Great Scott Moving

Excellent experience. Great Scott showed up one day to pack and the next day to move. Both days, the crew was on time, professional and efficient. On both days, the guys worked hard and quickly. The packing technique was perfect - nothing broke (and we had a lot of breakables). Great Scott also came in under budget.

These guys rock. They showed up early, which worked to their and my advantage because of a double-booking on the loading dock. When they realized they had limited time on the loading dock, they flew into action and had the truck loaded in an hour & a half flat. On the other end, one of the building's elevators was broken, leaving only the freight elevator to service the entire building. So they were nice enough to go floor-to-floor picking up neighbors between trips from the loading dock. Bottom line, they were fast, friendly, efficient, and unflappable. I will use them again.

Two packers spent 6 hours on the first day wrapping and packing everything that was ready for them. They were extremely careful, efficient and professional with our belongings, especially the china and crystal. On the second day they arrived on time, packed up the truck, drove the 45 minutes to our new house, unpacked and carefully placed (and moved when asked to do so) the furniture where indicated, and were done in 6 hourse. We were amazed. The staff were hard working, polite, no-nonsense professionals.

The company was recommended by the first moving company I called (which didn't have availability on my move date). I got an estimate over the phone and was able to schedule for the day and time I needed; I moved out on the last day of the month which I think is a fairly popular date so I was relieved they were able to fit me in. They called me to confirm the day before. Sonny and Earl arrived on time and were extremely polite and professional. I expected some issues with the three flights of stairs, however there was absolutely no complaining regarding that issue. They got to work right away and moved everything very efficiently. I have very large furniture and about 20 boxes that they had packed up in about an hour and a half. They provided wardrobe boxes for free. They took apart and reassembled my platform bed as well. Nothing was broken and it was all handled with the utmost care. I had just had my new apartment painted and there were no marks on the wall.

The person at Great Scott movers was very helpful and courteous. I called on a rather short notice, and they were able to set up a time to move the piano that was convenient for both me and my friend within 4 days. The two men who came to move this (extremely heavy) piano were polite, courteous, and punctual. They were very careful with the piano, and very deft at moving it down a flight of stairs and into their truck. They took every precaution to protect it, and it made it to my friend's house with no scratches.

It was excellent! Although they arrived 30 minutes late, we weren't charged. It took approx 6 hours, which was what we had estimated. The crew of three didn't screw around or waste time; they worked very hard and there were very few problems. Hardly anything was damaged (inevitable in a move), too. We bought them some sandwiches and they ate/rested for only 15 minutes. This was top-notch service and contrasted heavily against the hell that another company put us through (that's another story!). Would use them again in a minute.

I had a problem with the bill. Called them, and when they got back to me the problem was solved. I'm 100% satisfied with their service.

Overall I was pleased with the job. The guys were professional, quick, hard working, and pleasant. There were challenges on the other end moving into a old house with narrow stairs. We actually had to bring the entertainment center, the mattress, and the box spring up over the 2nd floor deck into the master bedroom. Another difficult move was getting the dresser up the narrow staircase with only millimeters to spare. Overall I was pleased with their effort and their work.

It was a rainy day. Men worked efficiently and consistently to get the job done. Asked specific requests. Kept furniture dry despite rain. Disassembled and reassembled furniture as desired. Stacked furniture appropriately in storage facility so it could fit without paying for larger unit.

I had read some people's comments about the size of the truck, but mine was perfect. They were very efficient that day; it was very cold and they did a great job getting things out and in as fast as possible. The price was fair. The owner had given me the estimate before.

I booked extremely late (Wednesday 8/29 for Saturday 9/1 Labor Day weekend move) so the job was not estimated in advance. The movers were scheduled for 2:00 PM and called at 11:00 AM to tell me they were on the way (panic time). They arrived with three movers and the truck when the price I was quoted was for two movers. They did not charge for the additional person. I was only about 50% packed, but they packed everything else with no problem. Once I figured out I should just get out of the way everything was pretty straightforward. They didn't take any breaks other than biological. Everything was moved into the new place. I didn't think to label all the boxes they packed so organization at the new place was haphazard.

