UPDATE – September 2026: I am updating my review to warn prospective customers about my experience with Marathon Moving Services. While the movers themselves were satisfactory overall, there were several issues I found unprofessional. At one point, while two movers struggled to move a couch upstairs, the third…
Amazing moving service, was done ahead of schedule with everything moved quickly and efficiently Will be the company I use my future moves
Could not recommend Marathon moving more!! They were so careful with all of our furniture, while still incredibly efficient. And did it all with smiling faces! Will 100% use them again in the future. Thank you!!!

Guys were fast, polite, and easy to work with! Hopefully we don’t have to move again but if we do, I’m calling them!
Punctual, professional, and positive! It was close to 100° that day, but all three members of the crew wrapped, transported, and moved my mother‘s belongings up to the fourth floor with a smile on their face and the patients of a saint. I highly highly recommend this moving company!
Excellent experience with Marathon Moving Services. From Jennifer in the office to crew leader Curtis, they got the job done in a timely manner with positive energy all the way around! Curtis even helped me put the living room rug and pad down. So grateful for his help with that! Thanks again to everyone!
Awesome service provider! They were responsive, fluent communication, on time, did a great job and worth every cent.
Great experience. Movers were professional and fast with moving my more heavy furniture.
Curtis led an amazing team. They started on time and got done almost perfectly on time with the original quote and handled everything with care. Could be happier start to finish with the estimate and execution for our local move.
All in all the crew did a good job moving my house especially since the day we moved on July 3 it was over 100° but I do have one bone to pick that I found out the night of my move. My king size bed frame was not tightened down all the way and now rocks. Each side of the frame has 3 nuts and three bolts only 2 nuts…
