The actual movers were excellent. They were on time and pleasant. The guys managing the company (who were not on site for the move) changed the price after the work was done. The first guy I spoke to to set up the move quoted me one price and the guy I talked to on the day of my move upped the price. I had never signed a contract before hand eventhough he said I did. We finally came to an agreement on price that was reasonable but more than I was quoted. If I use them again, I will get the price in writing and have them sign it before any work is scheduled.

Excellent. Their workmen came on time, were courteous and professional, wrapped and packed everything carefully, and worked hard and efficiently. Everything was moved, unpacked, and set up smoothly with no damage, on time and on budget.

Very poor pre-move coordination. Calls, emails, & text would go unanswered. Packers showed up 2-1/2 hours after the scheduled time. No communication. Packers left important items unpacked (found out about this after the move, when I had to go to the old address to retrieve them). Fragile boxes were placed upside down at new location. Damage to the new property from improper handling of the furniture move-in. Many boxes ended up in the wrong room, poorly labeled, making it extremely hard to locate items. Small items surrounded by large stacks of boxes, making them invisible/inaccessible.

Our records indicate that You signed off on the completion of packing and the moving services without having any issue. During the entire process of the move, there were no issues reported to the company. All the alleged complaints are just now being documented publicly. Giving us chance to assist and solve the matters. Thanks for using GJ Moving and Storage. To the Moving Public: Feel free to contact us directly to discuss this review in more detail.

This company was unbelievable. We had a good-sized job, on a warm day and they managed it so well and professionally. Lots of heavy items and they were incredibly organized. It matters that this is a family company with a team that works together all the time. They were the best. And the price was incredible.Definitely consider hiring!!

Response from Great Job Moving and Storage
Thanks for the review. What is neglected to be brought up here is that cthe move was completed time and within budget, and that the Claims process was followed according to the terms and conditions of the contract that [Member Name Removed] acknowledged, agreed, and executed prior to the services beginning. Its apparent by giving such a large tip to our crew, that he was happy with the services he received, but has decided to unjustly review our Company publicly based on his dis-satisfaction of the furniture repair. .. Customer elected for the limited liability coverage of $.60 cents per pound, per article up to $50 per article prior to the relocation. Having moved so many times, [Member Name Removed] knows that this is the Industry standard, and that many times, additional coverage's are made available to supplement this limited coverage. [Member Name Removed] did not pursue any additional options that were made available and proceeded to accept the terms as set forth. Once the accident occurred, GJ admitted fault to damaging the dresser immediately. At that time we initiated our Claims process, which is stated in the contract could take up to 6-8 weeks to complete. Customer wanted reimbursed $2,000, as that was the cost of the dresser when he made the purchase. As we all know, that is not how insurance policies work. In fact, had [Member Name Removed] understood the Policy he singed up for, Company was only legally responsible for the maximum of $50.00. Needless to say, we did not even think about offering that as a solution, so we went above and beyond and offered a repair of the unit. During this process, Our Claims Department followed every protocol set forth in the Contract.. We arranged the pick up, repair, and re delivery of the unit to his residence. The repair was completed at all well-known repair shop locally and we can say with confidence was done professionally and as well as possible. It is not our fault [Member Name Removed] is not happy with the repair. He is more than welcome to seek out additional repairs if it wasn't completed to his satisfaction.

This was a challenging move because the timetable was fluid, the starting hospital was doing substantial renovations including around the loading dock, there are numerous security barriers, the contents were transported from one to two offices and the property being moved was atypical. GJ Moving just smiled, packed it all up and moved the stuff. They were ahead of schedule and under budget at the end.

Mo (the Foreman) and his crew dropped our Arhaus dresser down the stairs. Prior to starting the work, I specifically told Mo that the Master Bedroom set was the most important items we had and to be extra careful. As soon as it was unwrapped at the new place, there was very obvious and visible damage both on the exterior and structural. Mo assured me that this was 100% there fault and that they would take care of it - not to worry. I took him at his word and even gave him a nice tip ($200) for all their work assuming that they were people of their word. As soon as they left, they stopped caring. It took a dozen emails with Alexander Yakimovich and 6 weeks for them to come pick up the dresser saying they would fix it. It took another 6 weeks and another dozen emails for them to return it and they only fixed one of the 3 major external issues (and poorly). As soon as they delivered it I pointed it out that they hand't fixed it and there answer was "that wasn't us - sorry". When I reached out to Alexander Yakimovich again, he said he didn't bother to check the work and he could send the repair guy to our house. Seeing what a second rate job they had already done, I asked them to replace the dresser that they dropped down the stairs and he refused. Having moved about a dozen times in the last decade for work, I've never seen a moving company show such disregard for their mistakes. All movers make mistakes - but they own it and make you whole. These guys don't! Stay away from these movers!

