1-star Google reviewRaj M.10 years ago
DON'T USE THESE LIARS AND THIEVES! THEY ARE CROOKS! The movers stole my wife's cell phone! They also damaged an entertainment center and cabinet table. Their supervisor named 'Bob' tried to deny that the mover's stole my wife's phone (even though he wasn't there) when it was in plain sight and four witnesses saw it go missing when no one else touched it. The movers denied seeing it.

Dear Raj, The company you name in the review is "Bauer & Son" we are Interior Moving Services, Bauer is a different completely un-related local moving company and we don't have any employees by the name of "Bob". We are sorry to hear of your bad experience but you have reviewed the wrong company.

The WORST EVER MOVERS!!! Interior Moving moved me in 2010 to my new house 3 miles away and held my things in storage for 2 months. It was a complete nightmare. They double charged me for the move. They claim it was 2 moves even though it was all written out on quote it was going into storage and then to the new house. They would not move it until I gave them another check!!!! Many of my items were broken that I had very carefully packed. They were extremely rude. Never ever use this business!

Horrible company. Movers arrived 3 hours late. Only after that was I told I was on-call. Movers were reckless with my furniture. At one point swinging my golf clubs into my desk breaking them. Owner wouldn't return my calls. They took their time, taking multiple breaks and going to the store down the street. Charging me for all this time. USE SOMEONE ELSE.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! First let me point out they DO NOT do background checks on their employees! I hired this company to simply load my items from my 3 bedroom home into my own moving van. I had asked them many times to use the moving pads and wrap (I supplied) so my furniture would not be damaged. To my surprise when I went to unload the truck they didn't do any of that so EVERY piece of furniture was damaged!!! The worst part of the entire experience, was that their movers are THIEFS!!!!

Michelle, We are deeply sorry for your negative experience with Interior Moving Services. As a family owned company, we make every attempt to completely satisfy our customers. When you stated that we did nothing, that is completely false.

1-star Google reviewMatt D.11 years ago
Absolutely awful experience! My wife was quoted 3 1/2 hours for our move over the phone. The movers showed up at 5 pm to start our move and we were told they would arrive between 11-1. The movers complained about the number of boxes and said that it would take significantly longer to move them and suggested that we move them ourselves later. I explained that this was not an option as we had to move everything out that day.
1-star Google reviewAdrian N.10 years ago
The move was first scheduled for 7am. I was notified the evening before about scheduling issues, and they would instead arrive late morning. They showed up at 3pm. Upon arrival, they strolled up to my 2nd floor apt without any blankets or dollies. By the time they actually started moving items, 30 minutes had passed since they first arrived. None of my items were wrapped in blankets before being hauled into the elevator/stairwell.

Mr. Ng: We apologize for the lateness of our crew on your move day. Scheduling issues beyond our control, required for a crew to arrive later than initially planned. It is not a common occurrence, however we did get there as soon as we possibly could.

2-star Google reviewDonn T.5 years ago
I was moving from one apartment into another apartment in the same complex. The 2 gentlemen arrived on time and gave me a quick rundown. I knew there was a 3 hour minimum, which I thought was too much for a 1 bedroom move. What I didn’t know is their travel time is deducted out of that 3 hours. So I actually had 2.5 hours... which I still thought was ample time for something that wasn’t even a 1 minute drive away. The 2 gentlemen asked me a lot of pointless and unnecessary questions and took lots of breaks.

Avoid these movers at all cost. I hired this local Rochester moving company to move my daughter into a 1 bedroom with loft apartment. We did all of the packing. The movers were to move her belongings from a house to her apartment. When I called to make the arrangements I was told it was a fairly easy quick move and that we had to pay the 3 hour minimum. I was planning on 6 hours total. They were so slow and took so many breaks that the total job took11.5 hours!

Tammy, We are sorry that you were not happy with our service. We at Interior Moving Services strive to make every customer happy. Your move in June of last year was an "On Call" move with no specific start time.

I had an amazing experience with Interior Moving Services from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely careful with all of my belongings. They handled everything with care, worked efficiently, and made what is usually a stressful day feel easy and organized. Communication was clear the entire time, pricing was fair with no surprises, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it in my new home.

Corey and Cornelius did an excellent job moving me from Rochester, NY to Albany, NY. They were prompt, efficient, and kept my belongings in tact. We had rainstorms all day and they still got the job done without delay, and I came out under budget which was a pleasant surprise. I did shop around for movers before finding Interior Moving Services and what makes this business stand out is that they are responsive, insured, had all the right supplies at no additional cost, and provided me with the paperwork needed for…

Fantastic movers! Corey and Kurtis were amazing and super fast but also very careful. I moved from a garden level 1 bedroom apartment to a 1 bedroom apartment on the third floor in another building within the same complex. Most of my furniture is from IKEA and I learned that many places do not deal with IKEA furniture because of particle board but these guys handled it with no problems.

5-star Google reviewChristine H.4 years ago
Moving out of our home of 33 years was stressful enough, so we were anxious about finding a moving company that was professional yet easy to work with. Interior Moving Services truly exceeded our expectations in all ways. Lester’s initial visit to give us our quote was fast and professional — he answered every question we had, and gave us a quote that was nearly spot-on when all was said and done. On moving day, our crew Charles, Dre, Hakeem and Ricky arrived on time and set to work immediately.
