The movers were great! They unloaded the 20ft truck very quickly and even made sure to check with us as to where to put our stuff to make it easier for us later. Recommend Julio and his company Papis Quality Moving.

Great service. They communicated several days before on what was needed, provided helpful suggestions and ideas, and clarified things for clear expectations. They arrived on time, worked hard and expeditiously, came with tools (except for a dolly), were very respectful addressing my wife and I and also respectful of our property and goods. I’d use them again.

Amazing job and very quick!

— Chiamaka A.

Movers | Friday's Moving services

The crew arrived late. In most cases they did acceptable job, but after about 2 hours into the job, when they were moving an elliptical from the basement, they damaged the walls and the ceiling and broke an art piece. Claim was made and waiting on results. After that I wanted them to leave even though there was more time left. I would have given a higher rating but for this issue. I hope the claim is honored and damaged walls and the ceiling can be repaired and painted and replace the broken frame for the art piece.

Both men worked very hard and were very careful handling our furniture. Both were very pleasant and went out of their way to get the Pod packed efficiently so as not to move during transport. Would recommend highly.

I used Top Shelf to load a 16 ft pod with primarily boxes. The crew of three was efficient, which saves money in the long run. They were polite and worked hard.

Movers | Lucas Moving & Home Services

Extremely nice and efficient work. I had a tight timeline since I had to get my wife from the airport and they worked very hard to make sure everything was done. They paid attention to the labels on boxes, and took care of fragile items. They were careful with heavy furniture so as to not damage anything including the property itself.
