What customers said about local moving
WNY MovingMoved a piano for us. Very good communication, and exactly on time. They took exceptional care of not only the piano, but the houses they were moving it in. Very reasonable prices too. Can't recommend enough.
Affordable and friendly. What more could you want? When a tiny screw went missing from a fridge door handle, Dan went out of his way to find it. Very happy with how the move went. They even picked up a king size mattress at the last minute and didn’t charge me for the service. Plus, getting it up the stairs was NOT easy. Definitely would use them again.
Truck & A Trailer MovingThey were amazing! Efficient, helpful, considerate, timely-we couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommend!
Good Neighbors MovingI was in a pinch and Tim was able to get two guys out to help me the same day. Ben and Trey were very efficient and friendly. Great company and I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Corrigan Moving SystemsCorrigan has been fantastic to work with over the years! The team is fabulous and super helpful! Grateful for Ray and Spencer and all that they do for Blood Cancer United!
WNY MovingOur crew was fantastic to work with and very efficient. They sent reminders and recommendation every day for a week prior to move to help make the day as smooth as possible which was very helpful. They were also available at anytime during the day if I had questions or concerns they could answer easily. Would highly…

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
