A-1 Movers

Description of Work: NIGHTMARE!!!! AFTER SOME TIME ON THE JOB, WHICH WE SPECIFICALLY SAID HAD TO BE COPLETED BY MIDNITEGHT, THE BOSS AND ONE OTHER WORKER LEFT THE JOB TO GO DO ANOTHER JOB!!!The four hours they were gone were the eight (4x2=8) hours that would have gotten our security deposit back. Lazy and incompetent, jerking phone, television, and computer jacks out of their receptacles--many left plugged in, and being broken, useless. Many items broken and scratched or totally destroyed, improperly packed, just dumped in boxes--basically trashed our things, including a 100 year old clock. No idea of how to properly pack and load, or handle. It was more like the scene of a fire clean-up: just scrape it up and dump it. It was impossible to track them-they flitted around from one thing to another like a flock of sparrows, lot's of motion but not much done. IF you want your belongings to be treated like garbage being hauled to the dump, then this is the company you want. If not, call one of the big companies-Allied, Nationwide, Mayflower, and rest easy, secure in the knowledge you have professionals working for, not against you. Hire this outfit, and my guess is they are the dregs swept up of the street, because they d*** sure didn't know much about moving. The broken items, damaged and destroyed items, the attitudes, the laziness of two the "workers", the lousy packing,---all of this told me we were in trouble. We are still going through boxes nearly a month later, and still finding scratched and damaged items. None of these people have the professional training that the big companies provide their contractors, and it really shows. For $2500 I could have had real pro's in and out in probably 12 hours. Want a circus? Then call "A-1". Thing is, it will not be funny. Heartbreaking is more like it.

Description of Work: This is long overdue and I apologize to Ricky and his team for that. A-1 Movers exceeded all our expectations. Ricky and his men arrived exactly on time and quickly evaluated the best way to do the move. They wrapped the furniture, moved it with great care and completed the work ahead of time. Ricky and one of his men went above and beyond the "call of duty", and went down into a crawl-space to shut off a water line. They also moved some furniture to the home of our daughter-in-law, which was not part of the original plan, doing this without extra charges. They are without a doubt the best at what they do; I will recommend them to anyone planning a move. Ricky and the A-1 Mover's team has our thanks for everything they did.

Description of Work: This was a big move, we went from a 4 BR house that we had lived in for almost 25 yrs. in Des Moines IA to an even bigger 3 BR house outside of Albuquerque NM. There were literally hundreds of boxes along with all of our furniture. The cost was about 11.5 thousand and they earned it. We have been unpacking for a week and are not finished but everything so far has arrived in good order and no breakage. The crew was friendly and worked hard. They accomplished the unload in 6 1/2 hours complete with getting the master bed set up for us that night. (only the 2 of us in the household). They packed us up with a crew of 4 in one day, with some additional packing on loading day. All together the move was completed in 4 days including travel time, with 2- 24' trucks. Larger trucks would have been very difficult if not impossible getting into our new homes' street and driveway. If we had to do it over we would definitely use Ricky Lyle and his crew again. A+

Description of Work: Hired to help load heavy furniture into a POD storage unit. Two men loaded everything by hand. They were careful and professional not to bang doorways or scrape floors. They loaded the POD efficiently. I had also asked them to carry furniture to the curb and move furniture from one place to another. Patient and helpful and fast. Would totally recommend!!
