We hired A Better Tripp several years ago and they lied and cheated us. We asked several times for extra insurance and they lied to us about the process. Secondarily, they promised to bring appropriate materials to pack our fragile and valuable items. They did not and one of the movers brought his out-of-shape wife to pack me up. They caused over $30k worth of damage and promised to make good on reimbursing me. Instead, they ran out the clock lying all the way. These are the most unethical and horrible people I have ever worked with. Not only did I lose many valuable things in a flood, I then lost valuable items in the move. They did not even put blankets around my Italian leather couch and ruined it so I have to spend $6k re-doing it. I WOULD NEVER TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH MY THINGS. They had the nerve to call me crazy when the CONTRACTED (they lie about this, too), third-party mover, not them moved my things. This was a $22k move that ruined $30k worth of my items. The contracted mover, after seeing the devastation of my items, told A Better Tripp that I was crazy. How pathetic that they believed them and then lied to me about doing something about this. I know other people who also had a terrible experience.

This mover was excellent in all areas and exceeded in most. When I moved to Texas from Michigan 14 years ago I used Allied, one of the biggest movers in the Countty and it was a huge mistake. It was a nightmare so when I was moving back to Michigan I was worried and my anxiety about the move was off the charts high. I did Not need to be worried, it was 5 star starting with Melvin, the salesman who came out to give me a quote, to the move and delivery. If you are looking for a mover, look no further you will not be disappointed!!

It went smoothly. This was my third move with Better Tripp so I knew it would be stress free. The movers were professional and did an excellent job. They had to move large furniture to my third floor and they did not get one mark on my freshly painted walls. There was no damage to my furniture.

It was a challenge because it looked like there was no way to move this super big and extremely heavy sleeper sofa up a narrow staircase, but they figured it out! They were awesome!

This is the second move A Better Tripp has completed for us. They are absolutely the best and most professional movers I have dealt with! From the initial contact, through the actual scheduling, packing and move, each phase involves the most professional staff I have dealt with. Everyone is efficient, courteous, timely and experienced. It is very evident the painstaking care the packers and movers take to make certain all of your possessions arrive in great shape without any damage! I highly encourage anyone that is planning a move to contact and use A Better Tripp! You will be so glad you made that call!

Everything was more than perfect. They disassembled and wrapped every piece of furniture with care. In no time the house was emptied and no mess was left. They value your property as though it were their own. ABT's value is better than most moving and storage companies. They charge hourly for deliveries and by month for storage services, not by weight.

They did a great job. They wrapped everything carefully got it all into the truck with no damage. It was then unloaded at the new house. They took great care of everything. There was no damage to the items or the house. The were very courteous & put everything where my wife told them. They did not waste any time started work as soon as they arrived. After everything was unloaded & put in place they did a final walk thru to make sure that we were satisfied.

I could not have been happier with the professionalism all around. Our floors had been refinished in the new house and the moving team was very careful to lay down mats at boxes to protect them, although based on their efficiency I would say they always protect the floors and walls. All of our items arrived intact and were carefully packed. I would highly suggest A Better Tripp Moving & Storage Co as the money was well spent to ensure all of our belongings were moved with care.

It went well and took less than 15 minutes and paid almost $400 for the service - I wanted the job done without damaging my wood stairs and floor and they took good care however it was outrageously expensive

Better Tripp is expensive but professional. You get what you pay for. Packing took a day for half the household, moving took a little over 7 hours.

From the moment of my quote request, Melvin Parker and the A Better Tripp team displayed the utmost levels of professionalism and responsiveness. A Better Tripp Moving and Storage helped make the moving/relocation process less stressful and more enjoyable. Melvin and the Operations team were very responsive to my many questions and provided a detailed overview of the process and costs...which for those of us whom are planners and financially wise, is very important. The day of the packing/move, "Roz" and team, were very punctual and professional. The packing/moving team took great care to ensure my household goods were handled and delivered to the new location (3+ hours away) with no damages and also no scratches to the walls in the home. If you are considering a move, within or outside of Houston, please give A Better Tripp an opportunity to provide service for you. You will be glad you did. Angie P.

I am very pleased with my experience with A Better Tripp. When I called to have a representative come out to give me an estimate, I was immediately put in contact with their sales manager, Renee, who scheduled to come out a few days later. She was punctual, professional, personable, and made sure to provide me information on my rights as a person looking to move. The quote came back to me quickly, and it was competitive with several other moving companies that I received quotes from. Once I agreed to go with A Better Tripp and had the pick up scheduled, the workers - Jose, Jose, and Geraldo - were also punctual, professional, and efficient. I had already packed my boxes but not my furniture, and the workers took care to pack my furniture carefully. Jose and Jose happened to be the drivers and unpackers for my move, and they kept me updated on where they were in route to my destination and arrived to NJ on time. They again were very good in unpacking all my furniture and unloading all my boxes. All of the company's staff from administrative personnel I interacted with when I called to the workers who I met in person were great and made me feel like I made the right decision in choosing them. I didn't get any of the pushiness that I got with some other larger national companies I got quotes from, and I really appreciated the responsiveness to my questions during the process. I would definitely use this company again.

They were great. Right on time and ready to work. The guys were kind enough to also load a curio unit for us. They even loaned us extra tie downs and trusted us to mail them back. Very courteous and hard working. Price - there aren't very many piano professionals to choose from. I think the price is about average. We were willing to pay more for a company with good reviews.

The New York city movers we had to hire for New York insurance requirements gave us a number of problems, but the work performed by A Better Tripp was excellent.
