Alan Vickers Moving Services is FANTASTIC! I can not say enough great things about this moving company. The three men crew showed up 30 minutes ahead of schedule, and we were ready to load and go! They wrapped my furniture and took special great care of everything. I have antiques and they made it! They even took great care of moving a grandfather clock upright - the way you should move it. I moved across town into a new townhouse that has an upstairs. Before they moved things in, they laid blankets on the new hardwood floors and on the stair rails to make sure to protect them. As they were moving my things in, I was juggling a satelite installation person, and landline/wireless person; and before I could blink, Alan Vickers had my beds put together and my rugs and furniture in place! They were wonderful. I have recommended them to several people since then. I HIGHLY recommend Alan Vickers Moving Services. What else was amazing, there was not one scratch on any of the newly painted walls, with this being a new construction build. They are worth every penny! Even my contractor who was over the construction build commented "wow - that is a first with no scratched walls".

Things were very smooth. Moving is hard to stay organized and then replace everything in the new house. The 3 guys did an excellent job of placing things where we requested. They finished faster than planned and were very willing to do what was required. They were careful with our furnishings.

Alan Vickers Moving did an outstanding job. The crew were all employees and no temporary help. They were experienced, professional, and very curtious. We moved on a very hot day and many items had to be taken up to the 3rd and 4th floors of a townhouse. The crew did not complain and placed everything where we wanted it. They were very careful with our items and were careful not to bump walls or scratch floors. The home has a narrow staircase that required extra care to avoid scratching the walls, and they did a great job. One piece of furniture received a minor scratch that they quickly had repaired to our satisfaction. I would definitely use them again. We have moved many times within the US and internationally with the large moving companies, and Alan Vickers performed among the best.

This was the best moving experience we have ever had and that includes 11 corporate relocation moves within North America. Alan Vicker's Moving Services is family owned and they take great pride in their business. Their pricing is reasonable. They are not the cheapest game in town, but it's true that you get what you pay for. The movers worked tirelessly, without breaks and with Alan Vickers you pay only for the time required to complete your move. All in all, we could have hired a number of moving companies which had a lower hourly rate, but I am convinced that Vickers Moving was so efficient that while their hourly rate was a bit higher, the overall move was accomplished much more quickly due to their experience and expertise. Each and every person was professional, courteous and positive. They treated our household goods as if they were their own, taking care in loading and unloading. As we were moving into a newly constructed home in a city new to us, I was particularly concerned about the potential for scratches in the hardwood floors or on the walls. I was worrying needlessly. There wasn't a single bit of damage on our furniture or within our new home. They even attached felt pads to the feet of our furniture as it was brought into the house. I purchased an assortment of these pads at the suggestion of Sarah Vickers who handled all the arrangements around our move. She provided great value add and was a delight to work with. With all the stress that comes with relocation in general, save yourself from worrying about your choice of moving companies. Start with Alan Vickers Moving Services. We will continue to recommend Alan Vickers Moving Services to friends and family.

The closing on our home was delayed and we had to reschedule the movers. Alan and his wife graciously kept in contact and worked with us in getting another date. The 3 man moving crew arrived right on time. Since we were paying by the hour, I was concerned that they might not work as fast as they could but I was wrong. They worked very hard throughout the day and did an excellent job. We were very happy we had hired them even though they were a little pricey. A friend of ours hired a "cheaper" company and found out that you get what you pay for. I would definitely hire Vickers Moving again.

Alan Vickers showed up at my most recent move claiming to be an able bodied crew member when all he did was look for the lightest boxes. Then charged me for 3 men when clearly only 2 worked. The crew is usually fantastic...just make sure they don't over book and stick you with Alan Vickers to cover the 3rd person in the crew. I contacted Sarah to tell her how upset I was and she sent me a rude email in reply. I've worked with this company alot in the past, I'm extremely disappointed in how they treat a "valued customer".

