We had to move in a hurry, and Sean helped make it happen. The crew was flexible, careful, and good at communication. The cost was less than expected.
Negative Johnson & Daly Moving and Storage Reviews
Yelp
Johnson and Daly lost our boxes, mixed up their labels, and damaged a new fire pit. A year later, we were still waiting for answers and received only a small offer.
Yelp
They scratched our safe, promised to replace it, and still had not done so after a year. Storage boxes were mislabeled, and our TV parts and bed legs were missing.
Yelp
On moving day, the crew arrived an hour late without notice. There was idle time, unfinished packing, and a final bill above the quote.
Neutral Johnson & Daly Moving and Storage Reviews
Yelp
Johnson and Daly organized my office move well, but the administrator forgot our changed meeting location. A street-parking insurance rule was not explained in advance. The supervisor still placed everything correctly.
Lois W., Yelp
The truck was too small, and I later found damage to furniture. The supervisor rushed the move and had an attitude. The business refunded an overcharge and addressed one damaged table.
