Customers Trust MovingPlace
Workers arrived when they said they would and were ready with all the necessary equipment. They were very careful with three oversized bookcases and had everything set up within the booked time. I'm very pleased and will definitely use them again should the need arise.

They showed up on time when I had them move a 600 pound new hot tub that was only delivered to my driveway. I needed it brought around back using my own pick up truck but didn't have the man power. They had 4 guys load into truck very carefully and held while I drove it around back to it final location and they carefully and safely unloaded into place. Other movers I called wouldn't even do it so I was very happy with them.

Dan and his partner were PHENOMENAL!! They moved very fast, and loaded our truck very efficiently. Dan's #1 priority was making sure that our items were secure in our truck, so that nothing moves during our trip. Dan was also a very friendly person, who genuinely cares about the work he does. That is rare. If you need your things moved, and handled with care, call and request Dan!

They showed up as scheduled so that was good. When bringing the couch upstairs they hit the wall and made a pretty big hole. This is a rental bldg So I was not overly concerned but If it was my own house I would have been very upset. Other than that, it went pretty smooth. My kids emptied our 2 suv's onto the sidewalk so they just had to bring it up. so I'm not sure they would have been able to finish in the time frame that I was promised but it all got done. One word of advice… Once they arrive show them everything that Hass to get done and make sure that they agree it will get done in the time frame that is paid for. I was a nervous wreck every time I saw them taking a break because I didn't think it would all get done but yet they're taking two breaks in the first 30 minutes. If they would've told me that it's no problem to finish I would have been calmer about the whole thing. But it all the time so I was happy with it. Two very nice gentleman also.

I could not have wished for a better crew to handle my move. They took care of relocating all my dear possessions with professionalism, care, and a positive attitude. Any obstacles encountered along the way, these guys took care of it. Storage container door stuck? They made that door unstuck in no time. Rain pouring down during the entire move? Not even worthy of mention. Millions of little items and furniture need to make their way to a third-floor walk-up? They had it all under control – without charging extra for the stairs! – and they did it with amazing speed. They were prepared for anything, they worked super-hard, and I was happy to trust my belongings to their care. This move looked like such a daunting task originally. We needed so bad to be saved from things getting further out of control – we needed either an act of miracle or the appearance of EZ Movers on the scene (they were called and dispatched last minute). What started out as one of the most difficult days of my life ended with smiles and gratitude for the way this extraordinary team of movers stepped up to help with every single aspect of the move. It was impossible to worry about anything while watching these guys work. With the attitude they brought to the job, nothing seemed impossible and their positivity and great mood was simply contagious. I could not recommend moving labor help any more enthusiastically than Chris’s team EZ Movers. They are great at what they do, and they are some of the most pleasant human beings one has the fortune to meet. If you’re looking to have your move handled by a conscientious moving crew, hire these guys! Just please don’t reserve them for the time I’ll be moving out of my third-floor walk-up, because I'll be turning to them for moving labor help again.
