Mike S., Yelp
They quoted me $2500 and charged me $6500. They damaged furniture and refused to compensate when I bought their insurance. Items were missing.
Yelp
We were initially quoted approximately $3,600. The final cost increased to over $13,000, and they refused to unload until we paid. They broke our storm door and bed frame.
Yelp
The estimate was off by half, and I paid double what I was quoted. Leonard and Miguel were personable and hardworking, but customer service was terrible.

Overall ok experience. Some of our items were damaged and I paid a lot more than what was quoted.

The movers were very friendly, professional, and wrapped all my furniture. The estimate I received was about $350 lower than what I paid.

Great service, quickly packed and wrapped the apartment and got everything up the elevator. Lowered to 3 stars because they could not provide an adequate receipt for payment.
