Review Analysis
Expect a moving service that receives high marks for professionalism, careful handling, and strong communication. Out of 112 pieces of feedback, 83% praised the friendly crews, safe packing, and fast, smooth moves. Customers highlight reliable staff who take care with belongings and respect homes.
Satisfied clients also mention prompt scheduling and accurate quotes, a rarity in the moving industry. Despite these strengths, some feedback cites damaged items, higher-than-expected costs, and unprofessional or dismissive responses to complaints. A few users express frustration over repairs, estimate overages, and unresolved damage claims. Compared to other movers, Blake & Sons stands out for competence but should address issue resolution and pricing transparency to rival top national companies.
