Great Scott Moving

Description of Work: Professionalism with heart in a moving company? Not the norm based on our previous 9 long haul moves. Every person we encountered at Great Scott knew what was expected of them and did their utmost to accomplish it with care and speed and pride. We had to delay the move twice because of a family bereavement. No problems. Then when we were ready, they were ready. We then underestimated the packing associated with a decade of accumulation, throwing up our hands on the Sunday before our scheduled Thursday move. No problems. Henry sent 2 great guys on Wednesday who worked solid for 12 hours so we were ready to go the next day. And they didn't just shove our things in boxes - they packed respecting our input as to where things would be going at the new house and our designation of "cherished." When they discovered the storage unit items had mold issues, they segregated them. Then they allowed us to examine those boxes as they came down the truck ramp to identify which should be left outdoors to keep the problem isolated - we thank them so much for that. As they were finishing the unloading, we realized certain pieces of furniture probably would be better placed in other rooms, some on other levels. Based on my previous moving experiences I dreaded to ask. No worries. Everything was where we needed/wanted it to be before they left. During one of his telephone calls, Henry even made sure we'd asked for any placement adjustments. Out of all the items moved, I only found one item damaged - an everyday water glass. All the crystal, china, pottery, paintings, mirrors made it without incident. The move/pack price was great compared with the other quotes obtained from the usual sterile competitors. We like dealing with people, not robots. We didn't meet one robot working at Great Scott. That contributed mightily to the "no worries" we felt after our move. Our thanks to every great "Great Scott" employee we met and to Henry and Basil. This move was a wonderful surprise.

Description of Work: These guys hustle! From the moment they got off the truck, they moved. Keep in mind that we only had them move our larger items but nonetheless, we were extremely impressed with this company from the communication prior to the move, through the move itself. We highly recommend this company!

Description of Work: Moved us twice

Description of Work: We have used Great Scott several times, for two big moves and moving our daughter to an apartment. We think they are excellent.

Description of Work: Moved 2 BR apt-- not much furniture but a long carry and heavy boxes. Have used before and will again. Nothing broken, nice guys who hustled. Highly recommend.

Description of Work: Based on the information I gave them - they estimated a 6 hour move. Well, we had a h*** of a lot more stuff, so it was a 12 hour move. But they worked their butt off and earned their pay. | |The only downside - we had stuff clearly marked and sometimes they ended up in the wrong place. Like, stuff that was marked bedroom was put in the basement, or stuff marked kitchen ended up in the garage. But they worked their butts off.

Description of Work: The moved us to our new house

Description of Work: At short notice Great Scott moved my daughter out of her apartment in DC (her roommate was moving to London) and back home to Arlington. They had her stuff wrapped up in no time. Think the whole thing was done in less than the minimum time. They did also "wrap up" her things, including putting all her clothes in containers to move. The loveliest guys and were just amazed that what had taken us days to move in was moved out and very carefully, in such a short time buy these guys. Everything was in great condition, not a scratch and they were very diligent about where to put things on this end. We'll be using them again we hope when she moves out - they've just signed for another apartment.

Description of Work: Moved a 1BR/1BA condo to Silver Spring MD ~7miles away. Movers were professional and thorough. Took care of our items and loaded/unloaded quickly. THe company recommended and sent a 2 man crew with 1 truck. | |Job was a bit longer than the original estimate so it was a bit more. May have gone faster with 1 additional man. | |All-in-all.....very professional. Not the cheapest but have had many friends who have used them with good results.

Description of Work: Helped pack and moved my whole apartment to new home.

Description of Work: extensive moving of office

Description of Work: They moved a 4 bedroom house and a storage unit to another house and another storage unit. They were great in basically every way. I was with the guys for about 10 hours in both locations and they were helpful, polite, efficient, friendly, hard-working and awesome. We had used them before and I hadn't remembered just how great it was. I would recommend them for anyone!

Description of Work: OMG. This is a great company. The movers came right on time and went to work!! They knew how to move all of the furniture properly as well as the boxes. They were fast, courteous, worked as a team, and they reassembled my furniture! I highly recommend them.
