Excellent! Doug & Mike Handshoe and their crew were great. On time, careful and costs came in under estimate. These guys really take pride in their work. We would stongly recommend them to anyone moving.

I thought that Doug (business owner) was always professional. Prior to the move, he visited my home to give an estimate cost for the move. A day prior to the move date, I received a phone call confirming the timing of the move. On the day itself, Doug gave me a call prior to his guys arriving at my home. Despite charging an hourly rate, I was given an extra person (total of 4) to help with the move. Doug's son, Mike, was very pleasant and offered suggestions to help the move less stressful. After the move, I received a phone call from Doug asking how the move went. Overall, my experience with A1 movers was great. Should I find myself moving again, they would be on the top of my list to call. Highly recommended.

One of the best moves we have had. We have had several moves (across town and across country).over the last 20 years. They arrived on time. It was raining so they put down runners so not to track in mud (both places). They quickly loaded our items with no damage to our items or homes. They gave a fair price and stayed to it. The owner called the next day to follow up with me to see if I had any concerns or problems. This was a first! I would highly recommend them. They are one of the best moving companies we have dealt with over the years.

We could not have chosen a better moving company than A-1! The employees were prompt, kind, very considerate, and extremely hard-working. They were so accommodating - I had only scheduled one day only to realize that we really needed more help, and they were able to come back the next day to finish the job. There was not one scratch on any of our possessions, nor on the walls or doors of either house. They were even conscientious about being quiet during the baby's nap, which I very much appreciated. Terrific job!!! Thank you, Doug and crew!

The move went well; it took longer than expected, and they even added a fourth mover without charging us more, so that they could get it done on time.

Doug, his sons, and all of the movers were excellent. The quote was spot on, they were quick and nice as can be. They even took some furniture to one of their contacts to have it repaired(I broke it not them) at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solid group of movers.

They did a great job. They were easy to work with. Everything was packed and unpacked without any issues.

Doug and his team were very professional and showed up on time and packed the truck in record time. He brought extra people to load so the day would not be as long. All furniture was wrapped and secured before it was loaded on the truck. The team that unloaded at the new house worked very well together and unpacked the truck and set up furniture very effieciently. They took the time at the beginning to put materials down to protect the pine floors which had just been finished less than a week before. All furniture was carried in and nothing touched the floors until it was in place. There was not a scratch on the pine floors after the move. I was very pleased with the move and the experience with Doug and his team. I will use them again.

Great job...On time and very fast. I will use them again.

From the begining Doug with A-1 movers was very accomodating to my changing schedule and throughout the entire experience the customer service was amazing! The guys who did my move were quick and efficient but also very careful- they did a great job and were extremely polite, kind, and helpful. I thought it was a great value and would definitely call A-1 movers again- I have absolutely nothing even slightly negative to say about the experience- everything was great!

A wonderful company! I recently purchased a home and unfortunately, most of the service providers have shown up late or not at all, underestimated their price and then had to come back to redo things. With A-1 moving, I finally had a positive experience. The owner responds best to phone calls and is very friendly and professional. I had to postpone my move by one week due to ice/snow and he was wonderful about it. 3 men came with their truck at 10am as scheduled. They walked through the condo with me to go over exactly what was being moved. All furniture and glass was individually wrapped in blankets/padding. They obviously know what they are doing and packed the truck where nothing was broken. What impressed me the most was the pace at which they worked, since they charge by the hour. Other companies had estimated my move taking 3-4 hrs and they completed it in 2 hrs 15 minutes. I also used the coupon on Angie's list for 10% off. They made sure all the boxes and furniture were put in the correct place. After the move was completed, we walked through the new house to make sure everything was where I wanted and if I had any questions. Overall, a very good experience that gave me hope in the service industry again after my recent bad experiences. I highly recommend using A-1 Moving and have nothing negative to say at all.

I checked Angie's List for possible movers before I decided whom to contact. Of the two closest to my house, A-1 Moving had by far the best customer reviews and professional licenses. I emailed and then called A-1 two days before I needed help moving and asked whether they would be working on Christmas Eve. The owner, Mr. Hardshoe, said he would send two movers the morning I needed them, Dec. 24. He explained his pricing system--2 hours minimum, $25/hour/mover, no charge for distance to/from his place of business. Since the move would be done on the morning of Christmas Eve, we agreed that I would call him as soon as we picked up the moving van and he would send his two sons immediately. I did that; and we set a time of 10:30 a.m. for them to be at my house. They came a few minutes early and completed the moving in a little under an hour. They were on time, courteous, very careful with all furniture and boxes, and very good at packing the moving van, which had to be packed carefully for a trip to Tennessee on icy roads. A note: The web site and email information on Angie's List goes to a national service that contacts local franchises. A-1 did not answer my email, so I called. The owner prefers telephone calls to email. This company is well worth a live-voice phone call. I was satisfied with every aspect of their service, from my initial conversation with the owner to the courtesy, efficiency, and careful handling of my furniture and household goods by his two sons. The owner gave me a price and stuck to it, no questions asked, no discussion, no hidden costs. His sons arrived exactly when he said they would, they did a very fine job of helping with any moving I needed, and they completed the job in half the time they had to do it. I would recommend this company highly, without reservation, to anyone needing a mover.

