Studley Moving & Storage Inc

My husband and I chose Studley Moving and Storage, Inc. because we wanted to work with a local company where we would be working directly with the owner, with the person that had the incentive to make thing go well. From the beginning, we found the communication and quality of service to be excellent. When calling or texting questions to the owner, Daniel Studley, we found that he would answer immediately, or within minutes text answers to our questions. He is a very pleasant and detailed person that works hard to make the move go smoothly for his clients. On the day of the move the packing crew of 8 arrived right on time, and with the guidance of the foreman, Darrell, immediately did a review with me of the items that were to be packed and how they should be labeled for delivery at the destination. As I mentioned above, items included a delicate grandfather clock, grand piano, treadmill, many boxes of glassware, and heavy furniture. Throughout the day, every member worked efficiently and very carefully to protect and pack our belongings. They were very pleasant and personable, and handled each item as though it was our most favored piece. They all were a joy to work with...and I've let Daniel know what a great crew he has! A few pieces of furniture were going to my daughter's who also lives in the same town in Connecticut. This required an extra stop early in the day on the 29th. This went very well, as did the delivery of our furniture to our new home later that morning. Movers were very care with the furniture and with walls and floors. As we checked items and unpacked the days following the move, we were amazed that NOTHING was scratched or broken. I have to admit we were astounded. We really weren't expecting the process of moving to run so smoothly, or to be working with such a great crew, and have an excellent result....but we did! Obviously, we would highly recommend Studley Moving and Storage, Inc.

We have used Studley Moving twice in the last 3 months. We did a double move. The first time they moved 3/4ths of our belongings to a storage unit and 1/4th to an apartment. 10 weeks later they moved us from the apartment and storage unit to our new house. I interviewed 4 companies and chose Studley because Daniel Studley, owner, came out to meet me and seemed confident in his own company. Studley provided 6 men. Although their hourly rate was higher per worker than other places I can say it was worth it. They have the same 6 men working for them. They do NOT have day laborers. They have the same crew. Daniel did tell me that he was present for majority of his moves, but he wasn't present at either of mine. In the end it wasn't a problem though. They came down and prepared my home prior to starting the move. Everything was protected from carpet, wood floors, banisters, etc. They were true professionals. These men worked hard. They rarely if ever took a break. 5/6 of the men were all business, no nonsense chit chat. They were friendly and conversational but not inappropriate. I didn't have enough blankets to cover and protect some of my furniture in storage. That wasn't a problem for Studley. They loaned some to me for a small yet reasonable fee. After the 1st move I was very happy with them but did consider hiring someone else to save some money. I ultimately decided to stay with Studley and I'm glad I did. You certainly could hire a different mover and save some money. However, for me my mind was a rest after seeing what professionals Studley Movers are. I didn't have any damage to my belongings. Nothing was broken. They treated my things as if they were their own. This is probably the hardest working crew I have ever seen. I would not think twice Angie's List members. Please consider Studley Moving for your next move. Studley Moving won't disappoint!

Well, we initially had another Angie's List mover lined up but 2 days before the move our closing was rescheduled from Friday to Monday! We were truly in panic- mode! Unfortunately, our mover was already booked up and could not help us on such short notice. So, Thursday after 6 o'clock we just started down Angie's A-rated list of local movers to see if anyone would answer! After about 8 phone calls, Daniel Studley of Studley Movers and Storage answered!! After a brief conversation he agreed to meet with us the next day to give us an and quot;on-siteand quot; estimate rather than a and quot;guess-timateand quot; over the phone. On Friday, Mr. Studley arrived to give us an estimate at the designated time and went room to room while taking notes and gave us an agreeable price quote. We told him we wanted to go ahead with securing his services for July 1. He informed us that he was already doing an out- of -state move that day but assured us his and quot;second-in-commandand quot;, Darrell and his experienced crew would do a great job for us!! Frankly, this had been such a whirlwind, I wasn't sure if anyone would show up to move us on Monday! THANKFULLY, Darrell and his crew of 4 showed up a few minutes early!! After brief introductions and a lay of the land, they got right to work. My husband and I had to leave for our closings and left two of our adult sons in charge. We returned nearly 4 hours later and the crew was finishing up with our first load...yikes! That huge truck was full and they had strategically packed each item, so that the inside of the truck looked like a game of Tetris!! That was impressive! They brought remaining items into the garage and said it would be less time-consuming to come back for the remaining few things versus trying to look for a spot and move stuff around! When we got to the house things were really hopping and boxes were finding their rooms quickly. Nicole had loaded up all of our wardrobe boxes and she took them to the new bedrooms, unloaded them and hung all of our clothes and coats in their respective new closets....that was awesome! We had many heavy pieces of furnitjre going upstairs and several pieces going down a challenging staircase to the basement but Studley's movers did it without complaints and still had smiles on their faces! They finally finished up approximately 10 1/2 hours later and it was a job well done!!! They thanked us and we thanked tpleasure working with them!

