Five stars! Tim Pratt and his extremely professional crew wrapped everything expertly and moved us quickly into our new home without any breakage at all. He also lent us wardrobe boxes and dish packs which saved us time and money. Definitively would use his company again.

They were great. Tim gave me a solid estimate, the crew arrived 15 minutes early and were so efficient that my bill was less than the estimate. First move in my life were nothing was broken. I couldn't be happier!

Excellent -- as ex-military, I have moved dozens of times and know a professional operation when I see one. What separates Pratt Van Lines from others is the care they take to treat your household itms like they were their own. I highly recommend their services.

Tim and his team were all professionals. He called me 1 week out, 3 days out, and we spoke the night before. We lived on base so he wanted to make sure he had every detail worked out to get his team and vans through the main gate. They arrived early, worked hard, wrapped and took care of all our belongings. At the new house, they carefully unloaded everything and even offered to help me assemble bunk beds, new furniture, etc. I would definitely use them again and I will refer them to anyone I know who is moving locally. I was VERY IMPRESSED! Thank you Tim!

The movers were extremely careful and packed every item super well. Because of their packing to carefully it did take much longer than I expected. Would have been nice to know that moving a 2 room apartment estimate would take 8 hours not 4.

Two men arrived early and got straight to work. The were very respectful. Assured me they were insured should anything go wrong, which it didn't. They shrink wrapped my furniture, utilized special moving dollies so that nothing would scratch walls, brought moving blankets should we have needed them. They were, "Yes sir, yes ma'am" the entire shift. I would absolutely use them again. Their efficient packing even saved me 4' of space on the truck, the savings nearly made their cost free to me. You won't go wrong with with a decision to hire Pratt!!

They showed up on time & as expected. In moving the sofa bed, they damaged some wood trim around the doorframe by, basically, forcing it through rather than taking the time to see if feet or something could be taken off to make it fit more readily. It got done & no huge damage was done, but I had some damage to fix nonetheless.

See above! This made it NOT "go" at ALL! I do NOT do business in this way and cannot recommend this owner due to all of the above mistreatment all emerging afternoon I caught him in a sizeable math error...has forced me now to wonder -- WAS it an error? Or a misguided failed attempt to recoup the Angie's List discounted features offered on here ("saving" traveling distance and fuel surcharge and supply costs all) by simply and conveniently adding that same amount back in? Hmmm....suppose that too could be? Why else would he get SO angry and demonstrate such retribution after being discovered? I don't know which for sure -- only that he reversed everything he started the week prior all after this math error was discovered (by me) and finally accepted on 4th try by him. Like dealing with two entirely different people actually
Response from Pratt Van Lines
"Yes, I went to Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s home to perform an onsite survey per his request. He shared with me another moving company's estimate and asked me if I could give him a quote instead of an estimate. I said yes, I would do that. I gave him an estimate the next day with a breakdown of our hourly rate and the estimated hours his move would take. He emailed me later that day to let me know he believes I made an error in my math as my figures didn't line up with my quote. I reviewed my quote and did discover that I had accidently added the Angie's List amount twice. I contacted Mr. [Member Name Removed]and apologized to him for the over site. He then began to continue to dissect my quote and based on my hourly rate, my quote should be lower. I did respond to him that when I give a guaranteed quote, I round my quote up to provide a little cushion, which was around $75.00 extra from what he thought the quote should be. I also reminded him that his final charges will not exceed the quote amount, although, if his move takes less time than estimated, that his final charges will be lower. The final charges if lower than the quote are not cushioned. After that communication with Mr. [Member Name Removed], he still wanted me to go down on my quote. I stated to him he has to make a decision whether he was going to accept my quote or not. He still had not responded to me one way or the other, so I did take my quaranteed price off the table and gave him an estimate which was actually lower than my quote amount. He again refused to accept my estimate as well. He just wanted me to stay with a quoted amount based on his numbers and not the amount I was offering to him. I stated to him that he really needed to make a decision on if he was going to accept my final offer, as I explained to him that I get calls daily for moves and I accept jobs on a first come first serve bases and if another customer accepts my estimate for a move on the days he is requesting, he will loose the opportunity for us to perform his move. Soon after that communication, I did receive a call for a move on the days he was requesting, so I accepted that move as it was a guaranteed move. Mr. [Member Name Removed]not one time ever gave me a yes answer on either one of my price offers. In Summary, my final quoted and estimated offers were lower than the offer he received from the other moving company. I was also providing free packing materials for his move. The other moving company was charging him for packing materials. I was also offering free storage overnight at my base yard as we were trying to accommodate his schedule. I feel I went our of our way to help Mr. [Member Name Removed]keep costs down. He just wasn't willing to accept the offers I gave to him and was attempting to get us to bring our costs down to what he wanted. We felt we were very fair to him, but at some point he needed to make a decision on our estimate. He failed to do that. We had to move on. Sincerely, Tim Pratt President Pratt Van Lines"

Extremely well. They provided materials and were on time and efficient. Tim came out and inspected what we wanted moved. He gave us an estimate that could vary +/- 10%. His final bill was less than his estimate. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Pratt uses ONLY 16 ft. trucks which were really too small for our job. That meant that they had to make 2 trips between our storage unit in NE Albuquerque and our home in SE Albuquerque greatly increasing the time they were on the clock at $95/hr for two movers. I'd consider using them again but only for a move that could fit into a 16 ft. van.

Tim and his crew were prompt and professional. He came on time for the quote and followed up with me. During the move, they were extremely careful and blanket-wrapped everything, even the lightbulbs to my lamps! These men were efficient, polite, and super careful with my belongings. Although my move had 2 stops, Tim quoted the right amount of time. Big surprise to me; Tim called the day after the move and said he had overcharged me! We made arrangements for the refund. Who does that??! Highly recommend Pratt!

Exceptionally well. We have moved many times over the years but this was the BEST company that has moved us. Tim Pratt is the ultimate professional. His team has been with him for 5+ years and they are top-notch. The wrapped everything carefully, the loaded with extreme care, the unloaded and reassembled with care, even in 100+ degree weather. I can't say enough great things about them.

Tim and his crew were truly wonderful to work with. Because of problems with the sale of our home, we changed the date of our move 3 times and Tim worked around this without any apparent angst on his part. He kept in steady communication leading up to packing and loading day. His crew were cheerful, careful and also communicated well with us on what was to be loaded onto the rental truck and what would be stored in a nearby garage. Tim was here throughout the actual packing day to insure our truck was packed securely to avoid any shifting. The load did not shift and nothing broke! Because we had packed up most of our possessions (except for the kitchen) Tim even reduced the price from his original quote so he gets an A+ on fairness and integrity from us. We will definitely use Pratt Moving again and recommend them to friends in ABQ.
