Description of Work: The movers loaded the truck at my old address and unloaded it at my new address. Not only were they professional and polite, they were careful and efficient. The whole move - including travel time from city-to-city - took just four hours! I will definitely use them again and very highly recommend them.

Response from Economy Movers & Storage
We understand your concerns and appreciate your feedback. However, I feel some clarification is necessary here. Before we were hired to move your baby grand piano, a price was quoted based on travel and the time necessary to complete this piano move. That price never changed as you were charged exactly what was quoted. We did receive a call from another party who was actually the party who hired us ([Member name removed]). She called me to talk about her concerns which consisted of the fence not being put back into place and the issue with the leg on the piano. Nothing else was ever mentioned. I personally spoke with [Member name removed] and feel that I was nothing but gracious and empathetic and logged our conversation which was forwarded to the president of Economy Movers who handles any damage claims. [Member name removed] told me she already had an appointment scheduled with a piano technician and would have her look at the leg and I agreed. A return call was made to [Member name removed], but there was no answer, we left a voicemail which we never received a call back. A few days later, I was contacted by the piano technician who made the repair which was a minor issue with the lyre post being separated from the top support. There was no issue with the sustain pedal. We paid the technician directly for that repair. The fence was never removed by our staff so it was not replaced by our staff. There was no furniture rearranged to move this piano into your home nor was there ever mention of this by [Member name removed]. We sincerely apologize our staff using your bathroom and we are handling this with our employees. We are happy to talk to you if there is anything else you would like addressed or known to us.

We hired Economy Moving & Storage to help us move my mother from a small house to a second floor apartment. The lady who answered the phone and booked the appointment was knowledgable, friendly, and professional. When the day came, the four movers arrived exactly on time. They were all pleasant and treated my mother (who is older and sometimes demanding) very well. They were respectful and answered all her questions without being condescending or acting irritated. Once at the new apartment, they brought up all her belongings and even tried repeatedly to move a couch that did not fit through the doorway (removed the light fixture, removed the door, tried different angles, etc.) When they still couldn't get the couch through they brought it back to the old house for her. Overall, we were very pleased with the professionalism of these gentlemen and would not hesitate to hire them again.

I found Economy Movers on Angie's list and contacted them by email for a quote. They were responsive and reasonably priced. I received a confirmation call the day before the move. I had a large truck and 3 gentlemen to move me. I have 3 cats which freaked out once the truck arrived. They nicely waited outside while I coralled the cats into another room. They started the work immediately and worked very quickly. The asked me questions of they came upon anything that needed explanation. I also have some antique furniture that they took extra care to wrap and carry out of the house. They quickly unloaded once we got to the new property and brought everything in. They were prfessional, hard workers, and just generally very nice. I would highly recommend using them.

These guys are great! Three men showed up on time and did not even take a break after 4 hours. They were respectful of my property and were very polite. No dings, scratches, or bumps. They also did not smoke which meant that I did not have to pick up cigarette butts after they left. I hope I do not have to move again , but if I do, I will definitely call them again.

Response from Economy Movers & Storage
Hi Member, Thank you for taking the time to write such a great review! As a small business, we rely heavily on great reviews and referrals from others. I would like to clarify the rate and the total that you were charged, as there is sometimes confusion amongst other potential customers when viewing your information. You were actually charged $114.00 per hour, which is our rate M-F (May-Sept) ($105.00 per hour M-F (October-April)). Your move, with the travel time (billed portal to portal) to a third floor apartment was completed in 3.5 hours. Thank you and we look forward to servicing you again!

From the beginning, the company was outstanding. The person on the phone was very knowledgeable, asked me very specific questions, gave me an estimate that ended up being right on the money, and told me ways that I could decrease my cost. I was told when to expect the packers, which was 1 day before the move. They were prompt, efficient, courteous, and very professional. I was informed when they found something broken in my kitchen and asked if I wanted to pack it or throw it out. They were quite good. The next day, the moving team arrived, again right on time. They began organizing and getting things into the truck. I had some things going next door and some things going to storage. Once again, everyone was polite, courteous, willing to take direction, and we're so careful with my antiques and fine furniture. They were finished around 6:30 pm on a Friday night and I never heard 1 complaint. They were the greatest. I would not hesitate to use this company again and will tell my friends as well.
Description of Work: Packing up a condo for moving, including a very full kitchen and office. Move some furniture and boxes next door, and move the remainder to a storage unit. On the way into my condo on moving day, meet me at my storage unit to pick up some pieces and assess how much storage was left if the storage units were packed a little better. Told to call me when they were leaving their business and again when they were 15 minutes away, which they did, so that I could meet them at the storage facility. Return at the end of the day to drop off furniture and boxes at the storage unit and repack the units to accommodate the new things.

