The men, Franco, Darren, and Ken came to pack and move our home called early to confirm their time of arrival. They then called within 30 minutes of their time of arrival. They were courteous asked questions and worked for the next 6 hours. There were large pieces of furniture that took some thinking on how to get them through narrow doors. There were fragile pieces of furniture that were packaged far better than I would have done protecting our valuables. All the furniture was moved without any scratches on walls or corners. They communicated and worked well as a team. I would highly recommend Citywide Moving.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring BLACK EAGLE MOVING for a residential move, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the initial contact to the final item being placed in my new home, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The team from BLACK EAGLE MOVING arrived right on schedule, which was the first sign of their professionalism. They were not only punctual but also came prepared with all the necessary tools and materials to ensure a smooth move. The crew was courteous, attentive, and displayed a commendable work ethic throughout the day. One aspect that particularly stood out was their attentiveness to my specific needs. They listened carefully as I outlined my preferences for the move, especially regarding the handling of delicate furniture pieces and valuable items. Their ability to accommodate these requests without hesitation or issue was truly appreciated. As for the actual moving process, I was thoroughly impressed by the efficiency and care with which BLACK EAGLE MOVING operated. Each piece of furniture was handled with the utmost respect and attention to detail. Not a single item suffered any damage, thanks to their meticulous packing and careful maneuvering. The way they managed to navigate bulky items through tight spaces without so much as a scratch on the walls was remarkable. Their positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond did not go unnoticed. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for BLACK EAGLE MOVING, and they deliver on that promise with excellence. In conclusion, the service provided by BLACK EAGLE MOVING was superb. The combination of their professional demeanor, precise adherence to my requests, and the flawless execution of the move has left a lasting impression.

Thank you Ofelia's moving, I couldn't have done it without you. They accommodated me literally 2 days before my move when another company that I had booked cancelled. The movers did a wonderful job of wrapping, packing, and loading up my furniture and other items safely. I had zero damage to anything and they were fast, professional and efficient. Highly Recommended.

Ivan, Abraham and Julio were on time. They were extremely careful with all my furniture, wrapping excellently to protect everything. They worked non stop from the moment they arrived until the job was completed. They all were very polite and very obliging. Ivan is a magician in fitting everything into the Pod. I would highly recommend them for any moving requirements anyone would have 10 out of 10.
