I decided to go with this company because it had good reviews but my experience with them was not good. The movers broke my dressers that are apart of my bed. The SHOVED the drawers into the wrong sides crooked so they were sticking out so I tried pulling them out to put them in correctly and the barring's feel out on the floor. I contacted them and sent pictures the next day to inform them of the problem. I didn't get a response so I then called them the following day of sending the pictures.

We did speak and yes Andy was gonna come by and take a look at the bed. Andy was unable to swing by because of his work load. You called back and I mentioned I would have our handy man come by and take a look at it I sent him your details then received this one star review which is understandable.

I met up with Ultimate 2 movers with a truck. I arrived there in my car at 2:40pm Sunday May 5th, 2024 They were 2 cars behind me. Red flag they wanted to get paid at 2:40pm sitting on the behind not yet in the old storage gate. 😳. They did everything fast and took a 15 minute break but didn't communicate when they were going to start. So, they began in 10 minutes instead of 15😳.

4 stars we will take it… Thank you for your business…. Oh wow 4 stars turns into 2 stars. No one at any point notified me about a missing phone. I didn’t have a clue until I’m going through these reviews and spotted this review, which at first was 4 stars without any comments.

I was hopeful I would have a good experience with Ultimate Movers, but if I’m being honest, I would not recommend them. I provided a fairly detailed listing of items and specifically mentioned I had more than 25 boxes. I was quoted a flat rate of $699 for a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom move. The crew showed up late, and upon arrival asked me why I didn’t request 3 crew members. With attitude. Excuse me, it’s not MY job to staff the crew.

Nicole im sorry you walls were scrapped and there were dents in the walls. I wish you would’ve reached out to me about this issue. We actually have a guy that repairs walls, because it happens sometimes.

JANUARY 2026–SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO HOME (and likely dryer unit) Hired these guys to move furniture into a brand new build. Gouged parts of walls on multiple floors, gouged the wood of a railibg and, we’ve recently come to suspect, cracked multiple spots of the dryer door. The owner to his credit sent someone out to make things right, but the drywall repair work is patchy and uneven. In fact, the wood repair guy who came to fix the railing repaired a drywall gouge he saw in his area and did a better job.
Reply from the business

We addressed your concerns properly each time you brought them to our attention. Initially, you mentioned a Nick in the railing no problem we offered to send someone out a few days later you reported holes in the wall and we again responded quickly and sent a team member to take care of it.

2 guys showed up felt really really rushed. I let them know to take their time but they didn't. They didn't bother tetrising anything, just threw it all in the containers. 2 guys showed up were not friendly and again unprofessional, despite me even offering them food and drinks. They were also very reluctant to wrap everything and then put the padding in them and wrap them again i had my back turned for a few minutes and they just shoved everything in the uboxes.
Reply from the business

Ok ok. Yes my guys are fast and efficient at what they do. I’m just here to make it make since. My guys were reluctant to wrap your items, but then put pads over your items and then wrapped them with shrink wrap??? So they were very protected, YES THATS WHAT WE DO.

The whole experience was terrible. I have 0 box and empty furniture. It took them 4.5 hr to just move a home of 1200 SF with 2 beds. The movers are working super slowly and sleepy all the time. They said they were up late last night and they have to postponed the moving time from 9am to 11am. The schedule is running late and they somehow messed up their truck in the morning and the moving work is paused for 2-3 hr to fix the issue and they end up rented an Uhaul to continue. We provided them cold drinks.
Reply from the business

Well I want to say SORRY your moved turned into a nightmare. For one our truck wouldn’t start due to wrong gas put in the truck. And yes my guys were tired from the night before we worked late that night. Due to COVID we’re also swamped with work and trying to accommodate everyone on our schedule.

My husband and I had scheduled a move with Ultimate Movers LLC, three weeks in advance. We were told the company was down a mover the day of our scheduled moving, and they would have to call us back. We didn't hear from them for over an hour on an update, so we called and texted many times. Finally, I received a text that said it wasn't looking good for them to show up today based on a lack of movers for the 2 man job. I can definitely understand that things happen, and employees get sick etc.
Reply from the business

I’m really sorry for the inconvenience… I rely on my guys to do there jobs daily… We we’re short guys that day and that’s not your fault but things happen that’s out of my control. As far as being able to reschedule you was not an option due to our schedule being booked until Sep.

*Must READ* This company came highly recommended and I HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT WORKING with them. My reasoning is I had an appointment and communication with Lloyd was perfect until the day of The move. I was provided a timeframe of between 4-7pm. Around 2 I was made aware That the truck size I had reserved was stuck in Ohio and it was suggested that if I could move some of my items my self that would be helpful. I understand that sometimes things occur so I was fine with that since the 16ft truck was available.
Reply from the business

Sorry we couldn’t accommodate your move for that day. We try to be perfect but we’re not… I did contact another company for you… Again truly sorry we couldn’t help you….. this rarely happens. So sorry again have a blessed one

I had an outstanding experience with Ultimate Movers in Brownstown Charter Township. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and care. Lloyd, the owner, was incredibly friendly, straightforward, and transparent about pricing. Their rates were very fair especially considering the high quality of service. My movers, Josh and Bryan were fantastic. They were punctual, efficient, and extremely careful with all my belongings.

Sam, Jared, Andy and Pop were awesome! Not only were they friendly with great personalities, they showed up on time and were the fastest movers we have ever used!! It was freezing out too! They did a great job wrapping and moving items and nothing was damaged in the move. They had a ton of boxes and bags to move in addition to TVs, treadmill, patio furniture, stairmaster, and furniture. They completed the entire move in a timely manner and at a great price. I would highly recommend these guys and this company!

Ultimate Movers moved us into our new home yesterday and all I can say is WOW! I chose Ultimate Movers based on their glowing reviews online and now I can see why they are so highly rated. Lloyd was super friendly and helpful on the phone. I really appreciated the fact that he called to confirm the day before with a time frame. Donovan, Richie and Jared were right on time and did a quick walkthrough of our home to go over what they were taking. They were all very polite and introduced themselves.

I spoke with owner Lloyd on several occasions and he was the perfect owner, he was accommodating with me calling several times and not getting upset with me. Do you know how much I appreciated that. We talked several times about what furniture need to be wrapped, how boxes I approximately had so he could send the right crew to my home. I can never say enough about Ultimate Movers, they were great and I would trust them with my belongings anytime I have to move.
