Perfect. This is the second time we’ve hired Move-tastic and we’ve been completely thrilled with their service. From the first phone call to the actual move, they are professional, kind, helpful and show integrity that isn’t often seen from businesses today. I honestly can’t think of another...

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this provider. The provider contacted me right away to let me know that it was out of their service area. I was able to get a refund for the Big Deal.
