Review Analysis
Customers pour praise on Spaeth Transfer Inc for its professional and polite staff, efficient service, careful handling of possessions, prompt moving process, and competitive rates. Out of 170 reviews, 84% of feedback is positive, making clear that Spaeth outperforms many local movers on professionalism and reliability. Customers frequently note responsive office staff, friendly crews, and meticulous attention to belongings.
Common drawbacks include instances of damage to items, difficulty reaching staff for updates, and occasional rudeness or lack of care by certain crew members. Negative feedback most often centers on damaged property and communication lapses, contrasting sharply with Spaeth’s many five-star reviews. With far more positive customer input than competing companies in the area, Spaeth stands out for delivering high-value, stress-minimizing moves but would benefit from consistent communication and care across every crew and job.
