These guys were on time and moved fast.. but were cautious with what they were moving.. They were very pleasant even tho it was hot and there was a flight of stairs. Your interaction and conversation with her about her cats as you worked truly helped.
These guys were great. Moved everything quickly and safely. Thank you from The Tea Cupboard.
