniture moves.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our company and staff enjoy working with our many customer's that we have had over the past 10 years. Each moving situation is unique and we pride ourselves on providing a top quality service and helping the customer reduce their stress on move day.

What training do you provide your crew members?

Our moving crew is background checked and trained in moving techniques so our crew can avoid injuries and move your items safely.
