In their own words

2-star Google reviewMaureen D.6 years ago
On the day of our move overall things went quite smoothly, and the movers were very efficient. They finished over an hour earlier than what was estimated and there were three stops. They handled some difficult conditions on the stairs in new house with cardboard we had laid down to protect the carpet due to the rain. They also were able to take apart and put back together a bed with drawers that has been a challenge with other moves we have had in the past and none of our furniture was damaged.

DO USE USE THESE GUYS…THEY’RE DISHONEST They broke my “65 Sony Bravia Smart TV then changed my contract saying I never paid them to move my TV which is a lie. They also took other item off the contract saying they never moved them. They actually took the trouble to change the contract several times which I’m sure is not legal. They are liars and are dishonest. They also quoted me $512 in the beginning and then charged me $562.

I had scheduled a two-stop move—first my boyfriend's, then my own apartment—several weeks in advance with this company. They called the day before to confirm everything, and it seemed all set and ready. Today, the scheduled move day, I was told the movers would arrive between 1-4pm, and they would notify me at least 30 minutes before they were on their way. All my stuff was packed and ready, and I was anxiously waiting to hear from them.

*Updated from 1 to 2 stars* shortly after my review was posted Donna called to apologize. About a week after the owner also called. I understand this is a family owed business but I can only review what I experienced. I did go with another company but appreciate them reaching out. Called for an estimate and was met with a very rude person answering the phone. They were very short and sounded like I was bothering them with my questions.

my move took 5 hours, longer than usual ok they were careful in the beginning. My crew was great, really working hard, stuff was fitting. THEN the wheels came off, my girlfriend who decided to use the same company was sent "their largest van" and she said before they started and during her move that it was not big enough.
1-star Google reviewAhsan Q.6 years ago
We needed help move out a few large furniture items and decided to select the company based on previous google reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. As per the quote, the company was to move few furniture items, couple of boxes and disassemble/assemble a queen bed. Prior to the crew arriving the coordinator confirmed that the crew will disassemble/assemble the bed. Upon the crew's arrival, the crew lead refused to disassemble the bed stating that he was not notified.
1-star Google reviewDustin S.3 weeks ago
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with 2 Guys and a Van was one disappointment after another. The problems started before the move even began. The crew arrived over an hour late. The first truck didn’t arrive until approximately 10:10 AM, and the second truck didn’t arrive until around 10:20–10:30 AM. Yet my bill reflects a start time of 10:06 AM. I questioned the billing and never received a satisfactory explanation. During the move, the crew caused significant damage to my wall.
2-star Google reviewJavy P.4 years ago
I do NOT recommend them and won’t use them again. The guys seems nice but didn’t care about our items at all. They were stacking boxes marked “fragile” 2 or 3 at a time on their back while completely smashing the boxes. They scratched every piece of furniture and dinged up our walls in the process. Then the worst part is we had a cheap couch that comes apart easily and comes back together. It’s just a metal frame and cushions that come off.

5-star Google reviewOlivia O.a month ago
10/10 recommend. Ahead of the move date, the company was communicative and quick to respond. On move day, Frankie, Henry and Di Mario showed up on time, worked efficiently, and were very friendly. They wrapped the furniture and handled our things with care - nothing showed up scratched, dented, or broken. Additionally, prices were reasonable with no hidden fees and an accurate quote. Could not recommend them enough!
5-star Google reviewGohusan 7.a year ago
Considering this is my first time using a moving company, I was not really sure what to expect. But I am glad i chose 2 guys and a van. They made moving my college daughter's studio apartment stuff a breeze. My Daughter had to move her stuff after her current landlord wasn't going to renew her lease so we had to move her to a new location. Mind you she was on the 3rd floor. So when we had to first moved her in, I had to move All the heavy stuff, No easy task i can assure you.
4-star Google reviewAnne L.5 years ago
I am thankful that two guys and a van were able to help with my move. Erin and his team were very cordial and able to accommodate when things wouldn’t fit into the elevator. The only reason I took off one star is because one of the movers was constantly on his phone when I was not looking, which upsets me because you pay by the hour (in 15 min increments).
5-star Google reviewSarah P.2 months ago
We had such a great experience with Two Guys and a Van from start to finish. Donna was wonderful to work with during the booking process — super helpful, responsive, organized, and just genuinely easy to communicate with, which made everything feel a lot less stressful right from the beginning. On moving day, Chris, Jeremy, and Kierre were absolutely amazing. They showed up on time, worked incredibly hard the entire move, and were so careful with all of my belongings.
