Great communication from start to finish. Friendly, hard working crew. Everything arrived in perfect condition. I would recommend!
Ken gave an estimate for our move and listened to my concerns. We came in under the quoted price. Every person was polite and happy to help. Highly recommend.
All parts of the move were outstanding. Communication throughout both my moves was excellent. The cost was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend Lincoln.
Sample negative reviews
These movers canceled my move without an apology 2 weeks before the date. Cited scheduling conflicts with no recourse or respect for my plans.
Movers broke bolts on my kids' bunk bed and didn't mention it. They tried to hide the damage by placing the bed against the wall.
Overbilled by a lot. They tried to bill me for extra hours and fees, and I had to fight to get the bill reduced. Movers were good, but admin was terrible.
