Do not recommend!! Horrible customer service from the coordinator assigned to help during the move process, she actually left us hanging multiple times not responding when there were major issues the day of pickup. They also decided to put someone else's stuff in the first 3rd of our truck and then treated us like we had over flow when that wasn't the case. They also damaged more items than I can count. The local management team is a total joke and wouldn't even return my calls when they knew we had issues.

Was giving one price, then had 2 additional charges sent to me. The moving team them self's were amazing. The back office is a crap shoot. Id recommend finding a local company that is upfront and honest. 3 prices over a single move 20 mins away is ridiculous. I even requested information and nothing would be sent via email. Only wanted to make phone calls. A standard sign of a company who doesn't want a paper trail to be held accountable too.

Cross country move CO to NC. Complete bait and switch. Booked a traditional move only to have it converted to wooden crates morning of the move. Multiple items damaged or destroyed. Once it came time to file a claim they denied half and …

I have moved 5 times in the past 7 years, all within the metro area. I hired Johnson Storage & Moving (located in Centennial, CO) for my most recent move (fall of 2020) based on my real estate agent’s advice. I have since told my agent NEVER to recommend this company again. The Johnson team moved my belongings from my house to storage (while it was being staged), and then roughly 5 weeks later, from storage to my new house. Each time, the moving team was understaffed.

I don't know what others are talking about but this was the worst moving experience of my life. I hired Johnson and United to move my family from Denver to Austin. My excitement over a new job quickly fell apart when most of our things arrived damaged and some things were even stolen. United basically forced us into either a lengthy claim process or $500. Why would they do that? To get rid of you. And Johnson was of no help whatsoever except to say sorry. There are many choices for movers - pick a different one.

Mixed bag. The important thing is, the job ultimately got done, but with conditions, expenses, and difficulties that were hidden from us at the outset, and ... most important: with outright refusal on Johnson's part to answer basic questions about terms when asked. The movers themselves did solid work, but the people behind the desks were not forthright or professional, and they treated us with backhanded disrespect, even though we were consistently straightforward and courteous to them.

I called yesterday to see if they had availability for moving some items on Friday. They checked with dispatch and they said they were available. I called this morning and the salesman said they were out 2 weeks. I will look for a smaller non corporate business.

Worst moving company we have ever hired. We moved out of state August 2021 and everything that Lisa and Janet promised us would happen didn't. We paid for a FULL pack on a Sat & Monday with load day on Tuesday. Johnsons S&M cancelled on us …

I have used Johnson Moving and Storage every time I have moved as an adult and highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and excellent service. The office staff are great, they make sure it all happens, great team, perhaps all of the work none of the glory, because the moving crew, wow! I just can’t sing their praises enough!! The guys who show up on site and do the heavy lifting are outstanding.

Our move went amazingly. Our driver handled all aspects of packing and unpacking. He personally went out and bought replacement parts to reassemble our bed when they were (temporarily) lost. Above and beyond. Johnson Storage even arranged the move of my electric car and stored it securely until we arrived a few days after the car did. I can highly recommend a move with this company.

Hats off to these guys. We hired them to get a couple of commercial coolers swapped out in my restaurant yesterday and they went above and beyond in getting the old one out. It was NOT an easy task and they handled it with an incredible professionalism and they helped out way more than I could have imagined. Thanks guys!!
