In their own words
The two guys who helped me move were very nice. However, it took almost six hours to move a one bedroom apartment. I noticed a lot of the furniture had new scratches or dents. This was very noticeable because the furniture is brand new, was put together in the apartment and had never been moved before now. They ended up damaging the walls pretty badly to the house I moved into. Multiple dents, scratches and one so bad it ripped off the dry wall down to the metal corner guard.
Hi Alexa, I am sincerely sorry you had this experience on your move. This is not characteristic of how we do business at all. Please call or text me at your earliest convenience. I will be happy to make things right with you. Joe Lewis Owner | Managing Partner [phone removed]
Customer service is very very very poor. Very similar to the other moving companies they just want to rack up time so that they can charge you more money. My mom used this company to move her furniture and they had such poor customer service that the owner offered her half off her next move. Well when we went to use that half off they didn’t honor it going back on their word and now all of a sudden they are only offering 30% off and they began adding extra fees they weren’t given on our initial quote.
Hi Azaundra. We have spoken to your mother (Brandi) and we have presented the old text messages to both of you referencing that we would offer a 30% discount off of a future move (not 50%). Your mother happily agreed to this arrangement.
Very disappointed with my recent move on Sat March 30th with Top Dog. I hired two men and one truck to help move from my 1BR 898 sq ft apartment to a 1BR 915 sq unit apartment about 10 miles away. I can't remember their names but I've attached an image of one of the guys from the company Facebook and the guy driving the truck was white with brown hair.
Incredibly disappointing and appalling experience. We hired this company to pack and move our entire home, but after the move we discovered they left multiple boxes and personal belongings behind, completely unpacked and never transported to our new house. When my wife called the owner, his response was unprofessional, defensive, and completely lacking in customer service.
Hello Damyan, When speaking with your wife, I took full accountability for our movers leaving the pictured items behind. We offered to immediately return to your previous residence to retrieve the items (free of charge), but your wife declined this offer.
I’ve used Top Dog for several moves and recommended them to friends and family over the years for one reason - this is a company you can trust. But those feelings are shattered after my last experience. I’ll never use them again and I’ll be warning others to steer clear. The crew they sent was a joke. They moved at a painfully slow pace, showed zero urgency and were completely disorganized. At one point, I found the crew lead wandering around on the wrong floor of my building with a load of my belongings.
Hi Michelle. Per our recent phone conversation…regarding the desk that could not be assembled…we asked you to send us a photo of this item so we could send our handyman to assemble it (free of charge). You agreed to this resolution, but you still have not sent us a photo.
Moved at the glacier speed. Movers were supposed to be at the pods facility between 11-1. We showed up at 11 to make sure we were on time. Around 1:15 we called the company to make sure we were still good. They proceeded to tell us the movers were on their way but stuck in traffic. Now the window time was moved to 1-2. Okay, so we sat around another hour. Again no one showed up. They called us around 2:30 and stated they were still in traffic and now they would be arriving closer to 4.
I contacted them to help with a BIG move and they lied to me. I followed their process as it was presented to me. I started lining up my life, including people coming to help me. I was shocked that about 4 hours later they called to tell me and said that the day I thought was reserved for me was given away. The manager expected me to know their internal process. I even had him listed to my call that was recorded to prove that what I understood to be the process was how it was communicated to me.
Hi Tiffany, I want to begin by apologizing for your experience with me and our team yesterday. I took a closer look at your initial call with one of our team members and found that we mistakenly told you we had availability for two trucks that morning, and failed to mention our “first come, first…
I am a property manager. They charged our resident to have the furniture removed from the property and then left it at our dumpster. We have signs stating no furniture dumping is allowed. They said they have a voicemail from the resident allowing it HOWEVER the signs from the property state not to. We had to pay hundreds to get the furniture removed and Top Dawg refused to take responsibility for their mover's actions.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We take concerns like this seriously and are sorry for the frustration this caused you and your resident. At the time of the incident, we made several attempts to reach out and discuss the situation but did not receive a response.

In their own words
Top Dog moving was great about communicating with us throughout the process from estimate to move day. The friendly and skilled crew arrived on time, assessed the job, got right to work, making good time loading up. When they encountered some difficulty disassembling an antique bedframe, they consulted with me, and we figured it out together with no damage! The unload went smoothly as well. The final bill was very close to the original estimate. Great value for the excellent service we received.
Thank you for the kind words! We are glad to hear your moves went well and we are lucky to have so many friendly and experienced crew members. If you ever need any additional assistance with future moves, please let us know!
I had a great experience with Top Dog Moving and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional moving company. If you’re searching for reliable movers or local movers, this team is excellent. The moving crew arrived on time, were extremely professional, and worked hard the entire time. They carefully wrapped and protected all of our furniture, loaded the moving truck efficiently, and handled everything with care.
Hi Brandon, Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear that our team made your move smooth and stress-free. At Top Dog Moving, we pride ourselves on being reliable movers who treat every item with the utmost care. It was a pleasure helping you settle into your new home.
I had a phenomenal moving experience with Top Dog Moving today! Out of roughly 10 companies I called, Top Dog had the most competitive rates and didn’t require a deposit required, just a two-hour minimum, and a $100 distance fee (I’m moving 30 miles) which I thought was reasonable. I was a little skeptical because the competitive price, but the quality of service was outstanding. They assigned three movers to my one-bedroom apartment at no extra charge (other companies tried to upcharge for that).
No one likes to move but I am a chronic mover, (ugh) so I have seen the mediocre and the worst. Where have these guys been all my life??? Joe, the owner and Kemahn, Dany, Darrel an Eddie ..was the awesome crew we were blessed to be assigned...and from the moment of booking to the very last box off the truck. Exceptional Company. Exceptional leadership on site and the attention to detail and care of my items and the home, they treated my things like they were their own. Over the top!
Glad that we could serve you again, Lisa! Thanks for all of your kind words about our team!
