"We hired Hedberg to move our mom from a townhome to an apartment. The move itself went very smoothly, but more importantly, they were great with our mom, who was kind of nervous about the whole process, and they even went over and above by making sure her mattress was flipped exactly as she wanted. They were great to work with and we would definitely hire them again."

Moving and Storage - moving local (within the state of Wisconsin) or long distance (anywhere in the contiguous U.S. to/from the upper mid-west). Winter boat and RV storage, household furnishing storage, warehousing of commercial products. 16,000 sq ft climate controlled storage, 8,000 sq ft non-climate controlled storage

"This is so unfortunate we have to leave this review. The initial move they helped us with was efficient and great. So we called and asked them to move a shed for us. Unfortunately the movers broke the shed. We understand these things happen and just wanted to file a claim to have it fixed or replaced. So we contacted the company with pictures details twice with no response. The damage includes the doors not aligning because the whole shed leans and screws are ripped from the roof. Also the shed was ripped from the base causing the screws to be ripped through the bottom of the shed which lead to damage as well. When we called to follow up, the office manager said she’d talk to the movers and never called us back. We emailed again to no response. About a week later (today) I called again to follow up and she said the movers said they didn’t damage it and so she refused to start a claim for us. I hate having to post this because I want to support local businesses. That’s why we hired them in the first place! They were not the least expensive but we try to support local and also were assured by the owner if anything went wrong or damage happened it would be addressed immediately. This experience though is unbelievable and it seems they aren’t willing to honor their own contractual terms regarding damage. I really wish I could recommend them but I’d say avoid at all possible costs. Two men and a truck was better than this and that says very little."

Movers & Lumpers Services Inc. we are a growing Faith Based moving labor professional company that provides a variety of moving help, general labor & extensive cleaning services. Our trained Crew will load/unload your Rental Trucks, Moving PODS, Self-Storage Bins, U-Box and Moving Containers or Drive your trucks . We strive to make Moving Stress-Free. We offer Nationwide moving labor assistance with a variety of group of Loaders, Unloaders, Packers, Unpackers, Lumpers and Driving assistance. J.C. Mover's has all your moving labor and storage needs. Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. Ten years of providing excellent customer service and offering low rates. Our Crew Members are knowledgeable in the proper techniques of protecting furniture while delivering customer satisfaction.

"Working with JC Movers & Lumper Service was the worst experience of moving that I’ve ever had because of the incompetence and unprofessional behavior of the crew. Only 2 movers showed up rather than the 3 we paid for. When asked, the other movers laughed, smirked at each other, and just said "He's not coming." The crew leader, Curtis, smelled strongly of alcohol upon arrival. Throughout the day Curtis was aloof, slow-moving, and rarely spoke. He stayed inside the townhouse most of the day, taking apart a crib, and left all the hard work and actual moving to the younger member of the crew. The younger man was inexperienced and severely damaged our hardwood floors, front door, and drywall up and down the stairs. He was extremely careless with our possessions and did not load the truck efficiently or safely. He filled the entire trailer with boxes and furniture, but only about 5’ high despite having 9' of vertical space to work with. Heavy boxes were placed on top of lighter boxes, and the boxes marked "fragile" were put on the bottom of the load underneath heavy furniture or other heavy boxes. Most of these fragile boxes and their contents were damaged during the cross-country drive. The load was not braced or reinforced in any way to avoid items shifting in transit which caused serious damage to a prized antique bookcase and several other items. When the crew at the destination opened the trailer to transfer the contents into a shuttle, everything had shifted during transit and many boxes were crushed. The crew actually identified a safety risk in unpacking the trailer because items would shift dangerously when a box or piece of furniture was removed. They were able to fit our entire load into 16' of shuttle truck space when stacked efficiently to the ceiling and properly braced. This is 12' less than what the JC moving crew used which represented over $900 in unnecessary trailer space cost. In terms of the good, two things: 1. After being advised of this experience, the president of the company, Chandra Thomas, extended a courtesy credit of $250. Although this is half of what it will cost to fix the bookcase, not to mention the extra space the JC crew used in the trailer, I did appreciate the gesture. Chandra was very professional and responsive which made interacting with her the only bright spot in this entire experience. 2. The company sent a contractor to fix the front door, walls, and hardwood floors in our townhouse which was done reasonably well and quickly. Considering everything together, I would recommend you avoid this company and look for a more reputable local mover that will treat your home and possessions with respect and care."

