I hired them to move a piano. The communication was great all around! They packaged, moved, and loaded it up with care!
Dwayne and his partner who just happened to got married and having a baby girl were excellent every step of the way. I apologize that I cannot remember his name.

I needed to have a single piece of furniture (recliner chair) moved from my residence to another not far away (7 Miles). I submitted a request via yelp and had a reply within a couple hrs. I called Moving Ahead Services (MAS) on Tuesday and received a quote via phone and EMail the same day. Upon reviewing the…

Brandon, Jason, Trey and Nate were fantastic!! They were extremely professional, respectful and quickly moved us from point A to point B. I absolutely would recommend them to anyone moving or in need of moving services
Moving Ahead Services was recommended to us and we’ll be forever grateful for that recommendation. I can’t say enough regarding our mover’s efficiency and professionalism. Nonetheless, I believe this says it all: nothing one thing was damaged, nothing was broken, and nothing was lost. I’ve moved many times in my…
The team was very professional. They took great care of my furniture. They wrapped all the furniture to protect everything. Items that belonged to my great grandmother were in good hands. I at no time worried about my things being taken care of.
Q and Seth were an excellent help moving my aunt this past weekend. They came all the way out to grove city and made the move look so easy. Definitely recommend them to anyone who desires a hassle free experience.
Jeremy, Dwayne and Brian did an amazing job with our move. They were super efficient and polite, keeping smiles on their faces even in the heat/humidity. They came in under the quoted time too. Would recommend Moving Ahead to anyone looking to move.
Texted me they were coming and arrived on time. Introduced themselves, very courteous. Everything covered and padded and removed carefully. Very pleased.
Jason and Travis were awesome help! Thank you!!
Josh and DJ were amazing. Super quick and very nice. Incredibly professional and hardworking but they still cracked a few jokes with me. I was worried about how much stuff I had and how long it would take but they were very fast, organized and efficient. I really appreciated all their hard work. It made moving so much easier!
Brandon and Keegan did a great job during my move. They were able to use their creative thinking and experience to navigate tight city streets and park the truck despite encountering some obstacles when they first arrived. They were able to wrap the furniture and load it in a timely manner and then also unloaded…
Moving ahead services was awesome! They got here on time and moved everything perfectly without any damage. Jeremy, Dwayne, and Brian were great!
Brandon and Jason were awesome and moved us super quick!
Highly recommend! I needed to move some things quickly, and Cayden was able to schedule me within 2 days and on a Saturday!! Josh and Jayson were amazing and really went above and beyond to help me. You can’t go wrong with this group!
Great guys!! Never seen guys so strong! Really appreciate they go above and beyond!
Josh and Jeremy were so efficient and organized! They got all of my things moved in so quick and nothing was damaged at all. They took the time to wrap everything and make sure it was all secured in the truck before moving.
Very professional and timely! Good group!
Jeremy and Josh were very friendly and timely. All of my items were undamaged and they help me put my furniture back together after moving it.
Travis, Dwayne and Ryan were fast, careful, and professional. Highly recommend.
DJ and Brandon were great to work with.
It wasn’t a good experience. One of our master bedroom dressers was broken in the move and one of our beds broke after installation in our new home. And it hasn’t been positive in regards to what our resolution will be .
The movers, Jeremy & Josh, were terrific! We had way more items than we expected, but they were more than willing to move it all. They even moved an extremely heavy piano for us, which we are forever grateful for! I would recommend these guys again & again!
Excellent in every capacity. Very personable. Prompt and courteous.
I was extremely pleased with Moving Ahead Services. It was easy to schedule and stay in touch with the office. The movers were considerate, careful, and fast! I have recommended this company to friends and family. They are an excellent company, both professional and personable.
Brandon and Josh were great. Very friendly and knowledgeable even in some of the tighter fits and tough situations. I highly recommend them going forward.

Jeremy Gabe Devarious and Gary boxed up all of my wife and I belongings and moved it to our new house in just a few hours.

