Description of Work: Movers arrived precisely at appointed hour, quickly and securely wrapped, boxed and moved items from my 1-bedroom apartment. In less than 90 minutes this 1st phase was complete. I moved to an area 2 hours away: movers arrived 20 minutes after I did and just as securely and quickly removed and set up furniture and boxes. Superb and courteous work!

Description of Work: Shamrock moved my fiance's one bedroom apartment into mine. The job was done quickly, neatly and professionally. At the end of the day one limb was broken on a large plant and one coffee cup was broken. Shamrock's three man crew did all the packing and moving. They started at 8:AM and were done at 11:30AM. Best of all, the job was completed for $600 below the estimate! Great work and I'm very satisfied.

it didn't.
Description of Work: While I didn't use this service, I would never after the attitude I just got from one of their reps. I set up an appointment with this provider for Monday at 2 to provide a moving estimate.. The time came and went so at 2:25, I called the office. They said there was a one-hour window, which they never told me when I made the appointment. I asked them to cancel it. Five minutes later, the Shamrock van pulled up in front of our house and the rep called saying he had just been told the appointment was cancelled. He said that they always give a one-hour time frame, but that is not what they told me over the phone. He asked if I still wanted the quote. I told him no---that if I wasn't happy now, I wouldn't be happy later. He responded rather rudely that he KNOWS his people ALWAYS give a one-hour window and then said good-bye. Not the kind of company I want moving all my belongings.

Description of Work: Shamrock was quick to respond that my service request did not meet their volume minimum. When I thanked them for their prompt response and asked f they had an alternate recommendation they were again prompt to respond with a specialty service provider recommendation and a discount code for that provider.

Description of Work: Shamrock moved us from SF to Piedmont. Two weeks prior to the move Bob (owner) came and gave us a thorough estimate for packing our place up, moving us and unpacking the kitchen all on the requested saturday. Bob was very friendly and knowledgeable giving me detailed information on parking, insurance and tipping (absolutely no need to tip a % as his men are well paid but if we wanted to give $10/man that would be very appreciated). I asked for a maximum quote including all packing materials and tape. The day before the move 4 packers came and worked incredibly quickly and professionally. They were all very friendly. The move day went smoothly. The owners son visited us in SF on the day to make sure everything was going well and gave us his direct number for amy questions. Move started and ended on time. No breakages. When the foreman calculated the final bill it came out $500 over the quote. I told him we'd been told $2500 was a max. so we called the owners son who immediately told the foreman to honor the quote. After they left we noticed a ding on the paintwork of our front door and called them. They send someone to match the paint and once they had it came and repainted the damaged area. No questioned asked.
