BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! They are the WORST! HORRIBLE! I will be filing a complaint with the better business bureau! DO NOT hire or contract this moving company. First, it supposedly took the company almost 40 minutes to drive 2.4 miles (which I was charged for). I understand it was raining but it does not take 40 minutes to drive 2.4 miles in the worst conditions. Then, I prepaid 3 hours for 3 men and only two showed up. The manager/owner gave me this sob story about how two of his employees were in a car accident and couldnt come to work (which was a lie because I overheard one of the movers saying that they called out bc they didnt want to work), but miraculously, about an hour later a third man showed up. So while I was trying to clear this situation time was running on my dime and no one was doing anything (another 30-35 minutes wasted). Since I only prepaid for 3 hours, they only wanted to work for that time. They said they had another job scheduled at 11:00 and had to go. THATS NOT MY PROBLEM. I paid them to move me not to tell me you only paid three hours. We cant take this we cant take that. Long story short, they worked for a total of about an hour and 15 mins and only moved my bedroom set! I PAID almost $400.00 to have a bedroom set moved about a mile. They also ruined the ceiling at my new place, ruined my neighbors sprinkler. I was furious. I called demanding to speak to some, but could not get anyone to listen to my complaint. I was refunded a measly $40.00. Moving is hard enough and they made my experience horrifying. So I paid for an almost 40 minute joy-ride) another 30 to 35 minutes of back and forth because they cant get their story strait. I paid for 2 men the first hour (and only one worked for about 10-15 mins of that hour and brought down bed railings). And for 3 men the next two hours and only 2 worked. After all of this, I had to hire another company to move me and pay $350.00 to have them move me. a moving company should never tell anyone we dont have time we cant take this. I was told it was a two hour minimum and any extra time would be more. I was fine with that. I wasnt fine with being told you only paid 3 hours and we have another job so we cant take your stuff. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are dishonest, unprofessional, and just the worst company ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the beginning Mrs. Patrinakos miss informed us on what needed to be moved. She said she had no boxes, bags or small items and she was on the 1 floor. She had 4 full rooms, boxes, and bags all on the 2 floor and also 2 sofas that needed to be hoisted out a window, which would be an additional charge. Our men arrived at 8:20 not 8:40. As soon as we arrived Mrs. Patrinakos informed us that she had already prepaid what she had budgeted for her move which was $348.00. (3 men at $116 per hour) After assessing the job the driver informed her that to complete the job it would 5 to 6 hours. She said that was unacceptable and she was only willing to pay the 3 hours. She told the driver to move all the big pieces he could in the time she had prepaid. Two men did not make it to work that day so rather than cancel her job we sent a 2 man crew. The rate was adjusted to $90.00 an hour. Because she was not happy with only 2 men we were able to take a man from another crew to make her happy. We informed Mrs. Patrinakos that we would do our best to keep the job at 3 hours but do to the fact that her furniture was large and her stairway was tight we would not be able to take all the big furniture so she decided to start with the bedroom set and take it from there. We were able to take the bedroom and 4 other pieces. At no point did our men tell her that they had another job to do. Our men like to work as many hours as possible especially around the holidays. She claims she paid another mover $350.00 to finish her move which we dont understand because we would have loved to finish her move. She claims she paid almost $400.00 but in reality she paid $348.00. Of that amount she was refunded $45.00 so her total bill was $303.00. At no point did she pay for our men to take a joy ride as she stated. She only paid for the time we worked. There was never a sprinkler or a ceiling that was ruined. Our company has been in business almost 70 years and that does not happen for a business that is dishonest, unprofessional, and the worst company ever as stated by the customer. The owners and employees take pride in the work they do.
