Bob Deli, Google
The same crew moved us out of our existing house and into our new location. They arrived on time and loaded the truck in two hours with no damage to the property or items moved.
Negative Sheridan Brothers Moving Reviews
Kay Dee, Google
The virtual walk thru of my house was not accurate as the truck was too small. I ordered a mattress cover, but it wasn’t used, and now there is a water stain on my mattress.
John C, Google
Many of our belongings are now unaccounted for or were destroyed during our move. The final bill was nearly $800 higher than the quote. Sheridan Brothers Moving has been completely unresponsive to our claims of damages and lost items.
Kristie Pfaff, Google
The three men who showed up complained the entire time moving my belongings. They did not load the truck all the way full, took many breaks and did not finish moving my belongings.
Neutral Sheridan Brothers Moving Reviews
Patricia Erhardt, Google
Movers did not protect flooring or footwear adequately and had to be asked to do the minimal amount they did.
Mark Dunshie, Google
Biggest issue was 2 of the 3 guys were arguing most of the time they were loading the truck. Dealt with a few glass things broken and my desk had a few of the brackets bent too.
Barney Abramson, Google
There was a major lack of communication. I never received notifications about my appointment, the cost, or updates on when the crew would arrive. To the crew’s credit, they did an excellent job; nothing was broken or damaged.
