Hired two movers and a truck for a move on Saturday. They called ahead and let me know that they would be arriving earlier than scheduled. Brandon, Dwayne and Gio arrived and quickly got to work. They didn't even charge me for the additional mover. They were courteous and friendly and did an outstanding job of loading and unloading the truck in a quick and efficient manner. The move was an absolute breeze and I would not hesitate to recommend these folks to others for their fast action and reasonable prices.

The move went very well, despite bad weather. The guys were very accommodating and attentive to details. They were also very conscientious of track dirt and mud into both homes.

Outstanding, customer oriented and courteous professionals. Great jobs (I've hired twice) and would hire again or positively recommend to others. Sometimes you encounter those working "on the clock" to stretch out a job to take longer than what would normally required to get it done. Not the case here--the movers I encountered with Black Belt got in and hustled to get the job done quickly and professionally.

Excellant. They moved us door to door. The guys were great, we felt very comfortable from the beginning. You hear a lot of horror stories out there. They kept in contact with us while in route and arrived here before we did. The price was lower than originally quoted based on actual number of boxes, etc.

They are cheap. They are very reasonable. It seems to be a very competitive market. It was $125 and hour for 3 movers. They were quick, right on it, listened to instructions, didn't take a lot of breaks, and they kept moving.

Would I hire these guys again? Heck no! I ended up paying an additional $450 for a job I was expecting to pay $900 at best for! The horror stories of movers being shady are exactly what I was trying to avoid and that is exactly what I ended up with. I have not yet seen my furniture because my house is not done and I fear for what I find when I finally do see it!
Description of Work: I had my house full packed, everything boxed, bed frames broken apart, and boxes available for my TV's and and a few large pictures that I did not have a chance to wrap. I was quoted a low and high price based on the estimate given by an Estimator. (was actually the Team Lead moving guy) There were 3 movers and it took the entire day to get me moved from my house to a Storage Unit 5 miles away. There were 5 metal shelvinmg units I hadn't had the opportunity to break down and when I asked if they were going to break them down, they said no, there is plenty of room. As they got the truck started filling up, the Team Lead came to me and expressed they might not get everything in one truck load and would have to make a 2nd trip which meant more money and time, considered a 2nd move). I was not a happy camper...moving is stressful enough. I had reserved a 10x30 storage unit as I advised by the Estimator. When I questioned how he (The estimator-also the Team Leader) could make such a big error and called his boss, they got back in the truck and re-arranged items opening up much more space. In the end, everything fit. Once we got to the Storage Unit ) after they took a good 45 minute lunch on my dime) I discovered they had not put a Large picture and Mirror I had intentionally set a box for each right beside each item and they did not take 2 minutes to put them in the boxes and seal them! (I was not standing right there when they got moved - but were the last things emptied from the truck and to say I was not happy is an understatement.) Once the truck was finally [packed, then they were concerned about the Storage Unit not being big enough. Again...an issue! I had specifically reserved a unit based on the size that was recommended by the Estimator. Same story again, with not packing the Storage Unit tight enough, and again, I was paying for them to redo their mistake to make more room. Ultimately, I paid for their error twice!

HORRIBLE!!!!!! Truck was late. Packers were slow and talked to each other and on their phones more than packing. Their was a RAT or CAT in their truck which marked all our boxes. They will not respond to my complaints. I did a mountain of laundry and my sweaters need dry cleaning. The only call I receive back told me the 30 days were over. I began complaining within several days and continued for over a month. NO RESPONSE AT ALL> DO NOT USE THEM

The move crew consisted of 6 and they used two large trucks. The move started shortly before 8:00 a.m. ran until 10:30 that night. We had packed all items and had wrapped some furniture in plastic wrap prior to their arrival. The crew worked hard and took minimal breaks. All were pleasant and took direction well. Minimal damage to about 6 items. Would recommend them.

They arrived early in the morning and worked like a well choreographed team. By mid-afternoon I was in my new home with every box delivered to its assigned room. No breakage, no problems, just cheerful workers. You couldn't ask for a better moving experience. I was too busy "getting settled" a year ago to write this review but they were so good they deserve the credit and I have not forgotten.

Pompeyo, Jessiie and Cumbia did an excellent job, they worked non stop, they were able to move large pieces of furniture through narrow doorways and did not damage anything. They wrapped every piece of furniture carefully. Very helpful and polite. I will definitely use them again.

The actual move was done on time, and the crew worked fast and quickly. However, a leather couch was torn on the front of the arm and they choose to pay the $.60 per pound rather than fix it. Never was able to talk to anyone in charge, Manager, and was told that the couch weighed 150 pounds so our total reimbursement was $90.00. The leather couch was a three seat with recliners on both ends and according to some moving sites on line the average weight would be 250 obs. Since I was never able to talk to the decision maker I have no idea where the number of 150 lbs. came from. We spoke to a furniture repair shop and they quoted at least $200.00 to repair. Needless to say, we will not be recommending or using their services again.

