Negative Summit Moving & Storage Reviews
Lashae Allgood, Google
The movers were nice, but they damaged several items and left behind several loads of boxes. When I reported this, the office manager refused to call me back.
Salina Johnson, Google
We had a very simple local move. The TV went into the truck fine but came out with the screen caved in. Summit offered us $21.
Jeanne Thomarios, Google
The move itself was fine, but two irreplaceable pieces—a carved wood bench and a stone statue—were missing. The manager would not call me back.
