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."
