Beautifuly. The movers were punctual, pleasant, very professional. It was raining/snowing/sleeting during our move but that did not stop them or slow them down. They took considerable care with everything, so nothing got wet, broken, or lost. When they moved stuff into the house, they were very careful to put boxes and furniture exactly where we told them to. Best move ever.
Description of Work: We moved from a two-bedroom apartment back to our renovated house. There was also a lot of furniture and boxes in storage.

Very timely and efficient with our moving and storage needs as we had to empty our house for a renovation. A team of 3-4 movers came out and was able to pack everything in to trucks within a day. We didn't have to do any packing on our end as the movers took care of it all. They were responsible for storing everything and were very easy to work with to get everything out of storage. I had to change delivery dates on them a few times and there was never an issue.

I had an excellent experience with Metropolitan Moving and Storage, and I plan to use the company again. I contacted Metropolitan Moving because I was looking for a company that offered short term storage facilities in addition to moving services. In the end, I did not need the onsite storage, but I decided to hire Metropolitan, after interviewing 3 other companies, because of the unparalleled customer service I experienced at every stage of the move. From the initial onsite estimate, to move planning, to the crew that handled the move, every person that I encountered was professional, patient, responsive and responsible. During the onsite estimate, Eddie walked me through Metropolitan’s pricing strategy, recommended a 4-person crew for the house and explained that his estimate likely would be higher than the actual move cost. I had a number of follow up questions after comparing estimates and was helped by the marketing director and other employees, who went out of their way to answer my questions and make sure that I felt comfortable with the process. On the day of the move, Leo and the crew were amazing. The arrived on time and surveyed the house. My scheduled furniture pickup from a charity had fallen through the day before, and Leo helped me identify which items in my donation pile would be accepted by Goodwill or Salvation Army. He also advised me to get a larger storage unit and kept the process moving efficiently - even after I added an unscheduled stop to the move. Each member of the crew was professional and polite. They helped me save money by bringing over used boxes for last-minute packing, and Leo advised me to return a TV box that I had purchased, noting that it was too large and likely would not protect the screen. The move came in almost $200 under the estimate, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Metropolitan took great care of my family, and I give them my highest recommendation.

It was great moving out but moving in though was a little more hairy. The boxes were delivered to the wrong room, the table legs were attached to the wrong table , I had to hire some guy to come and move things around because they were too heavy, so that part of it was not very good.

Thank you for your business and your feedback. I am terribly sorry that we came up short with your move. If you let us know about the issues right after the delivery, I would have happily sent a team out to properly arrange the boxes and re-assemble the table legs. I feel badly that we left you with extra work to do. I'm glad at least we came in well under-budget for you, and hope you'll consider us for your next move as we will work diligently to address our shortcomings.

Extremely well. The movers arrived on time. They worked extremely hard and loaded their truck up quickly and efficiently. There was no damage to anything they moved, nor was there any damage to the homes that they relocated to and from. The were friendly and accommodating, placing everything where we requested. The entire job was completed by early afternoon the same day. A very positive experience and I highly recommend them to others.

The services were excellent. These are the best movers we have ever worked with - the estimates were done clearly and quickly. We had to change the move in date and they were very flexible. The movers were courteous, friendly and kind. They were extremely efficient. We wish they had done all of our moves! They were also quite cost effective with the final total actually coming in under their estimate. Overall, a really positive experience across the board.

EXCELLENT in all phases. From initial estimate of move and costs, most realistic estimate of what had to be done, what type of trucks and crews were necessary and what was expected. Both crews, two moves, were professional, helpful and made great recommendations. Both crews were very efficient and worked very hard to meet our needs and schedules

Exceptional service. The movers were on time, polite, efficient and worked carefully but quickly. This is our second time (in a 14 month period) using this company and both moves have been seamless. I have 3 kids under 3 and a husband who works long hours and Metropolitan Moving took the stress and worry out of the experience and all at an affordable price. I have nothing but positive things to say about my move. I have recommended this company to family and friends and will continue to do so.

From start to finish Metropolitan Moving & Storage was very professional during our hectic move. I liked how they came out right away to give us a quote and when we weren't sure of our move date and they worked with us on coordinating their team in order to make sure we were covered. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family and would certainly use them again. Thanks for the great job!

From start to finish, this was the best move we ever had. Eddie came out and gave us a reasonable estimate. Each time I had a question, I called and got friendly, professional service. They dropped off boxes, tape, wrapping paper at my request, at no additional charge. On moving day, Stanley and his crew (Michael, Pedro, Christian and one other guy) showed up on time, and got immediately to work, packing pictures, lamps and other loose items. We had already packed everything else. We had a large house and the crew of five finished in about six hours. The same crew arrived at our North Carolina house the next morning - early! It took Stanley and his crew about five hours to unload, put together beds and dressers with mirrors. At every point, they were friendly, professional, and diligent. And best of all, as we unpacked we discovered that not one single thing was broken or damaged in any way! We highly recommend Metropolitan Moving and Storage for any east coast move, whether local or long-distance! The final price came in at about $300 over the original estimate, because of extra packing time for some large items we couldn't handle ourselves. All in all, a stellar experience at a reasonable price!

Metropolitan staff were very proficient and courteous during both of my moves. Larry came out to my home and took an inventory of my items to give me an estimate (which he provided the same day via email). The movers provided during both of my moves worked efficiently and took the time to wrap my belongings that I was placing in storage until the move to my new place. They arrived ahead of time for both moves which was awesome. The movers were polite, courteous, and punctual. Moving is stressful enough, but it's so much better when you have a moving company that puts the customer first and takes care of your needs.

The three men arrived early and worked quickly, carefully wrapping anything fragile, such as several pieces of glass furniture, and moving difficult items including a particularly heavy couch from the basement and a piano. We also had many boxes. These men were extremely friendly, careful and efficient. The house to which the items were moved had a steep outdoor staircase but they were able to move everything that needed to go on the second floor, including the piano and fragile furniture, without any problems. Even though it was New Years Eve, they turned around and drove to our daughter's house in Maryland to deliver the piano and bed that had been in the Pennsylvania house. We were truly amazed at how well the move went!!!!

Metropolitan Moving was fantastic. Their estimator came out a few weeks early, surveyed all of our belongings and furniture before we began packing. He gave us a quote of $1700-2000 for four men and two 26' moving trucks. When we began packing, I called over and they dropped off forty variously sized boxes and tape that were included in the cost. We packed up everything ourselves except for both flat screen televisions, which they did a great job of wrapping and securing when the time came. On the day of the move they arrived right on time, laid out walk mats on the floors and carpet, and got to work. Their guys hustled and made light work of what I thought was a mountain of boxes and furniture. At the new house they brought things in and we just told them which room and everything went very smooth. They set up both beds in the frames, unwrapped and set both televisions on their stands. Every piece of furniture was shrink wrapped before moving and unwrapped once it was in its final place. They were very careful with the walls, doors, and railings. Not a single thing was broken, not a single wall was scratched. Best of all they came in under budget. Quoted as $1700-2000, actual total was $1329. My wife and I hope that our first new house is our forever home, but if it's not I'll call these guys back to do the job.