Moving Ahead is great to work with! Gary and Gabe did a great job with my most recent move!
Great crew! Professional, courteous. Would highly recommend
So I have used these movers before and liked them. But, this time they really saved the day! I had ordered three sofas from an online company wishing white glove delivery. I wasn't able to find that option when checking out during their President's Day sale. I coordinated with Moving Ahead to have them remove…

The team went above and beyond to help us move some large items. They took care and wrapped everything and had to go through snow in some cases. They were very professional and efficient.

Crew was great!!
Brandon Gary and Gabe were amazing. We added extra stuff to their plate but they were gracious and amazing to work with. Absolutely would recommend.
I definitely would not recommend this company to anyone. I moved from a two bedroom apartment to a one bedroom apartment and it took the moving company at that time 2.5 hours. Now moving from this one bedroom and having things placed in a storage unit and my living items such as a mattress and my office moved into a…
This was a great experience. From the sales call to scheduling (3 day notice) to the guys who food the work, all 5 stars. The 4 guys arrived on time and were extremely courteous and respectful of the property. They had to deal with a washer and dryer moving downstairs as well as taking apart a baby grand piano…
We had 3 movers Travis, Dwayne and Scott I believe who did a great job handling all aspects of the move!

Gary, Sam and Brendan showed up on time, were very respectful and were friendly, efficient and fun to work with.
Gary and Gabe moved my things quickly and carefully. They confirmed the items they would be taking to make sure they didn't take any of my roommates things. They even helped me with the things I brought over in my car.
Cayden worked hand in hand with me making the arrangements. Top notch customer service. The movers were awesome guys, they were able to show up sooner and also very efficient with our time. Highly recommend! Thanks
The moving crew worked very hard and efficiently.

Moving Ahead Services was fantastic to work with. The 3 movers that moved me were very good and they were so patient and so professional and caring about the moving job that they did for me. I would definitely use Moving Ahead Services again if I am going to move again. I would recommend Moving Ahead Services to…
We used Moving Ahead Services about 13 years ago and had a good experience then, so we decided to use them again. John was great with helping to schedule everything, and worked with me shortly before the move when I changed the plan. On the day of the move, Jeremy and his team showed up on time and worked fast and…

Tino and Rob were great. They were on time, efficient and really seemed to enjoy what they do which I don't see very often anymore. They took care of my belongings as if it was their own. This is the second time I have used their services as well as twice for another family member.
I set up a day and time to move and a couple of days beforehand, I needed to move the day up. NO problem! They worked with me and got me moved quickly. The guys that came to my home were professional and made sure my items were protected and loaded safely. The whole process was great, as was everyone I encountered…
I had a wonderful experience with this company! The movers, Jeremy and Jason, took very good care of my furniture, were efficient, and polite. It was also reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this company

James & Gary were amazing!!! Literally made this move such a breeze and were personable, mindful of myself and my things, and fast. They handled the job with care and I would recommend them to anyone in need. THE moving company to use 110%. Until next time…!
The staff was very hardworking and great to work with. They used their time efficiently and were well organized. Would use this company again without hesitation.
Quicker and more efficient than I was expecting. Team were greT
We were moving...downsizing... and had a few special needs. Moving Ahead was recommended by a friend in the area who had used them. They were local and affordable and we were thrilled with every part of the team we interacted with... and, yes, they got the job done... on time.. no hassle.
We were originally scheduled to move on October 13 and when no one showed up, we began to call the office. No one responded. After leaving several messages, finally we called the person who referred us to Moving Ahead. This was a 7:00 PM and we connected with the GM. He could not find us in their system, until I…
Elijah and Randy did a great job with moving my furniture into a new apartment. They were quick and friendly and tried to help me stay within the hour range I paid for. They also wrapped everything for free and covered all of my equipment/furniture so it did not get damaged. I would recommend them to anyone who…
You guys are awesome! Saved the day for me!
100% great experience. Gary and Luke were friendly, helpful, professional, and efficient. Looking forward to using them for the "big move" in a few months.