The move went very well. There are many large movers who will try to bundle your move into very large trucks and they may take up to a 7 days or more before your furniture and belongs arrive. However, G&J left the next morning and arrived in NC the next day which worked out well for us. The did have a little problem with one of their trucks and had to unload all of our things into another truck but they contacted us and let us know early that they were going to be late arriving and informed us of the approximate arrival time. They also advised us when they were within 30 minutes of arrival. All of their people worked very hard, they showed up on time and took extremely good care of moving boxes and our furniture was wrapped in blankets or plastic wrap as needed. The movers were nice, very professional and extremely polite. It all went extremely well and we were very pleased. Moving out of state can be very expensive but we thought the price charged by G&J was reasonable and they did an excellent job. The only comment that I have is that there was a maintenance issue with the truck which had all of our belongs packed on it but in all honesty they discovered the problem prior to leaving for NC which would have been really bad had they broke down on the road. Lastly, I know its not required but I was disappointed that the company did not follow up to make sure that everything had been fulfilled satisfactorily. However, all in all, I would use this company again and I would highly recommend their services.

Gave us a 9-11 window. Didn't show until noon after I called office at 11 asking where they were. Their response, "they didn't dispatch anyone yet". I don't think a single large furniture item came out unscathed. Our bar is chipped. Master bed headboard was scrapped along the truck so large scratches on left and right sides. Guest bed can't be put back together fully because they stripped a cam screw out of its holding and broke some wooden pegs. They didn't pad the walls and floors like they said they would. So we had a few chipped doorways and dinged up hallway walls. Estimated 8 hours but took 12. Moving during hot day was understandable but two of the 4 movers took breaks which should have been deducted from time. Will not use again. Have had plenty of movers before this and this is the first move coming out with so many dings and scrapes.

Hello Angie’s List Members We would like to address his response with some additional information that has been left out. The original estimate for this members move was 7-9 hours of labor with a 1 hour travel fee. The actual job took our four man crew 10 hours to complete , plus the travel fee. So in all, the move took an additional 1 hour Above the estimate, not four hrs as stated. Furthermore, that additional time was largely due to fact that there was still packing happening when the team arrived at the job. It is the Customers responsibility to be packed prior to pick up, otherwise it may result in the day be longer. This is described in the contract that all of our clients acknowledge. Our dispatchers work hard to give the most clear and concise arrival times. We give an Estimated time of arrival between 9am-11 am. “Estimated” meaning not a guarantee of arrival time. Due to unknown traffic conditions and traffic in this area we are unable to be precise. We updated this Cusotmer as accurately and timely as possible. Our company received no information regarding any damages to articles or dwellings as a result of the move. We have a clear Claim Policy that clients can exercise in the event of damages occurring. This policy is also part of the executed contract between Company and Customer. Had we been informed of such incidents we could have resolved them within the terms of the acting agreement. Should any Angie’s List members require more information regarding this review, or any others on our profile, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

The first sofa pick up went well but when it was time to get the second sofa and chair is when the problem started. The driver Curtis literally push a brand new white leather sofa across the wooden truck floor without putting any protective cloth down to protect the bottom of the sofa. So now the bottom and ends of my brand new white sofa is scratched and now damaged. I filed a claim with Johnson moving and storage but have not heard anything yet. I will post the final outcome.

The crew of 3 were all very polite. They worked efficiently despite the heat & humidity and the amount of heavy boxes that went to the 3rd floor. They didn't scratch the walls or ding any furniture--theu did a great job wrapping everything up in moving blankets. One box of computer equipment was dropped on the asphalt-- that is the only ding against the service. I signed verifying the start time and again the stop time so the timing was honest and fair. Despite the dropped computer parts I would recommend them and use them again in the future.

Move was great! Packing not as good. We are repeat customers. I moved from my townhouse into a single-family home about 2 years ago. i did all the packing myself and took the boxes over in a U-haul. I hired G&J Movers to move the furniture. They did a *fabulous* job. No damage to either house. So, when I moved again two weeks ago (into a larger house), I hired them again -- this time to pack and move. Again, they were excellent movers -- not damage to either house or to any of the furniture. They are not, however, very good packers. We are a military family and have moved 11 times in the past 25 years, so we have a lot of experience with packers & movers. The first thing that bothered me was that the packers are the same people as the movers. Professional packers have a different skillset than professional movers. I have two criticisms: 1) efficiency/excess packing material, and 2) disorganization/labeling. 1) - Efficiency: Professional packers can get my entire china and crystal into 3 dish packs -- it took this crew 6. They wrap everything in an excess of paper and put LOTS of wadded up paper on the bottom and between each layer. The good news is, nothing broke -- and this is the most important. The bad news is that it took them about 33% longer than it should have and they used about 33% more materials than they should have. This means the cost of my pack was about 33% more than it should have, as well. 2) Organization - When I unloaded the kitchen boxes, the coffee pot (which was altogether the morning of the pack) was disassembled and located in three different boxes. My knife block was in a book box labeled "canned" goods. Items that were in one drawer wound up in several boxes. Items that were in one cabinet wound up in several boxes. And everything from the kitchen was labeled "Kitchen - very fragile." It made it hard to find the *essential* items in order to get the kitchen to function quickly. In the office, we left the necessary cables with the monitors, but the wound up in different boxes. So - everything made it to the new house, and it all got there safely, but I feel like I overpaid for the pack because the packers weren't trained properly, and it was hard to unpack because things were disorganized and boxes were not labeled in a way that was useful. So - bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend G&J for moving services, but I would consider hiring "real" trained packers for the pack portion of your move.
