I booked with them three days prior to my move due to last minute emergency move. I was stressed and called for multiple quotes. Their quote was the most reasonable and affordable one I found! They were careful with my things arrived at the scheduled time and did well with the updates. I would recommend them and use them again.

Truck was smaller than we would have liked, and they had to take two trips, adding to our total, so wouldn’t necessarily recommend for bigger or more intricate moves. That said, the owners were helpful in resolving the issue and made sure that we weren’t charged for the extra time in the end.

Huge thanks to the team for an outstanding job! Fast, careful, and professional from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Evan Korsmeyer3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Evan has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
This is the first time I used services from a moving company..and I just was lucky to chose Iron Grip Movers(IGM), a relatively new small business in Austin but very efficient and professional..with a much better quotes and prices than almost all the other companies in this area. I contacted like 3 or 4 moving companies before I got in touch with this one, and all their quotes are highly expensive for moving from Austin to Houston compared to IGM, going from 2 to 6 times higher and more. So It was a great deal even with the hard job using stairs in both locations and the heavy stuff I had to move..not an easy job!. They handled it very well and no time to waste! So thank you very much for your service and thanks to Nick and Vitali too..very responsive and helpful..no pressure and no added or hidden fees, or extra charges with surprises at the end like many companies usually do!! so it was very clear from start to finish! I highly recommende their services and I will definitely use them again in the future.
