Clark did an excellent job moving a 450 lbs smoker from my garage through my house and into my new outdoor kitchen. They had the power to get it done and the touch to make sure nothing was damaged. I would highly recommend.

I received a text message the day before giving me an arrival estimate and they arrived right on time at 8:30. The men were competent, polite and extremely efficient. We had them move everything into storage while we wait on our new home to be completed. We will be using them again for sure when we move into our new home. Definitely recommend Clark’s!!!
