Their price was good, the crew arrived on time, worked quickly, and completed my move without a single issue. I would use them again.
Javon was helpful and responsive, and communication stayed strong with the office and driver. Everything arrived undamaged and furniture was reassembled.
Negative Hoover the Mover Reviews
Yelp
The move left scratched items, a broken kitchen table and chairs, lost hardware, smoky belongings, and an unresolved repair months later. Management took weeks to respond.
The packing crew was understaffed and unskilled. Items were thrown in without packing or bracing, many were damaged, and several belongings were left behind despite room remaining.
Our belongings arrived nearly a week late, and several valuable boxes were missing. The manager promised to help but stopped returning calls, leaving us without a clear resolution.
Neutral Hoover the Mover Reviews
Never used their services; I was there for a freight pickup that would not fit in my Sprinter van.
