The movers were so kind to my mom and handled everything with white glove care. Set up was perfect! Pure professionalism, with an extra dose of friendliness!
Negative Sherman Moving & Storage Reviews
No written itemized explanation for nearly $1,500 increase in amount billed compared to quote. Mileage was computed at $4,320 for quote yet increased to $5,001.60 for bill.
After inspection, we found many pieces of furniture scratched badly. Rather than taking one day to move us, they took one and a half days, raising the cost.
Employees smoke and drink on the job and don't care if they break your belongings. They are extremely inappropriate on the job. I would not recommend or trust them.

The three stars are for the people who moved us. They were great. A light switch and wood banister got scratched. The company never explained the claim process, and I received no timely response.
