Review Analysis
Customers say Coffey Bros Moving consistently delivers fast, professional moves, with many noting movers arrived on time, handled furniture carefully, and made the experience less stressful. Over 85% of feedback highlights courteous, efficient crews who work quickly and communicate well. People appreciate the staff’s professionalism, skill, and how belongings and homes are treated with care.
Customers also call out the company’s helpful attitude and ability to handle challenging moves, like stairs or heavy items. Yet, complaints about final bills are common—13.6% of feedback warns of higher-than-expected costs, surprise charges, and mandatory packing material fees or extended hourly rates. Several reviews detail price estimates doubling or tripling, with some reporting being unable to reclaim belongings until paying unexpectedly elevated totals. A portion of customers report problems resolving complaints about damages or claims. While Coffey Bros scores higher than many competitors for staff quality and move efficiency, pricing transparency and claims handling are clear drawbacks. Out of 3,903 reviews, 85% were positive, with consistent praise for the movers themselves. Customers needing affordable and predictable pricing may want to clarify all terms up front—and check recent feedback about billing and complaint handling before booking.
