"Every employee was friendly, hard working and respectful of us and all of our items that they packed and moved. I hope I get the chance to recommend them to friends and family in the future. Oh, and their pricing was very reasonable."
Sample negative reviews
Phyllis Doherty, Google
"This move was a disaster. Furniture was badly scraped, boxes crushed, glassware broken, a metal plant/lamp stand missing, and a red velvet couch ruined. The special TV box, clearly marked as TV FRAGILE, appeared to have been dragged across a concrete floor."
Jessie Anderson, Google
"Don't store your things with them, they will go missing. Many items were not redelivered to us, apparently they 'disappeared' the two months they were in storage. We just got a notice that they acknowledge there are missing things they just aren't going to do anything."
Dave S., Google
"Packing crew was great, but the rest of the move process was not. Overall the communication from the company, particularly when the driver would arrive for load-up, was poor which caused us significant scheduling headaches. Several pieces of furniture were damaged or destroyed due to mishandling."
Sample neutral reviews
Ryan Knorr, Google
"The pick up and packing went very smooth and the crew was great. The unpacking and unloading was not as smooth. The lead guy had an attitude with my wife while we were doing the final walk through and things were not put back together correctly."
Chanalyn Avila, Google
"We recently moved from Parker into storage and from storage to Franktown. Movers were great! However, did not have a good experience with our coordinator, Belinda. There was never a call asking how everything went, I asked her to return a call after the move was complete and she has not done that, move was July 1."
Darren Ray, Google
"Overall it was a good experience. There are a lot of factors to take into account and a whole bunch that come out of nowhere. I think the biggest issue was the estimating of weight(which is a big part of cost) that we tried to explain multiple times was just going way over what the actual weight would be."
