An outstanding experience all the way around. They showed up on time and got right to work. They examined the piano to see if it could safely be moved because of its age, and they discussed the risks involved and were very open and honest about it. I decided to go ahead and have them move it. They took such extreme care with my piano, strapped it extra securely and made sure that it was secure, and they treated it with great care, just as if it were their own family heirloom. They were respectful, courteous, and professional. I am glad I entrusted my piano to them. I highly recommend these guys!!
Description of Work: Moved my great-great grandmother's piano, which is a family heirloom

Worst customer service I've ever experienced in any environment. I highly recommend looking elsewhere. If he treats clients in this manner, do you think he'd treat your belongings any better?
Description of Work: I called to inquire about the services offered, the owner answered and was the most rude and unprofessional person I've ever spoken to. I needed assistance unloading a moving truck to which he said "I don't deal with that kind of s**t." He then hung up on me. I called back to ask if he's the owner (he is) and if that's how he treats potential customers to which he replied "I just ****ing tell it how it is."

Description of Work: Never returned my call. I called and didn't get a person - left a message on an answering machine. Called again and got the answering machine. Third time, I gave up. Never returned phone call. That's a shame.

Description of Work: I needed a gun safe moved from one room to another. It weighs about 700 pounds. I called and asked if they would do it. They said yes and they could do it tomorrow. I thought the price was fair and they did a good job.

I called on a Wednesday and Markham was able to do the work the following Saturday morning. They were right on time and got the work done in about a tenth the time it would have taken us to do the same thing. They were conscientious throughout the process, making absolutely sure the piano wouldn't hit the roof of the trailer or the awning as they moved it in to the house. Once inside, they were quick about setting up the piano and had clearly done it many times. They had all the right tools and knew just how to set it up.
Description of Work: Moved a baby grand piano from a trailer in the driveway up four steps into the house. Also set up the piano inside, as it was on a pallet with the legs removed.

The crew showed up on time and were extremely professional and very respectful of our belongings. I was almost eight months pregnant at the time and there were a number of things that I had not quite gotten packed up. The crew was very patient and helpful. As I sit here 20 years later writing this review I realize that the fact that I do not remember very many details is a wonderful testament to the quality of their service. Sad as it sounds, the truth is difficult and stressful events that go well are only remembered as a pleasant blur while stressful events that are wrought with problems are remembered like a feature film with every awful detail burned on your memory.
Description of Work: Markham moving moved my family form a large four bedroom Two Story Home to a much more compact four bedroom Cape Cod.

The movers were scheduled to come pick up the piano at my home. They arrived on time. I expressed concern regarding the finish of the piano because the last time the piano was moved the veneer was chipped. The next thing I know the movers are bringing everything back into the house, the mover in charge cursed me in front of my 2 year old son, mother, and husband, and walked off the job without explanation. I was left with a piano to move with no one to move it and I was about to move out of the state across the country in just a few days.
Description of Work: The company was hired to move an upright studio piano from Binghamton to Oneonta.

Response from MARKHAM MOVING & STORAGE
When the movers showed up to move the piano the customer was telling the crew how to do their job, when they explained to her that they had over 100 years of moving piano's between the 3 of them she still was being argumentive and uncooperative. The movers then decided that she was not going to let them do it the way they are professionally trained so they decided not do the job.. She then called numerous times for them to come back because we came highly recommended as the best and only piano movers.

We had an estimate of $450 based on a description of the apartment contents given over the phone. The guys showed up on time, and even though there was more stuff than they had counted on, they fitted it into their truck, moved it all, unloaded it, in just 2.5 hours. They held the esimated price for us. I felt like the cost was a little high for the amount of time spent, but there were 3 of them and they had a truck, so i guess this is just the cost of moving. They were all friendly, and since they were willing to give an estimate over the phone, and could schedule with little notice, iI would recommend them, and use them again myself.
Description of Work: We had contents of a 2 bedroom apartment moved about a mile to another apartment. An estimate was provided over the phone before hand based on a description of contents. They scheduled within a few days notice. The actual move took 2.5 hours.

They arrived on time, they had to remove a door to get some of the items out, which they did and then put it back on. They were very nice and helpful and went above and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. Great job.
