Negative StairHopper Movers Reviews

The physical moving is good. But brace yourself if you need to deal with the office staff. The movers showed up at 10 PM after repeated updates that they were on the way.
Yelp
We were quoted one number and charged double. The movers slowed down and used more materials than necessary. Half a box was stuffed with paper.
Chad Papineau, Google
The actual move was fine, but the total cost was over twice the quote. The movers refused to use our materials and charged for their supplies and travel time.
