Everything was terrific. I called 4 moving companies and Thompson's was the only company that sent a guy out to inspect the items we wanted moved before they quoted me a price. So, they took pride in giving a quality estimate, which was comforting. They then quoted me 3 prices, at my request. 1 for them to box the small stuff and then move everything; 2 for them to move the stuff I boxed and the big stuff; and 3 for them to move only the big stuff.
We hired them to move just the big stuff. 4 guys showed up 10 minutes early and went right to work. They worked non-stop until the work was done. As far as we can tell nothing major was broken.
The ultimate price came in well below the quote.
I thought the whole experience was terrific and very much worth my money.

Hired another local l mover to,do the first stage of our moving several,months ago.
The experience was a nightmare including the moving men telling me it was customary toTIP each,of the 3 movers $100.. For a $400.00 move.!
I hired Thompson for the next move and everything went as smooth as it possibly could..
I liked the free estimate (that actually was a little higher) than it turned out to cost!how often does that happen?
Vince and Matt who actually did the move were very experienced,getting a few things in places I wasn't sure they would fit..
We're careful with our property and nothing was damaged in any way..
Planning the 3rd stage of our move and it definitely will be with Thompsons..

I would highly recommend Thompson Movers. I can't believe how painless they made my move. The Thompson Movers made up of Kevin, Adam #1, Adam #2 and Mike were great! They were on time, their final bill was very very close to their estimate and not a thing was damaged. Their quote was also the lowest quote I received. I can't believe my move was so hassle free. I would highly recommend to any one who needs a mover.

My white carpets got dirty during the move. They did rectify (to my satisfaction) the situation and paid for the cleaning of the carpet. I would recommend them. I am very pleased with the movers.
Response from Thompson moving and storage Inc
"In all fairness to Thompson we have already scheduled a carpet cleaner to clean both rooms. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Thompson Moving and Storage sent two experienced, able-bodied men to help move some heavy furniture into a newly redecorated room. They were careful and they were fast. It took them not quite 30 minutes, but an hour is the minimum charge. While I wish I could have paid only for the 1/2 hour I needed, they were clear about the rules up front, so I really can't complain.
They showed up on time, and they behaved professionally. When they realized how quickly the job was done, they asked if there was anything else they could move for me :)
They were even more wonderful the second time I used them. Again I hired them for an interior move (we were doing a lot of rehabbing and carpet cleaning). They showed up on time, but I wasn't there because I had to pick up my sister whose car had to be towed after she was involved in a traffic accident. Before they took her car away, she and I pulled out a long, low table she had been hauling to my house. Unfortunately, the table wouldn't fit in my car. There we were, on the side of the road, wondering who to call, when Thompson's movers phoned my cell to say they'd arrived at the house. I explained my predicament. They said, "Well, we have a truck." They were kind enough to come with their truck to the accident scene, pick up the table and deliver it back to the house, where they then completed the interior move, including assembly of a dining room set.
YES, I would use them again!
