We built a house that was completed before we sold the existing house we were living in. We first had all the items in our basement moved to the new house and continued living in the old house. The first move went well, but I felt like the movers took their time due to charging by the hour. The second part of the move we had enough furniture moved so that we could live in the new house, but still have the old house stage for selling. I asked for a different crew to be sent this time. Two of the crew were different, but one of the original crew came for this move. Again, they were careful, but they moved very slowly and seemed to take multiple breaks. I decided to give them another try for the third and final move of our furniture. My wife complained to them that they weren't working very quickly. They tore some veneer off of a dresser when they scooted across a carpeted floor. My wife pointed this out to them and at first they denied that they had done the damage. My wife found the veneer in the carpet. so they couldn't argue about it. She asked what they would do about it. The main man said he needed to call his boss. After fifteen minutes (which we were still paying for at $2/minute) he said they would take $30 off the bill. My wife said that wasn't good enough, so they took $50 off. All the time we were still paying them $120/hour, so she told them just to get finished and leave. All in all, they were careful. I feel like they took their time since they were being paid by the hour. I would not hire them to move me again. All told we paid them about $2500 for the three moves.
Description of Work: They moved our household items from a two story house with a basement to a ranch house with a basement.

Move was excellent! Very professional, on time, handled our furniture and household goods with utmost care. Movers were willing to work above and beyond. They were polite and clean, and always acted in a professional manner. Treated our items as if they were their own. Would highly recommend Sherman Mvg. especailly team of Everitt, Damon, Mike, and Wayne.

Movers were not respectful of the house and refused to wear shoe protectors to prevent getting the carpets dirty. The antique corner cabinet was damaged (one of the leaded glass windows has scratch marks from the clamp on the strap as well as slight damage to the cabinet edge) that did not notice until was cleaning it later and had not reported it when filled out assessment of movers. The movers were not very careful with the straps and clamps and there were scuff marks on some other pieces of furniture that was minor and not a big deal (unlike the corner cabinet). Seemed like one of the movers (used 3) was immature and did not do as good a job taking care of the furniture as the older movers.
Description of Work: Moved furniture that included antique corner cabinet (more than 100 year old), two beds, matresses & box springs, chairs, dining room table, desk, end tables, couch, lamps and some boxes with books and miscellaneous household goods.

We had a lot of items and if you were to use them and if you know you are going to have a lot of stuff I suggest telling them up front that you may need more than 1 truck. Also if you want to tip them, make sure to have cash on hand.

My husband and I have moved a lot in our lives, this was our son's house and I've never dealt with movers like this before. I would not hire them again.
Description of Work: We used this company based on Angie's List recommendations. They came out yesterday and I think they sent out 3 people that wanted to talk, didn't want to move, it was $120 an hour and I don't think they'd ever moved! They moved furniture at a very slow pace. They got paint on the couch, I said 'you are going to take care of this' . They were nice people but they just wanted to stand around. At $120 dollars an hour, that wasn't gonna do it! The price I paid even included a $25 dollar off Angie's List discount.

They did it very well. They made sure everything was securely packaged for us and they also stored it for us for about two or three months. They delivered it and unpacked it for us too. I thought they were very careful and with any moving company you have to expect a little bit of damage. The damage was less than what I expected and I was happy with them.

They did a job on short notice. They gave us a quote, and showed up on time. They even made two stops for us to unload some of the items. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. Nothing was broken.

They gave us an estimate and gave a walk-through at our home. They were courteous enough to give us 2 days to think about it. We then called them back and scheduled an appointment. They were prompt and on time. I had some of the boxes and some of the smaller items and dishes ready to go. They did move the larger pieces of furniture, and we were moved in 1 day. They offered to do packing for us. However, we didn?t need them to do any packing because we had most of it done.

When the job turned out to require more movers than they had estimated they called in another crew and truck to get us finished on the timeline we required. Some of the crew members had moved us previously so they were familiar with the furniture! Crew was exceptionally easy to work with, friendly, hard-working and adaptible. We have used Sherman Moving 4 times with a good experience each time.
Description of Work: Moved all furniture, including a piano and antiques, boxes we packed and household items including appliances, garage, storage, and miscellaneous.

Due to some problems with house closings, I had to reschedule my move twice. The first change was with less than 24 hours notice; I was not charged a fee for cancelling (which surprised some people who have heard this story). The crew arrived on time, worked hard, and were careful with both my belongings and my houses. I still have some things to unpack, but so far I've only found one item that sustained some damage in the move, and that was a file cabinet that was not put together that well in the first place.
Description of Work: I hired Sherman's for a local move, with a stop at a storage facility. The price listed above includes a $60 tip.

I have used this moving company before and they do a great job. They are not the cheapest, but their quality and dependability are top notch. The office staff and the movers themselves are all professional. Everytime I have used them nothing has been broken or damaged. They even put down drop cloths in the new house to ensure the rugs would not get dirty. Furthermore, once the truck was unloaded, Wayne and Ronnie offered to arrainge our furniture.
Description of Work: Moved from a two bedroom apartment in Indianapolis to a three bedroom home in OH (approx. 250 miles). We had a lot of books (very heavy) and a motorcycle included in the move.

They were professional and friendly to my son who was running around. They were able to move the really heavy stuff without a problem.
Description of Work: This company moved our heavy furniture from one part of Carmel to the next. I underestimated the size of the truck we would need so they had to come back out the next day (which was my fault, not theirs).