No instate moves. Must leave state. Long Distance Moving Carrier serving 25 states, in business since 2006. Family owned and operated. Not a broker, Agent or referral service. We understand moving can be stressful, and we’re here to make sure you get the help you need and deserve. We are the top company in this industry, so you don’t have to worry about the “guess work” of finding the right long-distance moving company. You already found the BEST! Since 2006 we have stayed the path of 100 percent customer satisfaction. This achievement illustrates the significant focus Move Quick has on our customers.

"In spite of numerous negative reviews about Move Quick, Inc., I opted to hire this company for my move from West Virginia to Los Angeles. I spoke to Phillip, the manager/owner, who convinced me that the posted complaints had been resolved and were exaggerations. However, I, too, was subjected to an exaggerated low bid in order to snag my business. I, too, experience problems with the pick up and the delivery dates. The movers were a day late in arriving, then quoted me a 67% increase in price, from $3,100 to $5,200. BUT I was stuck. The company already had my deposit money. Also, I was charged for one flight of stairs and an exaggerated inaccurate measurement of my front door to the truck. I had been told there was no fee for one flight. I had provided exact measurements for the items in my two rooms of furniture. True, I had 51 boxes instead of 40 but that did not warrant such an increase in price, 67% almost $2,000. Delivery was also problematic. I had told Move Quick, Inc. that I would be at my new home 25 days after the pick up, October 30, 2019. That should have been more than enough time for any truck to drive cross country. They made me wait until December 4, 2020, a total of 25 days to drive 2,400 miles. I made the drive solo in 5 days. Communication with the company once they have your money is near to impossible. It took threats and 6 days for Philip to respond. He then provided an insignificant $75 discount. My recommendation: go with a larger company than can provide an accurate estimate and deliver within a reasonable time. Also, use a company that uses the industry standard of moving cost based on the weight of your items. Don’t let Phillip tell you his method of charging based on volume is better. No one else does this, for a reason. Other estimates I had received were in the $3,700 range.I should have Booked Elsewhere!”"

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Qualified piano movers will take several steps to protect your piano from damage during the move. First, they'll wrap the piano to protect its finish. Ideally, they'll wrap the piano in a specialized blanket that features a soft, padded interior and a tougher exterior. 

After wrapping your piano, the movers will securely strap it to a dolly for safe transport to and from the moving truck. Once the piano is in the truck, movers might put the piano on a piece of plywood to help level it during the move, depending on the truck bed. They will then strap it in place so it doesn't shift around during the drive to your final destination.

If you hire a professional and reputable piano mover, you should have to do minimal prep work. Most movers will pack and protect your piano as necessary, so you don’t need to worry about that. Instead, use the following tips for a smooth relocation:

  • Get children and pets out of the house for the day to avoid accidents and distractions

  • Clear a wide path from your piano to the exterior

  • Prepare means of propping open doors leading outside

  • Pull the moving vehicle up to the home’s exit

The best way to save money when hiring a moving company is to pack and protect your belongings yourself, which includes wrapping delicate items in bubble wrap, putting belongings into organized boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can then leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading and unloading the boxes and moving furniture—to the professionals. You can also save money by scheduling services in advance and moving during the off-season, which is usually the winter.

No, not tipping movers isn’t considered rude. Tipping is optional, not expected. There are plenty of alternative ways to show your appreciation without tipping.

Deciding whether it's worth it to hire movers depends on your budget, patience, and physical capabilities. It's difficult to gauge the amount of work that moving calls for, and it's easy to be off by about tenfold. 

If you're able to call in some favors and round up friends to help, you might get through it just fine, but if you only have a few hands helping, things can quickly get overwhelming. Either way, bringing in the pros will save considerable time and stress, so if it's within your budget, it's a great investment.
