1-star Google reviewJulie L.9 years ago
I find it hard to believe that these other people all had good experiences. Personally I was very disappointed with the move. I was missing several items to include tools, clothes, a mother's day gift, a half a box of rolled pennies which I believe equals $10. Not to mention that when i contacted the owner he was very divensive I told him to forget about everything but a bell that was very very important to my father has it has belonged to his great great grandfather.

Buyer be ware. He'll quote you low but will double his quote. Not good business. Beyond bad attitude and unprofessional .
Reply from the business

This was the third time Fatima used our services, and we truly appreciate her continued business over the years. We’re sorry to hear that she felt the price of her last move was unsatisfactory.

2-star Google reviewCorey C.Edited 7 years ago
Really good moving business. The guys handled my piano carefully and made it look easy. The problem is I was quoted 99/hour and no minimum was mentioned. I spoke with the man on the phone more than 3 times and it wasn’t mentioned. He knew I only had a piano and desk to move and the job would be short. It’s a 2 hour minimum. I was charged twice what I was expecting to pay. These are not the movers you want if you have a shorter job.
Reply from the business

Thank you for the kind words—we’re glad to hear your piano was handled with care. We’re sorry for any confusion regarding pricing. We do have a standard minimum for all moves, which is common in the industry and helps cover travel time, setup, and labor.

5-star Google reviewFrancis I.8 months ago
I've moved a lot over the years and i have never had a better experience than this. Most of them were nightmares this one was ridiculously care-free. Derek the owner is a straight up honest guy with honest and fair pricing. He cares about his business and that' so rare these days. We were moving heavy, expensive restaurant equipment and the team he sent, Tony and Jared were frigging amazing. Careful, fast, friendly and accommodating in every way.
Reply from the business

Thank you for such an incredible review. It truly means a lot. We know how stressful moving—especially heavy restaurant equipment—can be, so hearing that Tony and Jared made it a smooth, stress-free day is the best feedback we could ask for.

5-star Google reviewMarla B.7 months ago
Derek, the owner was very helpful on the phone and got me scheduled quickly. The team arrived on time, was thorough, and checked in to see if there was anything special, they should bring. I didn’t realize in advance that mattress bags or extra cardboard for mirrors would be needed, but they were able to 'MacGyver' the situation and still get everything safely into the POD. They completed the job in about two hours less than my previous movers, which was impressive.

Marla, thank you so much for your business and for leaving this amazing review! It was a pleasure working with you.

5-star Google reviewAmanda R.3 months ago
I cannot say enough great things about this moving team. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly hardworking. They handled every piece of furniture with real care, but what impressed me most was how they managed our large, heavy items up a tight staircase without a single complaint. They clearly knew what they were doing, took the time to protect walls and railings, and still kept the move moving quickly.
Reply from the business

Amanda, thank you for the incredible review! We’re glad the crew could safely handle the heavy furniture and tight staircase while still keeping everything efficient and stress-free.
