From the time we called Sherman Moving and Storage, the company was highly professional. The estimator, Paul Sherman, was friendly, professional and helpful. We choose Sherman based on our meeting with him despite the price estimate being slightly greater than other options. We felt prepared by Jason for how to be ready for our moving day. On the day of the move, the crew arrived on time and ready to work. They were professional and efficient in their work. They asked us questions that required clarification and were open to answering our questions. They met our deadline for finishing the work and then met our target time for arriving at our new home that same day after taking a lunch break. The move into our new home efficient and comepleted without any problems. At the end of the move, the Sherman crew repeatedly asked if there was anything more they could do before leaving. All in all, Sherman Moving and Storage made our move a positive experience.
Description of Work: Moved all contents of our five-bedroom home to our new home in Indianapolis all in one day.

I have used them three times. Expect some drywall damage (they don't usually tell you, you have to look). They don't usually send out anyone too scary. Reasonable pricing, good enough service.
Description of Work: Moved a portion of my things to storage, stored it for a few months, then moved it back in to my new house.

Overall, the guys were professional and hard workers. Would definitely hire them again. Two snafus during the second part of the move; a) dispatch somehow misentered the information in their systems, so when they first arrived, the fellas were shocked since they thought it was a two bedroom apartment and it was a four bedroom house (with a finished basement) and then had to split the move into multiple days/trips, and b) had some sort of truck trouble that really slowed the trip down and with losing one guy of the crew, the guys were working late into the night. They were completely exhausted, I felt bad for them. They did come through with flying colors but they really needed more help.We did use the storage service to get a bunch of stuff out of the house to get it ready for showing and sale, and that part of the effort went really well. Would especially recommend that service rather than trying to pack your own PODS. Which actually we started doing and then realized how much it would cost to move the Pod across state lines. So the Sherman guys did a great job of moving the contents of the Pod into their truck, no questions asked.
Description of Work: Two steps; step one was helping us get everything out of the house (packing and storage) except the bare minimums for sale, which they put into storage; step two was moving us from Indianapolis, IN to Cincinnati, OH.

They moved our home of 14 years, 10 people, including an in home business. It took 3 trucks, 6-8 guys, three and a 1/2 days. They were great to work with. They moved not only our home but, picked up furniture at 2 other locations and emptied two storage units.
Description of Work: These guys did a great job at a fair price. they were very hard workers, they worked fast, were caring, considerate and professional.

Our experience with Sherman was great. Our initial phone inquiries were always answered quickly and very professionally. They estimated we would need about 4 hours, but in reality we needed closer to 6-7. On the day of the move, three men arrived about 15 minutes after estimated, which was great. They were nice and paid attention to our needs and instruction. One of my only complaints was that they smelled very strongly of smoke as they entered our apartment. This was very unpleasant for my husband and I. They moved everything out of our apartment very quickly, carefully and efficiently. They drove to our storage unit and retrieved everything from it. They then returned to the apartment because they had forgotten some boxes (possibly our fault). After picking those up, they drove across town, stopping for lunch. They then arrived at my parents' house and unloaded a few items carefully and quickly. Their real genius came next as they fit a three bedroom apartment's worth of stuff and furniture into a 10x15 storage unit. The items were stacked to the ceiling to make full use of the space, and everything fit perfectly. Without them, we would surely have had to get a larger unit. Nothing was damaged thus far. They over-estimated travel time and charged us accordingly, but after a phone call from my husband, they promised to deduct some time. I recently noticed that they charged us twice, but I will call tomorrow and am certain they will fix it. Everything about the company has been constantly professional and helpful.
Description of Work: Sherman Moving moved our possessions across town. They picked up all furniture, boxes and belongings from our apartment and a storage unit, dropped off a few items at a house, and packed a storage unit with our items.

They did a great job. They were prompt, efficient, and professional. They were also nice, friendly, and very patient. I was especially pleased with how wonderful they treated my parents throughout the entire process. They packed all the fragile items and the furniture. They were also timely and very reasonably price. I would use them in the future.

Due to a lot of factors, we had a short window of time for moving, and we did not know when we would be able to close on our home until almost the last minute. So we had little notice, a short window of time, and August is prime-time for moving. We were very worried about being able to schedule movers at all. Fortunately, Sherman Moving had an opening for us. They were very prompt and did an excellent job. They easily and expertly handled difficulties, such as our refrigerator being too wide to fit through our back door (with the door opened as wide as possible). For them it was not a problem -- they simply took the door off of its hinges and eased the refrigerator right on through, then re-installed the door. They did great. We were very, very pleased with the entire experience, from the first telephone contact to the point where the entire transaction was complete.
Description of Work: They moved all of our furniture, appliances, and many, many boxed items from our old home to our new one. It included disassembly and reassembly of beds.

