Horrible experience. Movers damaged my home and furniture. They took breaks and still charged for the time they weren’t working. After going back and forth for weeks the owner informed me he would pay me 60$ for the thousands caused in damage. Owner explicitly told me he did not care. Avoid this company.

Owner's reply

Because of that, it’s possible this review may have been posted for the wrong company. Our team works hard to provide professional service and to address any genuine concerns from customers. If you believe this review is related to a service we provided, please contact our office directly with your move date, address, or booking details so we can properly investigate and resolve the matter.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I hired this company for a move on January 23rd, 2026. During the move, their staff caused damage to both my home and furniture. The house had just been freshly painted prior to the move, which makes the new damage even more obvious. I raised the issue immediately while they were still on site, and the movers acknowledged the damage. They even begged us not to report it to their management. After weeks of waiting, repeated follow-ups, and providing clear photos taken the day of the move, management is now refusing to accept responsibility. Instead, they are claiming the damage was pre-existing, despite how fresh and visible it appears in the documented images. Their actions have left me stuck paying thousands of dollars to restore my home back to marketable condition. If you value your home, your belongings, or basic professionalism, do not hire this company. You will regret it.

Owner's reply
Hi Farah, we’re sorry to hear you feel this way. We take feedback seriously and want every customer to have a positive experience.

Great service! The team (Seb and his team) helped me move to my new home and they did a great job! Very courteus and always asked where I wanted my items to be placed. They also wrapped my furniture and took loose items that I didn't have a chance to pack 🙂.
