My moving experience was exceptional! They arrived in the window and let me know about their arrival time. It was very rainy this morning, and it didn’t affect the move at all. I moved out of a 1 bedroom apartment with an elevator and into the top floor of a row home, so they had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with everything. They loaded and unloaded all of my boxes and bags, wrapped my furniture, packaged my TVs, and handled it all so well! It was quite a lot of things. My couch needed the feet taken off and the door removed to get it in my apartment, which they did with no complaints. They were excellent. I would absolutely hire them again!!!