They showed up on time and evaluated the move and realized that they needed an larger truck. In the essence of time they left two men to start the packing and wrapping process. I was very impressed with the effort and the efficiency of their wrapping since we had a lot of glass furniture that was expensive. Josh and Steve worked to get everything ready for the truck.amd they packed it close to the door. Once the truck returned they spend little time talking and a lot of time moving all four room including two sewing machines. The offload at the new house was nothing less than perfect and coordinated everything was placed where my wife wanted. I would definitely use this company again without hesitations. When you find a good company and we share this everyone benefits from the list.
Description of Work: I contracted with Economy Movers to move four rooms from North Providence to Warwick including a piano. This included moving from a first floor to a first floor the move from however while a first floor is elevated. the move included wrapping all furniture and associated mirror . Some of the furniture needed to be separated older two piece desks and a large glass corner piece. A king size bed with matteras and box spring required them to disassemble and re assemble. There were no boxes as they were already packed and moved prior to this phase of the moving.

Things went very well. The Economy Movers team arrived on time at 8:30 am, and were a friendly bunch - because of the hoist, and no need for a crane, there were 4 on the team - Steve, Dave, Ted, and Joe. Very experienced. I showed them where the rooms were, and what needed to move, and they got to work, making short work of the 4th floor room, and then quickly getting items from the 3rd floor moved down. Because there were 4 of them, one guy loaded the POD, while the others formed a "bucket brigade" to move things along pretty quickly. I took apart my "furniture moving window" (building was built in 1910, I suspect this window was specifically larger to accommodate large furniture), and they rigged/hoisted the couch down. They were pretty efficient and while I feared that the POD was not large enough to hold everything, after they were done, I still had about half the POD left! About 3.5 hours from leaving their base to return; I would definitely use Economy Movers again.
Description of Work: I had ~7 rooms of stuff moved from the 4th and 3rd floors of my condo to a POD on ground level. One of the items that needed special attention was a couch, which had to go through my window on the 3rd floor; it was for this reason that I went with Economy Movers (they hoist and rig).

Overall they did great work. Highly recommended and mostly really professional. We received lower estimates from other companies but still decided to go with them. The only thing--why professionalism is getting a "B"--that bothered me is that two of the guys constantly kept bickering with one another. At first I thought they were merely joking but then it got increasingly uncomfortable because it didn't seem friendly any more. And they also did moan a lot about the heat that day. Part of me understood that but part of me also thought, if you can't do the heat then you shouldn't take on moving jobs in the summer. It seems that if this is their job they would have figured out ways of dealing by bringing enough to drink or something. Maybe the complaining was just an act designed to get a nice tip. (It worked!). Overall, though, I thought the company itself definitely deserves an "A" rating.
Description of Work: Someone came to do an estimate (very professional!) and then I received an email with three different figures (self-pack, kitchen only-pack, and having them do all the packing). Three guys arrived on the designated day on time and did their work in a speedy manner. They took care with our things and carried boxes up and down stairs (from a 2nd floor apartment to a single family).

Bob, the owner, came out to the house where the piano was stored, assessed the move and gave me a quote on the spot. His team worked well together, and the move went smoothly. When the piano arrived at my home there was not a scratch on it from the move. Every member of the staff I've met have been very nice and professional. The biggest thing I like about using Economy Movers is the speed at which I get an accurate quote, the service is almost instant and everyone I've referred them to LOVE them!
Description of Work: Economy Movers dismantled and moved a grand piano out of an attic of a home in Providence. The move involved coming down stairs, removing a window and using a hoist to bring the piano out. The piano was then moved to my home and reassembled.
