Since then, the company has remained in the Nystrom family and is operated by Jayne Nystrom and her daughter Emily.

I enjoyed this crew and company and would defiantly recommend them to others. They were prompt, fast and very courteous. We moved from a house into a smaller apartment with a piano and large furniture. I also had them move some items to the garage. They were more than kind about helping me.
Description of Work: Excellent movers! They were prompt and fast and worked so well together.

The moving company came to our condo unit in downtown Minneapolis and moved everything from our 10th floor unit to our new three-story house in St. Paul quickly, affordably, and without damaging or losing anything. Prior to the move, a representative from the company came and saw what needed to be done and gave us an estimate which was about 10% higher than the actual cost. We have never had a moving company come in under budget, which is especially amazing given that the estimate was lower than what we expected it to be in the first place. Since our move, I have recommended them several times to others.
Description of Work: Moved us from a 2-bedroom condo in a high-rise building downtown to a 3-story house.

Very smoothly. Punctual and friendly.
Description of Work: I moved from a house to a twin home. I packed myself but they were great movers. They stored my stuff for a couple of days and everything was fine. Very friendly and professional. I hired them to move some furniture from the house to the garage for an estate sale and they did a great job. When I moved into my new place, they put everything where it was labeled or asked where it should go. Very pleased. They even put a shelf back together in the garage. Would use them again.

As we have only used Nystrom to move I am not sure how moving companies typically charge. Nystrom charged $150 an hour for 3 movers. That seems pretty expensive but like I said, I am not sure how it compares. However, the entire job only took 3.75 hours and we also left a generous tip.They also brought us boxes to use and loaded up our clothes into wardrobe boxes (which were pretty beaten up, they should invest in some new ones).Hopefully we will not be moving again but if we do we'd call Nystrom again.
Description of Work: We have used Nystrom twice, once to move a 2 bedroom apartment into a 3 bedroom house, then to move from the three bedroom house to a four bedroom house (with double the square footage). Both times they showed up exactly on time and were finished much faster than we expected.They were very careful with all our belongings.

Everything went very well. We have no negatives. We would highly recommend calling Jayne to discuss your moving needs and concerns.
Description of Work: We moved from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie and hired Nystrom to move our furniture and large items as well as many boxes. The Nystrom crew did an excellent job to say the least. They hustled while taking especially good care of our possessions. Jayne was very helpful in answering our questions and clearing up any issues we had regarding moving. They supplied boxes and wrapping paper, as well as tape. A very classy operation. We are very pleased and we would recommend Nystrom to anyone making a move.

Movers were flexible. We changed the start time twice; no problem. Two men arrived on time. Ron and will were pleasant, polite, and very cooperative as we had items removed from 2 floors of one house, and a sofa from another house. They were careful with the items being moved, and of the woodwork, walls and lawn. I have used this company before for a much larger move, and I will use them again, in the next month or two.
Description of Work: Moved queen bed frame, 2 mattresses, 3 sofas, dresser, desk, and many boxes of books. Picked up at 2 locations.

Worth every penny. Brandon and his guys were as fast and efficient as a crew could be. Very polite as well. Original estimate was 6-8 hours, ended up being 10 hours. They took a break (1/2 hour or so) to get some food to eat for lunch, which I should have expected, but I'm not entirely sure that I should have been charged in full for that time. That said, it was a great move and I would highly recommend hiring this company to move you.
Description of Work: Moved 4 bedroom, 2400 square foot house.Was about 10 hours of work.

piano moving
  + -1 more
The woman on the phone was very nice and helpful. She gave me an estimate and set up a time. The people who showed up were the keystone cops of piano movers. They grunted and swore and complained about how heavy the paino was. Hello. It's a piano. That's why we pay people almost $200.00 an hour to move it. I would have forgiven the language and complaining if they had done a good job. The most unforgiveable sin was rolling my upright piano across my 115 year old oak floors without any cardboard or other protection. I now have a distinct arc embedded in my foyer. By the time I saw what they were doing, it was too late. Their comment was,"Don't worry, we're almost done here". When they arrived at the other house, they couldn't figure out how to get the piano into the living room. My son had to help them twice because they were losing control of it. In the end, after much arguing, they turned the piano on its side and moved it that way.
Description of Work: Move my upright piano from my house to my son's house half a mile away.

The crew was on time, very courteous and worked carefully so walls and floors were not damaged. The estimated cost was low (but from discussions with friends, I understand this happens with all companies). I would definitely recommend them to others and use them again myself.
Description of Work: The company moved me across the Twin Cities. Boxes were packed, but they packed electronics and some artwork. The move included an upright piano.

