Our fifth move was a charm. Previous moves were paid for by the company my husband worked for, so all the packing, moving, and unpacking was paid for.
Granted, this time, we had to move cross country. We packed our own small items and had the movers pack the larger items. We had two weeks to do this before the moving truck came to our house to load the large furniture and heavy items.
Moving day was in mid February. We asked for three people to do the work. One decided what to move first. Another helped him take it out to the truck and the third one placed the items on the truck and carefully padded each piece of furniture with heavy pads. We found that if two people come with the truck, there is a lot of wasted time while one person protects the furniture and the other one waits until the second man can help move the furniture. At our present home, the walks were wet and dirty from heavy rains. The many trees on the property added to the debris on the driveway and walks. Without asking, the movers laid protective rugs and cloths over the floors of the house so that they would not track dirt and moisture inside. They were very careful with all the breakables such as mirrors, glass table tops, and marble table inserts that they took out and moved separately. They did not put scratches on any of the wood surfaces and not one item was damaged in any way. After the move, which is still a chore, we wrote the company a letter thanking them for the wonderful job they did. We would recommend this company to anyone. The cost was reasonable and they showed up on time.
They were very pleasant to work with and followed our suggestions on furniture placement. I cannot praise them too highly. Try them and see.
