Negative Chicago Crescent Movers Reviews
Miriam Tejeda, Google
They arrived late, spent half the job on smoke breaks, and pressed me for a tip. My bed showed up dirty because they did not wrap it properly.
Jennifer W., Yelp
They damaged every piece of furniture I have, dragged my mattress through mud, and damaged walls. They also underbid the move and then charged double at the end.
Tc, Google
They dropped two pieces of furniture, breaking a nightstand, cracking two floorboards, denting a wall, and chipping the paint. No one followed up on my damage claim.
Neutral Chicago Crescent Movers Reviews
Epharata Palmer, Google
The other two workers were kind, but Mario had an unprofessional attitude, proposed high wrapping charges, and disputed the balance. The company resolved the issue after I called.
Veronica C., Yelp
They moved everything on time and safely, but my two-wheel dolly was missing afterward. I called more than once and am still waiting for a response.
Syed Aiyaz A., Yelp
The movers were good, but one worker repeatedly checked his phone and they lacked the right tools. I also had to clarify charges for tape and shrink wrap.
