S & L movers were fantastic! Punctual, friendly, efficient, SMART (loading an entire house into pods takes some careful thinking) and seemed to enjoy what they were doing despite excessive heat and humidity the day they were with us. I cannot recommend them enough-----they made a stressful day much easier. Thank you S & L!

our movers showed up on time, got right to work and were friendly and polite. I would highly recommend them. Great communicator from the company as well. They called that morning to ask if we could move our time back an hour and it was perfectly fine with us. It allowed them time to give the customer before us excellent service and then us excellent service.

Movers | S & L Express Moving Services
The movers were very polite and helpful moving all our furniture back in the house after our floors were refinished. They worked really well with my husband, always asked him where items should be placed and were very respectful of our items and worked really hard. They were about an hour late, but called to let us know their ETA.
— Kate H.

Terrence and Damian did a wonderful job of working the entire time and moving all our furniture out. They did not arrive on time, but I received two phone calls telling me their location and the approximate time they would arrive. I very much appreciated this and understand that Chicago traffic can be unpredictable. They had all the tools needed in their vehicle, worked very hard, and were extremely respectful to me and my daughters. They treated all our furniture with care and had some great suggestions as to how to move certain pieces of furniture. Even though they were hot and tired they were still smiling at the end of the job and asking me what else they could do to help. I hope I get the same crew when I have to move my furniture again. Well done!
— Kate H.
