"Carlos, Rafael and Eric were very conscientious, and made sure our items - icnluding a VERY heavy upright piano - were delivered as carefully and expeditiously as possible. Recommend them highly."
"The piano was tuned well. However, one of the keys was still sticking when he left. He was on the bus and got lost, so I went and picked him up to bring him to my home."
"Brothers Moving did a great in helping me move. They helped setup the bed and dresser as well. It was a really hot day and they were good sports. I would recommend them."
"Enrique, Abner, Maruin, and Nick were so fast and helpful! They moved us quickly even though it was so hot and humid outside and they had to lug our sectional couch up and down stairs. Thanks again!"
"Overall the move was a success. The team was really careful with our stuff and moved everything successfully. Paul was very responsive with any questions I had."
"Del's moved me out of my 3 bedroom house, kept my stuff overnight (free of charge since it was only one night), and delivered the items the next day after I closed on my new house. The movers were very friendly and efficient. They quoted me over the phone at $1,400, but it came in at $1,800. That said, I expected it to be more than the quote because 1) I had a lot of stuff in the based (more than your traditional 3-bedroom house), and 2) the new house was 3 stories so there were a lot of stairs to climb. I would definitely use them agin."
"We are very pleased with Best Cost Movers for their excellent service and low price. We were moving from a 2 BR condo in Geneva to a house in Hinsdale. We found Best Cost Movers from Angie's list and called Eric for appointment. He set up the moving time and also confirmed it by email. On moving day, Santos and Dan were very careful in packing and moving our furniture. They managed to avoid any scratches or dents to the condo and the house. They were very efficient in both moving and driving. We appreciate their effort in making our move a very pleasant experience."
"We had some travel time and needed some time to get our new location set up before they delivered our belongings. They were good on unpacking and delivery. We only had one issue. The trailor they used was a frieght box that wasn't clean. There was a fine black dust that covered all of our belongings. Nothing was damaged by this dust, so no harm done. We were able to track the truck from start to finish and only had one piece of furniture that was damaged. Overall, we are pleased with the experience! The movers did a great job helping us out! We had 16,000 lbs of belongings they moved!"