WE THINK NYSTROM IS A GREAT COMPANY! THE MANAGEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE AND THE MOVERS THEMSELVES DO A GREAT JOB WITH A WONDERFUL ATTITUDE OF HELPFULNESS AND FRIENDLINESS. WE HAVE ALREADY RECOMMENDED THEM TO OUR CHILDREN AND WILL CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND.
Description of Work: WE HIRED NYSTROM MOVING ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. ONE TIME FROM A SMALL HOUSE IN WESTERN WISCONSIN TO THE TWIN CITIES AND A SECOND TIME FROM ST. PAUL TO NORTH SUBURBS. THEY DID A GREAT JOB BOTH TIMES. THEY SENT TWO YOUNG MEN WHO WERE VERY CAPABLE, FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT. WE WERE SO PLEASED WITH THE FIRST MOVE THAT WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR THE SAME GUYS FOR THE SECOND MOVE. WE HAD ALSO USED NYSTROM THREE YEARS AGO TO DONATE SOME FURNITURE TO BRIDGING IN MPLS AND LIKED THE COMPANY SO MUCH THEN.

THE MOVING WAS QUICK, EFFICIENT AND DONE WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY FURNITURE. THREE PEOPLE WERE SENT AND THE MOVE TOOK ALMOST 5 HOURS. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY ANGIE'S LIST COUPON FOR $25 OFF. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO MY FRIENDS (AND I ALREADY HAVE.) THE ONLY CONCERN I HAD WAS WITH RETURN PHONE CALLS. IT WAS NECESSARY TO CALL BACK A FEW TIMES TO GET A HOLD OF SOMEONE TO ASK A QUESTION AFTER MY MOVE WAS SCHEDULED. HOWEVER, INITIALLY I TALKED TO JAYNE AND SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN SUGGESTING WHAT TIME I SHOULD SCHEDULE THE MOVE AND HOW MANY MOVERS I WOULD NEED.

THEIR WORKERS WERE EFFICIENT AND ON TIME. THEY WERE CAREFUL WITH OUR STUFF AND OFFERED US ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO SAFETY MOVE SEVERAL BREAKABLE ITEMS. WE GREATLY APPRECIATED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HOLD OUR BELONGINGS ON THEIR TRUCK BETWEEN OUR MOVE OUT AND OUR MOVE INTO OUR NEW HOME. THEIR WORKERS COMPLAINED A BIT ABOUT TAKING APART AND REASSEMBLING SOME OF OUR FURNITURE, AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE BEST TOOLS FOR THE JOB.

MY UNCERTAIN SITUATION - MEANING NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT SORT OF SERVICES I MAY NEED AND EXACTLY WHEN I MAY NEED THEM - HAD ME ON THE PHONE WITH JAYNE NYSTROM FOR QUITE AWHILE. SHE WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND ACTUALLY PROVIDED OPTIONS I HADN'T CONSIDERED. WHEN THE DAY CAME TO SCHEDULE THE TRUCK, I CALLED AT THE LAST MINUTE AND ASKED THEM TO COME THE NEXT DAY (A.M.) INSTEAD. JAYNE WAS NOT ONLY ACCOMMODATING, BUT ALSO VERY UNDERSTANDING AND IN THE END THE COST WAS VERY COMPETITIVE FOR THEIR TIME, AND I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM IN THE FUTURE FOR A FULL-HOUSE MOVE. ** PLEASE NOTE: I BELIEVE THE ''INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR'' STRUCTURE OF JAYNE'S COMPANY DIRECTLY IMPACTS THEIR SERVICE. EACH TRUCK DRIVER (FOREMAN) TAKES OWNERSHIP OF THE TRUCK, THE CLIENT'S POSSESSIONS, AND OF HIS/HER TIME, AND THAT WAY THERE IS NO ''PASSING THE BUCK'' WHEN UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS ARISE. THE TWO GUYS WHO ASSISTED MY APPLIANCE MOVE WERE EXTREMELY EFFICIENT, PROFESSIONAL AND MOTIVATED.
Description of Work: THEY CAME TO THE HOME I WAS LEAVING IN ST. PAUL HIGHLAND, PICKED-UP A SIDE-BY-SIDE REFRIGERATOR, OVEN, WASHER & DRYER AND DELIVERED THEM TO MY NEW HOME NEAR DOWNTOWN MPLS. THE APPLIANCES WERE TO BE STORED, NOT USED, SO THEY PLACED THEM IN THE BASEMENT IN A CORNER. THIS ENDED-UP HAPPENING NEAR THE RUSH HOUR TIME, TO NO FAULT OF THEIRS.
