Very professional and user-centered
In the end, the whole move turned out to be more complicated than we had initially expected. The truck could not use the most convenient highways in NYC, and he did not want to bring a large truck into the City. As a result, I wasn't sure there were going to be able to fit everything. But, like magicians, they did! And saved a lot of time by doing so. Additionally, the apartment we were moving into had a teeny elevator, which made the prospect of getting all the furniture and the 100+ boxes of books and other stuff into the apartment rather daunting. But they had developed a really clever and efficient system of loading furniture and boxes into large containers that DID, miraculously, fit into the elevator. The worked extremely hard, but did manage to complete the move, and with only one minor scratch to a bookcase. I was tremendously impressed.
Since Roman is on the road so much, he does not always respond immediately to emails or messages left; and, at times, we wondered whether he had received them. But, in the end, he and his crew were incredible. They gave 1000% to the job, and made us feel very comfortable with them and with the move. I would recommend him extremely highly.
As mentioned, we used them for both interstate and local moving. In both situations, the moves were handled perfectly. I would strongly recommend Empire!
On the day of the move, the movers arrived exactly on time. They listened attentively and remembered the details. The worked efficiently and carefully.
My leather sofas and leather recliner were moved without a scratch. They even handled cherished paintings without a scratch. The entire move was finished within three hours.
The total bill came within $10 of the original estimate. We would recommend these guys to anyone. We're very pleased.
trying experience. We were coordinating selling and purchasing in a single day,
moving in town from the old home to the new home. The transaction to close our
existing home hit a snag with the buyers finance company and prevented us from
closing on the new home and thus not allowing us to move in. Normally you'd
know this ahead and reschedule the move but this news happened during our move
out and all of our stuff was already loaded on Roman's two trucks with no new
home to move into. This also occurred on a Friday and we were now homeless (and
without belongings) for the weekend till the attorneys could work out the
issues on Monday. Roman stayed professional, given that I've now hijacked his
only trucks and put him out of business till he offloaded my belongings. He did
not force me into an offload and storage situation and held out belongings till
mid-day Monday when we were cleared to move in. For all this extra travel and
storage, he was very reasonable and only charged us slightly more than the original
agreed fee when others may have used the opportunity to take advantage of the
situation. Roman was honest and professional and can truly be trusted. We'd recommend
him highly to anyone considering a move.
Roman took a look at each room and let me know that he thought everything would be able to be done by the end of the day, and he asked if he and his crew could begin. They were great! They worked for 9 hours straight, and I practically had to beg them to take a five-minute break for donuts and coffee in the morning (they didn't even take five minutes, they just grabbed one on the way to the next packing project) and another short break for pizza in the afternoon. I don't think they would have stopped at all if I hadn't insisted they eat something.
They were incredibly professional and polite, and they carefully wrapped all of our dishes and other delicate objects (tech stuff, TV, etc.). Anything that had a minor scrape or scuff on it they were quick to show me in advance of moving it so I was aware that it wasn't due to their work. They unplugged and packed up the entire apartment, loaded it into the truck, moved it to our new house, unloaded everything, and even helped situate some of the furniture for us. They finished by the end of the business day, and while the total came in a bit above Roman's initial estimate (not his fault, I don't think he realized how big the apartment would be or that we wouldn't have done anything to prepare for his packers), he gave me a break on the price in order to bring it closer to his estimate. This was totally unnecessary and unasked for, however it was much appreciated.
Overall, this is a great company. Hard workers, very professional and polite, and they work diligently and carefully. I would use them again in a heartbeat. We've unpacked everything at this point, and as my wife was unpacking our things she told me I needed to go write this review immediately because of how immaculate everything was packed.
Thanks, Roman and crew!!
Not much more to say other than excellent and highly recommended.
