I hired these guys to move my furniture from my storage unit to my new apartment. The move was on 9-6-2023 at 9 am. They showed up around 9:20 and that’s okay no big deal. Upon getting to the storage unit everything was ready for them and I was moving my TV myself because I didn’t have a box. They packed the truck up and then asked about the TV and I said it’s okay I’m putting it in my car.

Be cautious with this company. I hired 2 guys and 1truck to help me move to my new place. Was first charged $30 off the bat for a traveling fee. I was told that my location was outside of Charlotte. I found that funny because my city and zip was still in Mecklenburg Cty. Anyways I chopped it up because I still needed the help. I scheduled 9am appt. they arrived late but didn't sweat it as they had the truck packed in about an hour.

It took them six hours to move me from a 1 br apartment to another 1 br apartment. I’ve moved many times over the last decade , and it has never taken a two man crew more than 4.5 hours tops to do the same job. They also would not put some of my items in the truck, so I have to make a trip back to the apartment to retrieve the other items. Every few drop offs to the truck they would come back up and ask me what was going. I kept saying everything but they kept asking.

Hi Myata, I truly appreciate your feedback. I'm glad to hear that our booking team provided excellent customer service, but I'm really sorry to learn that the moving experience did not meet your expectations.

We had an awful experience with this moving company. They were more affordable than others, so we decided to go with them. I called weeks in advance and asked if they charged an extra fee for moving safes. I was asked to send a picture via text, and said they’d let me know. I sent pictures and received a confirmation that they would not charge extra for moving the safe. I thanked them and then locked in their services. Weeks later the moving date came, and the team showed up on time.

Hello, we have a few problems with your review. We do understand that there indeed was a misunderstanding with the safes, but in the end we honored our word and moved them free of charge. Something no other company would do for you.

**BEWARE** This company will "gouge" YOU!!! This company was hired by my niece to move her household goods 28 miles to her new home and it was the MOST HORRIFIC experience she has had in her life. What should have been a 4-6 hour move was stretched into a 9 hour move. When this company was initially hired over the phone, she had to give a detailed description of everything that required Hector and his sons to move and was told this move would only require 1 truck (one trip to the new home).

I reached out to Hector & Sons because we were on a time crunch on finding movers at the last minute and when I saw they had pretty good reviews, I figured I was making the right choice. The first indication of unprofessionalism should've been a sign for me when they texted instead of called, but I figured we are in the technological age so it seems to be the new norm. They said they'd be sending a 26 foot truck at $90 an hour for 2 men with a $30 travel fee and that sounded fine.

I was very disappointed in this company after receiving a referral from someone. I had a local move to a smaller house. I called to set up the move and spoke to Natalia. She was very responsive, I told them the size of the home, contents, etc. They quoted me $130/hr for 3 guys and they would send their large truck. Day of the move comes and it looks like it is supposed to thunderstorm, I called early in the morning and advised that I could postpone the move 1 day if the rain was going to be an issue.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's clear we fell short in a number of areas during your move, and I apologize for any frustration this has caused. Your feedback is crucial for us, and I'd like to address your concerns and work toward a resolution.

I had two movers from Hector and sons move me in July 2016. One of the movers was friendly, the other who appeared to be the leader wasn't friendly at all. He walked into My Home & immediately began telling me what he could and could not move in a two hour time frame. Very stern, he didn't introduce himself, he didn't say good afternoon, hello or nothing!!! He went straight to stating what he could and could not do. Talking at me not to me. He came across as being very headstrong! Not very professional.

Moved with them from a 2-story, 4bd/2.5ba house to a storage unit (all in Matthews). The woman that scheduled the move was friendly and kept us updated on their availability throughout the week leading to the move. The 3 man team (Armando, Eric, Emiliano) showed up promptly in the morning and got to work wrapping fragile items, furniture, and then moving the already packed boxes to the truck they brought for the move. The pack job in the truck was great and nothing shifted during the drive.

We are super happy to have made your moving a pleasant experience. Looking forward to your next move ;)

The first thing I want to say is that I had three different companies quote me for a quick move 15 minutes up the highway (less than a week’s notice) for my 3000 sq foot home. The first company came out looked around and asked for $9000. The second company came out and quoted $4000. Hector and Sons didn’t need to come out and were able to quote me at around $2000.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING — HECTOR & SONS MOVING! Moving hundreds of miles from Charlotte, North Carolina, all the way to Scranton, Pennsylvania is no small undertaking, but Hector & Sons Moving made the entire experience remarkably smooth and stress-free. A very special shout-out to the fabulous duo, Michael & Sebastian — the SUPERMEN of moving! 💪 These two were simply phenomenal: energetic, careful, courteous, incredibly strong, and always ready to tackle the next challenge with a great attitude.
5-star Google reviewCynthia S.7 years ago
Hector & Sons first moved some of our stuff/treasures from our home of 18 years to two storage units for our kids. A few days later, they came back and loaded up one huge truck and then half of a medium sized truck. They stored it all at their facility overnight, then the next day, they went to our storage unit and finished loading up the second truck, and after that, proceeded to our 2 story condo to unload. Not one thing was broken.
