Bradley Hoggatt, Google
They removed and disposed of unwanted items, packed, and hauled items to another state; they reassembled furniture and were easy to contact, responsive, flexible, and friendly.
Negative O'Mara Moving & Storage Inc. Reviews
Different ETAs were given, and the driver arrived more than an hour late. Our items were handled roughly; a lamp, table, and entertainment center broke, and other items were missing.
Emily Reidner, Google
The movers lost a bed-frame piece, scratched our refrigerator, and ignored box labels. A mover took an old mattress after promising to mow our lawn, but never showed up.
James McJunkin, Google
Our brand-new furniture was stored for over a year and ruined by mildew despite being advertised as climate controlled.