To start, Sarah, who got me set up for the move was very nice and professional. The following week 3 gentlemen showed up on time to move all my heavy furniture down the street to another home. Not only did they save me a great deal of stress but their price for the whole thing was very reasonable! They took great care in moving my furniture and made sure once they got it in a certain place they asked me several times if thats where I wanted it. Very professional and courteous!

Amid all of the chaos of purchasing a home, the moving experience was one of the few things that went smoothly. I had a specific time window for the elevator at my apartment building, and they were willing to accommodate my limitations when other companies in town were not. The team arrived on time. We had a problem due to others going over the allotted elevator time, but the project manager went out of his way to smooth it all over with the apartment complex and get his guys working before leaving. That saved a lot of headache for me. They also brought their own collection of wardrobe boxes (at no extra charge) to minimize trips, which saved a lot of time. The team was courteous and professional and didn't leave until everything was to my liking. I highly recommend Alan Vickers Moving Service.

We used Alan Vickers Moving Service for our move from a 3rd floor condo to a 2 story home. Sarah coordinated our move and was a pleasure to work with. She gave me some basic information during our first phone call and set up a time to visit our condo and assess the time it would take for the move. We agreed on what they would move and what we would move ourselves. We also discussed how much packing we would do ahead of time. She brought a member of their crew with her and the two of them walked the path through the building to see how all the items would get from our front door to the truck?. measuring doorways and entrances along the way. The next day she sent us a detailed estimate via email. Leading up to the move, Sarah was quick to respond on date change requests and also changes on a few items to be moved (or not to be moved). On moving day, the crew arrived on time and got to work immediately. We had them empty out a storage unit first, and then head to the condo. They were so fast at the storage unit that they arrived a few minutes before we were allowed to begin moving (per condo policies). They were quick to ask if a few of them could go ahead and come up stairs to begin prepping items...again, using time wisely. They worked quickly and efficiently together. We felt like they were also very respectful of our belongings. Once we were done loading at the condo, the crew took a one hour lunch break on the way to the new house. This gave us some time to get over to the new location as well. At the new house, they again worked quickly to get everything where we wanted it to go. They carted many heavy boxes up the stairs and never complained or slowed down. At the end of the service, we were presented with a detailed invoice listing check-in and check-out times, number of movers, and hourly rates. It was very clear what we were paying for. After the move, Sarah checked in to make sure everything had gone smoothly. We would definitely recommend this company. The hourly rate was a little higher than others we checked with, but based on customer service and hard work, I think we got the best value and probably paid less in the end. Very happy with our experience.

Both moves went flawlessly. There were no broken items, no scratches, no dents and everything arrived in perfect condition. The moving team was very professional. One could tell that they are very experienced at what they do and this wasn't their first rodeo. I would highly recommend Alan Vickers Moving for any move that one might have in mind.

They had the foresight to check out the parking, the turns in hallways, and all the little things that it would be easy to miss. I have no doubt this attention to detail made the difference in assuring my move went smoothly and on schedule. Alan's moving crew is friendly and professional. They bring EVERYTHING needed to get the job done right: wardrobe boxes to make it fast and easy to move the contents of the closet, bubble wrap to protect delicate glass, moving blankets to pad as needed and protect those perfect hardwood floors, shrink wrap that keeps drawers from coming open and upholstered furniture and mattresses spic and span. Oh, and did I mention they are gracious. Like when the world's tiniest elevator went out and they had to carry what is quite possibly the world's heaviest and most awkward desk down the stairs. No problem. No moaning, no groaning, just a cheerful, "let's get it done" attitude! Or when I discovered that the new office wasn't built out to my *exact* specifications and the server rack wouldn't roll into the server room. No biggie for these guys: they made sure equipment was secured and used their team to carefully and safely ease the rack into the room at an angle. While I'm hoping never to again move, if I did, I have no doubt I'd call Alan Vickers Moving again! They are truly the best.

I am a Realtor. This was a job done for one of my clients moving from Sugar Land to Kerrville, Texas. Sara, who is Alan Vicker's daughter coordinated the move. She did an outstanding job. He crew did meticulous work.

