We had bad experiences with a competitor for the first portion of our move (reported separately). Sherman Moving Company gave us premier service. We were very happy with the work and professionalism displayed continuously throughout the job. We would recommend Sherman highly. Incidentally, we found Sherman through Angie's List. Thank you for this service Angie.
Description of Work: Sherman Moving Company moved our furniture from Evansville, In to Zionsville, Indiana including taking some furniture to storage (at their own facility) and to our new home.

Very good. This was the third time my family has used Sherman. They are friendly and they handle furniture and pieces with care. Highly recommend them. Their hourly rate is a little more than a few other places we called, but they don't charge a trip fee, as many companies do. Therefore, even with the slightly higher hourly rate, the move was less expensive than if we had gone with one of the many other places we checked into.
Description of Work: Moved a player piano from a home in Indy to a home in Greenwood.

Over-the-phone quote was much lower than the real cost. However, everyone was extremely nice. They were on time, and stayed until we needed them.

On time, careful with my belongings, professional, clean, courteous, helpful. Reasonable rates, we used the Angie's List coupon.
Description of Work: We moved from Carmel to Westfield In. We had a large amount of household goods to move. Matt and his crew arrived as scheduled, he quickly saw we needed another crew and truck. These arrived and the move proceeded very smoothly. They handled all my belongings very carefully, put down runners in the old and brand new house. They were very careful not to track salt or snow into the houses. On arrival at the new house, they put everything in the proper room, a lot had to go in the basement. They even got a very large leather sofa into the basement. All the men were courteous, hard working, willing to do what I asked of them, and very professional. I would use them again, but I hope we don't have to move again.

ALL BOXES WERE UNIFORM AND PACKED IN ADVANCE BY HOMEOWNER. ONE APPLIANCE ITEM MOVED. ALL BEDS, ETC., EXCEPT 1, WERE ALREADY TORN DOWN AND READY FOR MOVING. MOVED 3 BEDROOMS, OFFICE, DINING, GREAT ROOM, KITCHEN, SUNROOM, GARAGE AND BASEMENT BOXES. 1 BED SET UP AT NEW HOME. THEY RECOMMENDED 2 TRUCKS AND 6 EMPLOYEES. AFTER ARRIVAL, THE FOREMAN RECOMMENDED AN ADDITIONAL TRUCK AND 3 MORE MOVERS. THEY WERE CAREFUL. 3 EMPLOYEES WERE EXCELLENT, 3 WERE AVERAGE BUT SLOW, 2 WERE VERY LAZY, AND 1 WAS ABSOLUTELY NONEXISTENT. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WAS IN CHARGE. THE RECOMMENDED 3RD TRUCK ENDED UP HOLDING A RIDING LAWN TRACTOR AND MINIFRIDGE WE GAVE TO THE MOVERS, 1/5 WAS OUR GARAGE ITEMS AND BALANCE WAS EMPTY. 1ST 2 TRUCKS COULD HAVE HELD ALL. MOVERS USED BLANKETS AND WERE CAREFUL WITH FURNITURE. FOREMAN DISAPPEARED AFTER MOVING 1 ITEM IN NEW HOME AND REAPPEARED ONLY TO PRESENT INVOICE. WE WERE HIGHLY OVER-CHARGED, IN OUR OPINION, FOR THE VOLUME OF FURNITURE INVOLVED. HOURLY RATE NOT AN ISSUE.

