Different Movers gave me the best quote for my small local move. Jose and his partner were friendly, finished in under three hours, and caused no damage.

They were understanding and flexible when we rescheduled our move four times. The team was professional, effective, polite, and placed blankets down and removed their shoes.
Negative Different Movers Reviews
Yelp
The team damaged my hardwood floor, broke an armoire door, and ripped my couch. They also charged a $300 heavy-lifting fee before removing it.
The company arrived three hours late, gave no follow-up until I asked, and tried to charge an extra hour. Several pieces of furniture were damaged during transport.
The guy in the grey tank top had the worst attitude. He kept saying he was hungry and made snide comments. The other two movers were fine.
Neutral Different Movers Reviews
Yelp
The crew was very careful and professional, but the in-home estimate excluded many items. I needed a 12-foot truck and two trips, so I recommend an all-inclusive price.
Yelp
The two movers worked quickly, but one spent at least 20 minutes in the bathroom. We were still charged the full amount and stopped the move when extra time became unaffordable.
They were not very careful or punctual.
