Negative Gentry Moving & Storage Reviews
William Barry, Google
Three minutes before 9, I was told my job was indefinitely delayed. At 11 a.m. there was no show or contact, and they arrived shortly before 2.
D K, Google
The day of the move a truck from a trash removal company showed up with three men. They admitted they didn’t work for Gentry, and the estimate would not be met.
Jim Collin, Google
The estimator never did a visual review. We received a bill for $8,000 for work originally quoted at $4,000, and a broken TV was compensated at $100.
Neutral Gentry Moving & Storage Reviews
Susan Coletta, Google
The movers arrived at 10:30 a.m. after we were told 8–8:30, and said they had overslept. We later found a broken vase and missing kitchen items, with no follow-up.
Kris Turgeon, Google
Gentry did a nice job and nothing was damaged, but the movers lacked room in the truck and left us to move several items ourselves.
