The 3 guys/movers themselves were very pleasant and respectful. However EVERYTHING ELSE about this move was horrible! The job was incomplete with items being left in my linen closet and garage. The guys had no idea how to properly pack and basically wrapped everything in Saran plastic wrap or packing tape. On top of…

Our movers were super nice and respectful. They took the strain out of heavy lifting on an already stressful day. However, they are clearly under trained and over worked. We were told again and again one truck should hold all of our things. They proceeded to put smaller items in the truck instead of bigger items…

They charged me $1,500 more than they quoted and didn’t finish the job. Nothing was reassembled. My couch is in my garage and my mattress is on my floor. They said they would come back and finish, but that would have been another extra charge for a service I had already paid for. Save yourself some misery and choose a different company.

Pricing was competitive with the local market. Used this business in June of 2025 for a local move (Merrillville to Winfield). Overall it was a lot of help, but for the price point we scuffed & dented too many walls and door frames. We were told over the phone they would bring everything needed to do that without…
