I can't say enough good things about this company (Iowa Moving1). So thankful to have found them. Every step of the process was excellent-from the initial reach out inquiry, to scheduling the move, to emailing me the quotes, to the day before the move call to confirm the work to be done, to them wrapping and protecting the furniture, to the crew calling 15 minutes before arriving, and team arriving on TIME and well within time frame quoted. Not to mention, the team of Dalton and KJ were awesome! They were so personable and helpful. (At one point I offered to help carry cushions in and KJ was like "you are welcome to do so however we invite our clients to sit back and relax and we can do all the work for you." So refreshing to have exceptional customer service these days.) This firm can also be hired to move furniture within rooms of a home or say from an upstairs bedroom to the garage for you to list items on social media and create welcome room in your home. (Thankful for them providing the muscles when it's needed.) The pricing is a good value and very straight forward. Again, A+ organization in the Des Moines area for moving or muscle needs!

This was our second time using Iowa Moving 1 and once again they did not disappoint. They showed up in a timely manner and got right to work. The crew was very nice, considerate and efficient with helping my parents move. They helped make what could have been a stressful move to a stress free move. I can’t thank them enough!

Crew was punctual and polite. However, many items were not wrapped in paper and were put into boxes with no cushion whatsoever. Framed prints hanging on the wall were not protected and loaded onto the truck with no protection. A speaker was damaged because it was loaded without a box or protection. Furniture dolly that I was going to use to unload the truck was loaded in front (not the cab) so I couldn't get to it until the truck was almost fully unloaded.
Response from Iowa Moving 1, LLC
"Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry to hear about your situation at the jobsite. We have a strong history as a company that provides good customer service. Additionally the crew we sent to the jobsite is normally considered a very knowledgeable and skilled crew who invest a lot of energy into the protection of their customer's items. While it is unfortunate they did not live up to that reputation on your move day, I would love to discuss the way your movers handled your move, in order to improve our customer service going forward. If you would be willing to call us, we would love to discuss these issues and what steps we have taken to ensure such issues will not occur again."

I've worked with Eric Lloyd's teams a number of times over the years and have always been more than pleased with their professionalism and skill. Both of these were very important with this move because there was a lot of stress and anxiety involved; Eric and his crew were so compassionate and thoughtful in dealing with all aspects of this move. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!

Wonderful, I have never seen such professionalism in a long time. They (the team) answered promptly and were on time when we met. Their attitude was great. If I ever need a moving company, I'll be calling Iowamoving1. This company is set apart from many others. Thanks Eric for your company.

Ryan and Ray were the team that assisted me and they were nothing short of wonderful to work with. They were quick, efficient, and were able to exceed my expectations and make sure my move was as stress free as possible. I would use them again and again and recommend this team!

Our family loves Iowa Moving 1!! They are AMAZING!!!! They have handled over 6 moves for various members of our family and Eric and his team always do a great job. They are on time, efficient, know what they are doing and are careful not to damage the furniture or the walls. This last move we really challenged them with a new 9' buffet that had to get down a flight of stairs that had a handing and a turn!! God bless Patrick and his team as this wasn't an easy task but they didn't give up until they had that 250 lb beautiful piece of furniture downstairs! Did I say it was NINE Feet!!!! You can trust your move to Iowa Moving 1!

I thought it would take much longer. The 2 young men that showed up immediately started carrying items out and positioning them into the Pod in such a way that every free space was filled. They worked fast, were really polite and did an amazing job. We will hire them again when our new home is finished and we're ready to move in.

Absolutely wonderful! They were the first company I used to move and have used them twice since then. I will be using them next time I move and could not recommend them more!!

The process is simple to get everything scheduled. Eric is very helpful and is an obvious expert in the field. Since this company provides moving labor only, you have to provide the truck and driver. It definitely cuts down on costs. They bring moving blankets, dollies, whatever you need for the move. For one of my moves, they were running late, but Eric called me multiple times, so that I was left waiting for their arrival and even offered to send extra help, so the move would go faster. I didn't choose to get extra help, because they're always SO fast! The movers themselves are hard workers and know what they're doing. In both my moves nothing was ever been broken or damaged. I would highly recommend Iowa Moving 1 for any moves you have in the future!

Everything went well. Both gentlemen were hard workers and very nice. Highly recommend Iowa Moving 1. They were very understanding as we had to change our date as house didn't close when we had expected. Worked with us to make it happen when we needed them. Super service, fast response to emails and phone calls.

Although there was a delay due to illness, 3 men came instead of 2. They unloaded and moved our belongings in 2.5 hours. They were extremely courteous and efficient. We were more than pleased with their effort. Anytime we need someone to assist us in moving, we will definitely call Iowa Moving 1.

"We very much appreciate you allowing us to load your rental truck for your move. A lot of our customers have enjoyed the cost savings of hiring us to help them load their rental moving truck and then hiring another moving labor company in a different state to help them unload. This method can save up to 40% on moving costs as compared to traditional full service moving companies."

The 2 gentlemen were right on time and worked so hard to get our daughter's house goods up to the 3rd floor. They were very pleasant and treated all items with care. This is an excellent company and would recommend using them again. I can't say enough good things about them. Reliable and hardworking!!