Alan Vickers brought two trucks and seven movers. Their teamwork and skill were immediately apparent. They were very careful in lifting, moving and positioning all items---including large pieces of furniture, mirrors, artwork and a sea of boxes. I could not have been more pleased with the service that they provided. It was hard work, yet they remained extremely polite and obviously took pride in doing an outstanding job. Whether moving to, from or within the Houston, TX area, you won't find a better moving service. Definitely plan to use them again.

The start time was designated as 8:30. The owner called at 8:00 am to tell me they would arrive in the next 20 minutes. The fully staffed (5 man) crew, the two trucks and the owner arrived as promised. It was apparent from the minute the trucks pulled into the street that the crew was very experienced and skilled and also extremely courteous. The owner and team lead surveyed the house and yard to determine the most efficient process for moving the contents. The remaining team members were busy getting the trucks ready and the wardrobe boxes positioned. There was never a time when anyone was standing around doing nothing or waiting for instruction. They developed a plan and executed flawlessly. The team was truly like a well oiled machine. They knew how to deal with everything - the Sleep Number bed, the china cabinet (hutch, multiples glass doors and shelves), etc. At the new home, they were extremely careful with the wood floors - they did not take dollies or carts off the floor coverings. They remembered where things went, helped with furniture placement, reassembled everything and made sure everything was in it's proper place. The team was extremely courteous, professional and pleasant to work with! I have made 6 moves in the last 15 years and this team was the absolute best! The biggest surprise was the cost. I was given a not-to-exceed estimate and was told that I would be billed for actual time, not to exceed the estimated amount. I fully expected to pay the total estimate - it seems like there is always a way to count more hours. However, when I was presented with the invoice the total was for actual time - down to the quarter hour. The total cost was approximately 15% less than the estimated cost. I was exteremly impressed with the service and price and would hire this company again!

This is my second move with Alan Vickers. Two of the three-man crew who moved me this time were the same men from my first move 10 years ago! They were professional, punctual and courteous. Alan is very involved in all aspects of the job and was onsite the day of the move. He was available by phone or email and responded quickly to answer any questions. He worked with me to address some last minute issues related to the remodel of my new home. My move was completed on schedule and there were no surprises on the bill! The Angie's List discount was an added bonus to the already reasonable price.

The owner (Alan) came out free of charge before I hired them to look at my home and talk about how the move would occur. He gave me an all-inclusive flat rate charge, which was a little higher than I expected, but I accepted it anyway because I knew I would have less stress on move day if I wasn't sweating the clock. When the movers showed up they unloaded wardrobe boxes for me to fill from the closet while they got set up. They put down steel plates/ramps on all the uneven surfaces outside so they have a nice clean dollie path. They were very meticulous in packing the truck to make sure they maximized truck space and caused no damage. Every piece of upholstered furniture was thoroughly wrapped in plastic. The whole crew was native english speakers, which was also a first for me. The new house is about an hour away. They asked if they could take an hour for lunch and I said sure, because I wasn't paying by the hour and that gave me more time to get everything ready at the new house. They showed up about two hours after leaving the old house. At the new location, only two of the crew members unloaded (the third had a prior engagement that afternoon they had warned me about earlier in the week). They were extremely careful with the furniture, putting down pads on the hardwoods to prevent scratching, and would plan routes for each piece of furniture before moving it. Some of the furniture couldn't fit down our hallways to go where we planned it, and so they changed the plan and moved furniture around without any complaints. They also warned me of certain pieces of furniture being placed on hardwood that had potential to scratch the floor. I unpacked the wardrobe boxes while they finished up so they could get their boxes back. Paid the bill with no surprises; it was exactly the flat rate quoted previously. Overall this was the best prepared, trained, and executed move I have been a part of. I wish it had been a bit cheaper, but it seems like I got what I paid for.

Movers arrived promptly and started loading immediately. They were courteous and professional. At the time of payment, we forgot to remind them about Angie's list discount of 10% and were charged the full amount. We subsequently contacted them and they sent us a check the same day. We are very happy with their service and will be recommending them to all of our friends.

Everything went very well. Moving service was excellent.