We were impressed with the workers and would rate this and excellent experience from beginning to end.
Description of Work: After moving to Indianapolis fromFlorida, the Sherman movers came to help us unload our furniture and piano. They came on time, as scheduled, and were very professional and willing to place all furniture wherever we wanted it to be placed. They even moved two sofas to different locations in the house (we had changed our minds about where we wanted them located). They worked hard and made certain that we were satisfied with what they had done. We would definitely hire them again if we ever needed them to do any more moving for us.

I ended up not using them. I was actually going to use them but the deal for the piano fell through, so I didn't have an opportunity to use them. Their deal was fabulous and I was going to use them. They had the best deal. I didn't spend any money on the estimate. The estimate was over the phone and she was very thorough and tried to make sure she got the right dimensions so that she could have the right number of movers and she explained to me why. She was asking the questions and she made sure that I was very comfortable with the process and her estimate. She was very personable and very accommodating. I was not going to be in town for a few hours on one day and she gave me different options on time to meet my schedule. I think she went above and beyond to accommodate my crazy work schedule around the time I needed the piano delivered and provided options and solutions for me.

They didn’t use any protection for the furniture’s so I saw some minor damages. There were three gentlemen and one of them just came around. They disconnected the water valve and the water was leaking. They didn’t do anything or suggest anything so I had to go to the store to buy a cap to cover the hole but it was not the part of their service. Because they don’t do the protection around the furniture that takes them less time to move the furniture but they are cheaper and their price is less. I would not use them again.
Description of Work: I used Sherman Moving & Storage Company Inc early September this year. They moved furniture’s for us.

Everything went as planned.No glitches or problems at all.
Description of Work: My daughter and I both purchased a used spinet piano from different homeowners. We needed to pick up two pianos from different homes and take them to our individual homes. Sherman did a fine job. Most of the time,,they were driving from one location to another, but we both got our pianos situated in our houses in good shape. They workers were competent, professional and courteous.

I contacted Sherman Moving by phone and received a cost quote based on the number of hours that the crew would be on the job. Time on the job begins with departure from the company headquarters on the southside of Indianapolis to my residence in the Butler/Tarkington area of Indianapolis. Once they arrived on the job. They went right to work after surveying the location of all articles to be moved. The moved went quickly and efficiently and the household goods were loaded on the van and we were off to the new house. The process was repeated with the same speed and efficiency as the packing stage. Overall a great job.

I called twice and explained that I had 6 large items, not an entire household. This was ignored. Three men were assigned for a whole household move when two would have been acceptable. I was told that they would arrive at 9:15am, which they did, but I was not told I was being billed since they left the warehouse at 8am. I was told that there was a minimum time rate that I might have to conform to, which I thought was acceptable too. The actual moving went well and fast.

We moved twice. Move one was into storage; move two was into our new condo. Both moves went seamlessly. They showed up on time. The workers were clean, courteous, and hard working - very professional. They moved a very heavy, large, cabinet downstairs (didn't think it could be done) without a problem - I was impressed. When we moved into the condo, one wall did get dented but was repaired quickly and without hesitation. I have moved several times in the past (many horror stories), but these two moves were relatively seamless.
Description of Work: We moved from our current home into a temporary condo, putting much of our possessions in storage. We completed the move on two separate dates. Sherman movers assessed our possessions during the packing process and provided us with a realistic estimate. They showed up on time and the workers were polite, professional, and hard working. They were extremely careful with our possessions and did an excellent job packing our glass/art work. This professionalism was repeated on our second move. I would DEFINITELY use them again.

These workers were fantastic. After they got things moved in, and even after I asked to move a couple of pieces from one place to another, they asked if there was anything else they could move around before they left. I could not have asked for better service. I will recommend them to anyone I know is moving and would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We re-located our offices from the northwest side of Indy to downtown. Sherman gave us an estimate along with others. We selected Sherman. Set a date and went from there. They showed up on time, worked so efficiently, and got us moved in about 5 hours from start to finish. They had equipment to meet our every need that made it much easier for us since we did all the packing. They moved our computer printers, pictures, etc along with desks, storage shelving units, and even a huge conference table we thought might not fit in the elevator.

We spent $3500 for their services. We have used them before as well. We found them on Angie’s List when we moved a long time ago. We felt they were good and they still have good reviews. They did a good job of packing quickly. They packed about half of the stuff in a day. They were very friendly as well. I don’t think anything got lost and nothing was broken. We have three kids and it was a four-bedroom house; so there was a lot of stuff. I have only positive things to say about them. I would use them again. We recommended them to some friends and they had a really good experience as well.
