James and Kendrick were AWESOME!!!! I would use them for every move we have. They were prompt, professional and friendly. They arrived early, communicated with us the whole time, and even took a few pieces of furniture apart that were too heavy to make loading/unloading easier. They made sure the job was done right. I would highly highly recommend them for any move - they were fantastic.

10/10 would recommend and use again. The crew called with a 10 minute eta to give me a heads up and arrived exactly on time. They were super professional and friendly. They unloaded everything safely and efficiently. They respected the spaces - we were unloading into a condo so lots of hallways to navigate and a small freight elevator. The placed everything in the rooms I wanted and also helped put together a few piece of furniture and placed them for me. Really great work. Definitely use them for your next job.

These guys were amazing, so professional so comforting! they handled everything like total experts. Moving can be so stressful. These guys took the anxiety out of all of it. I would use them 1000 times over. I literally told the kids that I loved them when they left. They wouldn’t let me lift anything. They picked everything up and got it in to the freight elevator and in to my condo so easily and were smiling and charming the whole time. Book Logan Lifts for your next move. They are the best!!