THE MEN WERE PROFESSIONAL AND THE TRUCK WAS CLEAN/IN TIP-TOP SHAPE. SHERMAN WOULD BE PRESENTABLE FOR A MOVE TO THE NICEST OF NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY WERE FLEXIBLE, DOING ANYTHING WE ASKED BUT LETTING US DO EVERYTHING WE WANTED. THEY PACKED THEIR TRUCK VERY TIGHTLY, MAXIMIZING THE AMOUNT THEY HAULED. THEY DAMAGED NOTHING. THEY WORKED EFFICIENTLY. WE HAD NEVER HIRED MOVERS BEFORE, TENDING INSTEAD TO DO IT OURSELVES W/FRIENDS & FAMILY. WE FOUND SHERMAN THROUGH ANGIE'S LIST. THE EXPERIENCE W/SHERMAN WAS SO MUCH EASIER THAN MOVING OURSELVES, WE'LL PROBABLY NEVER MOVE OURSELVES AGAIN. THEY WERE NOT THE LOWEST PRICE - BUT REMEMBER - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. WHEN WE MOVE FROM OUR TEMPORARY RESIDENCE TO THE ONE THAT WE'RE BUILDING, WE'RE CALLING SHERMAN AGAIN. IF YOU DON'T WANT A STRAINED BACK, STUBBED TOES, AND SORE MUSCLES - CALL SHERMAN! THEIR GUYS MADE MOVING LOOK EASY.
Description of Work: MOVED US FROM OUR CURRENT HOME TO A TEMPORARY ONE. DISASSEMBLED FURNITURE, LOADED FURNITURE AND LOADED BOXES (THAT HAD BEEN PACKED PRIOR BY US/OWNERS) INTO THEIR TRUCK, UNLOADED THE FURNITURE AND BOXES AND REASSEMBLED THE FURNITURE. WE MOVED CERTAIN ITEMS OURSELVES, INDEPENDENTLY OF SHERMAN. THEY LOADED AT MY DIRECTION AND UNLOADED AT THE DESTINATION AT MY WIFE'S DIRECTION. WE PAID BY THE HOUR FOR 3 MEN AND THE TRUCK. SHERMAN HAD ALL THE MOVING BLANKETS, DOLLY/HAND CARTS, ETC. THAT WERE NEEDED. THEY HAD BOXES AND TAPE WHICH WE DIDN'T NEED AND MAY HAVE BEEN AVAIL FOR AN ADD'L CHARGE.

THE 3-PERSON CREW ARRIVED ON TIME AND WORKED EFFICIENTLY. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE WAS MOVING A LARGE TREADMILL FROM THE 2ND FLOOR, IT PROVED EASY FOR PROFESSIONALS. THEY CHARGE BY THE HOUR, WITH A 2-HOUR MINIMUM (TRAVEL TIME FROM THEIR OFFICE AND BACK IS INCLUDED IN THEIR TIME.)

FROM THE INITIAL PHONE CONTACT THROUGH THE FINAL UNLOADING FROM THE TRUCK, EVERY EMPLOYEE WAS PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, HARD WORKING AND FRIENDLY. THE PRICING COMPONENTS FOR PACKING, STORAGE AND MOVING WERE THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED, SO WE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE BEGINNING. I COULDN'T HAVE WISHED FOR BETTER CARE OF OUR BELONGINGS, INCLUDING FRAGILE ANTIQUE FURNITURE AND CHINA. THE CREW THAT PACKED AND MOVED OUR HOUSEHOLD FROM OUR PRIOR RESIDENCE VOLUNTEERED TO DO EXTRA WORK WHILE WAITING FOR THEIR LEAD PERSON TO COMPLETE THE PRICING CALCULATIONS. WE FELT THE PACKERS AND MOVERS CARED ABOUT OUR STUFF AS IF IT WERE THEIR OWN. THEY TOOK PRIDE IN DOING A GOOD JOB.

THE MOVERS WERE PUNCTUAL AND COURTEOUS. HOWEVER, THEY TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO DISASSEMBLE A BED FRAME (OVER 30 MINUTES) AND THEY DAMAGED SEVERAL PIECES OF FURNITURE. OVERALL, WE WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE TEAM OF MOVERS. ED SHERMAN DID SEND A FURNITURE REPAIRMAN TO CORRECT THE DAMAGE (WE'RE STILL WAITING ON A DESK WHICH HAD TO BE REBUILT). I HAVE USED ED SHERMAN BEFORE AND HAVE RECOMMENDED HIM TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. I WAS SURPRISED BY THIS EXPERIENCE. WE ARE MOVING AGAIN NEXT MONTH AND WILL CONSIDER OTHER MOVERS.
