Fred and his crew did an excellent job with our customer in Louisiana. They unloaded the sprinter van, assembled the antique bed with care, and even went back to pick up the trash and moving pads once the job was done. They are moving their services to Melbourne FL, and I can highly recommend them to both customers and other moving companies!
