Amazing service providers packed the truck carefully and fully. When we needed another truck, the owner added only $300 despite nearly twice the work. Everyone made the move convenient and efficient.
Patriot saved the day by fitting my exact time slot at one of the lowest quotes. The two movers arrived on time, worked quickly, and finished my one-bedroom move in less than four hours.

Negative Patriot Moving, Inc. Reviews
Mechelle Silas, Google
I still haven't recovered missing items and will have to replace them. I will never use them again.
Honest Girl, Google
They quoted under $1,000 by phone, then raised the price to $1,500 after appraising my furniture. The pricing felt unreasonable and based on furniture quality, not quantity.
Amy A., Yelp
I was quoted $650 for packing and moving, then charged over $1,000. They also broke items and offered excuses when I reported the damage.
