They were a bit expensive, but did a great job. Nothing was missing, broken, or scratched.

Communication was excellent in every aspect.  Movers and foreman were courteous and professional.  Both moves were punctual and efficient.  Nothing damaged.  Yes, they may cost a bit more than the 2 men and a rental truck, but you get what you pay for.  JK took the stress out of this move and was worth every penny.  I would highly recommend them.

"Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you had a less than desirable experience. Our records do not indicate that you filed a claim for damages after your move, so we are not able to address that issue. It is our policy that we do not move items until the threat of insects and rodents is removed for the protection of your items and your home. It is also an industry standard for movers to lift heavy items on their backs to reduce the risk of physical injury. Dollies are not used in residential moves because they can easily damage a customer’s property. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us with your feedback."

we have moved a number of times. This is by far the best mover we have ever used. they were easy to deal with when we first contacted them and the information they gave about the move was straightforward and easy to understand. they kept us informed with frequent contact and when I asked about Insurance they had a very detailed easy to understand explanation. On the day of the pickup their staff arrived on time and were very professional. I have never seen such careful and thorough packing of our goods. They kept us aware of where the shipment was and when it was due to arrive. On arrival we were informed and scheduled for delivery promptly. the movers on that end were also very efficient and brought everything in and unpacked it and placed it where we wanted. We had a lot of breakables and antiques and not one single one was damaged. We were amazed based on our previous experience. The y have followed up with questions about any of our concerns. I was very impressed that they cared for us and our household goods. If I had to move again I would definitely contact them. If you had a grading scale of 2 A, I would give it to them and I give them my strongest mahalo (Hawaiian for Thank You) as the best movers we have ever used.
Response from JK Moving Services

""Mahalo" for your gracious words and review! We are thrilled to hear that everything went smoothly and that you had a great experience with us. A move across country and ocean can be very stressful and we aim to take as much stress away from our customers during the moving process as we can. We hope that if there is another move in your future, you will think of us again and recommend us to your friends and family. Thanks again, it is always a pleasure to hear from our customers."

A five man team moved us: John Southard, Aigh, Ernesto, Lopez and Elmer. All 5 were fabulous!! While we did most of the packing ourselves, they carefully wrapped and loaded all our furniture and the large number of boxes we had packed. They were careful not only with our furniture but also took care with the house we were moving from. The next day they delivered and placed all the furniture in our new home. Again - they were careful with our belongings and also took good care of our new home. With over 16,000 lbs of "stuff", nothing was damaged or broken. They were a fun crew - constantly kidding each other. Lots of fun to have around and all 5 were great workers. They were all in constant motion. They cheerful moved furniture from one room to another - and asked one last time before they left if we wanted anything else moved. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again for a future move. If we did, we would ask for the same team - they were GREAT!!!
Response from JK Moving Services

"We are very happy to hear that you were satisfied with your move. Thank you for your kind words and we will relay your sentiments to the crew! We are grateful and honored that you chose us to move your belongings and hope that for any future moves, for you or your friends, that you will think of us again."

The move went great. On move-out day, the movers were prompt and efficient. We packed boxes ourselves, with the exception of a few items such as the flat screen TV. The movers came prepared to help us with all of those final items. We had several heavy, large items such as a freezer, an extra refrigerator, and a crated pool table--all in the basement. The movers were careful with the items and the house. There was one item of damage -- the wall behind the inside garage door sustained some damage from a doorknob. Because it was behind the door, we didn't notice it until after our walk-through and the movers were gone. We contacted our move coordinators and they promptly adjusted our bill to cover the costs of the repair. Our new home was completed three weeks after move out and JK drove 2 trucks 120 miles from their storage facility to our new location. The move-in team was fantastic. They took great care of our new floors and walls and our furniture. They went above and beyond in placing our furniture where we wanted it. When we realized that we had asked them to put a heavy bookcase in the living room instead of the basement, they cheerfully carried it down to the basement and then brought back up the correct, equally heavy bookcase to the living room! Wonderful customer service and work ethic! We've been unpacking items for several weeks now and are very impressed with the lack of damage. We had a few minor dings to furniture. We packed ourselves, so I was a little concerned as to how fragile items would fare during the storage and move. I'm very pleased with the result. All my china is unpacked and nothing was broken! TV and electronics work great. JK did a great job for us.

"Thank you for the review and kind words. Our teams train extensively to minimize the risk of damage for our customers, and we appreciate that you noticed our efforts. We hope you are enjoying your new home, and thank you for your business."

