Neutral Rent The Help Reviews
Yelp
"Fine movers, but they didn't do a good job estimating how long it would take. Ended up taking MUCH longer than anticipated. I'd probably recommend looking for another moving company."
"They were very polite but seemed very hesitant. It took a lot longer to complete the move and more than expected was left undone. I was very disappointed. I have never had so much break in a move."
"It was the hottest day in August. One member of the team was about 30 minutes late which made us late getting started. The guys were pleasant and worked extremely hard. Later it seemed things were rushed, and some furniture was scratched."
