In their own words
This is the absolute worst moving company. Do not book with them. It is such a scam. They act like they have the best prices but quote you an make your pay for time before the job is even down. I was quoted $1200 understanding that the job would go over then ended up having to pay $2165. Almost a thousand more. I wouldn’t mind paying that if the clock stopped at that time. Instead they told me what time they thought the job was going to end at and held my stuff hostage.
STAY AWAY! I was quoted $815 for 3 guys and four hours for a small two BR apartment 3 miles away from current address. They charged me $1545, broke my water line and ice making machine on my $ 3,000.00 refrigerator, dented and scratched my refrigerator doors all over, scratched my newly painted walls in several places, broke my furniture, and Sal talks to African Americans (his customers and workers) like we are filthy animals and like he’s an Italian mobster.
Is 0 stars possible? I used them 5 years ago and I’m only now (I don’t post reviews often and when I do they tend to be for positive reasons) ready to discuss it. After their movers showed up with nothing but tape and brown paper (no padding, no protection for delicate items - they were going to be storing my stuff for an unknown time as this was during Covid) i followed them to the warehouse.
The worst experience ever I would not recommend unless you want to replace your valuables. The set prices rises as they insist on wrapping paper and boxing items for which you did not request. My daughter's makeup palettes, PS5, and bedframe was never placed in storage as i requested . When I had my items returned and delivered to the new address, I notified the business and they stated, if we did not pack it our selves then we are not responsible, the PLAYSTATION 5 AKA PS5 was placed in it's box and the last…
Please do yourself a favor and Don’t hired this company. I have a Terrible experience. Omg . If I could give this company zero stars I would. They were rude, unprofessional, unprepared and to make the matter worse they also destroyed my furniture and the apartment walls. Do not hired this people , I would rather get someone at Home Depot parking lot.
used this moving company to move my furniture from the 2nd floor apartment to the 1st floor apartment. Easy, right?? Wrong. They came with a big truck that I didn't need, I guess it was for advertisement for my neighbors. There were three …
The owner is extremely unprofessional and does not treat his employees well what do ever not to mention he takes advantage of his customers this place should be avoided at all cost
Terrible unethical company. The way they treated me with my children is irreparable. Also, They did not care for my furniture properly. Disgusting company

In their own words
I hired Father& Son Co. 5 years ago for a moving job. I was highly satisfied with their service, so I recently hired them for the second time. The crew was well mannered; very professional; and knew what they were doing. I have bulky wardrobes, a large dining room set with glass-top table, among other furniture. They handled them with extreme care! I’m glad I don’t have to do due-diligence searches or going around asking for quotes anymore, because they are my go-to moving Co.
What an incredible experience with these movers! They helped me with a local move, and I was blown away by their efficiency. Not only did they offer a complimentary self-storage quote, but they also made the entire relocation process enjoyable. Their team was cheerful and paid attention to every detail. I'm genuinely amazed by their service!
Best in the business they came in like swat very professional and timing was on point. You can't ask for anything else.
Outstanding service and price. Kevin was on site and was amazing!!! Ask for him!!
