Customer Highlights

Jun 08, 2026

Terrible Service.

The move took much longer than promised, which caused unnecessary stress. I had difficulty getting updates, and the overall coordination could have been much better.

Very frustrating experience.

Several boxes were handled carelessly, and a few belongings arrived damaged. The crew seemed rushed and paid little attention to fragile items. Very frustrating experience.

10/10 would use again.

10/10 would use again. We were moving my daughter into a 3rd-floor apartment with no elevator. The guys from M Company carried every box and piece of furniture up all those stairs. They never slowed down or complained. They even helped her unpack the heaviest boxes. The whole job took about 5 hours, which was less than they quoted.

They Were Mind Blowing

We moved a pool table, a dartboard, and a bar set into our new basement. It took careful lifting and measuring to fit everything downstairs. The movers laughed, stayed patient, and finished perfectly. Hire them.

Simple, Seamless and Satisfactory!!!

Helping my grandmother meant carrying quilts, a cedar chest, and her old sewing machine. The movers slowed down, let her direct where things should go, and gave her time. That patience meant everything to her.

Overall, not very reliable.

Communication was difficult from the beginning. Calls and messages were not returned promptly, and I had trouble getting updates about my move. Overall, not very reliable.

Thanks guys. You are awesome.

I moved my queen bed, dresser, and nightstands from an apartment to a townhouse. The movers wrapped the dresser drawers so nothing slipped out. Everything was unloaded smoothly and put right into the bedroom. Wonderful Company to use During a Typical Stressful Time.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything went during my move. The crew arrived right on time and knew exactly what to do from the start. They handled parking, paperwork, and unloading without needing any help from me. Everything was done quietly and efficiently. It’s rare to see that kind of preparation and teamwork these days.

No complaints at all.

I highly recommend asking for Zachary if you book here. We had a tricky move with a narrow basement staircase. He measured everything first and had a plan. He guided his team perfectly, getting our freezer and washing machine up without a hitch. They were done in under 4 hours.

Excellent bargain

I moved my workshop tools and supplies from my garage to a shared commercial space. It was mostly heavy equipment and oddly shaped shelves. The crew handled it all like they’d done it a hundred times. They didn’t just throw things into the truck; they loaded it logically and made unloading quick. I was able to get set up the same day, which I didn’t expect.