I call them and they come out; that's how I work with this company. I was moving a big piece of furniture from one house to another house, which was about an eight to ten mile distance. The movers set everything up. They protected my furniture so it would not have any damage done to it. They also placed my furniture just where I wanted it.

It went beautifully! They were very polite, considerate, and strong. They arrived on time and finished just 7.25 hours later. Originally we were going to have them come on two different days, two weeks apart so that we could finish the packing and then have them take it all at once. We ended up moving the remainder ourselves and saved ourselves half of the cost.

Great service, on time, quote was accurate, professional and courteous. They moved the furniture efficiently.

They arrived on time, were professional but relaxed. Had supplies and offered assistance. The move went well even though we went form a 3 story TH to a 4 story TH. They handled it all, even the skinny staircases.

They arrived right on time and were done faster than expected. The two men that moved our items were great and extremely fast.

Because I was moving within the same building, I did not need any packing or a truck. Although I called relatively close to the move date, Great Scott was able to fit me in by assigning a crew that was booked on another job the same day. They came on time, called in advance to reconfirm, and were very friendly and efficient. Because they charged in 15 minute increments, I was pleased that they made a real effort to load up the freight elevator each time, to cut down on the number of trips. Some other movers were assigned to use the same elevator, but the Great Scott crew was very patient and worked around that. They came in right on the estimate and did a very pleasant, careful job. I would definitely recommend them again. Scott, who took the order, was very efficient, but probably, just to put a new client at ease, should have offered to send an immediate written confirmation. When I emailed later asking for one, they responded promptly and fully.

We had a great experience! The person who did the estimate was very friendly. A crew of three moved us from a townhouse to a single family dwelling. The crew was polite and careful. The day before the move, one person helped us pack fragile glassware and dinnerware. All of them were very friendly. Also, there was no charge for the delivery of boxes. The move took the entire day but they were not rushed. We would definitely use them again.

They were very reliable. Extremely careful and professional with furniture and art. They were all around nice guys!!

Great Scott sent two guys who carefully moved the piano into the house and placed it as we requested. We've used Great Scott to move residences several times and have been pleased with their service, punctuality, efficiency and price. They moved the piano for far less than other estimates we received- about a quarter of the price of other estimates.

Fantastic. Not one item was broken;a first for me. The crew was two hours late but as a result the company doubled up the crew and my move was completed in 1 hour 45 minutes. (That's included loading at the old place and unloading at the new one). That more than made up for being late. The guys were extremely polite and cooperative. I was extremely tired and the apartment supers on both ends forgot my loading dock appointment. The guys worked with me on these obstacles and made the move seamless. Without a doubt would highly recommend.

They were great to deal with. I kept changing my moving date as circumstances changed, and they were very accommodating and patient. And they actually answered the phone or called back immediately whenever I tried to reach them with questions. The movers were courteous and did a careful job. I thought the price reasonable. I highly recommend this company.

Javon & Tyrone were very polite, worked hard and quickly. They were unfazed by stairs. Nothing was damaged.

Given previous hellish moves, I expected the worst, but Great Scott proved me wrong and it was painless. The competitively low priced bid was a winner when they agreed to move over the Memorial Day holiday. The estimator (part owner Scott Gillis) conveyed trust and professionalism, which was reflected in follow up calls with office staff and the moving crews (looked a bit ragged, but were terrific). They underestimated the truck size, but sent a second truck causing no delay. I quizzed each moving company about Manhattan move ins (parking, building issues, etc.) and GS was the only one to provide a reference which the others promised. Not one item was damaged and the packing crew took the time to talk about a few imperfect items prior to moving them. If anything, the packers used more padding and boxes than I expected.

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS TEMPERED BY THE UNDER ESTIMATE OF THE NEEDED TRUCK. THEY DID MAKE A GOOD TRIP. BUT THE FACT THAT A FEW ITEMS, WHICH WERE TO COME IN THE 2ND TRIP, DID NOT ARRIVE, WAS DISCONCERTING.
