Rich May and his team performed an excellent job. They loaded our truck at the house very efficiently, effectively, and with great care. They were prepared with the tools the needed to disassemble the appropriate furniture. They unloaded it at the storage facility in the same fashion. They completed the job within the 4 hour estimate. I definitely recommend them and I would use them again.

Movers (believe it was Frank and Chad) showed up early and were even more helpful than we expected. Movers were extremely nice and attentive to our wishes as we moved things. We have extra time now to finish cleaning and everything else we need to do. They did so much work in two hours, very worth it, and highly recommended!

The guys were great to work with. I was able to stay in close communication with the team lead (Samson) to manage when his team would arrive based on when my pod would be delivered. They were on time, very respectful of us and our belongings, and worked extremely hard in high temps. They unwrapped all the furniture after it was moved in. They helped me put together a piece of furniture too.

Movers were great. We had a very expertly packed 16 foot truck packed to the brim and our 2 movers did a great job getting it all up to our 2nd floor apartment. I would use this company again...very friendly when I called to check in on the reservation and on moving day also.

They arrived when they were told to arrive and worked quickly and efficiently. They were very respectful and careful with our belongings. Helpful and courteous the entire time. There was a small mixup between when the service told them to arrive and when we expected them, but it wasn't their fault. We would use them again for another move.

Adrian and his team from Quality 1 Movers did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them if you need moving or packing assistance. The team was on time, professional and a pleasure to work with. They were more than prepared for the job, work diligently at the job and very respectful of not only the items they were moving but also the space they were moving the goods into. I have their contact information and will be using them in the future.

Due to hurricane-like weather, the start time was delayed and I appreciated that. 3 fellows hit the ground running, moved boxes, furniture and "stuff" as though everything was precious. Finished in good time and the load they provided rode over 1000 miles without a hitch. I have no intention of ever moving again but there are those in my family who move quite often and they have already heard about these fellows.