What a wonderful company. From the beginning of the process (i.e. setting appoinment for estimate) to the end (i.e. asking us if everything was in the right place, collecting payment) these guys were nothing but a pleasure and ease to work with on a move. They accomadated us by rescheulding since our home was not ready to be moved into, scheduled for a Sunday move. They were on time, 8:58am for the 9;00am appointment. Doug worked quickly to assign tasks to his (5) men. The men were extreamly courteous, handled our possessions with care, and mild manner. If they did not know the answer, they asked us. Once we arrived at the house to unload, they worked quickly to get things in place. Matter of fact, they placed felt on the bottom of our furniture for us in an effort to not damage our floors. Such a great experience for us. We would use them again and highly recommend Doug and his crew for moving. Very professional, courteous, hard-working group of men.

A1 Moving moved me multiple times and a couple of times with very short notice from me..everything went great and I could not have asked for anything better..they really took great care of all of my stuff every time. And the pricing cant be beat. I would tell anyone to use their services if they want a top quality job done and someone that really takes care of their customers property.

Extremely pleased with service. All employees worked consistently without taking lunch breaks etc.. Took great pains not to damage furniture or house. Excellent company to work with, highly recommend!!

Their price per hour was less than a competitor's, but time was estimated to be 6 hours more than the competitor's estimate. So I ended up going with the competitor. I wish I had not, because the other company went 3 hours over their estimate and I wasn't terribly pleased with their service. A1 had a lot of good recommendations on Angie's List; the competitor had good recommendations, but just much less of a history (I think only 1 or 2 comments). If I had to do it again I would choose A1 instead.

The truck and crew arrived about 10 minutes before the stated hour, surveyed the items to be moved and began work. And they worked! The fee was by the hour and they earned every penny. Each piece of furniture or other item was appropriately wrapped in padding or clear moving wrap. The items were carefully put into the truck and lashed down so nothing would shift in transit. The house out of which were were moving is a split-level on a hill, but everything was moved out without fuss. When we arrived in Winston-Salem, everything was put into the house precisely where I asked. All in all, a very professional, efficient and effective job done with courtesy within the stated estimate.

We had such an excellent experience with A-1 Moving. They delivered boxes to our house with no delivery charged. I couldn't believe how quickly and carefully they moved everything. The bill ended up being HALF of what I'd budgeted for based on previous moves. They will absolutely be doing my next move. Don't look anywhere else. These guys are the best.

We rented a U-Haul truck and hired a worker to help us move all our big items in one day. A-1 brought two highly experienced movers with a lot of moving gear. They showed up exactly at the agreed time, surveyed the house, and we discussed how to organize the move; that is, what items had priority, how much time/money they thought it would take, etc. We didn't want them to move everything, but rather the bigger things that we couldn't handle ourselves. They were extremely professional. They accomodated all our requests and worked intensely and efficiently for 4 hours, and were very careful with our furniture. We didn't have the budget to have a moving company take care of all our stuff, but what we spent on A-1 was worth every penny.

When our nest emptied we decided to downsize and move closer to our jobs. The house we had lived in for 15 years sold in a matter of days and we found ourselves needing to move much more quickly than we had anticipated. Fortunately we were able to get an apartment in the gated community of our dreams. We had no experience with local movers and asked the staff at the apartment complex if they could recommended one. They gave us a brochure on A-1 Moving. A-1 came out the same day I called and gave us an estimate on the move. They were wonderful to explain every thing to us. As they were going through to make their estimate they saw a pack of packing boxes in our utility building that we had bought from a discout store and they said they would be happy to use those first to save us a little money. We were also still in the process of sorting stuff to get rid of and they said if we wanted them to, they could haul off items to be donated, recycled, or discarded. We explained that we both had health issues and would not be able to help much but they assured us we would not need to do anything other than answer questions they might have about what was moving to the apartment or being donated or discarded. They were true to their word on EVERYTHING, including their estimate. They arrived when they said they would. They worked hard and efficiently. They were careful and respectful. They put down paper runners to protect the carpet. They even brought donuts and coffee the day we moved into the apartment; it was kind of like a party. They took everything in, unpacked it, and worked with our decorator to get everything in its place. They put the beds back together, placed the rugs, the furniture, lamps, accents, dishes in the cabinets, etc. When they finished, we had a fully functioning livable home but, alas, we had more stuff than would fit in the smaller space. However, we had anticipated this and had rented an onsite garage for the overflow. Over the next several months we continued to sort and in July all that was left in the garage were things we wanted to get rid of. Again, we called A-1 and they came and hauled off everything in the garage. They have helped us so much. And we do so very much appreciate their kindness and professionalism. I carry their business card around with me where ever I go just so I can give it to someone if anyone indicates to me that they plan to move.

They were very professional and took care to protect the items they were moving. They did the work when they said they would. Everyone working for them was trustworthy and took pride in their work. I would recommend them for any type moving job.

I have no complaints, they did an excellent job. I had no scrathches or tears on anything and my things were packed and secured safely so nothing got broken. Prices are very reasonable.
