They were flexible with some last minute changes, always professional and quick to answer emails/phone calls etc. The crew was phenomenal -very hard workers, quick but careful, and courteous!

They quoted me for a certain amount of time, but because they finished sooner than expected, I ended up paying substantially less!

Negative Fresh Start-The Moving Crew Reviews

Yelp

Crew was late and hungover. My BF and I ended up doing almost half the moving ourselves. Other items were damaged, and the team came in well over their estimate.

Yelp

Two of my three floor lamps got damaged, a platform bed that was in like new condition has scratches, and they forgot a book shelf. I found the management less than apologetic.

Stephanie Savi, Google

Staff contacted me several hours after the move asking for more money due to their error, even though I had already paid and signed a completed form.
