My mover was Eddie and his preteen kids plus an assortment of other teenagers. Yes, preteen! They didn’t bring tools so had to borrow mine. Then, they nearly destroyed my furniture and my house. Eddie was too busy preaching his religious views to me instead of watching what was going on. When I texted his father (the owner) to let him know how the move went, I got a really inappropriate text back from Eddie, who did not claim responsibility. You can see my more detailed review plus 20 more pictures on yelp where a number of nasty and sadistic Appalachian Ohioans flagged my review as funny.

Great. We had a lot of stuff. Overall, it took 8 truckloads and a little over 2 days to move it all. Rates were hourly per worker and ranged anywhere from 2 to 5 at any given time. The guys were great and treated our stuff as if it was their own. Would definitely use again and have recommended them to friends.

We were very pleased with the guys who showed up for the first move (Bob, Ben, Devin, and Dustin) and the second part of the move a week later (Jeff and Ben). They were on time both days and helped us so much (we hadn't moved in 35+ years and were not as prepared as we should have been and had a lot of questions). They were very careful with our furniture and boxes, and we didn't have any damage from the move. They let us know through the process what they were doing. They moved very quickly and were very polite to my husband and me, and very caring of our belongings. They placed all the furniture and boxes in the rooms we requested. It was a very cold day in January with ice and snow on the ground - definitely not the best of conditions. My husband and I felt the price was very fair for the work done, and the work done by the guys was fantastic. We would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: We moved from one house to another about 12 miles away, in very cold temperatures and snow and ice a factor. We were not as prepared as we should have been, and actually scheduled a second appointment to move the remainder of our items that were not packed for the movers at the first appointment.

Response from SAFE & SOUND MOVING CO
It was a pleasure to work with these folks. At the end of each move a walk thru is performed and no mention of a broken table. We pride ourselves on quality work and actually lost money on this move. Beds unfortunately could not of been set up due to the amount of items in the rooms and don't recall being asked to set the beds up. Regards -

Interesting. Safe and Sound has very good reviews, and I called with the hope of getting them to move us. Here's how the call went: S&S: Hello? Me: Um... I was calling for Safe and Sound Moving... S&S: Yup. Me: Ok. I'd like to get an estimate for moving on from to S&S: What date? Me: S&S: Ok. Let me check the schedule and call you back. What's your number. me: 4 hours pass The call back was a little better. The guy was a little more talkative, and asked a few questions about what we were moving. Then he went into his speech about how he's cheaper than competition. He then told me had much nicer trucks than his, but he was cheaper. I find myself frustrated by this type of approach with people who are running service businesses. If you're not in the mood or position to answer your phone (Hello?...Yup...), then let it go to voice mail at least. Or hire a answering service. I talked to 3 other moving companies, who all had websites to get basic information about their company, and when I called they answered the phone professionally, and were prepared for the "I'm moving in a couple weeks can you give me an estimate" question. Then to go on and tell me that other companies had better trucks? Come on... If you are as good as your reviews here say, how much more business could you have if you were a little more customer service oriented? How could you business expand? Maybe this approach/pitch resonates with others, and obviously they have some happy customers, but I went with the company this guy told me had better trucks. Their estimate wasn't that much higher than his, and there's a real company there, not just a grumpy dude with a cell phone.

I called several moving companies for quotes and received wildly different responses for cost. I liked what I read in the reviews on this website, so I decided to hire Safe and Sound based on speaking with the owner, their prices and those reviews. It was the best decision! They arrived on time and ready to work. It took them less than four hours to get everything put in place where I wanted it in my new home. The staff were professional and personable and took great care of my belongings. Nothing was broken and a small gouge in some doorway trim was fixed immediately and well. I was originally quoted for one truck and three movers, but the owner accompanied the truck and decided to upgrade us to two trucks and five movers when he saw the amount of stuff we had because, although the hourly rate for that would be higher, in the end it would save us money because it would be much less time. I really appreciated that honesty. I don't want to move again any time soon, but if I ever do, I'll definitely be calling them again!

These 2 guys were great. They knew their business and was able to put this safe through the french doors although it was a tight fit. It took 4.5 hrs of smooth organized and deliberate moving and even I doubted that it could be done. I would use again if I ever had to move large objects. I would further recommend them without hesitation. They were super!
Description of Work: Move a large safe from the garage to a room in the house. The safe weighed 1200 lbs and was dropped shipped to my house. As it turned out it was to large to fit through a traditional door into the house and therefore had to be moved to a room that had french doors. This called for moving the safe stilled boxed and on a pallet on both hard and soft surfaces 3/4 around the house.

