Customer Highlights

May 18, 2026

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.

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.

A Stress-Free Move with Outstanding Service

We had a same-building move from the 3rd floor to the 7th. With the elevator reserved from 2–4pm, the crew moved a king bed, 10 boxes, and two plants without leaving any wall marks. Thanks, Howards Van Line

Awesome!

I only needed help moving furniture upstairs after buying a new bedroom set. The movers carried each piece without bumping into walls or railings. They assembled the bed frame and placed the dresser exactly where I wanted. They even took the packaging with them, so I didn’t have to deal with the mess. It was a small job for them, but they still treated it with care and respect.

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.

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.

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.

Fast, Friendly, and Fantastic!

James joked about my endless shoe boxes, and it actually made me laugh. It turned the move into something lighter. The team maintained a friendly atmosphere while working hard, and I really appreciated that.

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.

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.
