1-star Google reviewLaura Z.7 years ago
they had one of their guys drive my car from Atlanta/Dacula I was missing a $600 laptop out of its case and a $150 Ninja coffee maker. Then when we went in to pay our bill, overcharged $1,000. Any way you look at the bill and add it up, we were over charged $1,000. And it was $1,000 over quoted price. They kept my stuff overnight, I called to check on my car(which had missing items) owner didn't even know they had my car or where it was.

Used them twice. 1st move the guys stopped to talk with me and my friend that came to help with the move. If not for that it might have taken a bit longer than the quoted time. But he was friendly and just a chatter box. Second move the guys where nice and went right to work. Both times they came late. I was told on the second move 30 min before expected arrival time that the guys would be 4 to 4 and half hours late. Then tried to get me to reschedule.

Hi Jacob, I am the new owner of Hood Moving since the spring of 2024 and i'm not sure why you posted this review. We have not moved you nor have I given you an estimate for a job. This information above is inaccurate to who we are as a company and the great work that our team does.

1-star Google reviewStephanie P.4 years ago
Giving a 1 star because ZERO isnt an option. Very unprofessional. No response when asked for someone to come fix the yard. After leaving a 1 star review with facts, he responded very spitefully. Do yourself a favor and use someone else

This guy is a crook. He doesn’t even deny it. He was actually proud to offer us one price, then hold our belongings hostage until we paid 30% more.

Poor customer service! They give you a low estimate to get the job. Once they are hired, miraculously the total price jumps up. The driver Stanley has THE WORST ATTITUDE, got mad at me when I asked the loader how many boxes was he using because it's extra! I'm the customer and can ask what I want and to whom I want! Stanley was VERY nosey asking me my financial business and even told me to tip the movers? Stanley was Completely out of line. I did not listen to anything he had to say.

Hi Nelle, I am the new owner of Hood Moving since the spring of 2024 and i'm not sure why you posted this review. We have not moved you nor do I have an employee named Stanley. This information above is inaccurate to who we are as a company and the great work that our team does.

2-star Google reviewRobin S.6 years ago
I’m a single mom who after many years of renting was finally able to buy a house, so I was very excited and yet cautious about finding a mover with the best value. Hood moving had good reviews on Angie’s List and after getting 3 separate companies to give me estimates, I went with Hood Movers and I am sorry I did. The owner, Hood Capley was very nice on the phone but didn’t ask many questions as the other quotes I got did, just basically how many bedrooms, upstairs or down.

Stay away from this company. If I could give a negative star, I would. I scheduled this company for a move on December 13th at 3PM. The movers called me around 1PM saying that they're running behind and they'll be there around 4 PM because they're doing another move. So imagine my surprise when it's 6PM and they still haven't showed or called. After calling multiple times and going straight to voicemail, I decided to use another phone number that they don't have. Of course they picked up then.

Very unprofessional. Showed up 2 1/2 hours late. Talked more than they moved. Originally was supposed to be a 5 hour move ended up taking 10. They suggested that I pack more to save money. The lead guy kept talking about his hookup stories to my girlfriend. And I have yet to find my medication even though I have unpacked everything in my house and its all accounted for except my medication.

5-star Google reviewHillary A.7 months ago
These guys are professionals through and through. Nick was prompt and clear in his communication. His crew arrived on time and were simultaneously careful and quick. I was also impressed with how respectful they were both of me and my belongings. They might not be the cheapest ones out there, but they were worth every dollar. I’d happily use them again and highly recommend New Journey to anyone wanting reliable and skilled movers.

Thank goodness for Hood Moving, they made our move date much less stressful compared to other moves we've had. We closed on the house we were moving into on the same day as our move, and we are so grateful everything went exactly as planned. Our moving crew was punctual, and was able to back their huge truck up our steep driveway (impressive), which made loading go much quicker compared to our previous movers.

5-star Google reviewTiffani G.a month ago
This team was wonderful. My interactions with Liz made me feel so comfortable and I felt she was very thorough during the video walk through of all our things. We had the team pack our entire house which included the usual bookcases, couches etc but also we had a piano and a couple large exercise machines. We only moved about 8 miles but it was so nice to have someone else do all the heavy lifting of loading/packing/unloading for us. The guys were great.

Tiffani, thank you for this! So glad you felt comfortable with us from the start, and that the crew took such good care of everything, your home included. We loved being part of your move and really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Thanks for trusting us!
