Positive Square Cow Reviews
"Square Cow accommodated our move on short notice. An accurate estimate was given for the time needed. Everything was moved and placed with care, no damage to any items. Very happy with the team that helped us, and will gladly use Square Cow’s services again!"
"I could not recommend Square Cow more. They were incredible! Very communicative, professional and careful with our belongings. This is the second time I’ve used their services and I will most definitely be using them for any other future moves."
"They have moved me three times and each time service was excellent! This last move was extensive and they never stopped pushing until it was all done. These are the only movers I will ever use."
Negative Square Cow Reviews
"Avoid This Moving Company - They Intentionally Waste Time to Charge Extra. What should have taken a few hours turned into an agonizing eight-hour ordeal. The movers moved slowly, weren't professional, and even damaged some belongings."
Yelp
"Used Square Cow Moovers (Katy) back in Sept. Zero professionalism, sense of urgency, or attention to detail. Crew was slow, had to be supervised, and my nightstand was damaged. I would not use this company again."
"When you managed to find these at a good price, and a month later your moving company wasn't 'gentle' with your boxes. Picture frames broken, furniture scratched, boxes stacked poorly, many items damaged. I do NOT recommend Square Cow Movers."
Neutral Square Cow Reviews
"The two guys that came were very nice. I appreciate the care they attempted to make while moving my furniture. They did leave multiple gashes in the walls and should have wrapped the furniture. Finished on time with breaks."
Yelp
"A two bedroom apartment took 7 hours to move less than 5 miles away. Will not use or recommend Square Cow. The owner reached out and made it right later."
"The team was #38 with Steve, Tre and Christian. Overall Square Cow Movers does a good job. Some complaints: loose packing of electronics, crushed book boxes, and charges starting from office not arrival. Satisfactory work but a bit rushed."
