The rating breakdown

Worked out from 22 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

Update: I called them as requested in the reply. Was told the person I needed to speak with wouldnt be in until the afternoon. I left my info and a brief message with the man who answered the phone. No one has called and its been days. I hired this company after reading such great reviews. Sadly, My experience was not that great. According to Google it takes 14 min to get from their address to mine. They were to leave at 8am and be to me around 815.

If I could give no stars at all I would. He cashed out the job prior to the job being completed and asking me to give the packer a check for said amount to bring to him so he could pay her leaving me to pack the rest on my own. The garage hasn’t been packed my bathroom is left with unpacked boxes and drawers. My bedroom hasn’t even been started on. What kind business runs this way? If I could post pictures of the unpacked mess that is left behind I would and I’m going to try.

Initially they were a good company to hire, crew had a good sense of humor, good timing of loading & unloading. But the crew tore up the back of our loveseat at the top and denied it. We learned a lesson that we'd like to pass on. TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR FURNITURE BEFORE THEY LOAD IT AND WHEN THEY UNLOAD IT!!! I will not recommend them to anyone.

Courteous, professional and all around nice guys! Victor and Darren were fast and professional. Always moving and working, never standing around. We hired them to help us dig a few things out of storage and bring the items to the house. Once we paid them and they left we realized that we forgot to bring a desk from the storage unit. We called them and they met us at the storage unit, helped us dig out the desk and moved it into my daughters room. Very reasonable rate for four hours of moving. Highly recommend!

Claeys Brothers Moving & Storage assisted with moving all offices and contents of the county courthouse to another building across town. It was a massive undertaking with several moving parts and the entire process exceeded our expectations. The crew tore down and reassembled one office at a time which enabled us to continue service to the public with minimal interruptions. The crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and very patient with county personnel.
