1-star Google reviewMary W.3 years ago
I do not recommend Bayside Moving & Storage. The sales rep was good and accommodating. This was appreciated because I had no help either making arrangements to move or unpacking at my destination. As the packing and then loading/delivery progressed, there were problems that I think the sales rep had no control over the people hired. I had a good packer and a bad packer. Anything that was broken or damaged was done by the bad packer.

We hired Bayside to move us to Florida. They came with a beat up old moving truck with a different company logo. They were very unprofessional and broke some of our furniture. When hired they told us they were very good at moving motorcycles as we had two very expensive motorcycles to move along with the furniture. Not only did they wreck some expensive stuff but they also scratched and dented the motorcycles causing thousands of dollars in damage.

5-star Google reviewDave F.5 years ago
I would highly recommend Bayside Moving & Storage for your next move. The Salesman Bryan was extremely helpful in putting together a plan for moving our furniture into their storage facility and making it easy for us to arrange a delivery when we were ready at our final destination and the pricing was very competitive. We had two movers move our very large home and they handled the move very efficiently.

They helped us out on such short notice with unloading a moving truck. Arrived on time, didn't complain about the challenging sets of stairs, took care with all of our things, were friendly and funny to ease the stress of moving. Highly recommend!

We moved from Michigan to Georgia. Good review and estimate. They weren't the cheapest, but no extra charges. I was concerned our items would needed to be off-loaded from the van and shuttled into our new home. This proved to be the case, but there was no extra charge. We had a lot of items to move and only 3 items were damaged; one we packed, a broken cement statue that was repaired prior to delivery, and a glass hurricane lamp packed by the movers.
