Customer Highlights

Jun 12, 2026

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.

NA Nathan Horne 2 Bedroom Home Read

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.

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.

They helped us do our move quickly

I decided to go with Howards Van Line after reading a few solid reviews, and I’m glad I did. I had two large sofas, a glass table, and a ton of kitchenware to move. The team was quick, careful, and didn’t ask a million questions; they just got it done. Everything arrived safely, and I was able to unpack without any surprises.

I would not use this service again.

The process felt unorganized and lacked proper coordination. Customer support was slow to respond, and the delays created unnecessary stress. I would not use this service again.

Everything went smoothly

I decided to go with Howards Van Line for my apartment move after seeing a few solid recommendations online. I had a mix of packed boxes, loose items, and a heavy dresser that I couldn’t get down the stairs myself. The team was friendly, worked fast, and didn’t leave a single mark on the walls. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for an easier move.

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.

Friendly and helpful guys! Tremendous

We downsized from a house to a condo and had to decide what came with us and what went to storage. The movers were patient while we sorted in real time and didn’t pressure us to rush. They helped label everything properly and moved items to both locations without confusion. That level of coordination saved us from a lot of post-move stress. Everything felt in control.

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.

Great value! Headache free!

I needed to move a bedroom set and some large plants from my apartment to a friend's place across town. It wasn't a big job, but the team still took their time wrapping the dresser drawers and making sure the plants stayed upright. They even helped reposition a few things once we got there. The entire process felt respectful and straightforward, even though it was a relatively small move.
