Customer Highlights

Mar 19, 2026

They carefully wrapped all our furniture

My move involved a lot of steep stairs and a very narrow hallway that made carrying my heavy oak dresser nearly impossible. I was stressed about the walls getting scuffed up, but the movers used floor runners and corner guards to protect everything. Dustin was very professional and kept the crew moving at a steady pace all afternoon. Go ahead and book them if you have a tricky layout in your home.

A Dream Team.

Every heavy sofa cushion landed in the new sunroom perfectly because these movers worked with such speed. The boxes had basically taken over the room before, and I was still hoping they'd move themselves. I can finally relax and enjoy the autumn leaves from my porch.

extremely helpful and pleasant

Five stars is the least I can give these guys, honestly. My move involved a two-story house with a lot of heavy furniture, including a piano and a treadmill. I called three different companies, and Howards Van Line was the only one that did not try to upsell me on stuff I did not need. On move day, they brought eight furniture pads just for the piano alone. John wrapped it up like it was going on a museum tour. They got the treadmill down the basement stairs at the new house without scratching the walls, which I did not think was possible. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and they worked from 8 in the morning until almost 4 in the afternoon without rushing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Professionalism at Its Best

Yesterday was moving day for me, and it actually went better than I expected. The crew from Howards Van Line got right into the job and kept things moving without turning it into a long day.

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.
