Tony and his crew showed up on time and worked their tails off until the job was done. They were exceptionally kind to my son and made him feel part of the crew. I’d recommend Tony for any moving job.

Nothing but good things to say. We had movers cancel at the last minute and needed movers before leaving town. KBA movers agreed to appear the same day to move a very heavy pool table. They were on time, polite and moved the pool table out of the basement. Thank you for your help.

5 Stars for Wright Now Family Movers! Denell and Gregory did an awesome job loading our moving truck. They arrived on time and were professional throughout the process. 3 Stars for Hire A Helper… Less than 30 minutes after our helpers departed, we received a call from Hire A Helper asking us to authorize an additional $60 charge for equipment use. We rented a hand truck (which was used) from Penske so no additional equipment was necessary. In the future, they should ask- or inform -customers that there will be an additional charge for helpers to use the equipment they prefer. This leaves a bad taste…! The additional charge is NOT authorized.

Andrew and his team did a great job moving us in. They had all the supplies needed to keep our house new as they moved in some heavy furniture. They worked fast and had tools to help us assemble some of our furniture. I would 100% use them again if I were to move.
— Kevin L.
Movers | Blue Cow Moving & Storage
VERY expensive for the work and quality. Grateful they moved around the appoints to accommodate me (they give you a window of when they might show up to start work, even if you choose the first hour of a day). The workers were professional and friendly and did well at first but then seemed to loose their ability to pack well at the end. I provided straps, they said thank you, and did not strap my belonging in. The end of the packing was haphazard and furniture fell against the pod door (and it hadn't even been moved yet). A+ for the first half but F for the 2nd. I had repack my pod so it could be transported.
