We were very happy with them. They came when they said they would come. They brought a vehicle of sufficient size so that they could do the work in the given time frame. We had some glass pieces, and they were very careful with them. They were very friendly, helpful, and did not damage anything. They finished the work very fast.
Description of Work: We used South Hills Movers in 2006. They relocated us to our new house.

I contacted South Hills Movers and their sales representative came to our house, reviewed the items we had to move and gave us an estimate of about $1000 for 4 movers and a truck for 6 hours. We accepted and we scheduled the move at that time (about two weeks out). The day before, our move coordinator called to say our move team would arrive at our house at about 8:30 am the next day. On our move day, the team arrived early - about 8:15 am - and everyone introduced themselves and began to assess everything we had to move. It was raining that morning so they took the time to wrap each piece of furniture so it wouldn't get wet. And they were careful not to damage anything in the house. At the new house, they unloaded the truck and carried everything into the house and put it right where we wanted it, including our upright piano. Overall, the men were very courteous, friendly and efficient. And they came in under time and under budget.
Description of Work: Move furniture and boxes (packed by us) from our old house to our new house about 3 miles away.

I had no damage to anything they moved. They were real personable. They were very tolerant of the process. They set the date that matched my schedule. At the new house they unpacked and put everything where I wanted. Then they came back out and picked up all the boxes we used and all the wrapping.

They packed our entire house in one truck. There was a packing fee which was based on weight. Their price is really comparable with the other ones that we were looking at.

My husband and I were very pleased with the results of our recent move with South Hills Movers. This is the second time I have used South Hills Movers and Keith Landon as the driver. I would highly recommend the company and Keith's services specifically. Keith and three movers helped move large pieces of furniture, heavy boxes of books and other items with care. The movers were careful not to damage items or walls even in the narrow stairway. They also laid plastic on the stairs to protect our new carpeting, which we really appreciated since it was a rainy day. I recommend requesting the boxes they use to transport hanging clothes; it s so much easier than taking everything off the hangers! South Hills Movers is a trust-worthy company. Keith and the movers were friendly, reliable and very helpful. If we decide to move in the future, our first call will be to South Hills Movers!
Description of Work: Local move in the city of Pittsburgh from a 3 bedroom apartment into a 3 bedroom, 3 story townhouse.

South Hills was responsive to our calls and in giving us an estimate. Their estimate was right on. South Hills also was very accommodating and changed our moving date only a month before our move when a scheduling conflict arose on our end. The movers showed as scheduled (though the driver called us to say their truck was having some technical issues en-route). The movers were friendly and, for the most part, professional. (The lead driver was sarcastic and made a number of comments about how many stairs we had in/out of the apt. The company did not ask us about this when we scheduled the move -- though they should have known because they had moved us into that location two years prior.) The lead driver regretted not bringing two other (rather than the one other) guy he brought to help with the move. He could indeed have used two helpers. And in fact, there were a lot of stairs (38) and it was a very hot day. The movers arrived at the drop-off (the storage facility) somewhat later than they said they would, and I had to call them to learn that they were running about 45 minutes late. All of our belongings were intact, however, and they movers did an expert job loading/fitting them into the storage area.
Description of Work: South Hills moved all our belongings (a large 2BR's worth) from Boston, MA, to a storage facility in Pittsburgh, PA.

We would have been happy to use this company for our move but after this experience I would not recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We contacted South Hills about doing our local move after a few friends recommended them to us. We had a really hard time getting the appropriate person to call us back and to even schedule an estimate. Finally, after 6+ phone calls and messages, we were able to get someone on the phone to schedule an estimate. The afternoon of the estimate (hours before he was to show up) called us to say that they could not move us on the day (or a two day window before we had to be out). Because of their unresponsiveness, it has put us in the position of rushing to find someone else to move us.

They were good and I would recommend them. They arrived when they said they would and kept in touch if they were going to be running late. They packed everything carefully so there was no damage. They were also able to keep up with my special instructions.

The estimator arrived promptly and efficiently provided a detailed estimate. The moving men also arrived when promised and quickly boxed and loaded the apartment contents. The delivery date range was reasonable. The only glitch was that our 24 hours notice was actually only 12 hours. The load was not as heavy as anticipated so we received a refund check of $500.

Quality of packing and the move itself was satisfactory. Attitude of moving personnel variable; one was extremely helpful & pleasant. Problems stemmed from the deceptiveness of the salesman & the company's failure, despite a letter to its president, to stand behind his promises. Salesman promised me that my 3 window A/Cs would be installed & represented the issue as routine. In fact, the crew chief informed me upon arrival they're not allowed to install A/Cs & said Operations doesn't report to Sales (I didn't think this was my problem). He called the office & told me the head of sales would call me back. He never had the courtesy to do so. Late that night, an independent vendor arrived to do the work, but I was charged for their services. I signed a typical plus-or-minus-10% contract, as mandated by the FTC. At the conclusion of the move, however, I was presented with a bill for 17% in excess of the bid- not counting later A/C bill. Wouldn't use again.

Very disappointing. I used this company three years ago, and was very pleased, but this experience was quite opposite. They broke two boxes of dishes/glassware, the glass top to my desk and severely gouged all six of my dining room chairs. The truck driver also side-swiped my neighbor's car, doing extensive damage, as they were leaving the old house. Company's explanation is that they use inexperienced help during the busy times of the year. Buyer beware!

Estimate to move was $1800. It was estimated that we needed 157 boxes to move. If we needed them to pack all 157 boxes it would cost approximately another $1008. We purchases 140 boxes and packed them ourselves. Boxes cost us $157. It was suggested that we pack the majority ourselves and leave the china and dishes for them so that they would be covered under the insurance. This is what we did and called prior to the packers arriving as so that they would be updated as to where we were. We were told that 2 men would come for a few hours to finish the packing. Instead 4 men showed with a truck (mad) and began packing and moving our belongings onto the truck. I called a manager who assured me that it would only cut my moving costs down for the next day. The next day 6 men showed up and the job was done in 6.5 hours instead of 8, but I was then charged for an extra day of moving. Total bill just under $2800. 2 Wks of phone calls, Sales rep. sent me to Mgr and still no response.
Description of Work: Came to home, gave estimate, sent packers day before move to finish packing china and dishes, prepared rest of items being moved like dining room table and bookshelves for move. Moved, and loaded all furniture, personally packed boxes, clothing, garage and basement items onto moving truck. Then drove truck 4 miles to new home and unloaded truck and started putting all of the belongings into new home. Set up items backs back to the way the were.

THEY CALLED THE NIGHT BEFORE TO TELL US THEY WOULD BEGIN AT 9 AM INSTEAD OF 8. THEY SHOWED UP PROMPTLY AT 9. THEY WERE COURTEOUS AND EXTREMELY EFFICIENT. WE MOVED ACROSS TOWN AND THEY HAD UNPACKED THE TRUCK BY 3:30 PM. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE MOVING IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE SALESMAN WE SPOKE WITH TO BOOK THE MOVE WAS LONG-WINDED (HE KEPT TALKING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES AFTER HE HAD FINISHED HIS QUOTE EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A SCREAMING TODDLER WAITING TO BE PUT TO BED) AND HIS ESTIMATE WAS PRETTY LOW IN COMPARISON TO THE ACTUAL COST (BY ABOUT $100).
