Review Analysis
Customers rave about Dunmar Moving Systems' professional staff, efficient service, careful handling of belongings, and prompt communication. Most feedback highlights quick, well-organized moves with polite movers who treat property respectfully. Clients describe fast response times and consistent performance, often recommending the company for both local and long-distance moves.
Despite this strong track record, some customers report serious issues: several cite damaged items or property, delays in delivery, and poor follow-up on insurance claims or complaints. Communication lapses and unexpected costs also appear in dissatisfied input. With over 80% positive feedback out of 74 reviews, Dunmar stands out for reliability and care compared to many moving companies, but recurring reports of damage and delayed resolutions suggest extra caution may be warranted with valuable or fragile items.

Should you negotiate with Roanoke movers?toggle

While haggling over moving costs isn't typically effective, there are still ways to save. Many companies offer ongoing moving discounts for groups like seniors, military personnel, and students, as well as special offers for early-bird reservations.

Getting quotes from multiple companies will also allow you to inquire about price matching. Some movers will honor lower quotes from competitors, so it doesn’t hurt to ask — and be ready to show estimates from other companies.

How do I choose a Roanoke moving company?toggle

To choose the best moving company for you, start by researching reputable movers in Roanoke. You'll want to be on the lookout for companies with mostly positive customer reviews, valid licenses, and comprehensive insurance to ensure your belongings are protected. Beyond that, you’ll want to make sure they can handle the type of move you need.

Ask for detailed moving quotes from at least three companies to compare services, pricing, and availability. A reliable Roanoke moving company will be one that offers transparent pricing, excellent communication, and a proven track record of successful moves.
