Expert understanding of the mechanics involved in moving my 250-year-old four-poster bed. The men listened to my concerns and handled each piece very carefully.

They damaged brand new patio furniture; a mover's touch-up paint caused further damage, and the insurance claim to replace it was denied.
Lawson Sisters, Google
They completely blocked my driveway. When I asked them to move, they were rude and acted as if I were inconveniencing them.
Betsy Howard, Google
I was told the hourly rate was $747 portal to portal, but drive time from their office was included. The move cost almost twice what I expected.
