About us

Our name gives it away: We’re not your ordinary household moving company. We’ve got degrees in Criminal Justice and Music and History. We’re massage therapists and comic book makers and math whizzes. We might even bore you with arcane facts about little-known and/or long-forgotten Civil War Generals. We’re movers by chance but also by choice. We love the physical challenge, the team work, the righteous feeling of a tired body at the end of a hard day’s work. We love that each day is different, love seeing fast progress in our work, love the simple pleasure of carrying out every task, no matter how small, with skill and care. Maybe most importantly, we love meeting new people, setting them at ease, and making a small but important difference in their lives during a stressful time. And, of course, we love all the thanks and appreciation we get. (After all, we’re only human!)

Well, let's see - This company is excellent! Our entire move from getting an estimate to the actual moving process was done so professionally.The movers were friendly, organized, extremely careful with our belongings and future. As my husband, who is a retired small business owner, said " You can tell a great company by how its employees do their jobs".

This review is for Adamantine Spine West in Denver,CO. Fantastic job! I chose this company because of the values they structure their business around, which are also highlighted on their webpage: paying a solid hourly wage to their movers, supporting local communities and economies, supporting NPR, and giving well rounded advice on everything from moving with children to minimizing the environmental impact of moving. The movers, who were also the owners, were friendly, efficient, and very hard workers. There was great communication, they were always on time, and they did a great job of protecting my furniture and belongings during a long-distance move. Their quote was competitive with other companies and actually ended up costing less than what they had quoted me. I would heartily recommend Adamantine Spine West to anyone needing help moving in Colorado!
Description of Work: Spine West loaded my belongings, drove them 250 miles from Denver to a different part of the state, and unloaded everything at my new address.

The moving team arrived promptly. The move involved getting into the apartment building next door and they transferred my belongings in less than 90 minutes. Everything was done quickly and professionally. I thought the service was first rate.

Although we didn't use this company for my mother's move I wanted to leave a comment on my interaction with their representative. They were helpful, responsive and completely professional. Followed up on my initial contact and were honest and straightforward with their responses to me. I was impressed with their professionalism and would have used them if our situation hadn't changed.

From the first email request to the final email communications, Adamantine Spine Moving, were friendly, had consistent positive attitudes, and got the job done quickly. We had several questions about what we could do to help them do their job easier and they responded quickly with easy to understand directions. We had several large and awkward items to donate to ReStore and to Goodwill that we didn't know how the heck we'd get them out of our house. Adamantine Spine Moving took those items for us to the stores without any hesitation. My family has moved most years, thanks to being a military family, and this company is THE BEST moving service we've ever encountered. We won't use any other moving service in the future. If Adamantine Spine Moving is still around, we will use them without question.
Description of Work: Adamantine Spine Moving relocated my 2 bedroom house contents to my new 3 bedroom house, in one day, both in Iowa City. My family completed the packing and sorting, Adamantine Spine Moving moved the boxes and furniture from one house to the other house. Adamantine Spine Moving also delivered many heavy and awkward items to ReStore and Goodwill for us, too.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Adamantine Spine Moving. They crew was friendly and courteous and focused on getting the job done. They handled everything with care and took care of those last few things you always have when packing. They were patient and flexible with our delayed closing which took so much stress off us on an otherwise stressful day. We liked them so much that we plan to have them move items we have stored in a storage item to our new house as well. All that and they are focused on their community as well. This is the kind of group, a company with character, you want moving your items.
Description of Work: We hired them to load our belongings, store them overnight and move them into our new home. This was a local move. They provided great help and suggestions for making this a smooth transition.

The service was good. They showed up exactly on time. They were done very very quickly. They did not break or damage anything. Our son and daughter-in-law left when they left and they got there at the same time. The workers were nice and courteous. One of the movers that helped was one of the owners. They did not pack anything, they just moved us.

