Quinnel and Sharrod did an incredible job. They kept moving and hauled heavy furniture without nicking a thing. Quinnel made excellent suggestions on how to best pack everything in the 26-foot U-Haul. It was clear he knew what he was doing, so I turned all of the loading and packing decisions over to him and he fit everything together so tightly that it will not shift during the long drive from Delaware to Florida. They are both highly recommended!

The movers were rushed due to scheduling conflicts. It wasn't their fault but some items were turned upside down in the process of moving.

These guys are real professionals. Fast, skilled, and friendly. They expertly handled heavy items, tight fits, and multiple sets of stairs and took care to not damage any of our items or our floors/walls. Their team of three unloaded our 28 ft moving truck in under 3 hours. We’ll definitely call them next time we need moving labor help.

Excellent packers. Hard working, professional, and skilled. Packed the moving pod extremely efficiently in a manner that minimized the possibility of shifting and damage. We were worried about fitting everything into the pod, but because of the skill of the movers, we actually only used about 3/4 of it. Would recommend them for the perfect combination of hard work and experience. They also were a pleasure to interact with as they were friendly, attentive, and respectful.

Karim and his fellow mover did a great job assisting with the loading of the U Haul in the pouring rain. They were very polite and efficient with strapping the items down and came in under the allotted time. There was no damage to the interior walls. We will definitely use them again for the next phase of our moving. Thank you for your hard work!
