Meathead Movers for moving-related packing

Lack of internal communications hampers Meathead Movers. Meathead has several functional components. The estimater comes out first. We told him we wanted to move everything, except things we told him about and marked (things in our rental that weren't ours). We wanted to move a lot of plants – their literature says…
UPDATE 10/22/2026: NEARLY $7,000 FOR AN UNFINISHED MOVE. OVER 100 PAGES OF DOCUMENTATION. STILL NO RESOLUTION. If you’re considering hiring Meathead Movers, I strongly encourage you to read this before signing anything. I hired this company because I had used them previously and trusted them. That trust turned out…
Caden and Dustin both did excellent jobs leading crews to pack our home, load multiple trucks, move, and unload our home over 2 days. I am so impressed by their hard work, fast pace, quality home protection, and their kindness throughout the process. Everyone on the team was so helpful, had great attitudes, and they…
Awesome company made my move easy. They packed most of my stuff and handled them with care. Highly recommend and will definitely do business again in the future.
As always, the best people and service. Thank you Meathead. You guys made a quick, stressful unforeseen move after just having moved already, seamless and worry free! You guys took great care of both places!
This company and their team are the best! Due to an unexpected hospitalization, I had to do the pack out of my home "remote control". Armed with a written list from me, phone calls, texts and with the help of a couple of video walkthroughs, the team was able to pack the contents of my home in less than a day and get…
If you can't bother reading through this, I wouldn't recommend their services. Many broken items (our total bill with them was somewhere around 24k including storage) Meathead movers moved our belongings in a few days ago. The staff that we interacted with were respectful and worked efficiently, but since unpacking…
We're using PODS for moving, since our stuff will need to be in storage for awhile. We wanted experienced packers and good labor to properly pad and load our POD. Two of my friends had complaints with two loading companies recommended by PODS. Since Meathead Movers did a great job on our local move many years ago,…
On time for move. Worked carefully. Great job.
Movers were quick and fast. Also extremely helpful and nice!
The two packers did a wonderful job of preparing our possessions for transport. Everything was safe and sound
Very expensive when compared with the averages of what online tells me about moving costs. $5700 for a local move is pretty excessive (and I had discounts included, so it would have been more)…Unfortunately I had surgery, so I had no option. Pros and cons. You certainly get what you pay for, but you can find cheaper…
They are so very nice and polite. They are fast, efficient and so helpful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! Emerson was so great to work with, so helpful and polite. The entire move was so easy and he did a great job coordinating for me!
The friendly team of three made moving a pleasant experience and they were knowledgeable and professional.
They were efficient and very careful and did everything in the time they told me. The estimation process was very good and their communication was prefect. Plus, each crew was very friendly and I enjoyed having them around. He was fantastic with quote and coordination
So I have used Meathead movers 3 times over the years and I have never had anything but a good experience. The process is quick and efficient. They are always on time and maximize their work to keep the costs down. Are accurate in their estimates. Moving guys are courteous and respectful. Great people to help you move.
Team of Dillon, Owen & Ryan were punctual & pleasant. Excellent job.. very conscientious & careful, and courteous.
I've had Meathead move me, and my daughter during college, a total of 4 times, utilizing their packing service, and their storage facility, and they have been outstanding every time. The guys have all been hard working, professional, polite and friendly, and I've taken pics of my crews every time cuz they were so…
Moving is the pits, but Meathead makes it bearable. Worth the cost!
Meathead Movers are very professional and can absolutely be depended on for moving needs. I've used them three times now and the crew is always efficient. I always recommend them. I worked with Mark on a complex move and he understood the assignment well while paying attention to critical details. The move was executed flawlessly!
