i found this company on angies list. i talked with the owner and reserved a day. the owner was told the approximate number of boxes and rooms of furniture to be moved. i asked when he was coming to see the furniture and he said that would not be necessary.
he told me how much it would cost per hour with a crew of four. he asked me to email my name, address and phone number.
i continued to pack and realized there was a lot more furniture and boxes then i had told him. i emailed the owner and called him to let him know about this increase. i also decided to have them pack the clothing, as he told me earlier that they supplied clothing boxes instead of giving angie members a discount. the owner said no problem...he would just add an extra man. he requested i
put the clothing in black bags or sacks as it would be easier to place them on the truck.
the men arrived on time. the owner was upset because all the boxes i packed did not have tap on them. he wanted me to sign a disclaimer if anything broke on the truck. i agreed. a little later he said he did not want to do the move unless i taped the boxes.
i went to office depot to buy tape. my family and friends that were there to help began taping boxes. most of the boxes, bags, and furniture had been labeled with the room placement for the items...and the move began.
because taping boxes, i was unable to continue cleaning the house before the new owners walk through. i left around noon to settle on my house and the new house.
after the settlements i went back to the house and began cleaning. the men continued to pack up. because there was so much
furniture and boxes another truck was needed. we were able to rent a second truck and continue moving.
it is important to note that the day we moved was one of the hottest, humid days of this summer.
the men finished filling up the second truck and started for the new home. They started at 10:00 am. They were on their way around 6:00 pm. I stayed at the sold home and continued to clean. the severe thunderstorms began shortly after they left.
i was told by friends and family they were finished at 11;30 PM. The owner of the moving company refused to leave the new home until he was paid. my family assured the owner that he could come the next day and i would pay him. he would not leave and said i would be charged for the whole time they waited. he finally left and returned the next day. At that time he was paid the amount we agreed to initially.
i refer to this move as the move from h***. part of the problem was my inexperience. i had no idea the boxes needed to be taped. i thought that because i had made most of them really light, that they would not need special treatment. but in all honesty, i am a novice at this, not a professional. all of these problems could have been avoided if the owner had come ahead of time to check out what was being moved. if that had happened the owner would have told me to tape up the boxes and also come with the correct sized truck.
when i arrived at the new home the next morning, i checked out the work ahead. because most of the moving men did not read or speak English many boxes and some of the furniture was placed in the wrong room. one tv was broken. one antique oyster plate was broken.
i know that one of the most stressful events you can participate in life is moving. i tried to make this less stressful by choosing accompany that was highly rated on angie's list. i have had nothing but success with angie so far, and i am still using her list.
anyone can have a bad day, but it is always a good idea for the professionals to perform their expertize by demonstrating good planning.
When we got to storage unit it didn't look like everything would fit at firs, but Mr. Cohen and his crew of two stacked boxes to the ceiling and "tetrised" the sectional sofa together so that everything fit.
When they were done we asked if they could bring the remaining items to the house where we would be staying and they were more than happy to accommodate us (the cost listed above is the total for both moves).
We had a last-minute move to do, and with only a week to go before we had to be out of our apartment most movers were already booked or had limited hours. LC Movers hours and willingness to work with us made this an outstanding experience and I would happily recommend them anyone
Larry and his team were flexible, efficient and friendly. They took the time to wrap our more delicate items and quickly loaded and unloaded our belongings. They also remained flexible as we had a last minute change in locations. Thank you for all of your help!
He maintained contact prior to my move date and he accommodated my need for a two step move. I had to move out the day before I could move in to my new house. He moved everything into the new garage and came back the next day to move things into the townhouse.
Larry was very careful with everything and especially so with fragile, or high-end items. He constantly watched and directed his crew. As an added bonus, he was a pleasure to talk with. I can't say enough good things about Larry, his crew and the whole process. While I hope I don't have to move again for a long, long time, I would definitely use LC Movers again.
LC Movers would be excellent for a single, valuable piece of furniture or artwork, but not an entire house.
In some of the reviews, there are complaints about Larry's lack of communication from people who ended up not hiring him. But you'll also note that the people who did hire him have nothing but praise for him. If you have trouble getting in touch with Larry, don't give up ... Larry is a bit unconventional, but that's part of his charm. Keep calling till you get hold of him, trust me, he's worth the extra effort.
