Description of Work: Full move on 4BR house. Packing included. The packing job was well done, nothing was broken or damaged. 4 guys during load and unload, which sped things up. Couple items were almost forgotten during load.

Description of Work: I was moving most of my goods from one house to another. I had a piano, so they sent three movers, which increased the per hour cost, but probably did not increase the overall cost. The movers were professional and careful. I was very happy.

Description of Work: Within a day of calling, Mad City Moving came out to move a spinet piano up a difficult staircase from the cellar to the 1st floor. The 3 men were polite, on time and considerate of my hardwood floors. In no time at all the piano was sitting in its new location. The price was exactly what I was quoted by the very cheerful scheduler. I would definitely use Mad City again.

Description of Work: I moved across town from a house to a 2-bedroom condo and needed help with most of the packing and moving. I asked them for a quote and modified it afterward, and the response was fast in both cases. On the day, the crew of three showed up on time but had not been told that packing was required and did not have boxes and packing materials, so we had to wait for these. The move itself went pretty smoothly at the source. En route to the new place, they took a somewhat longer lunch than the bill indicated. At the new place, there were a few hitches - at one point they got stuck outside the building and took their time to find a way back in - so the move-in took maybe 1.5 hours longer than expected. I didn't complain because I thought the overall bill was still quite reasonable, the crew was pleasant, and there was no significant damage in the move. I'd use them again.

Description of Work: For my move I contacted several moving companies, I read a great review on Angie's list for this provider and because of a coupon and price decided to choose MadCity Moving. I will say the promptness of email requests and communications were not the best. I got far more information and the agents seemed far more knowledgeable at the other company. | |The moving team arrived close to the original time but got stuck in traffic, I of course had to fit the bill for this. The move went relatively quickly and painlessly. The two gentleman that did the move were friendly enough and definitely seemed to be used to moving. My main gripe is that several large pieces of furniture (desk and tv) stand were damaged during the move. The TV stand was bent which I was able to fix, but I couldn't take it apart any further. The desk, I did not take apart because I assumed it would be moved by both individuals. It was moved by one person, as he drug it across the floor one of the sides were completely torn apart (granted it was MDF) but still. When I went to communicate this with the office staff I was summarily dismissed stating that their paperwork calls out if their is damage to MDF furniture they are not held liable if it was not taken apart. I argued back and was offered a measly 25 dollar refund which I did not take. | |I would say if you read all documentation and make absolute sure you are in the clear they are a decent enough company to work for, however, if you experience any kind of issue they are not going to help you recover from it.

Description of Work: The company moved a piano from a friend's house to mine, and everything about the process was easy ... from setting up the move date to working with the movers. The three movers arrived early, were professional and experienced, were very careful with the piano and moved it into place without any issues. We were very pleased with how it all went, and we were done with the entire move within about a half hour! I'd use Mad City Moving again; they'd be my first call.

I called based on reviews online. I spoke with a friendly gentlemen who tried to help on the phone until we both agreed we would be better off with a site visit to provide an estimate. The gentleman to provide the estimate arrived on time, was quite congenial, helped me work out the schedule and sent me the official estimate the next morning. The estimator kindly dropped by the packing materials early to allow me time to complete some more packing on my own. There was some confusion the day of the packing about scheduling. I thought we had set a specific afternoon start with an option for me to push it back depending on how much I had accomplished in the previous days. I called to push it back and was told that we had no specific time and the movers would arrive whenever they finished their first task of the day which upset my coordinated schedule for the day quite a bit. In the end they actually arrived at the originally scheduled time but the communication issue and the general demeanor of the dispatcher when I called about the schedule was off-putting. The movers packed efficiently though they didn't use the original manufacturer's packaging materials that I requested they use for some of my dishes. They moved swiftly and were clearly focused on completing the task -- in no way "killing time" as some might have. They arrived promptly the next morning at the scheduled time and went straight to work packing and moving the boxes and furniture. I was somewhat surprised to discover that these movers don't blanket furniture prior to moving, but prefer to blanket and protect in the truck. Granted much of my furniture was already quite "experienced" but the stairwell and hallway were less so. They did blanket a couple of special pieces as I requested but I was somewhat surprised to have to ask at this price point. That and a failure to do a final walkthrough to identify the two drawers and cabinet that had been missed account for the B in quality. They moved furniture and boxes into my new home efficiently and only a few small boxes were misplaced. (probably fewer than could be expected with the number of items being moved) They finished well under the original time estimate saving me a good sum and were friendly throughout the process.

The move was set up a couple weeks in advance. The movers were supposed to show up between 12 and 3, depending on the prior move. I had my truck ready at noon and never received a phone call regarding an approximate arrival time. I finally called the office and was told the movers would be an hour late-- it would have been nice to know that before 2:30. I later found out that 4 moves had been scheduled for that afternoon - all using the same 2 guys. Luckily, the men worked hard and were able to complete the move in the time allotted (1 1/2 hours).

Wonderfully. This was a two day move that took about 9 hours total. The first day they had 2 guys who were very nice. They laid down runners (because we moved when there was snow on the ground) - and did their best not to get the carpets muddied. The second day we had 3 guys, which increased the overall hourly cost, but was worth it because the off-load went so quick.
Description of Work: They moved us from the east side of town to a suburb. We had runners placed on the carpets so they would not get dirty. They were on time and efficient. They boxed up an antique mirror and packaged mattresses so they would not get damaged.

First of all, we moved on the coldest day of the year. I DID offer to change the date to a more temperate winter day but the owner wouldn't have it. Plus we had more boxes of books than estimated. So the three guys came and - well, I can imagine they weren't very happy, but they handled everything professionally, quickly, and with a great sense of humor. We gave them the biggest tip that we could afford, and I wish it could have been more.
Description of Work: Move from 3 bedroom flat to 3 bedroom house - only 6 blocks away - but in horrible winter conditions. They estimated $970, and it came in at 1020.00 even given sub-zero temps, ice, and snow. The guys were amazing.

The move was easily arranged from the first estimate through some rescheduling on our part to completing the job in good time. The two moving men were prompt, friendly, careful, professional and made the process enjoyable. The office staff were also accommodating, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.

It went pretty well. The 3 men showed up on time & worked pretty hard through the day. We have very heavy Amish-made solid wood furniture. All furniture was wrapped & protected. They laid down runners at the doorways. It was a little more than I was expecting, but the guys did a pretty good job. The only complaint is 1 of the guys dropped a box on our basement steps & dented the floor. We also ordered boxes. When I called to inquire about them, Roger came out & dropped them off himself within the hour.
Description of Work: We had 3 men come & move our furniture & boxes from a 4-bedroom house to another 4-bedroom house. We did the packing.

The estimate was less than $1200, but the bill was over $1800. They were supposed to show up at 8:00am, but they showed up at 9:00am. When they did show up, they were professional, fast, careful, and courteous.
