Review Analysis

Choosing Fallon Moving & Storage means meeting a team that often delivers quick, careful moves with professional, polite crews. Customers commend their efficient service, clear communication, and the attention paid to valuables during the moving process.

Claims of scratched furniture, broken items, and compensation issues are recurring themes in complaints. While many customers find Fallon’s pricing transparent and the service dependable, a notable portion express concern about communication gaps and the accuracy of time and cost estimates.

This mix places Fallon above many moving companies for service quality and courteous staff, but those considering Fallon should stay alert to potential risks regarding item safety and keep communication clear throughout their move.