I am extremely happy. They were very careful packing and were very efficient. They even helped us put things in the car when we were leaving. They kept their word on when they would be at the house. They have been very prompt.

Professional, punctual, didn't break anything. Would use again!

They were absolutely great and did a perfect job. They even moved a very heavy heirloom piano, upstairs. Everything was moved without a scratch. The crew was great, too, and they really worked well together. They knew what they were doing and were careful and efficient. The owner personally supervised the moved.

I called the company seeking a moving date in only five days. They were able to accommodate me on such short notice. They showed up on time, did a very good job packing everything and moved everything with no damages. I would definitely use this company again.

Would use them again and would recommend them. They were fantastic to work with. Both times, no exception.

They were great to work with . . . took good care of us and added in extra help wherever needed. It was as pleasant as possible. Thanks, guys!

They're a very small company relative to other moving companies, which was part of the attraction to me. I've had nightmares with other companies in the past. We knew them and they knew us. They did an excellent job. The owner of the company drove the truck. His associate took care of getting everything into storage and making sure it was all stored appropriately. They were reliable, did what they said they would do, careful, friendly, and efficient. They wouldn't promise things they couldn't deliver on. They did a super job. Their prices were competitive. I would highly recommend them.

Darrell and his whole crew showed up on time, were extremely personable and professional, and were accomadating when some of our moving plans changed. We do not plan on moving again anytime soon, but we would definitely use their services again if we did. They even went out of their way to organize boxes and bins on the shelves of our new garage so I would not have to do it later. They went the extra mile and were very careful with our things. Nothing but praise for the crew and our moving experience

I found Studley Moving and Storage on Angie's List. Our experience was very negative. I was to move Asheville, NC to Carmel, IN. May 28th was the move day. They called back and asked to move up the date to the 27th, which I agreed. There was not a lot of paper work involved. We did receive a written estimate of $2500 subject to a 5000lbs move. They were scheduled to arrive around 8-9am. They showed up at noon. The guys came in and did an evaluation of how much they had to move. They then stated the estimate weight was between 6000-7000lbs. They took about 6-7 hours to load the truck. The movers were very nice. After they got loaded, we left Asheville around 730. The next day we were supposed to meet them at the residence and not the storage facility. They then said they couldn't make it to the residence. We finally agreed to get them to come to our residence. Many things were missing and was sent to the storage facility. We called and told them about the missing items and they would only agree to meet us between the facility and our residence. They wouldn't come back that evening. We had to make an additional trip the next day to pick up necessities for my baby. When arriving, I decided that I did not want to use the storage facility. To note, at this point, the workers and movers were very nice. They said they would deliver the rest of my items on the 30th. Then when they attempted to charge my credit card, it was around $7000. Our estimate was $2500. I was told prior to any charge, I would receive an email with the invoice. I never received the email or a notification. After back and forth, we came to an agreement of $5000. I said I would give $2500 now and the rest after verifying weight tickets and receiving the rest of our items. They ended up refusing to unload with out the full payment. We gave them the full $5000 to get our items. Again, the crew did an amazing job and worked hard, they were the only part of this experience that went well. This all was on the 30th of May. After they attempted to run my credit card, I tried calling the facility. I went to there because we hadn't received any follow up phone calls on the delivery. The owner was very unprofessional and I did not feel comfortable speaking with him further. We then began verifying the weight tickets. The heavy load ticket was on under a different moving companies ticket, which did not look right. The trailer numbers were also inconsistent. We called to weight station and they verified they did not alter any tickets. The light weight ticket says the date was the 29th, which delivery was the 28th and again the trailer numbers were again inconsistent. On the 31st, they delivered the rest of our items to the new storage facility. After this entire experience, I would inform future consumers that there is no contract or document that can help prove anything. They make everything more of a verbal agreement. The owner and the management made this experience negative. I was thankful the movers stayed very professional and courtesy throughout the whole process.

