This experience I am going through has been so challenging for me, but RJ Movers put my mind at ease and left me feeling stress-free. They were AWESOME! Arrived on time. Absorbed all the instructions I gave them. Did a little great strategizing on their own. Finished a lot more quickly than I had expected -- but didn't take any shortcuts to do it. I could not have asked for better service! Friendly. Professional. Available on one day's notice. I am so glad I requested their help. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing loading/unloading/moving labor help.

On time. Worked hard! Worked smart! It was a big job. I am astonished at how much Donnie managed to pack on the truck. Donnie and KJ were pleasant and did a fabulous job! It was a long hot afternoon. They partly loaded and unloaded nearby. Then they cam back to the house and then to storage. They stayed til the truck was full. I didn't expect to get that much from storage. I have enormous gratitude for how much they helped me!
