Read More We own a significant collection of vintage and exotic musical instruments — a 1930s upright bass, several pre-war guitars, two vintage keyboard instruments, and a collection of world percussion instruments from various countries. These are not just instruments — they are cultural artifacts with irreplaceable value. Moving from Corpus Christi, TX to Elkin, NC required a company willing to treat them that way. Jaime consulted with a vintage instrument specialist before the move and built specific handling protocols for each piece. The pre-war guitars were humidity-monitored during transport. The vintage bass was cradled in custom foam. The world percussion instruments were individually wrapped and cataloged. Every single piece arrived in Elkin, NC in perfect condition. Total cost was $12,400. Jaime's dedication to protecting what is irreplaceable is extraordinary.

Read More We were a multi-generational household — my parents, my wife and me, and our two teenagers — all sharing a large home in Kyle, TX that we were splitting into two separate households in Tracy, CA. This was genuinely complex: we needed to divide shared belongings fairly, keep certain sentimental items clearly attributed, and deliver to two different addresses on the same day. Philip created a detailed split plan. Every shared item was pre-labeled with its destination household before moving day. His trucks staged at the two delivery addresses in sequence and his crew never mixed a single item. Both households were set up the same evening. My parents were in their new place, we were in ours, and nobody argued about the coffee table. Total cost was $8,900 for the full two-destination move. Philip made an inherently complicated family situation completely clean.

Read More We were moving from Brookeville, MD to Hedgesville, WV and needed to combine that move with a stop to pick up furniture from my wife's parents' home en route — they were giving us pieces they no longer needed. Philip built the route stop into our plan, adjusted the truck capacity to accommodate the additional items, and handled the elderly couple at the pickup with remarkable warmth and patience. My in-laws were so touched by how Philip and his crew treated their belongings that they asked for his card for when they eventually need to downsize. That kind of impression — on people who weren't even paying customers — tells you everything about the character of this company. Total cost was $10,200 for the combined move. A Plus Moving and Storage goes the extra mile because that's who they are.

Read More We moved from Oxnard, CA to Universal City, TX at the same time we were welcoming a new puppy into our family — an 8-week-old Golden Retriever who had just come home. The chaos of moving day with an untrained puppy should have been a disaster. Jaime arrived fully prepared. He designated one of his crew members as the unofficial puppy wrangler for the day — keeping the dog entertained, safe, and away from open doors and moving equipment. The puppy was never underfoot and never stressed. By the time the trucks were unloaded, the dog had four new best friends in Jaime's crew and was exhausted from playing. Moving day was not only smooth but genuinely fun. Total cost was $10,100. Jaime takes the whole family picture into account — fur babies included.

Read More We have a large aquarium hobby — six tanks total, including a 200-gallon reef tank that has been five years in the making. Moving from Buffalo, NY to Sewickley, PA required extraordinary planning around the fish and corals. Chris spent two hours on the phone with me before the move understanding exactly what was involved. He arranged for the fish to be transferred professionally the day before the move, coordinated the tank breakdown with our reef specialist, and had the tanks transported in a humidity-controlled section of the truck. The corals survived the move and the tanks were set up and cycling within 48 hours of delivery. Every single fish made it. Total cost was $11,400. Chris has seen it all and handles it all. There is nothing this company won't figure out how to do right.

Read More We have a large collection of antique clocks — over forty, ranging from mantel clocks to a grandfather clock to several wall pieces with complex pendulum mechanisms. Moving these from Folsom, CA to Somerset, NJ required understanding how to properly prepare a clock for transport — pendulums need to be secured, movements need to be isolated from vibration, and delicate mechanisms need proper padding. Chris researched clock-specific moving protocols and brought a horological specialist in to consult on the grandfather clock. Every clock was prepared, padded, and transported with extraordinary care. Every clock arrived ticking. Total cost was $11,600. Chris brings the right expertise to whatever your collection requires. There is no special item he won't figure out how to move properly.

Read More My daughter is on the autism spectrum and changes in environment and routine are very hard for her. Moving from Suitland, MD to Reidsville, NC required real thought about how to make this transition as predictable and calm as possible. Jerry listened carefully when I explained her situation. He suggested we photograph her room in detail before packing so we could recreate it exactly at the new house. His crew packed her room last and unloaded it first, recreating the layout as closely as possible based on the photos. We also kept her most important comfort items — a few stuffed animals and her weighted blanket — in our car rather than the truck so she had them throughout the day. Jerry thought of this before I did. Total cost was $8,200. Jerry's care for every member of the family, not just the adults, is remarkable.

Read More My husband was unexpectedly laid off right before our planned move from Katy, TX to Lorton, VA, which meant our budget became much tighter than expected. I called A Plus Moving and Storage and was honest about our situation. Philip didn't just offer sympathy — he proactively looked at our inventory, suggested where we could trim services without sacrificing protection of our most valuable items, and rebuilt the quote around our revised budget. He never once made us feel embarrassed about the change in circumstances. The move was executed perfectly within the new budget. Our final cost was $7,400, down significantly from the original quote, with no reduction in professionalism or care. Philip treated us with dignity throughout. That means more than I can express. A Plus Moving and Storage is a company with real values.

Read More We were purchasing a historic home in New Orleans, LA from Colorado Springs, CO — a 1920s Craftsman that needed some work — while simultaneously selling our current home. The timing was extremely tight and involved a two-week overlap where we needed everything in storage. John created a seamless move-in/store/deliver plan that covered both scenarios. He moved us out of our home in Colorado Springs, CO, stored everything in A Plus's climate-controlled facility for exactly fourteen days, and then delivered to the Craftsman the day after closing. He coordinated the delivery timing with our contractor so the furniture arrived after the first round of work was complete. Nothing was stored in a work zone. Total cost was $12,100. John's ability to navigate complex real estate scenarios with moving logistics is genuinely unparalleled. A Plus Moving and Storage deserves every five-star review they have earned.

Read More My wife is an interior designer and our home reflects that — every room is carefully considered, furniture is often custom or antique, and nothing is IKEA. Moving from Sacramento, CA to Little Rock, AR required a level of care and aesthetic awareness that most moving companies are simply not prepared for. Philip came for a consultation before the move and walked through the house with the kind of attention you'd expect from a professional curator. He asked about the provenance of specific pieces, noted fragile finishes, and had custom wrap ordered for three pieces with unusual surfaces. On moving day his crew was impeccably careful — slow and methodical with the high-value items, efficient with the standard ones. My wife, who is not easy to impress, told me afterward that she felt truly respected as a client. Total cost was $13,800. A Plus Moving and Storage is the standard for high-care residential moving.
