Customer Highlights

Mar 26, 2026

This is going to be the only moving company we'll ever use!

We moved on a Sunday because that was the only day that worked for us. They arrived in the morning and started right away. I did not feel like I had to stand over them or guide every step. They kept things moving and stayed consistent through the day. By late afternoon, we were already settling into the new place. It felt like a solid move without any unnecessary hassle.

Above and Beyond

I need to mention how clean they left everything. After loading the truck, they swept the garage and the driveway at my old house. At the new place, they put down floor protectors the whole way through. When they left, there wasn't a single scuff mark or piece of packing tape on the floor. That attention to detail is rare.

Highly recommend this moving crew.

Highly recommend this moving crew. I had a bunch of musical instruments, including a keyboard and speakers. They wrapped everything tightly and secured it in the truck. No bumps or marks when it arrived. You can tell they know what they're doing.

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.

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.

Unsatisfied customer SERVICE

In terms of moving, this had to be the worst experience. My furniture appeared to have been tossed down a flight of stairs and was filthy, and all of my belongings were shattered or destroyed. My dressers had dents and scratches on them. Despite paying for a full service, none of my goods were reassembled. There are no tools with the movers. They damaged over $3,000 worth of my belongings after paying $3,000 to transport them. My crates were all open, and the contents were flung about as if they were playing soccer. I had the impression that I was in a punked episode.

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.

I hope improvements are made in the future.

The overall experience was disappointing. Customer service was not as responsive as expected, and several issues remained unresolved. I hope improvements are made in the future.

The experience was disappointing.

I expected a smoother process, but there were several issues along the way. Customer support was difficult to reach, and concerns were not addressed promptly. The experience was disappointing.

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.
