Negative Northcoast Moving Inc. Reviews
Morgan Weinfurtner, Google
The move resulted in property damage, including dings in my hardwood floors and paint scraped off multiple doorways.
Their estimate was low and it ended up costing me DOUBLE for the move and storage. The owner refused to make an adjustment.
We were missing a large suitcase, clothing, shoes, a nightstand, and other items. After repeated follow-ups, they said they could not help.
Neutral Northcoast Moving Inc. Reviews
They took lunch without telling me, leaving me waiting 45 minutes. They also broke my hand railing while moving a headboard and did not repair it.
Yelp
The movers handled my belongings carefully, but I was billed for 30 minutes when they were lost, in addition to a separate transit-time fee.
