1-star Google reviewBrian H.3 years ago
One of the worst experiences that I have ever dealt with from a moving company. Horrible communication with customers and especially their own drivers. No showed me at a scheduled appointment. When rescheduled 4 days later, they didn’t have the correct supplies to unload the equipment that I ordered, so they had to go back to the warehouse. Their customer service does not care at all when they drop the ball.

DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY! Damaged almost every piece of my good furniture! Hid all the damage, but took my money! It looks like they dropped some of my furniture down a flight of stairs. Even hit and damaged my new kitchen cabinets! Worst movers! Don’t use them and don’t believe their bogus insurance!

I have moved 8 times over the last 10 years. 4 out of which were long distance. I have to say, this was by far the worst one. I will preface this by saying the whole experience was nightmarish only because of their support manager. The …

5-star Google reviewKendra A.8 months ago
Absolutely incredible experience with Sterling Movers! From the very beginning, Kevin in sales set the tone for a smooth and stress-free move. He walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and was extremely responsive over email. It made the planning and packing so much easier so I was less anxious going into moving day. The moving crew was amazing - Tim, Josh, Kl-Otoniel, Brandon, Mark, Wayne, and Jordan showed up energized and ready to go.
5-star Google reviewStephanie G.7 months ago
My company used Sterling through a third-party vendor to pack and move laboratory equipment. Marcus and his team were prompt, incredibly organized, professional and friendly. We already planned to use Sterling for our upcoming move, and cannot recommend their services enough.
5-star Google reviewGerard C.6 months ago
My move, from FL to NY, was on the lighter side but was still treated with great care abd diligence. My driver was Natt Carbonneau. He was great on all fronts...keeping in touch with regular updates, flexibly coordinating on delivery date and time, and smooth, careful, attentive, and efficient delivery. Very satisfied, and highly recommend Sterling and especially Matt.

I can't say enough about how great Joe Clermont and his team were for our move. They were timely, professional, hard working and got everything done in a very efficient way. Everyone was very friendly and they went above and beyond with helping us move from NJ to VT. We would highly recommend them for your move.