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Adamantine! Everyone we interacted with during 2 moves was professional, polite, friendly, efficient, and respectful and cautious with the items they are moving!! I first contacted them about moving a household worth of items in October from a storage unit in Coralville to a home in Minneapolis. My primary contact was with one of the owners - Eric, and he was very responsive in getting back to me after my initial inquiry and when I had further questions. His estimate for the total weight of our move was spot on, and he was very easy to work with. I received an update the day before and the crew kept me updated on their arrival time the morning of the move. The loading at storage, and unloading in Minneapolis one day later by 2 of the same crew members went flawlessly! My mother-in-law was with me as they loaded the items from storage, and she still talks about how impressed she was with Adamantine! The second part of our move involved moving items from a condo and storage facility in Chicago to our home in Minneapolis at the beginning of December. I had talked with and received estimates from moving companies based around Chicago, and was thrilled to learn Adamantine would also be able to provide an estimate for this move. I again primarily talked with Eric, and the estimate was competitive, if not better, than those of the Chicago-based companies. Without hesitation, we went with Adamantine and were happy to see many of the same crew members from our first part of our move. The crew of 4, including Eric, did an incredible job maneuvering the truck into a storage facility and our condo loading area in Chicago (thanks Mike!!), and again were extremely efficient and diligently careful with packing some of our items and loading the truck. I can't believe how easy they made a somewhat complicated move (navigating around downtown Chicago, maneuvering in tight parking lots and alleys at 2 locations, moving items from a 9th floor condo) appear. The unloading of our items two days later by two of the same crew members in Minneapolis was again without any problems and they were extremely cautious with our items and the floors/walls/light fixtures in the house. Moving is extremely stressful, and we are so grateful we found Adamantine. They really made moving as easy as it could be. Their prices were competitive, and their customer service put them leagues ahead of other moving companies I talked with. I hope to not have to move again for a very long time, but I would not hesitate to use Adamantine again, and I highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Adamantine moved us twice within 2 months. Move #1 was from a storage unit in Coralville to a home in Minneapolis, while move #2 was from a condo and storage unit in Chicago to Minneapolis.

I used them twice. They are incredibly conscientious and careful with your furniture. They lay plastic and rubber runners on the stairs and floors. There was a minor chip on the wall when they moved a bed but they had somebody out to repair it within a few days. They did a great job. They were very professional. It took them three days to pack everything. The charge depended on the weight. They did a very good and excellent job. However the only thing that I was not happy with was when they packed, they have different prices for different sizes of the boxes and you pay for each box. They also used too many dish box which is a very heavy box and I thought that they could have used the same box that was the same size but was not heavy duty. The difference in the price was $30 per box.

They have excellent service. It is basically a small company. So, it is the same guys that come and pack you up and the exact same guys that meet you at the other end. I do not have anything broken in the last three moves. There were some chairs that got busted, but they paid in order to get them fixed, but outside of that, I have not had anything broken. They were dependable. They bring in four workers and when we pack things up, it was probably a two or three day process. I had them actually stay in the house overnight until it got done because I have known them for so long. They stay in my house when they are packing up so they do not have to leave and come back. Then, it is like a day or two to get up here to New Jersey and it took two to two-and-a-half days to do the unpacking.
Description of Work: I used a moving company called Adamantine Spine Moving. I have used them three times in the last five years. They moved me from Iowa to Pennsylvania. Then, they moved me from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, and then from North Carolina to New Jersey in the last five years. They packed up the entire house, unpacked when we got here, and provided a service for something to put stuff in closets, dishes, and cabinets.

Bill is one of the owners of the company and the person that helped line up my move. He's the one that I dealt with over the phone, and in person to see what my moving needs were such as size of truck, size of storage unit etc. He was always available to answer my questions etc. and was always very pleasant, efficient, accurate and personnable! On moving day three young men who are college students @ U of Iowa came to load the truck. The three, Evan, Nick and Joe were very punctual, hardworking, pleasant , respectful, and very efficient!! They then drove my belongings to my storage unit in Minneapolis and unloaded everything in an organized fashion. I was very pleased all the way around with the work that was done and the care that was given my belongings, particularly my antique furniture. I would highly recommend Adamantine Spinal Movers to anyone!!

