Two gentlemen arrived on time to move approximately 6 pieces of furniture approximately 12 miles. Two pieces were Antiques w/glass. They wrapped items carefully, were pleasant, and finished in 2 hours. The owner checked on my unpacking/settle in process the following two days and offered any add’l help needed Definitely recommend these two gentlemen!

Hector and Gerald from Kai Kai’s did a great job. Hector messaged me about 1/2 hour before they arrived, which I appreciated. They worked really hard and efficiently, making sure they carried each box or furniture item to the correct room I needed it to be in. They took great care not to damage or mark door frames, floors, walls, etc. I could tell they are seasoned professionals at moving people. I would definitely recommend them, and I would use them again without hesitation.

The people at KBA movers were on time and were prepared for the job. They followed my instructions and were able to move my couches and other heavy furniture in and out of their truck. They worked hard and had time to chat with me for a moment before moving things to the house. Unfortunately, a few valuable items were damaged during the move, including a beveled glass from a grandfather clock, the bottom fell out of another, plus a lamp and lampshade. Things like that do happen from time to time, though. I've been trying to contact them for an update to see what will be covered for the damages, but I'm waiting to hear back. Still, KBA movers did a good job moving my heavy furniture to the hosue.

The entire crew was fantastic, they were not presented with an ideal situation but were extremely accommodating and helpful, quick and efficient. Great communication, more men than expected, even went the extra mile after dark when we were in a real crunch. Would absolutely recommend to any/ everyone needing moving assistance. We were very grateful for their help!

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!
