Mike and his crew were punctual for the times agreed upon to begin the process. Once on the job site, these guys got straight to work: Introducing themselves, prepping the house with protective equipment for preservation of the house, walking through to ensure clear/concise understanding of what stayed/packed, and personable throughout the entire process. These men were extremely professional and careful packaging our household goods and loading into the truck. The crew was mindful, courteous, and patient with our family during their time at our house with a new baby and puppy on top of packaging

Building materials - lots of plywood, 2x 6's, 12 to 20 feet long. Up 32 concrete steps. Bob and James worked steadily for an hour and a half. Those stairs are killers. They stacked it where we wanted it to go. Excellent work, excellent attitude. Also Danielle on the phone was great and reassuring. "We can move anything." I will use them again.

There were three workers
Moving slow ,checking out the view , left their paper work in the home. There is one sofa one love seat to move , and one small rug. So I Move all the cushions off the sofa, and transfer them in my car myself. None of the furniture was protected with blankets or wrap. Than they follow me to the other home and they are tright behind me, and all of a suden the moving truck turns off at the entrance to the mall where Starbucks is .(did they get lost, or stop for coffee)
I arrive home and 15 min later they show up. Bill for a hour and half work 217 dollars.
