Bottom line: Don't trust Adam's lowball quote. Adam is basically a charlatan who's business is to rip people off.
Description of Work: This business is a scam, don't use them for your move. See below for the full review. Adam came to our townhouse and provided a detailed written quote. He was among three other companies we got quotes from and came in at the lowest price--$2500. He seemed pleasant enough explaining that everything would take 4 men about 8 hours to move. Moving day comes and his men were about 2 hours late. When they arrived, they had one of those rental Penske trucks from Home Depot. This should have been a red flag that Big Brothers was not actually a legitimate moving company. Only one guy spoke English and he had to leave early due to "abdominal pains". The rest of them moved at glacial pace to move our stuff. The next day, when they finally finished, 16 hours later, the new bill was over $6000 because of the added moving time. If we didn't pay, they would hold our stuff hostage.

Adam came to our house for the original estimate. His pricing seemed reasonable and he was knowledgeable and helpful. He even came back the day before our move to put protective covering on the floors. On the date of our move, they got a late start understandably because the foreman had had an unfortunate car accident the night before. When they arrived, they were careful to wrap everything using plastic wrap and blankets. The foreman in particular was very helpful throughout the move and even helped remove a window so that we could fit a large sofa into our basement. It was a life-saver, although I'd say his carpentry skills were pretty mediocre, even for a mover. My only real complaint is that they dragged a lot of furniture on the ground and did bang a few things up. (I"ve moved a lot in the last four years and know that moving is rarely flawless). Two items, a sofa and bookcase, that had been carefully wrapped came through with scuffing and dirt. As compensation, the company did offer to cover the cost of the upholstery cleaning for the sofa.
Description of Work: They moved furniture and boxes from one three bedroom townhouse to another nearby. They sent a crew of 4 with a 26' truck.
