Great job, super organized, hard working and efficient! We were loading up 2 relocubes and they knew how to fill them up well and strap them together. Good communication beforehand, they arrived early but they asked in advance. Finished the job in just under 2 hours. I highly recommend.

Oh these guys are GREAT! We have a lot of stuff and are about to do a cross country move. They were in charge of loading our 1 of 2 Upack trucks. They exceeded our expectations. They’re EXCELLENT at loading the truck to maximize our space. We fit more in the truck than expected. They also listened to our request to leave lighter stuff behind if it doesn’t fit, since only one or two family members will be able to load the next truck. Completely satisfied! Thank you!!!

Super fast! The team was on time, they moved our 2 bedroom furniture 30 mins away in exactly 3 hours, absolutely perfect timing! Super fast, very careful with important items, and also packed loose items we weren’t able to get in boxes. This is our second move with Alfa, they were consistently great both times. Highly recommend the team for moving needs!

Antoine Lewis and his partner were fantastic to work with. They were punctual, careful with my furnishings and worked quickly to move all the items into a POD storage unit. I can't believe how they made everything fit securely. They're practically magicians. They took extra care with all the boxes filled with fragile items. Definitely will use again. These guys make moving items an art form!

The two movers showed up on time and were well prepared for the job. They unloaded a 20' Uhaul into a storage unit space so quickly, I was extremely impressed with their efficiency as it took 6 of my friends and I 3 hours to load the Uhaul in the first place. The movers were polite and respectful of everything they moved. They were even understanding about me frequently stopping them because I needed certain items kept close to the door. Overall, they did a great job and I look forward to hiring them again.
