Exceptional service done in a timely manner. I had a four bedroom going from Ann Arbor to Oxford. They arrived and scheduled and worked exceptionally hard around the clock. It was not an easy move, but they did a really fine job overall. Thank you

Great Service
Schea Van Lines was there and remarkably helpful. Extremely stressful going into moving day, but they got the job done as they had assured they would. Could not imagine having done this without the help of these guys. Great work

Schea Van Lines was there when no one else was for us. While we were stressed, they delivered. Could not be more grateful for the team of four and two trucks that were sent out last minute for us. I was beyond grateful as they truly made the entire thing possible. No question I will suggest them to anyone in need of a solid relocation service. Thanks a ton gentlemen. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Schea Van Lines handled a good portion of our moving and storage in our transition phase. All was handled properly and there was a good amount of attention to detail. The service we received was certainly better than any other moving experience we've had in the past. Thankful we chose Schea to assist. We will phone them in future need be.

Hired Blue Oak Moving for a SE MI to Mid-MI move. Andrew and Tyler exceeded my expectations! They arrived on time, were very professional (addressing my concerns about moving some family antique pieces, and offering suggestions on a couple other pieces). They worked efficiently and took great care loading items into the truck. I highly recommend them.

Schea Van Lines and Blue Oak Moving handled my recent move from Milford to Grand Rapids. My company paid for the move fortunately so I did not compare rates. However, I have much experience with moving companies. I've had the misfortune of dealing with sloppy companies that were all about "jam it in and let's go." Fortunately these guys were different. The driver explained to my husband and I that the company has a policy that all wood pieces must have moving blankets wrapping them before they are aloud to take out of the house. Initially I felt the wrapping was a bit excessive, but it made all the difference. My pieces arrived in Grand Rapids in pristine condition and the guys were polite throughout the entire day. I can't imagine the amount of hard work it takes to move an entire home in a single day only to have a smile on the face at the end of the day. Real life superheros these men were. We made certain to have them for pizzas and pop after the move. I asked them what part of town they would be staying in for the evening. They replied "We're going back to Cincinatti!" Very impressive. I liked the guys alot and the company itself kept me updated and well prepared prior.

Could not have been better. We received perfect service at a nearly perfect price. The staff were the best we've experienced using the contractors and the final price was more than proper for what we had done.

Our move 7/9/17.
We were extremely pleased with our Schea moving experience yesterday. We needed to move many very heavy items from our parents home to ours and Shawn and James were amazing! They went above and beyond to ensure our items came intact as shrink wrapped almost everything and really took the extra steps. They were very professional and helpful to us and our parents. Everyone I dealt with in their office was helpful also and Kim even returned my call on a Sunday morning when I had a question within minutes. All in all we will use them for any moving needs in future and we highly recommend their services. Thank you Schea for all your help yesterday!

Schea Van Lines.
Schea Van Lines was with our family every step of the way. We had a rather complex move, but with the help of Schea Van Lines all went smooth. It started with a four bedroom home that we had been living in for over twelve years. It had about 12 years of things, making the thought of moving fairly intimidating. Schea Van Lines sent a specialist out to estimate the home. The gentlemen logged all pieces of furniture we had and noted items that would require special attention from the men at Schea Van Lines. Furthermore he dropped off complimentary packing supplies which was a nice touch. The next day we received a clear and informative estimate for an operation of four staff and two large moving vans. The estimate was wrote for an hourly rate of $178/hour of service and a single truck charge of $199 for both of the trucks. The pricing wasn't the cheapest I found, but it was still competitive and we were willing to pay slightly additional to have the right men take care of the job. On the big moving day, sure enough four men and two trucks arrived form Schea Van Lines as promised within the scheduled window. The lead staff member Scott assured my family all would be handled by days end. The men prepped all doorways, staircases, and banisters. The furniture was all wrapped correctly, and the men continued working hard throughout the day. From the four-bedroom home we had previously lived in, one Schea Van Line truck went to our storage unit, the other went to our new condo. The organization and direction was efficient and preplanned. This made the overall day go alot better than I had initially anticipated. After twelve hours of moving, all of our furnishings were properly relocated into storage and into the new home. I was impressed by how quickly all went and how it was done properly. Schea Van Lines took a stressful day and made it better. Schea Van Lines all the way!
