Charlie stopped by to give us a free on site quote and was very competitive to other movers we sought estimates from. He provided a not-to-exceed figure so this was very helpful when budgeting our moving costs. We booked the job based on yelp reviews alone as we didn't have a personal referenced to go by. We opted to move our 2 flat screen TVs ourselves and our fine arts since those are easier for us to transport and we saved some moving costs in that area.
Moving day - The moving team (total of 4 movers) arrived on time at 8AM and were very motivated to get things going. We packed and sorted best as we could. We did have some other smaller items that were to be left behind. They communicated well and asked alot of questions which is good since we had loose items on countertops which we needed to leave behind, as well as a couple of bar stools, and a few kitchen items.
Bear in mind that we live on the 3rd floor with NO elevator access. And a bonus is that It was raining cats and dogs that day. We moved to another 3rd floor unit within the same community also WITHOUT an elevator. They were on full "BEAST MODE" and got everything packed, moved and unloaded in 8 hours up and down 3 flights of stairs. This included a full floor-level garage we also stored things in - which was not 100% packed in boxes. They got the garage loaded and unloaded in an hour.
