Customer Highlights

May 18, 2026

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 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.

CH Charlie Butler 2 Bedroom Home Read

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.

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.

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.

Problem Solver

I moved from one office suite to another in the same building. The movers carried desks, chairs, and filing cabinets down the hall and into the new unit. Each cabinet was handled upright so none of the drawers slid out. They placed the desks along the walls as I asked and set the chairs around the tables. The whole job was done before lunchtime.

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.

Wow, these guys are great; thanks a lot!

I can honestly say this was the smoothest move I've had. Two movers carried a bed, a sofa, and around 15 boxes to my new apartment across town. They didn't waste any time but still asked me where each box should go. My glass coffee table was wrapped perfectly and came out without a mark. The entire move was done in just under three hours. That's the kind of speed I appreciate.

Faultless service!

The movers carried gym equipment for me, including a treadmill and weight rack. They knew exactly how to break down the pieces, carry them out, and rebuild them in the new house. Everything was tightened and secure when they finished. It saved me hours of work and heavy lifting. Watching them move that treadmill up the stairs was impressive. If I ever need to move bulky items again, I’ll be calling them first.

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.
