All Aboard Moverz did an AMAZING job! They arrived on time, were very polite, professional, worked hard throughout the day and were highly respectful of the property and furnishings, too. I would definitely hire and use them again in the future.

We were moving furniture within the house to have the wood floors redone. We did not need movers who quoted us a rate that was too high for what we really needed. Samuel Services was a good answer. Walter and his teammate from Samuel Services arrived on time and immediately got to work. The team was patient and professional as we explained where each piece of furniture was going in the house. They did great. We are using them again to move the furniture back after the floors are done.

The helpers from Utopia Movers were very efficient and experienced. They were extra cautious with delicate items and did a nice job of loading my truck in a manner that was able to place most items in the truck. The helpers made sure that they moved the most items in the amount of time allotted. I would definately use Utopia Movers again.

Alex led a great crew who worked hard from the first minute, treated us politely, and handled our household goods with care. They certainly won at tetris, loading our ABF trailer with skill and maximum efficiency of space. Especially for military DITY/PPM moves, they were a great hire and I am thoroughly grateful for their help. Fully recommend!

Alex, Deandre, Quan and Leo from Step by Step Logistics did an excellent job on our move. They contacted us a couple of hours before their arrival to discuss our moving plans. They were all very polite, professional and assured us that they will get the job done in the time frame we requested. They arrived on time and started working immediately. They handled everything with care and packed all of it securely into our container. They organized our things so well leaving room in the container. What we absolutely loved is that they were able to complete the job in less time than we scheduled!! My husband and I were very happy with their service and highly recommend them.

On Go Moving and Hauling responded to my request quickly, provided an approximate time of their arrival, and kept me up to date as that time changed, due to circumstances out of their control (weather). Upon arriving, they were friendly, got right to work and worked quickly. Highly recommend.

They were late, arriving a few hours beyond their estimated time. But once they arrived, they finished early and with a good attitude. Beside the delay, my only complaint is that I was a little disappointed they didn't keep their facemasks on. All in all, they worked hard, took care with our household goods, and they were polite to me and kind to my kids. Happy they came, and they were worth the hire.

T and Bobby arrived early and prepared. THEY knew our couch came apart. We did not know this. They were absolute rock stars in getting our heavy stuff up to our apartment in the summer heat. They were professional and kind. I would recommend them to anyone and will call you all when we need to move again. Thank you!
