The team arrived, on time and got straight to work. They came with their own equipment as needed and caught up to us from a prep perspective very quickly. The team actively, moved from section to section of the store to keep the move in motion while we finished disconnecting. Team members even jumped in when we were having prep issues. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to make a move in the area they service.

My mother had first hired R&G Services two years ago to help me with a move between apartments. They did such an excellent job then that they were the first people I considered to work with my husband and I as we transitioned from our apartment to a house. We hired 2 movers for 3 hours. Impressive business! Their pricing is incredibly reasonable, they are timely and efficient--our movers arrived on the mark, and were completed exactly at the 3 hour finish time--and all around friendly and personable. They take extreme care in the items they handle and never make you worry that your personal belonging will be damaged upon loading or delivery. They also worked with me as I coordinated a moving truck, offering me advice on the size I would need and about renting pads. I would highly recommend them to others needing moving service. I could also foresee a time in the future when we would work with them for their sheds/playground sets... Wonderful company, wonderful services!

they were very good workers and took care not to damage anything. They could have stacked some furniture in the truck to save me some space but overall i would use them again and will not would recomend them to anyone I know who needs that kind of help. they were on time and looked proffesional with uniforms. I think they even worked longer than was contracted without charging any extra,

I think that the 2 guys you sent got the job done and they had to work in the rain! I would recommend your service. The only thing is they didn't come with a handtruck but we had one of those. I would suggest that you make sure they have at least 2 or 3 of those! Otherwise they did a good job and were very nice.
