They showed up about 2 hours late, which was a bit troubling since it was near the end of the day and the storage space location closed at a certain time - but they brought 5 guys and managed to get everything done, staying past 7pm to make sure that everything fit in the space. I was really impressed with the amount of effort they put into the whole thing.

Three very strong guys came to move this massive arcade game down two flights of steep stairs. They were very careful not to mark the walls and the floors. This was a small job which we could not do on our own and this was the only company that returned our call and that was willing to work with us. They squeezed us in between their bigger jobs and we were very pleased with their work...I would highly recommend this company!

Great company, especially for small moving jobs. Workers were friendly and helpful - even took a few more items then I originally requested. Response from company with original inquiry was prompt and friendly - would recommend - especially for small jobs.

I didn't have a tremendous amount of stuff to move, but they were still amazingly efficient and speedy. My 1 bedroom move 2 miles miles only took 1.5hrs (it also helped that there was a roomy freight elevator, loading dock, and my new place was on the first floor). This is the second time I've used them and it was great to see that they hadn't lost their touch in the intervening time. Because of a truck rental issue that morning and traffic, they were running about 45 min late, but I received multiple calls updating me on their progress and assuring me they would be able to complete my move. Clock started when we walked into my apartment and stopped after the last item was placed where I wanted in in my new condo. The guys took great care in moving my stuff. I had scratched my couch on a previous move that I did myself, and they noticed it after getting it into the freight elevator. They were very concerned that they had caused the scratch until I took credit for it. They had a great attention to detail and were very professional. Have already recommended them to friends moving this summer.

It went very well and the team was extremely careful with all belongings. They provide a "how to" pack guide on the website, follow it! Very good recommendations within that allow the team to quickly pack everything securely in the truck and reduce your chances of anything breaking. I will likely be unable to use them for our next move as it will be larger than a small box truck worth of items, but I would definitely recommend them, after using services twice they have been very courteous and helpful. They will also allow the owner to help out to speed along the process which will keep the charges down as it is based on the time required to complete the move. This is one of those services that while I hate paying for movers since I could probably have "done it myself" I don't regret it at all as it went so smoothly and quickly compared to doing it myself that it was completely worth it. Also its great to be supporting a small, local and rapidly developing business such as MTB.

My Truck Buddy provided a prompt response to request to move a bed that was very fragile. They came in at a good bid (less than the others contacted on Angie's List). They communicated, were on time, and did a great job! They get an A+. And, my Mom was the person on site to coordinate the day of the move and they were very polite to her and made it a positive experience for her. The bed was moved without any damage, so they were careful Kudos to My Truck Budddy. They will be the first person I contact for future moving needs large or small.

These guys are amazing! They showed up 10 minutes early and asked for a run through of what was moving. I pointed out all the furniture and they were happy that we were organized and impressed we already took apart the bed. The made maybe 3 trips to the freight elevator filling it up and taking stuff down to their truck. The were very cautious of the walls and incredibly efficient. They double checked the address of the house and showed up maybe 5 minutes behind us. They came into the house and asked where the furniture should be places. I told them and with incredible efficiency they brought everything into the house. The expressed some concerns about a couch and box spring making it upstairs a narrow staircase but said they were happy to try if we would like. We aksed them to and they artfully negotiated a couch up the stairs with not an inch to spare - the put thte feet back on the couch. Unfortunately the box spring didn't fit. These guys are amazing. Top notch service, Efficient and came in wildly under budget. Told us it would about 350 to 450 and charged us 280! Use them and you won't regret it.
Description of Work: Moved my fiance's belongings from an efficiency in a high-rise apartment in Arlington to my house in Arlington. We moved most of the small stuff so we mainly had them move all the large furniture as well as about 3 or 4 large boxes.

This was our second experience with My Truck Buddy, and they did not let us down! They estimated 3-4 hours and told us the more we packed, the less time it would take for them to load, and the cheaper the end bill would be. They were right!!! Three guys loaded our POD in just about 1.5 hours, everything was packed in tight and secure! The guys were right on time and left right when they finished - no start-up or wind-down time - which was great for our busy weekend!

The movers arrived early and were extremely professional and courteous and packed up belongings carefully and professionally in both the "delivery" and the "move". Their service was outstanding and very reasonably priced.

They were punctual, efficient, friendly, worked very hard, and did no damage to the house and furniture. Cost was reasonable. We would definitely use them again and would recommend them to a friend.
Description of Work: Truck Buddy moved me and my fiancee out of a duplex and a condo in Alexandria into our new home -- two moves back to back in one day, which took approximately 6-7 hours. When we had trouble getting a couch up a flight of stairs, they suggested hoisting it up the side of the house and thru a balcony, which worked well for us.

