Recent reviews
Foreman Juan Vivanco and helpers were amazing to work with. Fast and efficient, yet extremely careful with everything. Not a single thing was broken—they didn’t even scuff a wall.
Very impressed with the service and team we had! We had an 1 bedroom empty in 40 minutes! Not because they just threw everything into a bin, but because they were efficient and experienced!

Michelle Burke, Google
What really impressed me was how organized and efficient they were—everything from wrapping furniture to loading the truck was done with so much care. They even helped me with a couple of last-minute packing tasks I hadn’t gotten to.
Negative Liffey Van Lines, Inc. Reviews
Peter Embiricos, Google
Horrible experience with this company. They were negligent packing a glass top, as a result it shattered. Management refused to acknowledge their mistake and to make us whole. Never even apologized.
Yelp
They lost a favorite table in my move. I stored books and more with them for six months and all my books in cartons had mold, so the storage could not possibly be temperature controlled.
Yelp
I paid quite a bit higher than competitors with expectations of service and quality. My costs ended up significantly higher, and this lack of transparency was unacceptable.
