The young men arrived early, but had called to make sure it was ok with me. They were very nice and worked hard moving my things. I didn’t want to hover so I stayed away and let them do their thing. But when they were finished and I saw how my items were placed in the POD I was not happy. I supplied ratchet strips and moving blankets and bungee cords. They only placed 2 ratchet strips at the very end as he mentioned that was all that was needed. There are many open holes of space, and my 3 pieces of furniture are buried under boxes and I’m worried they will be broken. The entire POD will be mixed like a salad when moved. Now I have to find someone to re-pack it properly which is very disappointing

Travis and his helper were fantastic! They battled my straight up stairs from hell to bring my items from the pods to my 2nd floor apartment. Even through torrential rain!! Very hard working individuals! Travis is extremely professional! Easy to work with! Very flexible with plans and can think through problems easily! Not to mention how very strong & efficient he is! I would definitely recommend Travis and Top of the Line!

Dominick and Isaiah were awesome! I was about an hour late getting to my destination, but staying in touch with Dominick. He was very patient with the delay, and showed up as soon as I did. I gave a few instructions and they went right to work. They were prepared with a dollie, were careful with my furniture, they worked (rocked it actually) and got me unloaded in 1.5 hours! i highly recommend DASH and Dominick and Isaiah!

Dominick and crew were fantastic! Dominick kept me informed from the beginning of contacting him, all the way up to the time they showed up to load the truck. They were on time and prepared for the work. They worked very hard for the three hour time we allotted for the loading of the truck. They were friendly, personable, respectful and professional. Not one item they packed was damaged. They took out a lot of the stress of moving. I would not hesitate to book these gentlemen again in the future. I would hire them in a heartbeat!