We thought we had a handle on this moving thing until these guys showed up. They were amazing. Dan called from the road to check in and make sure we were ready. When they arrived (right on time!), I was introduced to each guy: Dan, Tuffy, Sage and Carlos. We weren't as ready as I'd thought we were; when you look around through somebody else's eyes, you see what you were missing, like unfinished boxes, a forgotten cabinet, etc. Every one of these guys was friendly, helpful, and considerate the entire time. At no time did we feel as though they were getting impatient, tired or frustrated when we had to correct ourselves or discovered yet another thing we hadn't gotten ready - they can't move lamps with lightbulbs in them! There was one accident: our headboard came apart unexpectedly, part of it fell and the mirror broke. The young man took full responsibility for it, took pictures of the damage and the manufacturer's tag and assured me that it will be repaired or compensated even if it can't be repaired. He was genuinely irritated with himself for his perceived carelessness and genuinely seemed determined to make this right. They had us packed up inside the estimated time limit and on the road. Here's where the story gets slippery: Our new property is out in the country, the house is a goodly distance from the road and the mud was unbelievable. When we got there and saw how bad it was, we seriously thought they'd insist on moving everything into the barn, which is right off the road and leave us there. We wouldn't have blamed them if they had, but not only did they not do that, they managed to stay pleasant, professional and friendly through what has to have been a nightmare day for them all. They laid down all their moving rugs throughout the house, and apologized sincerely every time they stepped off onto the carpet or got mud on something. They all fell down at least once because they were all running or walking as quickly as possible, mindful of the fact that Black Belt charges by the hour. By the time it was over, they were all covered in mud, cold and exhausted. But even at that, they wanted to know if there was anything else they could do for us before they left and seemed to really mean it. All of them were still as nice as they'd been when they arrived at our starting point 8 hours previously. One of the many things I really liked about them was their obvious concern and respect for each other and us. All day, they were quick to check on each other's and our well-being and to compliment for a "good lift" or "good carry". Black Belt is well worth the expense of having somebody else move your belongings VS saving the money and doing it yourself. We have never had professional movers before, so I can't compare them to anyone else, but I can say we couldn't recommend them any more highly.

The three gentlemen that helped he move were awesome - Brian Durant, Gene Hauf, and Richard Bruce. We would definitely recommend Black Belt Movers and will definitely use them again if needed in the future. They were very careful with all of our furniture and even helped us put our new shuffleboard table together. We really appreciated them going the extra mile.

They called early in the day, as they said they would, went straight to work and were organized, professional and courteous. Brady, Nate and Jacob did a fabulous job of wrapping our furniture and disassembling and reassembling pieces with great care. The move was complicated by a layer of ice and snow, which they skillfully managed to make a non-factor. They worked efficiently and the move was accomplished on the lower end of the bid. I would hire them again, but I am never moving. I would strongly recommend them, however to anyone who needs to move in the future.

This is actually the second time Joel assisted in moving this rug. The previous move was 12/12/15. A little embarrassing, but they didn't rub it in. Both times went well, and the two men, no truck deal is a good value in the metro.

Alex was great. He was super professional and I had little worry when he was involved. He played tetris in the truck and got all of our things loaded in what looked like a very safe and secure way. The move out went at a good pace, I think it would have been slightly faster if their third was not in training. Had no complaints with the move out. Moving into the new address, and this is just an opinion, kind of slow. Based on what we had, we assumed maybe 3 hours to move the items, but ended up being right at 5 hours. I'm not mad about it, they were training, but I felt like it could have been faster. The new guy must have been getting tired, while he had no issues that I noticed on the move out, on the move in there were several times where he would lose control of a piece and we ended up with several wall dings and scratches. The majority of it will be handled by a magic eraser, but there was one major grind on our laundry room door. It looks like they just dragged one of the washer/dryers down the door and didn't tell me about it. I didn't notice it till the next morning when I went in to hook up the machines. I'm not mad about it, a little sanding and putty and paint and it'll be fine, but they did not notify me that it had happened. Overall, the experience was a good one. I was happy to have spared my back and legs for the day, and 99% of our furniture made it with no issue. We lost a book shelf, but it wasn't a good one (cheap mdf). I would most definitely hire again, and would likely request Alex if that was an option. The other member of his team (i can't remember the other two guys names) was also great, I did not see him have any issues.

The two gentleman arrived on time, were friendly, never complained about lifting a upright freezer up the stairs. Wrapped the dressers so we did not have to empty them. They worked quickly and only stopped when I offered they a drink. We only used them to move the heavy items like couches, freezers, dressers, etc.

The crew was on time, quick, and didn't complain about our apartment being on the third floor. At the house, they were very careful to not scratch the hardwood floors or the door frames. They even moved my piano without hurting it! They were fantastic communicators and very fast. The price was very reasonable!

Easy to schedule by phone. They also called the day before to confirm the appointment. Outstanding communication-- they called before the scheduled appointment time to be sure I was ready for them. Excellent flexibility-- they offered to do a different job first if I was not immediately available. The crew was friendly, fast, and efficient, even with tasks like taking apart the bed and disconnecting the dryer. They were so quick the truck arrived right behind me at the storage facility, even though I had a head start and there was extensive construction. Finally, they did an excellent job of efficiently utilizing the space available in the storage unit-- which is another job all its own! I really can't say enough good things about Black Belt movers. I hope the same crew is available to move the furniture into my new house. After that I don't want to move again, but if I do, I will definitely hire them again!
