Negative Father & Son Moving & Storage Reviews
"Furniture was damaged, complaint handling was poor — took months for a response and only offered $18 for repairs. Also, movers smelled of marijuana and were careless. Would never use again."
Yelp
"The company grossly lowballed the estimate. We were quoted one price, but it increased by $700 on moving day. Management said this happens all the time. Not recommended."
Yelp
"Damaged several pieces of furniture, didn't assemble beds as promised, and ignored requests for compensation. Office never returned our calls about reimbursement. Service and support were severely lacking."
Neutral Father & Son Moving & Storage Reviews
"Communication was quick and estimate competitive. Movers repeatedly mentioned tips, left without assembling a desk, and bed frame screws were stripped. I'd be more diligent if hiring them again."
Yelp
"Fast and easy move; friendly staff. Boxes marked fragile were still stacked carelessly, resulting in broken glasses. Furniture was not wrapped, sustaining some damage. Would use again, but more proactive about packing."
Yelp
"Although the move went smoothly, handling of a broken item was poorly managed. They eventually responded, but claim amount was disappointing. Would use them again, but would keep careful backup of any broken items."
