"I had several pieces of furniture damaged with scratches, gouges and dented. Their solution of coming to my house with a marker to 'fix it' wasn't good enough. Insurance only covered major damage."
Yelp
"Unlike Jim V I had the misfortune of using this company; they scratched my wood floor, nicked my walls, damaged two bureaus. When I mentioned my issues, Peter said I should have expected damage."
"Emailed them twice, no response. 5/24 Followed up by phone, Diana was apologetic. Been having issues with addresses on their website."
Sample neutral reviews
"Muy cordiales con la información que te proporcionan aunque me parece que los precios de sus cuentas son un poco altas"
