In their own words
Moved me from O'brien Florida They packed up my Rattan lamp, 3 step stool plus all the boxes that were already packed. When it came to moving me, a senior who had my stuff in their warehouse, when they moved me into my new apartment in Deland, Florida they lost my 50+year Rattan floor lamp, my stool and a few boxes with heirlooms of my Mom and Grandma fur stoles, my gloves, scarves and boxes of precious things. I had lost my partner of 18 years and this was very emotional for me.
I was very disappointed how our complaints with our move were handled with the owner. The movers did not deduct the time for the break the movers decided to take from our old house to our new one. The movers also told us that the initial inventory that we gave them, a 3rd mover should have been scheduled and since they only brought 2, my husband had to act as the 3rd mover in order to complete the move faster. They estimated 4.5 hours and it took 8 hours.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to write your review. Your "complaints" were addressed and handled accordingly. You submitted an inventory list to our company and a quote was generated. Your inventory was estimated to be 3,820lbs.
Unless you enjoy paying a company that shows up several hours late for their scheduled moving time with little explanation, damages the walls to your NEWLY BUILT HOUSE, damages or loses parts to your furniture, and takes almost no accountability for their mediocre customer service, I would not recommend hiring Cento Family Moving & Storage for your moving needs. I'll spare going into lengthy detail (though I could almost write a short novel about our previous misadventures with them).
We heard of this company on the radio. When they got to our new house with a full truck, the driver took massive chunks out of our brand new driveway, saying he wasn’t used to driving the larger truck and didn’t realize he couldn’t negotiate the slope. Ok, it happens, we tipped them anyway. They immediately called their supervisors. Cento didn’t call or give me any refund. I only wanted my driveway fixed. For MONTHS I waited. I emailed and was told they would send someone out to fix it. Crickets.
Over a month ago I called several different moving companies to get price quotes and information. 1 company I called said their truck wasn't large enough, and 2 other companies said they could accommodate all the furniture I told them we owned. I chose Cento Moving because they offered a fair price and were available on the day I needed. So I paid the deposit. In total I told them we had 54 pieces of furniture to move and was told they would send their largest truck.
Hi Jacqueline, We are sorry for delivering a less than perfect experience during your move. At the same time, we are proud to have fixed any mishaps during your moving process in a timely fashion while keeping your final charges under budget.
I used this company because of the high reviews. Bad idea. This is my first review and please don't use this company, pay more elsewhere. If you want facts here are facts 1. They tried to upcharge me but I paid attention to what time they finished, one of thw guy lied and tried to say I went 20 mins over the time. 2 I literally drove in front of the truck and they drove wayyyyyyy below the speedlimit so they can burn time. 3.
Hi Anastassia, Your review couldn't be further away from reality. It is unfortunate that from time to time we have to be faced with a customer who wants to move for free and try to strongarm the company to gain some undeserved benefits.
Worse overall experience ever. Gave me an estimate based on pictures and assured me it was accurate. Angelo, the employee who did the estimate seemed offended when I suggested they performed a physical inventory to insure the estimate was accurate. Original estimate:$5026. It turned out they had underestimated by almost $2,000. Actual charge $6,900.
Dear Carmen, While we appreciate your feedback, we respectfully disagree with it. We regret that you feel our service did not meet your expectations, as we strive for transparency and fairness in our estimates, which are based on the information provided by our clients.
MOVED 30 MILES , IN THAT SHORT DISTANCE, TV WAS DESTROYED, CHAIR WAS BROKEN, GLASS SHELF BROKEN, 3k BRAND NEW REFRIGERATOR DENTED, SCRATCHED, AND HANDLE BROKEN. 2 HOLES IN WALL, MOLDING TORN OFF FLOOR. 3 APPOINTMENTS MADE TO ACCESS DAMAGE, WITH A NO SHOW.. ..NO CALL.... MOVERS TOOK PICTURES OF DAMAGES TO SEND TO THE "BOSS." I ASKED IF DRAWERS COULD BE REMOVED, WAS TOLD IT WASNT NECESSARY AND DRESSERS WERE TURNED ON END AND HARDWARE BROKEN, ITEMS FELL BEHIND DRAWERS MAKING IT UNABLE TO CLOSE DRAWERS.

In their own words
I decided to hire these movers because I kept hearing great things on Real Radio 104.1 Monsters in the Morning.... well they did not disappoint. From the booking with Renee to moving day, the entire experience was smooth and easy. Moving can already be stressful, but the team of 3 (Jerry, Corey and Eric) assigned to my job was professional, prompt, careful and efficient. I moved from a single level home to an apartment on the third floor and let me tell you- these guys know what they are doing.
Dear Evin, Thanks for leaving us such an amazing review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed moving with us and that we exceeded your expectations. It is always great to see our hard work translated into happy customers. We wish you all the best in your new home. The team @ Cento Moving
Chris and his company handled a move for us from Florida to Colorado. I knew that he booked up quickly and contacted him a few months before our move, and it was good I did. I was impressed with Chris and the process from start to finish. Chris himself came out to our place to give an estimate, which was fair. We also contracted them to tow one of our vehicles along with the household items. On moving day, Chris came on time with two associates.
Thank you Laura. It was a pleasure doing business with you and your husband.
Cento movers were great from Connie who got me an excellent rate to Jerry and Brian moving my furniture with care and speed! I will continue to use their company anytime I move in Central Florida! I highly recommend them to everyone!! I'm adding to this review. Brian and Bryant moved me from storage facility to my apartment. They were fast and courteous! Cento gives you a more than fair price IF you list ALL of your belongings during the premove inventory quote.
Hi Samantha, Thanks for the awesome review! Connie, Jerry and Brian are truly great and we are happy to have them in our team. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Do yourself a favor, hire these movers. We had an excellent move with Cento. We will definition use them again. The professional crew (Sherif, Carlos, and Dominik) were very careful with all of our items, yet very quick in their execution. They listened to our needs and efficiently loaded, mobilized, and unloaded all of our furniture. Everything was wrapped for safe transport. Again, the crew was very qualified. These were not just some rented labor.
Hi Chris, Thank you for your amazing feedback. It was our pleasure to have you as our customer. Our guys sure appreciate to see their names in the reviews. All the best! The Team @ Cento Moving
