Ok face it, moving is very stressful. We were just moving from a condo to a house, less than a mile away but we had quite a bit of stuff. Before you just hire any company, learn how to shop for a great moving company based on reviews, pricing, reputation and reliability. I started out by calling moving companies and was surprised how all of them had different minimums (min amount of hours that they will charge you per move), travel surcharges, (covers the travel time to get the movers to your house and back to their home base), various per hour charges that vary based on whether you choose 2 movers, 3 movers and so on. (We always choose 3 movers as it will save you money). One company even tried to charge me additional for a dolly! We hired a moving company verbally, then the company never answered their phones. I called them 2 days in a row, every 15 mins then got leary since our move was coming up quickly. So then I searched around and found Maestro Movers, thank goodness. The gentlemen that answered the phone, Joshua, was very professional, which was a shocker to me. Just call around to various places and you will see what I'm talking about. He was so nice, gave me upfront pricing, was able to accommodate my date, which was less than 3 days away, at that time, matched the other quote, plus my move covered everything:
-26' box truck
-tons of furniture pads, rolls of tape
-multiple hand trucks & wheel dollies
-3 very fast movers
-plus they charge in 15 min increments, pro-rated, after my first 4 hours! Some places charge in 30 min or full hour increments.
The movers were not slow at all. They were running back and forth as fast as they could go, trust me. We were watching that clock like a hawk. Everything was wrapped so nicely, to prevent dings and scratches.
Give them a call, trust me, I probably called every reputable mover here in central FL and am 2000% happy that we chose them! Search google and other browsers, they have excellent reviews and the pricing is far superior to the others out there. Hope this helps!!
