Used Dominant Moving for a local move first week of September. Dont use them as they damaged 3 pieces of brand new furniture. They claim they insure any damaged pieces but I can not get hold of anyone after numerous calls and an email to get a claim going. The lead mover acknowledged the damage, took pics but nothing. This company is completely avoiding me to to rectify the situation. Crewof 2 showed up late due to traffic. We do have 3 flights of stairs and one of the movers was wearing slip-ons (Nike slippers) which should have been my first sign that this wasn't going to go well! I warned

I have used these guys on 4 occasions. Three of them were my personal moves (from storage to a home, then from a home back to storage and finally from storage to a home again...don't ask...its a very long story) and one was for a friends move. I keep coming back to them and I will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks for a moving referral. They were very reasonable price wish. They arrived on time and with the requested number of movers. They worked quickly and did not damage anything...Finally when it came time to pay the bill the cost was exactly what was quoted with no "hidden

I've never used a moving service so I was a bit nervous preparing for their arrival. However, once Javier and Brandon arrived, the process was so SMOOTH! They both did an excellent job moving every piece of furniture with ZERO issues! Even the 2-3 pieces that are considerably large and heavy....and on top of that, they were very kind and considerate in dealing with my VERY CURIOUS 6yo son. My kiddo became Brandon's shadow, asking endless questions or just "wanting to help". Brandon took the time to answer his questions and would always find a small box/item that my kid could

Dominant has moved me twice and both times it was excellent service. Their rates are the best I have found. I requested quotes from 5+ companies, and they were the best. We specifically needed help moving heavy furniture from a two story townhome to a two story home and they tackled the challenge with ease. We did most of the packing ourselves beforehand but they handled all of our items with care wether they packed them or not. The movers were friendly and made the moving experience as a whole much less stressful. They were worth every penny.

I am not sure where all the positive reviews are coming from for this company. My experience was the complete opposite of the glowing reviews that have been provided by others. We requested a crew of three but only two men showed up. The job required three men, not two. It took them so long that my family started moving items from the driveway into the garage at the new house because it was 6:30 pm at night. They damaged property while moving furniture. It was indicated on the invoice for an insurance claim as there was no way they could deny damaging it. We had to chase the owner Roman for two
