They performed exactly as they said, showed up on time and did the job in a very efficient manner. Very nice friendly people, even remembered that they had been to our home 2 years ago.

They did a great job! It was definitely worth it, seeing them do the job was impressive. I never would have been able to do it myself. It was great.

John and his team were wonderful! They were pleasant to work with, worked hard and were very respectful of my possessions. I plan on having them back to move some heavy pieces of furniture now that I am more settled. Alto Moving also moved some large plants that another much larger and more well-established firm told me they could not move because they could not secure them in their truck! John and his team got the plants moved with no problem whatsoever. I highly recommend Alto Moving for your moving needs, large or small!

John and his crew were the ultimate professionals. They took extra care of all of my furniture. They were neat, clean and on time. They bid 50% less than their competitors and they did an amazing job!

On time (even a bit early), ready to go to work, got right in there without wasting time. The three movers were all polite, courteous, and very careful with furniture and newly painted walls. Clean up was excellent. Having had some mediocre experiences in the past, Alto made a high stress event as painless as they could. They lived up to the assurances John gave us at the bidding stage.

AWESOME! I had a very bad experience with another moving company when I moved my residence a few years back so I was a little leery hiring another mover. But these guys were awesome! They were professional, courteous, efficient, friendly and lower-priced than other companies. I retired and had to move much of my office furniture and books to my home. They packed my many books and various other things and rearranged my home office in order to accommodate the new file cabinets and bookcases. They adeptly disconnected and then reconnected all of my computer equipment as part of this process. I had three items that had been sitting at home in boxes which needed assembling, including a challenging aquarium stand, and they assembled them all. They did a great job and removed all of the packaging for me. Finally, they took books, furniture and assorted other items to the donation center for me. Overall, I was extremely pleased and would not hesitate to use them again or refer others to them.

John and the Alto team were great. I was moving into a house post-construction and my dates changed three times due to snowmaggedon. The team was flexible and patient with my changes. The team fully packed my two bedroom house, which I was dividing into storage and my new house, and they handled the complexity remarkably well. Then they moved me & helped me unpack and removed the boxes and papers which was a huge help. Thanks, Alto! I'm hoping not to have to move again any time soon, but when I do, I know who to call!

John and co did a great job overall. They were punctual on move day and John was very responsive from inception. The team was equipped with all the necessities for a smooth process and was receptive to guidance where needed. Will definitely use them again.

It went well, called and let me know when they would arrive morning of. Helped me finish packing (far more detailed than I did). They then moved the items to my 3rd story condo including hauling my couch over my porch. Will hire again if needed!

John and his crew are amazing! John responded to my request for quote with a phone call at dinner time. I asked if we could talk later and he agreed to call me back at 8:30 the next morning. He called as promised, answered all my questions, sent me a written quote, and followed through on every commitment after that. His crew of two were not only polite and helpful, but they are deceptively strong! Our new bedroom set is massive and two of them carefully carried each piece up the stairs. We went over our original quote because we saw what they could do and asked them to do extra moving/lifting projects at both ends of the trip. They happily performed every task we requested and did them efficiently. These guys will not waste your time/money. It was a pleasure doing business with John and his crew! We highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Very large/heavy bedroom set moved about 50 miles.

It went really well. They stayed until it was done. I asked for them to help me for a certain amount of hours and it went over that time frame and they stayed. There was no damage and they were professional in the way they packed my belongings as well as broke down my items and then put them back up for me.
