My parents recently had an in town move and used AMWAT. They were very pleased with the professionalism and service they received. The guys were on time, quick, efficient, took great care of the space and furniture, and very courteous. Usually, my mom is a tough person to satisfy, and even she was impressed. They also thought the estimate was very reasonable.

AMWAT Moving exceeded our expectations during our recent move! Their reusable crates make packing a breeze and the skates help you move them from room to room with ease. The movers were professional, polite, and punctual. We had several "special requests" during our move and they were all fulfilled with great customer service. This is the second time we have used AMWAT Moving and it won't be the last!

If you need integrity, flexibility, diligence and excellent customer service, go with AMWAT for your moving needs. They make what usually is such an onerous experience so much better. In addition, this company and its employees are invested in the community and are wonderful contributors to worthy causes such as fighting hunger.

HIGHLY recommend AMWAT! We used them to pack my Mothers house and move her out of state. Everyone that showed up, from packing through loading, was so courteous and professional. There were no surprises, no prices changes and no complaints. If you need a mover, call AMWAT!
