Negative Pauly's Movers Reviews
Robert Tanner, Google
Quote was for two hours, but the move took seven; the price almost quadrupled. The inexperienced crew damaged our carpet and wall. I would not recommend this company.
Morgan Moss, Google
Quoted a reasonable price but charged triple. Much of our furniture was not moved, and our white couch was left filthy. Clear and honest communication was critical, but missing.
Hilary Stallings, Google
Quoted $1,300; final bill was $3,000 with undisclosed fees. They said they would drive off with my belongings if I did not pay before unloading.

Our summary of Pauly's Movers
Strong service, shaky billing: Pauly’s Movers earns high marks for its people but serious concern over cost control and follow-through. The 108 pieces of customer feedback include 86 positive responses (79.6%), 22 negative responses (20.4%), and no neutral 3-star responses. Positive input repeatedly praises consistent follow-up, clear communication, flexible scheduling, and crews that are polite, friendly, efficient, and careful with belongings. Several customers said Pauly’s offered a better price than competing quotes or became their preferred mover. Negative feedback points to surprise fees, bills far above estimates, payment demands before unloading, missed appointments, incomplete work, damaged property, and dismissive responses. This makes the company’s hands-on service compare well with other movers, while its pricing clarity and problem resolution appear less dependable than competitors.
