Excellent experience with Sven! Great price and very fast and efficient move. One bedroom was completed in around 2 hours from start to finish. They were professional from first contact through completion.

Grace Gao, Google
They were polite and communicated throughout. When we had more boxes and stairs than quoted, they reasonably adjusted the fees. They were experienced and took precautions with our furniture.
Negative Sven Moving Reviews
Levent Kiran, Google
The movers were rude and condescending and abruptly walked off the job without explanation, leaving us scrambling to find alternate movers. This was extremely unprofessional.
Nkem 'NK' Ujuagu, Google
The crew handled my items recklessly, broke my coffee table and expensive headboard, and ignored fragile labels. Sven refused to file an insurance claim, so I would avoid this company.
shiloh .., Yelp
I was originally quoted a $75 stair fee, but the movers demanded $300 at the end. The office promised a call back, but no one contacted me.
Neutral Sven Moving Reviews
Michelle Y., Yelp
They were much cheaper than other movers, fast, and very responsive before the move. They did not disclose that they would not disassemble my desk, leaving me to handle it.
R C., Yelp
The move was completed, but the crew complained throughout, failed to wrap most furniture, forgot an item, and charged double the quoted stair fee.
Elly M., Yelp
They were prompt and efficient, but one mover was rude, several items broke, and promised reassembly was not completed.