The thing that initially impressed me about Mr. Studley was that he was prompt to return phone calls and he was spending time with his daughter which is to be admired. He was willing to lower the price of his initial estimate to closely match another quote that we'd received. The Indiana crew was excellent. Mr. Studley, his manager, and his whole crew were very organized and efficient each day they were there. The first day they packed, the second they loaded, and the third morning a few of the crew finished the packing. Studley employees were very kind to our children and very respectful with our property being honest with every little item or penny that they were packing. They were willing to leave our mattresses on the final evening before the moving day. Mr. Studley was flexible with storing our items in his warehouse for several days while we moved our family south and looked for a rental home. When he brought his semi-truck to Alabama, he had another southern crew which worked tirelessly the entire day. These men were also friendly and respectful with our household goods and with our family. All of his employees asked approapriate questions if they needed to know where things went. The only things that we didn't like which were very few were that there was a change in crew members when we went south except for the owner, some of the boxes and pieces of furniture were placed in the improper rooms in our rental home, a few books were bent, one mirror was not fastened tightly enough, and one of the employees asked one of us to help with some of the setting up of furniture. Part of the problem with the items being in the wrong rooms may have been because the rental home was smaller than the house we moved from and they ran out of room to put the boxes down. After the move, when we opened the boxes we found that overall, everything was in very,very good condition. The china was SUPERBLY packed, much better than I would have done. Studley's packing materials and moving equipment were perfect in meeting the needs of our move. They did not skimp at all on the packing paper and boxes; very thick and high quality indeed. The clothing boxes were very nice in keeping the clothes organized and hanging. Nothing was amiss which showed the honesty of his workers. Mr. Studley was very friendly and nice to work with. His semi-truck was excellent with hardwood floors and nice blankets for the furniture. His packing technique into his semi-truck was brilliant. Yes, we would use this company again if we needed to.

They were fantastic. Nothing was broken and everything was packed very professionally. I have never used a moving company before but they were fantastic while packing, loading, and unloading.

It went extremely well. They had the same folks unloading as they did loading (smaller group but same people) so I knew who was in my house. They do not hire outside locals to help. They were on time. They treated my home and furniture etc as if it was their own being very careful with everything. I was extremely comfortable with them and the leader of the group was the same on both ends. I believe they took personal pride in their work and wanted to be sure I was happy with their service. I would definitely use them again.

They did a fantastic job. They were timely, all clean and gentlemanly, and took extremely good care not to hit any walls or scratch anything. They took pictures down from the wall so they would not knock them down, and then also put them back up when they were finished. I would absolutely recommend them.

Let's see: a good first day experience with Daniel and crew. An inefficient (and apparently inexperienced) crew the second day with out Daniel. Adding $2000 to the bill with really no explanation. No response for a month to phone calls and still no explanation or effort to understand why we were upset. An early phone call with a promise to look into the situation could have diffused most of this but by the time a month passed, there was no way to resolve a terrible job. Boxes were wasted, packing material was wasted (even wrapped their empty drink bottles), box instructions were not followed (e.g. and quot;do not stackand quot;, and quot;garageand quot; went to basement, and quot;basementand quot; to garage, and quot;kitchenand quot; to basement, etc.). The attached pictures tell the story. This was a horrible experience with an unresponsive, uncaring company. We have never had any clear communication or explanation of the charges or for that matter, any timely response to our requests.

Could not imagine a better experience

They were great overall. We only contacted them about 3 weeks before the move and they were very quick to respond to us. They came in at the highest bid, but agreed to match my lowest bid. The owner was present for the entire process. They packed up our 4 bedroom home, supplied all the materials. The owner drove the truck to Florida. They unloaded for us and everything was still in great condition. If we are to ever move again, I wish that we would be able to hire them to come and move us out of Florida.

Everything went great. I have recommend them to all my friends. They are very personable. They are family owned. They went above and beyond of what a typical moving company would do.

They were great. They did a thorough assessment of the offices, taking measurements and listing furniture, and gave us an estimate that was cheaper than one but more expensive than another. The cheapest estimate was from someone who didn't appear very professional. The move occurred on the scheduled date, went quickly and smoothly, and they were extra careful to not scratch the freshly painted walls. Very helpful all around. They even pleased our office manager Debbie, which is not an easy task!

We used this company to move us from southern Indiana to Fishers. Three men came to do the work and they did a great job for us. Not one thing was damaged and the men were very personable and nice to talk to. We have a console piano that had to be turned on end to place it where I wanted it, and I fully expected to hear a lot of grumbling. Did not happen! They just went about their business and made sure everything was in place and exactly as I wanted it. I hope we don't move again, however I would definitely use them again if the need arises.

Excellent experience. We move every 2 years, and Studley Moving is BY FAR the best moving experience we have ever had (and that includes corporate moves with Allied and United). They were professional, experienced, and a pleasure to work with (and they were really kind to my kids as well). They were prompt (they showed up at 8 am, ready to go), and worked hard all day to finish around 7 pm. Absolutely NOTHING was damaged (neither contents nor home). I highly recommend them!

I used Studley Moving on my recent move. I was very impressed with their professionalism and the care they took with handling valuable antiques and musical instruments. It is a locally owned business and the owner takes every step to insure the costumer's needs are met. My moving day went very smoothly due to Studley Moving's excellent service.

Excellent! It was not the cheapest but for the money well worth it.
