Review Analysis
Blankenship Movers, Inc. earns high marks from 408 customer entries, with about 84% reflecting satisfied feedback. Clients often single out efficient service, careful handling, and skilled, professional staff as standout qualities. Many appreciated quick, transparent processes and services meeting or exceeding expectations, especially for challenging or complex moves.
Issues reported center on property or item damage, estimates falling short of final bills, and complaints not always handled well by management. While most moves proceed without major problems and rates are generally more affordable than larger competitors, some customers experienced significant cost overruns or unresolved damages. Compared with other movers, Blankenship stands out for dependable, speedy teams and clear pricing but falls short on consistency when problems arise, pricing accuracy, and complaint resolution. Most customers would recommend them for value and efficiency but advise confirming details and insurance in advance.
