Over the phone, they outlined charges and clarified that they use bands and blankets as opposed to bubble wrap and tape, which I was glad to hear because bubble wrap and tape are bad for the environment and tend to hurt the pocketbook, too. Also, our move was only about a mile and most of the furniture was hand-me-down items destined for our unfinished basement.
That said, our vintage player piano is priceless and irreparable, I was nervous about that piece. Built in the 1920s it's an upright that's about close to 5 feet high and weighs about 800 pounds. They brought it up a wide flight of stairs, loaded it into the truck and delivered it safely to my living room, where it passed the ultimate test-- the player mechanism still works.
We previously moved the piano with Burrows, whose crew wrapped and cared for the piano more carefully. However, Happ moved the piano along with several items, like a futon frame and several 6-foot tall bookshelves, for less than it cost me to move only the piano with Burrows about two years earlier.
The Happ crew took care to protect our newly refinished wood floors as they brought items into the house. My bill was less than expected because the crew worked efficiently and, happily, there were no hidden or extra charges
They were curteous to residents and did not hold up the only elevator during the move so people could go to work.
The 3 pieces were quickly and carefully moved into the hallway for staging. The sofa bed went down first, along with my Mom who led them to the spot where it was to be placed for pickup. This went smoothly.
The 2 pieces going to my house were loaded into the elevator and onto the truck quickly and efficiently.
I left to get to my house and they were right behind me. The chest and dresser were placed exactly where I wanted them and they asked if there was anything else I needed moved.
The whole job took 1 1/2 hours and went off without a hitch.
They were friendly, helpful and I would indeed use this service again.