This was my 4th time using JK Moving services. I was always impressed by the company and the services that they provided to me in the past. In fact, I was so impressed with prior services that I did not feel the need to get another estimate with a competitor for my recent move. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed with my recent move that I would not use JK moving services in the future. I received an estimate for $4,400 for 8 men and approximately 8-9 hours of work. The final bill was close to $6,000 with 13.5 hours of work. The team of movers did the best they could given the circumstances but unfortunately JK should have allocated more men for the job. The move was disorganized, and boxes did not end up in the correct room. The team just dumped boxes, and personal effect in the garage and basement. We had to spend close to two days looking for items that were in the wrong space and moving to the correct location. Furthermore, the movers ran out of space in one of the trucks and I had to hire someone else the next day to finish the job. I responded to their survey letting them know how disappointed I was and they advised me that someone would be calling me to discuss. That was nearly a week ago and I have yet to hear anything more from the company. I am not certain what changed with this company but it is disappointing. I would recommend looking elsewhere for your moving needs.
Response from JK Moving Services

"Thank you for noting your concerns. We are very sorry about your experience. We estimated your two shipments at 25,300 lbs. total. As is customary with movers, we sometimes combine long distance shipments for efficiency. We planned to place your two shipments and a third one on the same truck. Based on the estimated weight, all three shipments should have easily fit in the same trailer. When your shipments were loaded, the weight and space requirements had increased by 4,150 lbs., or 16% more than estimated. The result was not all of your belongings fit and they were sent on a second truck. While we work diligently to perform accurate estimates, at times the weight and space can be more or less, based on the items being moved and their density. To address this, we will work with our Move Consultants to improve estimating accuracy. We also discussed your packing concerns with your crew members. They will participate in re-training of how to mark cartons so it is easier for customers to know what’s in each box. We regret your damaged items, here is a link to our claim form: jkmoving.com/claimform We apologize for the issues on your move. Once we realized everything was not going to fit on one truck, we should have contacted you. We are reviewing our Operations and Customer Service procedures to prevent this from happening again. We appreciate your feedback so we can learn from and correct our actions."

The first man that came to my home stated if I had a question I could call him but when I tried he was very hard to get ahold of. I have nice crystal and they only used regular newspaper to wrap it and placed it a regular box. This didnt seem safe to me. They cramped a lot of different items into boxes and there were damages on some items. I could have hired a company half the price but I thought I was paying for great service. I always pay by check but this company demanded cash once the items made it to my sons house. Luckily the bank was still open. This was a month and a half after my husband passed and I just couldnt believe the lack of customer service. Turned a stressful situation into a traumatic experience.
Response from JK Moving Services

"Thank you for taking the time out and giving us your feedback. We take complaints very seriously here at JK Moving Services, and we make sure we review every situation very carefully. It is to our knowledge that we sent a packing crew, as requested, to help you pack some of your belongings but were sent home, before the job was completed, for unknown reasons. When we pack, we use packing paper (non-newsprint), bubble wrap, special boxes, and quilted pads (respectively) on our customers’ belongings. We are sorry that despite this, some of your items were damaged during your move. We have never required that a customer pay in cash; we accept cashier’s/certified checks, credit cards, and cash – whichever the customer prefers. Again, we are sorry that some of your items were damaged, and thank you again for your feedback."

Monday morning, JK Movers' truck arrived with three movers. These guys were very polite and did an outstanding job. They were so good, they estimated a time they would be finished and were actually within 10 minutes of the estimate. The unloading was equally as stress free and efficient. This was one of our best moves ever made. I highly recommend JK Movers.

They were professional. Prompt with all appointments. They gave two estimates. They employees that moved my furniture did a good job and when they got to Florida they helped to get all the furniture in place. The driver who was in charge in Virginia came with the movers to Florida which I liked. The only problem I had was a part of my mower was damaged but the insurance covered the damage.
Response from JK Moving Services

"Thank you for the feedback. We apologize for damaging your mower. Although we professionally train our employees on the correct, careful methods to manage customers' belongings, occasionally some damage may occur. And yes, the valuation coverage does come in handy when that happens! We appreciate your business and your kind review."

I thought the movers were great. UNTIL I went to unpack the storage unit. I had pointed out the boxes marked fragile and had asked that the beds be packed in the front. The beds were against the back wall and MOST of the FRAGILE boxes were on the bottom crushed.
Response from JK Moving Services

"We are sorry to hear that your items were damaged when you went to retrieve them from storage. It can be tricky when items are moved into self-storage. We recommend that customers be present at delivery into self-storage so they can tell us exactly how they wish to have their items arranged in the unit. In fact, we just wrote a blog post about this topic to assist customers who are moving into or out of self-storage units. We apologize for your bad experience."
