Great price! Easy to schedule on short notice. I am so glad I chose Dominate Moving Co. My two movers Christian and Brian were awesome! They were fast, efficient, careful, and very polite throughout the whole process.
Negative Dominant Moving Company Reviews
Chris De la Casas, Google
Our TV frame was bent during the move. The damage was not brought to our attention by the crew, and we were billed for about an hour while they took lunch between locations.
Mariza Lockhart, Google
One mover was over an hour late, and they took their sweet time, charging over $600 for a one-bedroom move. A promised reimbursement check never arrived, and customer support stopped answering.
Jo A, Google
They disassembled several pieces of furniture and lost the parts, broke a mirror, and damaged several lamp shades. They arrived without tools, extending the move, and I had to supply equipment.
Neutral Dominant Moving Company Reviews
Alec, Google
The movers arrived late and without the promised boxes, so I had to pack the kitchen myself. The crew was respectful, careful, and fast, but the front-office problems hurt the experience.
Amanda Eastabrooks, Google
Two of the three movers were professional and hardworking, but scheduling involved miscommunication and one mover complained and worked slowly. Tip amounts should be given to each worker directly.
Yelp
The movers were kind and professional, but a glass carboy shattered, the mattress got dirt and snags, and the move took 5.5 hours instead of the expected three.
