These two are TETRIS Masters! It was unbelievable how much of our stuff they stored in a PackRat, and how careful they were. Up and down a flight of stairs constantly as well. 1000% recommend them.

Cameron, Cody, and Lamarry were phenomenal. They were loading a PackRats container for an out of state move. Clearly knew what they were doing. I was worried I had too much stuff to put in the container, but they got it all in. I would definitely hire them again.
