Dave,Tim & Jim from Dave's Moving Service arrived right on time. They did an excellent job unloading my moving truck and placing everything into my storage units. I will be using them again in August.

The two movers were on time and really took good care of our things while they unloaded our truck. I noticed how clean their shoes were, because when they left, I found dirt on my floors from MY SHOES! That's when I realized that they took the time to make sure they didn't track in anything. I'm hoping to never move again, but if I do I would call them again. The payment process was great, and they were helpful with that as well.

They did a great job! They are a reliable company. They showed up on time and really got the job done right. I hired them for 2 hours to move all the big furniture and was worried that a company would try to add more time. But they packed the truck perfectly and with the 4 helpers it was perfect for them to load and unload. They were careful with all of our belongings and got the job done as I had hoped. I would recommend them and would hire them again when I move again.

I contacted Dave's Moving Service on a referral. Each time I spoke with David on the telephone he was very polite and returned my calls promptly. He and his crew moved my daughter into her new apartment. I wasn't able to be there, but she said David and his crew were very nice, did a wonderful job, and were very careful with all of her belongings. She had no complaints at all with Dave's Moving Service. Pam, Bethany, WV
