Customers Trust MovingPlace

The movers were a little late, were nice enough to work with and worked relatively quickly at first, but their pace lagged significantly as the service continued and they scratched everything and broke all 4 of my lamps. I do not appreciate how little care they showed for my belongings in throwing them around so roughly and it has cost a considerable amount of money in broken and damaged furniture. Not the worst but I would not use them again.

We had a great experience with this team. Wayne, the owner, made scheduling smooth and straightforward, and the movers Greg and Latrell were fantastic. They showed up on time, worked quickly and carefully, and handled everything with professionalism. Both were friendly, efficient, and made the unloading process so much easier than it would have been on our own. I’d happily recommend Wayne’s team to anyone needing reliable movers!
