The best movers ever! They kept our stuff overnight and were punctual, courteous, efficient and fast! Even when our closing was longer than expected and my husband lost his cell phone, they were pro active and came back to the house after waiting for us the first time. We highly recommend this company!!

My father and I moved out of a 4 story townhome. Dougs had everything in the truck and ready to go in less time than they had predicted. It was extremely hot but they were fast and efficient and smiled the whole time. Nothing was broken or damaged. They supplied the wardrobe boxes to move everything that was on hangers. They even took my beds and furniture apart and reassembled it on the other end. They are the best. Very friendly too!!

We hired Dougs Hourly Muscle for our move from Clearwater to Parrish. We would definitely recommend them for your move. AJ and Roy got our furniture into the truck pretty quickly and were careful, then drove to Parrish and unloaded in under 4 hours! The price was also very good.
