I wish there were some information on the move as to why you weren't completely satisfied. I read every review and take the feedback to QA my teams. I truly apologize for you not being 100% satisfied. Rick

Description of Work: We had changed the location for delivery with one of the owners prior to pick up and told the truck driver before we left the home that we were going to the storage unit but he went to the rental house, not the storage unit. Several boxes were damaged but items inside were ok. We have used this moving company 3 times with very little problem but not sure about using again.

No excuses here, however, changing addresses for the men to go to can be a problem sometimes. Administrative issues aren't our strongpoint, but I assure you...Moving is. :-)

Description of Work: Crew of five men moved all our boxes, furniture, etc. from second floor apartment with lots of stairs in three hours. Unloading at our new place, approximately 25 min. away, took less than three hours. The crew worked like "clockwork" and were punctual, professional, and where very reasonable in cost. I would definitely use this company again in the future. |I. Hinkle

Description of Work: The move went very well until a few weeks after I was settled. I realized they broke the leg off my buffet table and the table was just left sitting on the broken leg. I understand accidents happen but it was noticeable that they did this there was even a part of the leg support missing so they had to notice and did not say a word. I complained to the company and was told to email my complaint with pictures. I did email my complaint the very same day and it has been 2 weeks without even a word to me. There was no follow up with anything. I am very disappointed because my piece of furniture is no longer made and can not be replaced.

All furniture can be fixed, however I have not received any pictures or e-mail. The men have told me there was nothing wrong with her piece. Usually what happens is the customer tries to move a piece or adjust it's position later when they realize they want it a few feet away. Then they slide it and legs catch on the carpet. I just find it odd that 2-3 weeks later she moves it and the leg was broken. I'll fix it anyway, because that's how we roll.:)

Description of Work: Four men arrived at the appointed time; asked for an overview of what needed to be done; and set to work. They were extremely polite and professional and had a good sense of humor. Their problem-solving skills were extraordinary, as were their abilities to stay calm and collected when things didn't go as planned. I have experienced many a move with a variety of companies. This, by far, was the best experience. I highly recommend this company.

Description of Work: They were great. Reasonably priced and they did an excellent job. No problems and I have had many moves during my time as a military wife and after and had some bad problems before. Not only no problems with these guys, this move was actually easy and pleasant. I should mention that I have a piano that had to go upstairs. I will recommend them to everyone.

Description of Work: 3 guys came and moved several rooms of heavy furniture to our new home. These guys were courteous, professional, and helpful. They were very careful not to bump walls in my new home (new construction). They impressively lifted our front loader washer and dryer and maneuvered it up our narrow staircase without damaging or bumping anything. These guys are top notch...and I am super picky. Would definitely hire them again.

Description of Work: Excellent 3-man crew. I got the time wrong and they adjusted from morning to afternoon start with no problem. Even called when they were on the way from earlier job. Very productive, excellent job packing the truck with no damage to furniture on a two location load, one location offload. Driver skilled at backing big truck through narrow double gate to detached garage. Would have a beer with these guys any time.

Generally the experience was good. We had scheduled the move for the afternoon but they called us in the morning asking if they could start early. While it made us feel a bit rushed, it ended up working out fine. Our move was right on the estimate however we ended up moving some items ourselves that we had planned to have them pack and move (we were only moving eight blocks and decided some items would be easier to just move in our cars instead of packing up) and we received no "credit" for items they did not have to move because we had moved them - they just stick to the estimate. So all in all the move seemed a bit expensive (the entire process, including packing the kitchen, took just over 3 hours) but the quality was good and the movers were friendly.
Description of Work: Moved selected items and full kitchen from a partially furnished three bedroom into an unfurnished rental. They packed all kitchen breakables and moved all pre-packed boxes and furniture. In addition, they picked up some other furniture we had bought on the way to our move.

They are charging $1800 for both packing and moving my 18,00sq ft house with detach one and half garage full of stuff and attach garage full of stuff. We are moving 3 miles down the road to another house with a similar configuration. So far whenever I contacted the guys they called me back almost immediately. Rick one of the company owners came out to give me quote. It was fast and efficient. I don?t have anything bad to say about them at this point. Now I am waiting on my move date to see how everything goes. They gave me the quote on the 14th of October and they will be doing the work on 26th and 27th of October. They were within one minute of the time they said they would be here to give the estimate. Overall my experience with them has been a positive one.

I called Absolute on Wed and they were able to move me on Friday! Probably because everything was already packed. The guys called the night before and the morning of the move to confirm, arrived promptly, moved me quickly, and came in on the exact time of the estimate.
Description of Work: Moved me from an apartment in Virginia Beach and a storage room in Norfolk to Cape Charles.

There was some poor communication in the beginning --- no response to 2 emails----but because they were so highly rated, I decided to try again by phone. Response was within 12 hours (I called on Sunday afternoon) and the job was complete by the following Saturday morning! I am very satisfied!

I called on Tuesday and immediately reached 1 of the owners. The move was scheduled for the next afternoon within a 2 hour window. Despite getting lost (our house is difficult to find), they arrived within the 2 hour window, went right to work, and got the job done quickly and efficiently. James and Jerry were pleasant and professional.
Description of Work: Two Absolute employees spent 2+ hours unloading from a large attic 15+ years of accumulated junk, including 9 boxes of business papers and other heavy items. The attic was accessible only by dropdown ladder, and the man in the attic could not stand straight in most parts. They even returned to the attic some of the things we immediately decided to keep.

They showed up on time. No one smoked. They had enough people to get the work done efficiently. They were professional and polite. They did put some of the furniture together incorrectly but I don't think they knew the difference.

Excellent. They showed up on time and completed the move in a timely manner. They were extremely careful with a very large family heirloom (hallway mirror) that I was particularly concerned about, and nothing was broken or damaged in the move. Their employees are very hard working and professional.
Description of Work: Absolute Moving moved me from an upper level condo to a single family home. They delivered boxes to my condo, coordinated the move date (which changed several times) and performed the move.

They were punctual, arrived on time with the right equipment to do the job. They were professional. They worked nonstop until the job was accomplished. They completed the work in the time they had estimated it would take. I was very pleased with them and will definitely use them again when I have need of a mover!
