My daughter needed a mover last minute. I spoke with Dave (the owner) and he was a pleasure to speak with. Professional, knowledgeable and transparent and available. His price was more than fair.
I scheduled Independent to move a very unique and specialized sculpture out of St Helena. I did the entire process with Dave from my desk in Colorado, and he took care of everything!

Independent Movers promised us a $3,000 moving charge. They subcontracted with A&M Movers, who charged us an additional $2,000. They left half of our furniture behind, and we were still waiting on the fifth day.
