"I can't say enough how great it was to work with Designed to Move. Our furniture was moved with not one scratch and we had so much fun with the movers as well! They even came in under the quoted price!"
Negative Designed To Move Reviews
"We had an upright freezer and a refrigerator that had to be moved... After the move to our new home was complete and DTM left, we realized the door to the refrigerator was chipped and had a significant dent in it. The next day, we went back to the home we moved from and found extensive damage to the basement stairwell wall and door trim."
"DTW Designed To Move moved us on December 27, 2023. What a disaster. First off, the two young men that moved us were not professional movers, just two young kids with no job skill whatsoever. They were very careless and caused quite a bit of damage to many pieces of our furniture."
Yelp
"The crew showed up half an hour late, and damaged a significant portion of my belongings. I ended up with a dented stainless steel fridge door, broken granite, big scratch on a wood desk, veneer peeled on TV stand, and a dented armoire corner... the company refused to acknowledge that they did the damage."
Neutral Designed To Move Reviews
"The DTM crew was great once they got started, but they were over 4 hours late from the original estimate. The move itself was smooth, but I was disappointed with the delay and the lack of communication."
Yelp
"Eh, are there any good movers? I liked the reviews of this company, so I hired them for a short local move. One of the movers they sent was injured and wearing a back brace. It took longer than it should have and there was cosmetic damage and some cracked shelves in my fridge. Other than this, they were prompt, courteous, and polite."
Yelp
"One item did get damaged; Paris was wheeling a heavy antique bookcase by himself and it fell... The movers were professional and helpful, but management should still have the courtesy to follow up."
