Movers | NexMove

The two young men that moved me did a great job. It took longer than expected because of the weather, logistics of moving to a second story apartment and a slow elevator. I would highly recommend these two careful and respectful gentlemen. Thank you for your help!

Eric worked with me on short notice and very flexible at getting my POD unloaded and mostly going up to the 2nd floor. The two movers hustled for two hours without a break to get the job done. Will use these folks next time I need some help!

Movers | NexMove

Wow, can't say enough good things about these guys. They called to update us on when they'd arrive and arrived right on time. Wasted no time getting to work unloading the trailer. They worked great as a team. Everyone knew what to do and wasted no time standing around. Just needed me to tell them where to put items. They made sure to point out any damage that occured during transport before unloading. They were very careful with my items and caused no damage to items or the house. Did exactly what we requested and unloaded a 26ft trailer in no time. I will definitely recommend them to others and use them again if needed. These guys are the best and I am so grateful that I hired them.
