We contacted about 5 other companies before being referred to Bester Bros. because nobody else wanted the job. About 6 guys moved them down a flight of stairs (no elevator in the old building) and quickly placed it in our new office. Courteous, prompt and efficient.

All moves went great. No damaged items and nice, professional crews. We packed some items, they packed others. We changed move-in dates on them so many times as our closing was delayed multiple times yet they still cheerfully responded to our next request. This is our second move with BB and would use them again if we move again. Estimates were very close to final bill.

We've used Bester for four different moves. Form our referral chain, I know of at least 6 others. They are very professional, very careful, punctual, and fairly priced. The guys work FAST. I get tired watching them. They take much of the stress out of moving. I highly recommend.

I contacted Bester Brothers about moving some very heavy and fragile glass showcases. I made an appointment with Joe from Bester Brothers to come out and quote the project. Joe showed up at the exact time we set the appointment, took in the scope of the project and said he would email a quote to me later. Side note: Since these items I wanted moved were heavy, fragile and expensive, I would not feel comfortable with anything less than an established, professional moving company. I received the quote promptly from Joe, the quote was very fair and I asked Joe to schedule the project with his company. The morning of the planned move, the Bester Brothers crew showed up (again super punctual) with four skilled and personable workers. All four were careful, conscientious and efficient. The move went without a hitch... I could not be happier. From start to finish... Bester Brothers was superb!

"The 3 man crew worked together as a team moving our furniture from our sold home to an apartment. Some of the furniture went into the apartment and the rest went into their climate controlled storage. At this point we are very happy with the work they did."

We have moved many times during our marriage, and this was the most professional period. We had no problems. We see no damage. The estimate was the lowest we received and our actual bill was 10% less than the estimate. Bester only uses their own employees, and it appears to make a BIG difference.

The scheduling and organization was excellent. Customer service and professionalism is excellent. All workers are kind, careful and efficient. All items were easily located and there was no damage. Pricing is very reasonable and billing office is very organized. Highly, highly recommend above any other moving and storage service I have ever used.

They were very good. We were really pleased with their work. They did everything we were expected of them. They were fair priced and did a good job. They helped us greatly. They stored some of our furniture and everything was done well. We were happy with them all the way through. They were courteous, prompt on time, responsible and careful in moving.

This was an A++ experience in every facet.  I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of service. On time, cheerful, productive, efficient, and BONUS-- they came in way under estimate. We've never indulged in having our things packed, but it was absolutely worth it. Not one item damaged or broken, not one scratch on a floor or wall. Please tip these guys well-- they deserve it. I recommend Bester with complete confidence.

We had a heavy refrigerator stuck on the landing in a split foyer. I called Bester Bros, and within hours they had a team of pleasant, brawny guys out there to carry it up.
Nice work, good price for three guys and a truck.

I found them on Angie's List. They were quick to reply, they were clear and concise in their estimate, they were extremely efficient. I took their bid mainly because of recommendations on Angie's List. They loaded, and the people were so efficient. They loaded in the rain, and as soon as they closed the truck it stopped raining. There were a few things I wanted protected, but they just kept moving in and out. They packed it beautifully and delivered it the next day. I had a friend who was here waiting for them. They are super people. Their estimate was right on target.
