My dealings with them went well in terms of them being responsive, clear, and easily understood about their prices. I did not end up using them because another company offered the same service for a better price. I would not hesitate to say that this company was good to deal with.

The movers were punctual, wasting no time during the job. Because it was a relatively small move I was not able to receive a solid estimate on the time frame, this caused me to be a bit nervous about paying by the hour. I have heard horror stories from other friends about this situation. However, the job ended up being very reasonable in price only slightly more time added on than I thought there would be. Also, the movers packed my large mirrors and antiques with great care. I would highly recommend these guys.
Description of Work: Moved from a shared two-bedroom house to a large studio across town.

They came a little later than quoted, checked the stuff they had to move (size, quantity, etc) then decided where to park van (lived on a small, crowded street). They began moving stuff right away, filled the van with our stuff then went on a lunch break. They came to new house at quoted time and unloaded all the stuff into proper rooms quickly. Were finished when they said and cost what they quoted. We got a discount because we paid cash. They also moved some old appliances from apartment garage back into the old apartment for us.
Description of Work: They came and moved me from an apartment to a 2-story home. They did a great job. They were fast, professional, and got the work done quickly.

Fabulous -- I could not have been more satisfied. The movers, Paul and Lee, showed up right on time and were extremely professional, quick and careful with my items. I anticipated the move would take 4 hours, but they were done in 2. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Moved 1 bedroom, office and kitchen to 2 bedroom house approximately 1 mile away. Items moved included numerous boxes, outdoor BBQ, large dressers, bookshelf, etc.

Everyone I talked to on the phone to get a quote, then to make the reservation, then to confirm the reservation was exceptionally polite and pleasant. They made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. Then the 2 movers arrived early on a Saturday morning, assured me they would take care of my things, asked questions when they weren't sure what to move (I had as much prepared as possible, but was leaving things behind, too), and were hard-working, pleasant, and careful. And did I mention FAST? They arrived before 8:00 and had everything unloaded and setup by Noon! I was so happy with them and have been recommending them to all of my friends today!

Great! They arrived early and got everything loaded onto the truck in 2 hours and then promptly drove over and unloaded at my new house. They were very careful and professional, which I appreciated greatly. Moves are stressful and working with them really took that stress out of the equation so I could focus on the excitement of my move.
Description of Work: They moved my 2 bedroom apt. into my new 2 bedroom home. A local move.

They showed up at 2:30 and took about four hours to completely move from one apartment to the other. They even disassembled the bed at no extra charge. Worked efficiently for the whole time. Courteous and professional.

It took two days and the first day was better than the second, but overall I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They moved two full storage rooms to my house to be unpacked and gone through, items removed and then repacked what I wanted to keep to move out of state with. They also packed up everything else at my house to be moved. They did not move out of state so I used another mover for that.