Bill communicated very well through the process. Estimate was close to actual cost. Well planned and sufficiently staffed move. Guys who packed were careful with my stuff. They were friendly, personable, and professional. Especially Mike the crew chief. They worked hard and earned their money; no slacking. I would definitely recommend and use them again myself.

They were really good. It was the hottest day of the summer last year; they were sweating, they were on time and they did everything I asked them to do. I liked their recommendation that’s why I used them. I would use them again. Those young men worked so hard I had so much stuff moved. I like their price and it was worth it. They were punctual. They were very polite. They did a great job. I had no problems with them. They're so amazing.

I have been pleased with the quality of work they did. On the first day, they came and packed all of my belongings into boxes so they were ready to be moved. On the second day, the truck was loaded and driven to CR and everything was brought into my home and put where I wanted it placed. I have been unpacking the boxes and I have been delighted to find that all of my belongings are in very good condition.

Extrememly accomodating and professional. I wanted to keep services within 2 hours in order to keep within my budget of $300. I originally planned to rent a truck from elsewhere to complete the move on my own, but I was unable to secure a moving truck from U-Haul. I panicked a little and then checked Angie's List for local moving companies. I feared I would face the same booking issue as with the rental... I feared the sound of laughter when I asked for a move date within a week. Adamantine quickly put those fears to rest and saved me from my poor planning. Services were well worth the money spent.

I highly recommend Adamantine Spine for local moves, and they also have strong connections with similar small, customer service-oriented movers around the country for national and/or international moves. Both my experiences with them were fantastic! Eric is an excellent and accurate estimator, and the moving guys, led by Roger, were punctual, cheerful and exceptionally careful with my stuff. For the haul-away, they not only made getting rid of a prodigious amount of junk as quick and painless as possible, they even took usable items to appropriate charities around town. Love the local ties -- they really know their way around the community. The guys made the whole process smooth and virtually stress-free, and their prices were quite reasonable.

The team was extremely courteous and fast. They finished well ahead of schedule and did all that was asked of them. And to top it off they made two trips after the move to pick up the used boxes and packaging materials saving me a trip to the recycling center. A great experience from start to finish.

AWESOME MOVERS! They did a great job with all aspects of the move, from packing to loading and unloading. They were considerably lower cost than the other quote I received (based mainly on their capacity with a 52' trailer as opposed to the 'other guys' who would have had to take two 26 foot trucks on the journey). Packing and loading were handled very well. Snow delayed the move a bit, but that was not a problem at all. The day the moving truck arrived in St. Paul was a snow emergency day with no vehicles allowed on my street - it could have been a real mess, but Eric was extremely flexible and moved the full-size semi tractor-trailer as the plows approached. This saved me a HUGE headache of having to contract a private company to plow my part of the street where the semi was parked or move 10 tons of snow with my shovel. Eric and his crew took it all in stride, and of course the plows showed up just 30 minutes after their arrival. Not a worry! We moved into a 100 year old house with narrow doorways and lots of gorgeous trim. If I moved myself I would have dinged the crap out of all the nice trim in the house. However, Eric, Roger, and Patrick did a great job- I don't see a single ding in the trim despite the challenges involved with the second story bedrooms, narrow staircase, etc. They were very proactive about being sure the boxes were put into the correct room and even helped me tear out some old ductwork from the garage so I could get the storage drawers I have into the spot I desired. Overall, it was a great experience. Really liked the staff, and from the initial quote to the end of the job I always felt like I was in good hands. My only regret is that I didn't meet any of the guys while I lived in Iowa City. They were really good people. USE THEM!
Description of Work: Adamantine Spine relocated our family from Iowa City to St. Paul, MN. We moved from a smaller split-level four bedroom house to a 3 bedroom 2 story craftsman in MN. They handled the packing, loading, and unloading aspects of the move.
