Negative Your Hometown Mover Reviews
Yelp
"Our large dining table was to be dismantled and reassembled, but it was transported incorrectly and damaged. After months, little response and no action on our claim. Do your research before hiring."
"I was quoted one price and charged over $400 more on move day. Owner was extremely rude when I called to discuss. Would not recommend this company.
"Crew was friendly but there was damage to furniture and the house. Claims company was hard to deal with and move was billed for more hours than worked. No compensation or resolution provided."
Neutral Your Hometown Mover Reviews
"Not a great experience, but Jake (the owner) did compensate me for it. If I can give advice, only contract a moving company with a flat rate and in-person estimate."
"They did a good job but they also didn't. for example took items we didn't want, some larger items were partly damaged. But overall it was fine."
Yelp
"It's 8:20 pm on the day of my scheduled move and I have not heard a peep from anyone. Owner apologized, explained a system glitch and refunded my deposit after I rescheduled."
