In their own words
Moved me late afternoon: arrived 1440 and finished about 2000 The boys were tired working since about 0800 and two moves. They changed one/two movers late in afternoon which was oK. However, I had furniture damaged and took anew blue moving blanket that was my personal one. I had scrapes, dents, and furniture contents mixed up--furniture obviously turned on side or slid into spaces that did not fit. Also I wanted plastic covers on my mattress and one of the newer movers said they didn't do that.
The owners of this company are rude and dishonest. There works Scratched the side of my car while moving my Neighbor.. Have photo proof and eye witnessed by other neibour's who were walking their dog. Called to tell them what happened and before I could even get full sentence out the owners wife sharply stated.. “we were no were near your car, try to prove it we will use our works as witnesses on our side” and hung up the phone!
Martin movers no good overcharge .Its sad when u tell all ur freinds on Facebook to drop a 5 star on yall. 😥 i seen and heard how u talk about everyone. …
You have never moved with us!!!
Absolutely unprofessional crew. We were sent 3 kids, no supervision and they didn’t do any packing, don’t touch electronics (not what they stated at booking), and just overall bad. I started out the day by telling them the better you do the better you’re tipped. Prior to them arriving I went to the bank and grabbed 1000 cash for tipping above the moving cost. I have moved probably 15 times in the last 20 years because of my career, this was by far absolutely without a doubt the worst experience to date.
Good afternoon Mike, I’m sorry you felt you had a bad experience. I will address your prejudices against younger adult men later. For the move, you told Martin during the offloading that the gentleman in the phone told you that we would pack.
Samuel was a great guy and was always taking care of his customers strong man and very nice I am so upset to hear he’s leaving this company when he work for me he was always there on time and he always had a smile and sad but I wont be using this company no more I’ll just give him a call thank you Samuel for everything and stay humble when I need you I will contact you ASAP.
You have never moved with us ! he did not leave he was fired and and if he worked for you why isn't he still working for you? and how do you know his everyday Behaviors ?
QUOTED ESTIMATE OF $400 TO $500 WITH TWO PEOPLE on the phone. Caused stress at front door on arrival. We need three people,there's stairs, $800 job. Beware! Eurotheives.

In their own words
My wife and I have been married 44 years and in that time we have moved 38 times. Yeah – that’s right, 38 times. So we know a thing or two about moving and moving companies. Martin’s was recommended to us by a friend and so we included them in the array four companies we got bids from by using sources like BBB and Manatee Chamber of Commerce. Martin arrived on time to provide us with an estimate for this local move. He was friendly, polite and very professional.
Thank you Bob, We appreciate the positive feedback!
We are about to start a major renovation of our Anna Maria Island Condo and needed to move everything into storage. We hired Martin's Moving to do a full-pack move and could not have been happier with the result. Bernadette was wonderful to deal with and kept us informed throughout the process. The two women who packed us were wonderful and Martin and his team moved us carefully and quickly.
thank you !!
Our movers Tim, Cadin and Calin were fantastic. We just moved down to FL from MA and of course things happen and we arrived a few days later than originally planned. I called Bernadette this morning in the hopes they would be able to squeeze us in to move our heavier objects, and they were thankfully accommodating. Our movers were later than expected at their first job but called gave us a heads up, (we were an add on job so not their fault at all for not planning considering this fact).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give Martins Moving 10 stars, I absolutely would! From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. Moving can be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do, but Eric, Andrew, and Daniel made it feel effortless. These guys were the definition of professional, hardworking, and genuinely caring. They showed up on time, treated every item with incredible care and worked with amazing efficiency while maintaining a positive attitude the entire day.
Thank you for using us .