They arrived early (calling first to make sure it was OK), and took 90 minutes to load, drive to the facility and then unload into the storage unit. They were quick and careful (one large curio cabinet involved a lot of leaning and twisting to get around a wall and under a hanging lamp, but they did it without a scratch). When they were done, instead of charging me for the 2 hours quoted in the range (I was quoted a price based on 2-3 hours of work, with a price for 2 hours and price for 3 hours), they pro-rated it for the 30 minutes they didn't need. All in all, a great service to have available, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone who needs help moving stuff around.
Description of Work: My Truck Buddy came and moved ~6 pieces of furniture, ~6 table chairs and ~24 boxes into a storage unit we had rented as we prep our house for a move.

They showed up on time, quickly and professionally packed everything, and put it exactly where we wanted it at the new place. They came in under their estimate, and they almost made moving fun. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We needed to move from Fredericksburg to Alexandria on short notice and have acquired quite a bit of stuff in the last three years. I was amazed how fast these folks got it out of my old house and in to my new one. I wanted to help, but they worked so fast and as such a good team I feared I'd get in the way. They had packing blankets, rubber straps to hold the drawers closed, even a simple tool kit for disassembling things.

They showed up five minutes early, were friendly and professional, worked hard and didn't take a single break. They did the job for the amount estimated and setting up our move was simple. Not a single thing was broken or damaged, they kept the furniture clean, didn't scuff furniture or boxes against the walls and were incredibly delicate with our fragile antique dresser. These guys are AMAZING!!!!! This is as good as movers can get.

I had most of my belongings already boxed up, but these guys did a good job of quickly moving everything out of one apt. building into another... with quirky twisted hallways and elevators at both locations. They moved a very heavy couch through a hallway that I thought might be impossible, and best of all, NOTHING was damaged, dented, scratched, broken, or left behind. I was assuming a few things might get dinged in the move, but nope, everything was delivered without incident.

5 Stars! Excellent experience from start to finish. Wanted to purchase sofas at Costco, but couldn't lift or transport them ourselves. Contacted My Trucky Buddy based on Angie's List search. From first contact with David, to handing Pete the check, everything went as smooth as can be. David was easy to talk to and gave a quote without hesitation. He wasn't put off by a possible change of meeting point either. Pete and Sean met us at Costco at opening of business. They loaded both sofas, drove them to our home, took our old furniture out of the home, brought in the new, and set everything up! They were friendly, curteous and professional at all times. We can definitely recommend this company and its staff to anyone needing a complete move or delivery like we needed. Very happy indeed.

They came in my place on time, quickly performed carrying boxes, furnotures, etc. Their communication is fantastic, they comfirmed which one goes where or not step by step. They do not waste time, kept moving & carrying during moving hours. Also their knowledge about 'moving' is great! I can see his passion to own his business. It makes me so confident to be with them.
Description of Work: One word;Awsome! I have hired some movers in past, these guys (mytruckbuddy.com) are very professional, present, clear communication, I felt good about my stressful moving. I am highly recommended these guys for your moving. Also the price is very reasonable, no hidden fees (which other movers charges fees for several different categories).

Based on an email description of the work to be performed they provided an estimated range of the cost and a day and time that they would do the job if engaged. They phoned before they arrived at the pickup site (ahead of schedule), and in transit with an estimated time of arrival. They told me what they were going to do, did it, and kept me informed of their progress - the move was flawless and the final price came in at the low end of their estimate. The party that sold the desk informed me that they were most pleasant and competent - the same conclusion I had. They are certainly my mover of choice from now on.

From a list of five Angie's List movers, my friend chose My Truck Buddy based on their low price. My Truck Buddy sent two guys who were professional and on time. They took the bed frame out without wrapping it, but wrapped it in the truck. They reassembled the bed in her bedroom in good condition. They were patient as she decided where she wanted to place the bed. She would definitely recommend them to family and friends. She thought it was a nice touch that the owners made themselves available to her by phone.

This was likely the most complicated move I've ever done. It was only furniture and like 4 boxes, so I thought it would be simple. Instead, my center support on my bed frame broke as the movers took it apart (it was light wood), a washer was lost on my sofa legs when they took those off, and they ended up having to carry my 7 ft sofa up 13 flights of stairs b/c it wouldn't fit in the elevator (I measured badly). They were very pleasant about all of these things, and incredibly apologetic for breaking my bed frame support. Frankly, I think that could have happened to anyone who didn't hold the cam in place while removing the screw, but I don't really think it should have happened. Overall, ok move. I'm not sure I'd use them again, but I'm also very sure that sofa is never leaving this condo.

What took us hours to move in ourselves two years ago, the guys from My Truck Buddy got moved out and back in in less than 4 hours. We had an awesome group moving our furniture and they did a great great job! We could not have been happier with the move. They fit everything we asked for and more into the truck and made it look easy. Fair price and great work! Would definitely recommend.
