Negative The Armstrong Company Reviews
Ariel Myers, Google
Boxes were thrown throughout the home, labels were inconsistent, and items were scattered inside boxes after the move.
jill j., Yelp
The buffet and chair were damaged during the move. The crated buffet was placed in a container that was too small, damaging a corner and three doors. The claim process was also an awful experience.
I was missing a box labeled TV. Trash was left in my yard, the couch could not be brought inside, and promised unpacking was not completed.
