Description of Work: Full move. They did a great job. The estimate range (min and max) was exceeded by $1,000 which was disappointing.

Very nice Rep came to survey the home and get a handle on what needed to be moved to storage unit and what needed to go to a temporary rental location. When later our plans changed some, everyone was extremely nice and helpful in regrouping. On the schedule day we needed help, the truck arrived right on time. Two very nice young men introduced themselves, and went right to work loading the truck. The only hitch we had was a mechanical issue with the truck, but the company sent a maintenance person out who resolved the problem. This is a very professional company, with really nice employees, and I would definitely recommend them to friends!
Description of Work: moved boxes to storage unit

Description of Work: I use McCorquodqle Transfer all the time. With an attic full of furniture and two children there is always a piece of furniture being swapped around between houses. Their guys even helped me rearrange my attic. We also used them when we downsized from a home we'd been in for 28 years. I can't say enough great things about them.

They not only showed up on time, but called to see if they could come early. They did a great job and did not damage one item. They worked quickly and had great manners and very friendly and clean cut.
Description of Work: We relocated our business back to our house. We had to set up the studio and they moved everything exactly where we wanted it. We had expensive printer and they did a great job moving it.

Overall very professional, but emails often not answered for several days. Not without problems. On return, frame of sofa was cracked, arms of 2 chairs were scraped and the top of my dining room table was covered in scratches. I noticed the cracked sofa frame immediately and pointed out the damage. I received no response from the crew chief. I opened one box to look for a missing item and found that a lamp was dissembled, basically ripped from its base, in order to make it fit in the box. Instead of removing the harp, they ripped the base from the lamp. They are the only reliable company for moving a piano and antiques, but I was a bit disappointed. I emailed Bart, the owner, but received no response. Based on their reputation and prices, I expected more. I have yet to get prices on fixing the damage incurred, but it will probably run into the thousands. If I had to move a piano again, I would use them. Unless I had a very specific need, as I did this time, I will probably use another company in the future.
Description of Work: moved furniture, paintings, rugs to storage for renovation. Returned same after renovations were complete.

Overall, this was the best experience with movers I have ever had, and I have moved a lot over the past 30 years. In the Birmingham area, I would recommend McCorquodale Transfer as the very best.
Description of Work: I was extremely pleased with my recent move, using McCorquodale Transfer. They did everything right; they were punctual, pleasant, and professional -- the best, smoothest, and easiest move I've ever experienced. It was more complicated than usual, because we had a pickup at one home, took some items to a 2nd home, picked up additional pieces, and then took everything to storage. I was impressed it was done in less than five hours. McCorquodale charged about $10 more per hour than other movers (due to being state-licensed, I was told), but they were definitely worth every penny and I gratefully gave the guys a good tip, too.

They are a top moving company. My son worked there for the summer. They are very professional. They started out by hauling antiques. They had so much demand to move antiques that they are full-time in the business now. We didn't use the truck, so they didn't charge for it. They are professional. They don't smoke. There is no bad language. They are all courteous. They always stop by and ask how I am.
Description of Work: They moved some antiques down to our basement. They sent a truck and two men just in case they wouldn't fit in the basement.

Our move began on a Saturday morning at 8 am and ended around 3 pm. The only break they took was for a quick lunch. It was a HOT day, and these guys kept it going. We were very happy with the service they provided.
Description of Work: The employees over the phone and in person were friendly, informative, and efficient. All of our items were moved without any damage. Their estimates were maybe $100 more than other companies/franchises in town, but totally worth it. I prefer to support small business when I can, and I am happy we chose McCorquodale Transfer.

Description of Work: The Men are very professional and prompt. They have this down to a science. I have used them several times for several moves both large and small. They take extreme care. I did my own packing to save money. I have not used them for out-of -town moves. They are more expensive than some I"ve used, but well worth it. Moving can be traumatic and hectic and they made the experience bearable and positive. I will use them again and can hardly recommend them.

They did an excellent job and we were very pleased with the service. I would definitely use them again because they were careful and clean. They even set the bed up for us which was very nice. The price was reasonable as well.
Description of Work: They picked up a bedroom set for us from the store and delivered it to our home which was about one mile away.

This company moved me less than 5 miles and because of the holiday weekend they were all over booked, so they charged me three times more than the previous moving company that moved my husbands things. I was so disappointed in them and I thought they used me.
Description of Work: They moved us locally which were only 5 miles away.
