I had the Company pack and move me. The moving aspect was ok. A couple of small things broken but I expect that in a while house move. My problem was the packing. Especially the kitchen area. Nothing was packed together. A box m8ght have had a saucepan, some fiid, part of an appliance so on.

Junior, both Anthony's and Ty were amazing in how diligent they were to insure we had exceptional service! These guys were extremely meticulous on how they packed and handled our items. Moving into a new construction home we were hoping to get movers who would not damage walls etc. These guys set my fears to ease immediately. They took great care in setting walking mats down on my floors. They never hit any walls. My husband and I were truly impressed with their work ethic! We would and gave highly recommended them to others. We enjoyed visiting with them also. If you use these guys you won't be disappointed!!

The move took twice as long as expected, and resulted in being twice as expensive. I scheduled two trucks and 4 movers, but only 3 movers and one truck showed up. Then a few hours in, one mover just up and quit. He sat in my home for 20 mins waiting for his ride, saying he quit because he was sick of his boss never giving them enough people because he took on too many jobs. More movers and a second truck finally showed up around 5 hours after they were supposed to be there after telling the owner I absolutely needed it, and had to convince him to get it out there. When they got to the new address, they didn't work as a team, they would simply carry one box at a time up and down stairs. Everything was labeled and color coated, but a lot of items ended up in the wrong rooms. The movers were nice and good natured (the ones that didn't quit), but kept cussing with every word under the sun in front of my small children. I could care less if they use that language in front of me, but not my 5 year old. When it came time for the bill, there was no apology, no explanation for what happened, just payment. Even through all the trouble, all the owner did was not charge me for 4 movers and 2 trucks the entire time, just the time we had them(other than trying to charge me for a truck and movers I didn't have this was literally the least he could've done). I had to argue with him, and eventually just caved to a price I still think was too high. I went with this company because the reviews weren't terrible, and they were much cheaper. I came to find out, they are cheap for a reason. I feel bad for the employees and the situation they were put in and also the berating and screaming I could hear the owner give them over the phone. The owner, Mike, needs to take some personal responsibility and learn how to treat people like human beings.

Both moves went well. The work crew arrived promptly. Furnishing were arranged, to permit safe passage from one room to another. Together both moves took less than 2 and a half hours.

Professional and careful. We were initially a little worried that they only do phone estimates, but the estimate was extremely accurate. Their prices are also significantly less than other movers we contacted. On the day of the move we had 5 guys and 2 trucks for our local residential move. Anchor arrived on time and went straight to work. The guys did a great job moving boxes and furniture out quickly. Once we arrived at the new home, all our items went back in without mishap. No damages to any boxes, furniture or walls. They moved furniture around if I wanted it set in a different place and disassembled and reassembled larger pieces. Overall, our move took just over 9 hours and we were very happy and grateful for their services.

We hired Anchor (twice) to help move my Dad to Sr. Living. Both times we had to cancel because of Dad’s failing health. Anchor was understanding and accommodating. They even called back a truck already on the way and only charged a nominal fee. We were expecting to pay the entire fee but he said he understood our situation and only charged us for his workers time. We ended up not having to use Anchor but if moves are in our future, we will not hesitate to use this thoughtful and caring company.

The movers did an amazing job. I had one very heavy (400+ lb) object that they very carefully maneuvered into the house without any damage. They also were able to carefully squeeze a queen size bed frame through a very narrow staircase. I couldn’t be happier with the work they did and would gladly hire them again for a future move.

Everything went great! The scheduling process was quick and painless. The truck assigned to my job was big enough that we only had to make 1 trip. I was assigned 2 movers (guys). Both movers were prompt and professional. The fees I was quoted (and paid) were less than everywhere else I called. I highly recommend this company!

The morning of move, nobody had called or shown up by 9am. I called the office and received a call back, they arrived about 9:25 with one man short, which only left 4 to do the work. I had conveyed to Mike (who gave me the quote) that we had an assembled treadmill in the basement. He said it wouldn't be a problem. He also told me that bedroom furniture that only had clothing didn't have to be emptied; they would just shrink wrap it closed and move it. The movers said they knew nothing about shrink wrap and they had to be emptied. The movers also fought me several times about the treadmill because it was a difficult item, even though we had disassembled it as much as it could. The movers were pleasant, but as they day went on, the professionalism went right into the toilet. They were bickering and fighting with each other all day long. Finally after 12 solid hours, I sent them home even though they only got 1/2 of the basement done. I didn't blame the workers for some of their frustration; they said they are never given any information about what to expect when they arrive at a home. That combined with being one man short made for a frustrating day for everyone. I was given an hourly discount because I was promised 5 movers, but it didn't make up for the fact that I had to spend another 1/2 day moving items that should have been moved by the moving company. Compared to other quotes I received, the price was much better, but in hindsight, the other companies spent a good 20 minutes with me so they knew exactly what the contents of every room had so they knew what to expect. Also, there were quite a few furniture pieces that were scratched and dented because they weren't wrapped appropriately. Yes, Anchor did pay for a repair person to come out, but I had to take 1/2 day of work to deal with that. We also had many more items that were damaged, but not shown to us by any of the movers. Cheaper is not always the better option.
Description of Work: They were hired to move a 3700sq ft home + a good amount of items in the basement. We still planned on moving the garage and outdoor items on our own.

I guess things were OK. Another company probably would have been the same, except most movers didn't want to bother with my small stuff. The owner discounted me $20 when I complained about the price which seemed a little high. The two movers were very nice, but they had difficulty figuring out how to move the treadmill base. They dropped the top part on my hardwood floor. They then decided they needed moving blankets. Too late. It's only 12 steps down to my basement, so they didn't have far to go. The bed rails just needed to be picked up and the head and foot boards brought down. Would have done that myself except I have carpal tunnel. I might decide to use them again, but I will suggest they put down blankets first instead of after.
Description of Work: A disassembled treadmill taken downstairs and a bed frame disassembled (no screws) and taken downstairs.
