They estimated the job to be 2 days at approximately 5400. This price included a piano, pool table, dining room set with 8 chairs and sideboard which ultimately did not need to be moved as my buyer decided to buy them. More importantly, I had a large granite etching on the wall that they assured me would be no problem to move. The move took 4 days, not 2, and was &3000 over the estimate. We got them to take $1000 less but that went towards moving the granite. Even though they said they could move it, they declined at the last minute and I had to find an art mover for 1100. Additionally, as I unpack I find more breakage and damage. The men on the job were nice and worked hard. I tipped generously and bought lunch every day However, I would never use them again or recommend them.

What a great moving company. As professional as it gets. To start with the internal staff was unbelievable. I spoke with a few people along the way, however, Israel stands out. Very understanding, always approachable, never felt like I was calling too much. Most important, they were always up front and honest. Next, the moving team was unbelievable On time, probably a few miinutes early, They were so careful, never felt rushed, In fact, when they were finished and it took them hours on a hot day, they helped me pack my car I've never written an endorsement, thought others shopping for a moving company should hear this. They really cared. THANKS GUYS for making my life so much easier. One less thing to worry about.

They gave us an estimate before coming to do the work, which we were happy with. When they came to do the work, the estimate was doubled. We resented the fact that the owner inferred that we were one of those people that had added things to our original estimate. In fact, it was the opposite. We had given away and/or removed several large items from the list that we thought would lower the original estimate. He worked with us to lower the price, but it was still quite a bit above the original estimate. The owner that gave the original estimate has been in the business for about 17 years. We felt manipulated in that he possibly gave us the low estimate to help him get the job. The actual workers that came to do the moving were great. I have no complaints about their work but I would not recommend them due to the error in the pricing estimate.
Description of Work: We hired them to assist us with moving all of our belongings into storage.

Description of Work: I am truly the most detailed critic but these guys were the ABSOLUTE BEST! Firstly, they were mature men and not kids or thugs. Second, from beginning to end, there was nothing but professionalism, care, safety and quickness. They completed my move in 7 hours for $1,134.00! I gave them a 400 tip because they were so great and so economical!

Description of Work: showed up on time, but when they unloaded, they tried to convince me not to install the mirrors, to which i said install. i later realized it was bc they must have dropped the mirror bc the frame was broken. in their defense, i had to have the stuff in sorage for 2 weeks, so the move is not as easy as normally.

They were on time and were very professional. They took great care with my breakables and pictures. They really packed up my glass items and furniture. I haven't moved in 15 years and the stuff I had accumulated showed that. They never complained or stood around doing nothing. Most of my stuff is in their storage facility and I feel very comfortable having everything with them. I will use them again and tell my friends to use them as well.

These guys were awesome. We had Nick as the foreman. They were punctual, neat, polite and got the job done in exactly the amount of hours stated. Their estimate came in at $400 less than the next closest we had gotten. We were also quoted for 8 hrs. and everyone else quoted us for 9.5 hrs. They charged $25 less per hour overtime than all the other estimates we had gotten. Even if we went overtime we would have still been in lower than competitors. Nothing was damaged, and they had to also more our very heavy furniture up 2 flights of stairs. They did a great job. UPDATE: I would like to update the previous review I submitted. We thought everything went great until a few days ago. We had found two areas on the walls with hand prints containing blood. Thinking one of the guys cut himself did not think too much of it. The other day my husband went to move our sofa and low and behold one of the legs was splintered totally off. I understand things can happen but what really annoyed us was that they obviously tried to hide it. What they did was just sit the sofa on top of the leg and basically act like nothing happened.
Description of Work: Moving Doctor moved our entire house with 2,400 sq. ft. of furniture. Some furniture was 40 years old and very heavy.

We had a small office move. An estimate was given over the phone by a very pleasant representative. We chose them because of the Angie's list reviews and the fact that they had a good rating with the BBB. The movers showed up on time, were very careful with our furniture and completed the job quickly. As far as pricing was concerned, they were only slightly lower than another estimate but since the move took only a couple of hours we paid a minimum charge anyway; this is standard for the industry.

They were partially good and partially not so good. It was a four stop move. My parents home was damaged in the hurricane and it was a house they lived in for fifty years. They came out and did two estimates and itemized everything and the prices came in almost double what they had estimated. They did work with us a tiny bit but that was a big negative. Other than that, they worked with us in a timely manner and they did put a lot of extra people on at short notice and they did work in harsh conditions. The team that was working with us was very nice. But their price was horrendous. They did pack the stuff nicely and there was very little breakage but boxes were all mixed up by the time they got here. A lot of things that were supposed to be delivered to the other place ended up in my house. I don't think anything got lost but we are still unpacking. They did give us a month of free storage. It is unfortunate because I thought they did a nice job in the house and it was a tough situation. But with the prices and the mix-up of the boxes, I would have to say they were average.
Description of Work: We used The Moving Doctor. They also had stuff in storage for us for about a month and a half. It was a really big move as my parents home was damaged in the hurricane.

It went very well. They were late getting to the apartment but called to tell me they were stuck in traffic which was definitelyunderstandable. I understand they were very helpful to my daughter and did a good job. Again, they were late getting tomy home but once more there is always traffic during the week. This delay did cost me extra money. However, they werevery professional, pleasant and did a very good job. The furniture was all well-protected and handled with care. I woulddefinitely use them again.
Description of Work: They moved some furniture from my daughter's apartment in New York City to my home in the suburbs. The furniture included one bedroom set, a television and some boxes filled with miscellaneous items.