Three men from Safe and Sound arrived promptly at 9 AM like they said. In approximately two hours, they had all the large items from a four bedroom house (to include a full basement) loaded into the truck and on our way to our new home in Beavercreek OH. Items moved included: two sofas, dressers, oak wall units, tables/chairs, antique secretary, beds, table saw, two large and heavy tool benches, washer and dryer and much more. Once at the new location, they would stop with each piece and let us place felt pads on the legs/feet to avoid scratching a new hardwood floor. In a little over two hours, everything was off the truck and in place at our new home. We were most impresses with their professionalism, speed, efficiency, cost.and most important, the quality of their work. I highly recommend Safe and Sound Moving and would not hesitate to use them again should the need arise.

We contacted Safe and Sound about moving us from Greenville to Xenia. Ron Sherrill, owner, explained what they could do for us and gave an estimate based on the information we provided. We set up a date for the move that worked for our schedule. Ron checked in with us the day before the move to be sure everything was ready. On the day of the move, Ron showed up first and walked thru the house our house verifying what was to be moved. His employees and 2 trucks showed up right on time. The movers, Bob, Jeff and Dave, were very friendly, courteous and very professional. They took care to insure that our furniture was protected, wrapped with blankets, stretch wrap, etc and handled everything with care. They loaded everything from the first house and never took a break. They were waiting for us at the new house when we got to Xenia. Bob and Jeff again were very efficient and placed all our furniture exactly where we requested it be placed. Again they did not take any breaks in the unloading process. They took care to insure nothing was damaged and even put coverings down to protect the carpets. When they were finished they took the time to be sure we were satisfied where all the furniture had been placed. They then cleaned up anything that was out of place and left things just as they were when they arrived. The cost for the move was very reasonable for the time involved, approximately 6 hours, and the move distance, 50+ miles between the two houses. We were totally satisfied with the service provided, especially with the actual movers, Bob and Jeff, they were very professional. We would not hesitate to recommend Safe & Sound Moving, this is a good company.

Scheduling the move was very easy. I spoke with company to check availability and then confirmed and scheduled our moving appointment via text. The day of the move, everything went smoothly. Movers showed up early on move day. They were able to complete the job in 5 and a half hours. None of our belongings were damaged and they took time to ensure they did not bang up our walls or scratch floors. The movers were very personable and professional.

Ron and the guys showed up promptly at 8am when he said they would be there and got straight to work. They moved everything I asked them to without hesitation and got this big job done in 9 hours and well under what I budgeted for the move originally. They were friendly, professional and accommodating. I really couldn't have asked for a better moving experience.

Great! The guys were all very friendly and professional. The supervisor came out beforehand to do a walk-through and provide an accurate estimate. The movers were very careful with my furniture and to not mark up the walls going up and down the stairs. I even saw their supervisor circling back around once during the move to check that things were progressing OK. Cost included a surcharge for using a credit card (I believe 3%). However, they were a lot cheaper than Two Men and a Truck. They did not ask for a deposit or a credit card on file up front; it was all transacted on a handshake.

What a great experience! The three guys that moved us - Michael, Mike, and Beau - were an awesome team! They arrived promptly at the designated time and got right to work. They took very good care in getting our stuff packed into the truck. They used pads on just about everything and used plastic wrap to hold the pads in place to protect the furniture and the walls. They worked well together as a team. Beau took beds apart, as well as the treadmill, and unhooked the washer and dryer - then he was the one to put them back together at the new house. Seems like the perfect system to make sure things got done correctly. All three of the guys worked so hard, expeditiously, and with few breaks. I would highly recommend Safe & Sound!

The movers were very pleasant, did a great job, didn't bang any woodwork or damage any furniture. One item was extremely heavy and they didn't complain (I would have!) and got it out of a garden shed to the other house. I received an estimate in advance and was told the actual charge is based on an hourly rate for two movers and a truck. They took exactly the amount of time that was estimated. I was very pleased with the whole operation. It was painless for me, which is usually not the case when you are watching someone move your valuables. Ron, the owner is very nice to talk to and scheduled this move very quickly. When my house sells, I will have to move the furniture out, and I will definitely call Safe and Sound again.
Description of Work: I was staging my house for sale. The movers came to my current house, picked up some furniture, drove it to my sale house and installed it. They also moved some furniture from the garage of the sale house to the inside. Then, they moved some other furniture from my sale house to my current house.

Everything was good up to the day of the desired help. One of the movers called us to try to move the time we had scheduled due to a conflicting appointment he had, which we declined. Called the owner and he replaced the individual with one from another crew. The owner stopped by before his movers arrived. Had a pleasant conversation with him and he explained all they were going to do. Once his team arrived, they got straight to business. The two guys we hired were very pleasant, hard working, and got the job done faster than we anticipated, while still being careful with out belongings.

Moved all of the furniture and owner packed boxes from a 4 bedroom, 2 story house with a full basement. Unloaded and placed furniture in the new location, two story home with a basement. Did the necessary relocation of "stuff" to get a freezer out of the basement.They were able to move a couch to the basement in the new location, which I had been told would NEVER fit down the stairs. Moved out and took away items that were left in the new location. Put the beds together at the new location. Absolutely wonderful PEOPLE and service!!!!
