Fantastic team. Tony went above and beyond to help me with my move and changes. He communicates promptly, is extremely professional and will work with you to make sure your job gets done. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend him for your moving needs.

The movers were friendly, respectful, and hardworking. They were knowledgeable about packing our truck and strapping everything down, and nothing was damaged during our move. Only downside was that I did not get a confirmation phone call the day before, and they were late arriving to our home, but besides those two things I highly recommend Square-One. I would use them again.

We had a last minute job and David was super responsive and moved around a job to squeeze us in. They were very efficient and careful with our furniture. We wish we had known they did long distance moves, we would have used them for everything. Highly recommended!!!

Noah and his team are excellent. They work rapidly. They will do as much or as little packing as you need. His team communicates well, they are careful, friendly, efficient, and well coordinated. They crushed packing 2 full PODS in a few house and it was an incredible game of Tetris. Highly recommend.

I booked Mcleod for both packing and loading for our move, on separate days during the same week. For packing - I would give them a 3 out of 5 - they didn't confirm the time beforehand, arrived hours late, didn't bring materials they said they would (shrink wrap), packed carefully but not quickly, and I needed to personally put in extra time after to finish. That being said, they mostly did a solid job on what they packed. For loading - they were excellent - 5 out of 5 - came on time, were prepared, had all the right equipment, dollies, shrink wrap - and did a fast and professional job, even getting everything into one less container pod than I expected.

— Sam G.

The movers that came to our house were amazing! They were courteous and professional. All our furniture was supposed to go into a POD but the people from POD could not deliver due to power lines. I told the movers that there was a slight change and that we would be loading a truck and unloading. I had contracted them for two hours and they got it done! Nothing was scratched or broken. All went well from the house to the truck to storage. Thank you! I will hire them again when we have to get our stuff out of storage and our remodel is finished. Thanks so much! Kind regards, Dr. Cruz

2 very friendly and efficient guys. Our yard is entirely gravel so they couldn’t use a dolly and did it all by hand, and so fast. Really great service!!

I had a great experience using this company. Kevin called the day before to make sure we were both aligned and prepared for the day of the movers coming. The movers came on time. They were quick, helpful, and friendly. They were "masters of Tetris" and able to fit everything into the container. I had been worried it wouldn't fit, but they made it happen easily. They work expediently and professionally. I was very happy with the service from start to finish. Taj and Omar were my movers and definitely made it a stress free moving day. I would highly recommend using this company!
