Sam & Tony did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them!!
— Danso G.

Damien and the crew did a magnificent job of moving and packing out the contents of our large house. The entire time, they were hustling and often running. I overheard directions to the crew about the importance of safety and safely moving our goods. One of the crew had a medical issue and his family and had to leave, but instead of stopping the work, they called in 2 more crew including the owner of the company, James. The care that they took in wrapping our furniture before placing in the ABF/U-Pack 28 foot long industrial trailer was unexpected, but very welcome. Boxes were carefully transported down our long driveway to the trailer. It was a team of 4 to start, but what excellent teamwork. Even when challenged with tough packing of unusual and heavy equipment in addition to our household items, they rose to the challenge and knocked it out of the park. They were consistently polite even to each other and treated teammates and us as customers with respect. Communication was exceptional and results amazing. Would use them again without hesitation and reservation.

Movers | AAA Allstar Movers & Cleaners, LLC
The two movers did a very good job. However, I wished the owner sent an email, text or called at least 24hrs to let me know that they are still coming then another call at least 30min before arrival. This would be less concerning the night before and day of. Thus reason for a 4 star instead of 5 star. Other than that, the service was good.

Airus Movers were a delight to work with for our move! I had an address change, and their customer service was easy to contact and were very accommodating. The guys arrived early and got right to work loading my stuff on the truck. Unloading was the same, they were careful, efficient, and quick getting everything into the proper rooms. While I hope I don't need to move any time soon, I would gladly use them again!

Movers | Armstrong Moving & Labor
I got 3 guys to help with a move. Awesome young boys who worked really hard. I ordered a 9-10am move. They texted us to let us know they were showing up at 830 so we had to scramble a bit. Very respectful of the home I moved out of. I moved into a tight 4 story townhome (thank you Seattle). The boys did the best they could moving bigger furniture into one of these terrible townhomes. I would use again.

Movers | Armstrong Moving & Labor
It was a small job - took them less than 1 hour, but there were a couple of very difficult pieces of furniture to move downstairs, and they made it look easy. This is the second time I have used MOVING 4 U, and both times the crews were very good and eager to help! If I should ever need to move again they will be my first choice.

These guys were great! They asked if they could come a bit early and came ready to work. They were very considerate with all of my heavy boxes and furniture when unloading my Pod, and put them in organized piles where I wanted them in the house without me having to micromanage. I would highly recommend this company.
