What makes a Fort Myers move harder
Put elevator access in writing before the quote.
What reviews flag on site. The access problem these reviews name most is elevators. 34.7% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 3.02. Put elevator access in writing before the quote. That note keeps the crew and the price tied to the building.
How to use a sour rating. A mean of 3.02 and damage mentions in 34.7% of reviews are a reason to read the estimate line by line.
