Easy and professional from beginning to end. Cheryl in the office is responsive, clear and efficient at making arrangements. The three men who did the move came right on time and were fast, careful, clearly experienced and very nice. It was the easiest move ever!

Came off like clockwork. Great crew, with a very positive attitude. We paid for a minimum contract (3 hours) for each of the two days. They finished the work within the time frame with no problem.
Description of Work: We had our hardwood floors refinished (main and upstairs). We had to have all the furniture moved from living room, dining room, and 3 bedrooms. Economy came on a Monday morning, moved all the furniture to the garage, and returned the following Monday to return furniture in place.

Things went well. A few glitches on both of our parts, but nothing that is a deal breaker. The staff at the office and the folks doing the actual moving were great, which helps during a stressful situation.

My initial interaction with Cheryl was great she was friendly, polite and responsive and the estimate she provided was right on point. The price was very reasonable and I was happy with it. My movers Jason, Ron & Ryan were prompt, courteous, efficient, helpful, professional and genuinely nice guys. It was about a million degrees that day, and they never slowed down. They even helped me with where to put the furniture in my new apartment, and their suggestions were awesome. Like many others, I was very stressed about moving, but the actual move was seamless. I plan on moving again in the near future, and I will DEFINITELY use this company! Thanks Again!

I was lucky enough to have 3 awesome movers (Jason, Frank, & Jeremy) who showed up on time and were in great moods! They were able to navigate my boxes and furniture from my second floor apartment down a windy staircase and managed to do it all without a scratch! I can not stress how quickly but efficiently they worked. They then had to bring in my contents into an already furnished house, which is not an easy ordeal. They also did this with great care and were super fast. I only had to pay the minimum moving fee and I couldn't be more pleased with how absolutely genuinely nice these guys were. Thanks for making my moving not a nightmare! :)

We scheduled our move a few weeks in advance. It was nice that when the day of the move was forecast to be snowy (and we were moving from our old house on a steep hill), Cheryl could reschedule us for the day after we had first set up. The team of Frank, Jeremy and Derrick showed up right on time. They wasted no time moving furniture and the piano from all 3 floors of our house. They were careful to wrap things in blankets before moving them so neither our stuff or the house was damaged. At our new place they quickly figured out how to move everything to where we asked them. They did a great job for a very reasonable price. We would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We needed to do a local move from old house to new condo including some big pieces and a piano.

piano moving
 + -1 more
They were very professional, careful, polite and experienced. All the furniture was moved carefully and cheerfuly. The piano removal was a challenge - they needed to remove window panes and use a crane to lift it down from the second floor on a tight city street. It all went very smoothly. They were 2 hours later than the latest time in the original estimate. But they called and let me know, and mentioned the reasons why ( a longdistance driveway and elevator delays) and once they were there, they were very efficient The crane for the piano was expensive.The driver was competent and resourceful and careful. They were upfront with me with the cost - $450 an hour. I would definitely use them again. Moving my piano has always been expensive, especially to the 2nd floor of an old house with narrow stairways and no driveway.

AMAZING and FAST. Watching these guys load and unload was like watching a movie on fast forward. Seemed like I blinked my eyes and half my stuff was in the truck. Move of two bed apt took 4 hours start to finish including 30 min drive to the new place. We had moved most small boxes ourselves beforehand to save money - had we known how fast they were going to be we would have let them do it all! They were extremely professional, friendly, punctual (arrived right on schedule) and affordable. Highly recommend!

These guys did an awesome job moving my chaotic mess. They moved all my furniture, books, beads, plants and boxes...including some tables stored in the basement and another building on the property. They even carried my cats (in kitty carriers) down the stairs to my car for me. Then moved everything into the new place, and set up my bed dresser couch and work tables. It all took four guys about 4 hours and the price was worth it...I would recommend this company to anyone!

Joe A., Joe K., David and Ron are absolutely fantastic and professional!! They even arrived earlier than expected! Very pleasant and friendly, did not assume what I wanted done or where the furniture was to be moved.They know how to do the job efficiently and with minimal time.They moved 5 rooms of furniture from other areas in 2 1/2 hours. They even removed items from the desk, etc. and boxed them up, something I was planning to do before the men arrived. Extreme care was given to each piece of furniture especially my desk that was partially made of particle board; all furniture was assessed before it was moved to prevent damage. My husband was extremely pleased with the quality of the work and especially the price. We will definitely call for this team again. Job well done!! Susan and Amit Datta East Greenwich

Chose Economy from Angie's List, but then learned that the seller of our new home had also used them to move down the street and had been very pleased. We worried when the movers were several hours late arriving to start-just before a long weekend, but the company office was reassuring during the wait, and the movers eventually came and were great: hardworking, quick but careful, and both professional and pleasant. Price was also very good. I would highly recommend and use Economy again.

These guys were amazing. They filled two large trucks, and I have to admit, we had a TON of stuff. They moved some closets into a room that I had no idea could fit, but they eased it through w/o a scratch. It was a couple of long days, but they handled it with professionalism, courtesy and a crazy work ethic- these guys busted their buns. The experience on the team was incredible, not just with Bob, but the many years of experience on the team. Every one of these guys really knew what they were doing. I would have written this review 2 months ago, except I thought I had already written it until my smarter half just informed me that I had in fact, NOT written it. Sorry I didn't get to it right away- these guys deserve kudos for a job well done. I would use them again and recommend them highly. I forget the exact cost of the service, but I do recall that it was several THOUSAND dollars less than the next closest competitor. I want to say it was around 6500, pretty sure it was less than $7000. We had 2 estimates for over $12,000, the next best was around 10,000.

FANTASTIC. We were scheduled to be loaded on Saturday then unloaded on Monday after the closing on our house in the morning. There was no charge to store our stuff over night, The night before the move at about 10:00pm, I found out our closing time moved to Monday evening. I sent an email to Economy movers that night. First thing in the morning they called me and they were more than happy to switch things around to accommodate us.

Four experienced professionals arrived on time for the days move. No college kids. They worked tirelessly through the day packing everything including a basement full of odds and ends. They worked their way through 12 hours of packing, loading and moving to the new place. Not a scratch or dent to be found and everything that was packed arrived as good as new. They even worked through lunch taking minimal time to eat a sandwich. Couldn't ask for better guys or a better result. I recommend them to everyone.

I highly recommend Economy Movers. They were professional, very experienced and everything when like clockwork. The team worked very well together. The move took less time than expected and also cost less than the original estimate. There were no scratches or dings at either house nor to any furniture. Also the lady in the office was very helpful. I can't say enough good things about this company. I would definitely use them again.
