What customers said about in-state moving
Easy Company MovingTheo and his team were very quick, efficient and smart when it came to packing and moving things. They didn't hesitate to ask where things went and how we wanted it packed. Great team and services!!
John Frank Moving Company SeattleTwo strong men did an absolutely great job in not only protecting my furniture but moving the pieces swiftly and efficiently. Also, the price was very reasonable.
Man With A Truck Movers and Packe…Sam and Joseph did a great job with our local Federal Way move. I would highly recommend this company.
Man With A Truck Seattle Movers a…They did a great job helping us move from Tacoma to Seattle! Second time using them, would do it a third time
Pure Moving Company Seattle Mover…Martin and Vasya did an excellent job with our move! They are the best movers I ever worked with! They are true professionals who are incredibly hard workers. Their attitudes were positive throughout the move. I would definitely use Pure Moving for my future moves.
Gentle Giant Moving CompanyWe had a great experience with Gentle Giant. Rachael Welch was a huge help, helping me plan and coordinate what we needed. The packing and moving crew - Wyland Palafox, Artem Shcherbyna, Eimis Tamoliunas, and Juan Rios - were careful, efficient, and considerate of our stuff. Our move seemed complicated and stressful…

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.
