Excellent. I've used them before and even though their prices have since increased they gave me the rate I had last time. That said, they have a two hour minimum and mine was a 20 minute project. Both on the phone and moving, however, they were courteous and very professional. Highly reccomend.

They were very helpful, careful and respectful. They knew where to go at the assisted living facility. They were even willing to come back another time and help rearrange some heavy pieces of furniture. They were very good to do business with.

Everything went extremely well. They showed up early, were very professional and fast. I have used them previously and was happy with their service. I will use them again when we move out of the apartment.

The owner himself came out to give me a price, which is what I paid in the end. It wasn't cheap, but it was a fair price and they stuck to it. Everyone in the office from the first time I made phone contact was helpful and friendly. The move itself--on a very hot day--went without a hitch from the time they arrived (early) at 5:30 a.m. to the time the last piece was expertly stored in the storage facility. The crew of three guys and one foreman moved with dispatch and efficiency to wrap everything, and even though the day was sweltering, cheerfully carried my 60 boxes of books and everything else down three flights. They packed the (brand-new) truck securely; they were finished in 3.5 hours and took off immediately for the destination 3 hours away. They arrived without incident and unpacked and stored my things carefully and quickly. They were done before 5 p.m.

These pieces of furniture were being moved to "stage" a house for sale. I told them it would only take about 15 minutes, and it did. They book a minimum of 2 hours for a set fee. They moved each piece and didn't scrape walls or scratch hardwood floors. I asked them to be careful with the heavy stove in the kitchen, as the floor was Pergo and would chip if something heavy dropped on it. They were curious and wanted to know all about Pergo, so I obliged. When they were done, they knew they had an hour and 45 minutes left and asked me if I was sure there wasn't anything else they could move! Really nice guys, courteous, capable, and seeming to want to become even more knowledgeable.

Not well. They were not very careful with our items. They scratched just about every frame for each piece of art we owned. They broke the arms of my grandmother's rockers and I had to yell at one of them for kicking a box of lamp shades up the stairs. They even went as far as to complain about the amount of stuff we had and I had to remind them they were being paid by the hour.

Our starting time was delayed by two hours, which was better than the original estimate of three to four hours. When the movers finally arrived, they had sent only three movers, when we were quoted (and paid for) four to move a steel-framed upright piano from a third-floor apartment. The crew leader was very nice and upbeat, but some of the other crew members were (understandably, I guess) in foul moods by the time they arrived at our house. One openly asked who was responsible for tipping them, which I found highly unprofessional. However, the young lady at the office was nice, despite the delay, and the piano was moved successfully with no damage.

Slow as molasses. Though they didn't break anything, they were very slow. They were slow moving everything onto the truck, taking a little over two hours to do so even though everything was already packed in boxes and ready to go. Once we got to the self-storage place, they had one guy unloading the truck while the other TWO people were organizing the storage room. You don't need two people doing that. I ended up moving everything myself from the truck to the storage unit on the third floor. Even with me doing the bulk of the moving at the destination site, it still took about two hours to complete the move once we were there. The storage room is quite large and comfortably fit everything. The move ended at 2:45 but the team leader insisted on putting 3:00 as the end time. Oh, and they charged me for the time needed to fill out paperwork when they arrived. I would NOT recommend them to anyone.

Overall, quite good. Movers were hard working, skilled, and caused minimal damage. They were timely (actually, early) and professional. Quote price was within about 10% of actual price. However, they had to add a truck and 3 movers, for which I did not pay, a very impressive service. Downside was the lack of preparation, they didn't even bring an Allen, or socket wrench for the move out, so the entire move was delayed while I went to a friend to borrow an Allen, and they had a driver bring the socket. Then, on the move in, they again didn't bring either wrench, even though it was mostly the same guys. Price was on the high side, but the service was good.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAD A MIXED EXPERIENCE. THE CREW LEADER AND ALL BUT ONE OF THE CREW MEMBERS WERE TERRIFIC. THEY WORKED EXTREMELY HARD DURING A VERY UNPLEASANT BLIZZARD, AND WERE PROFESSIONAL, RESPECTFUL AND HONEST. THEY COMPLETED THIS DIFFICULT MOVE WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE - A MIRACLE CONSIDERING THE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. THE OFFENDING CREW MEMBER RUINED THE GOOD WORK OF THE OTHERS WITH THE FOLLOWING OFFENSES: HE TRIED TO CHEAT US BY INSISTING THAT A THIRD TRUCK WAS USED WHEN WE KNEW THAT ONLY TWO TRUCKS WERE USED FOR THE MOVE; HE BULLIED ME INTO PROVIDING FOOD AND BEVERAGES FOR THE ENTIRE CREW (WE FOUND OUT LATER THAT THIS IS AGAINST COMPANY POLICY); HE DID NOT DO EVEN HALF THE WORK THAT HIS FELLOW CREW MEMBERS DID, AND HE IGNORED DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING DELICATE POSSESSIONS. TO THE CREDIT OF THE REST OF THE CREW, THEY WARNED US ABOUT HIM WHEN THEY SAW WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO, AND THE CREW LEADER WAS HONEST ABOUT THE TRUCK. MY COMPLAINTS TO THE COMPANY YIELDED NO RESULTS.
