Years in Business: 26

987 SE 11th Pl, Hialeah, FL 33010 US

Standout service gets moving day done right, according to 279 pieces of customer feedback for All My Sons Moving & Storage. Around 70% praised the companyโ€™s efficient, professional, and polite staff. Movers earned high marks for being fast, handling items carefully, and communicating clearly. Many customers described the moving process as quick and less stressful thanks to hardworking teams who wrapped and protected belongings thoroughly. On the downside, more than a quarter of reviewers criticized unexpectedly high costs and hidden fees, often discovering final bills that far exceeded initial estimates. Delayed arrivals and billing ambiguity were also recurring frustrations. Compared to most competitors, All My Sons shines when it comes to mover professionalism and speedy, careful handling but falls short on transparent pricing and reliability for scheduled timing. Most clients were satisfied with the physical move, but strong warnings about costs mean those with tighter budgets or strict timelines should proceed with caution.

moveBuddha logo iconrating starstarstarstarstar4.62 / 5

DOT #: 2527384

Years in Business: 9

1521 NW 82nd Ave, Doral, FL 33126 US

Customers speak loudly about their moves with Two Men and a Truckโ€”most praise the professionalism, careful handling, efficient service, and quick process. Many noted friendly, respectful staff and strong communication from start to finish, highlighting fast and attentive moving crews who made relocation less stressful. Yet, more than half the feedback signals serious issues, especially damaged or lost items, difficulty getting complaints resolved, and surprise charges. Negative input focuses on property being broken and finding it nearly impossible to receive fair compensation. Among all reviews analyzed, 41.5% were positive, out of a total of 41 inputs considered. This company stands out for efficiency and etiquette compared to some movers, but the frequency of major damage and slow complaint resolution places it below competitors for reliability and trust.

475 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131 US

Feedback for Pro Movers Miami is overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with 89% of customers giving positive remarks across 273 reviews. Most people rave about efficient service, friendly and professional staff, careful handling of belongings, swift moving processes, and strong communication. This moving company consistently earns praise for handling stressful moves with skill, punctual arrival, and maintaining competitive rates. On the downside, the main criticisms include damaged items, surprise fees, and delays, typically arising from less routine moves or subcontracted partners. Compared to other movers, Pro Movers Miami stands out for dependability, attentiveness, and price transparency, but occasional service lapsesโ€”especially with long-distance movesโ€”mean caution is advisable for complex jobs. The high number of satisfied customers reflects a reliable choice for local moves, with issues in negative feedback largely related to atypical incidents or higher expectations for long-haul and specialty jobs.

Moving Apt Inc.

moveBuddha logo iconrating starstarstarstarstar4.52 / 5

DOT #: 2247863

Years in Business: 13

175 SW 7th St STE 1811, Miami, FL 33130 US

Buyer beware: most feedback for Moving Apt Inc. highlights a pattern of steep extra charges, damaged or missing items, long delivery delays, and weak customer service after booking. Of 394 reviews examined, only 36% were positive. Customers who left favorable input praised the professionalism of staff, careful handling, efficient service, clear communication, and affordable rates, especially when moves proceeded as planned. These reviews often mentioned friendly movers and fair costs compared to larger companies. In contrast, the vast majority described unexpected charges, property damage, and unreachable representativesโ€”issues more common here than with traditional carriers. Unclear pricing and hard-to-resolve problems make for a far riskier experience than with highly-rated, full-service movers. Anyone considering Moving Apt should scrutinize their policies and be ready for variable costs after booking.
