    Jason and his crew moved a heavy gun safe for me. Very prompt and professional. Highly recommended and would gladly use them again.

    Highly highly recommend!! This is my first time using a moving company, I don't know about other…read moremoving companies but this one, they have made my life so much easier! Shannon was my moving specialist, she is super nice and responsive. I had a million questions and I was very worried about the move, she was very patient with me and walked me through each step, calmed me down. No hidden fees, everything's listed on the quote and if you have any doubt, ask Shannon and she can clear all your doubt out. On the day of my move, the crew arrived on time and were super efficient. All three of them were all very kind and they paid a close attention to the furnitures and all the fragile stuff. As I said, highly recommend. Really nothing to worry about, and if I ever move again, I will hire them.

    We hired this company to pack and move our things in July of 2021. The movers were quick to pack…read moreand load everything onto their truck, but everything the movers did after they loaded everything was completely unprofessional and incompetent. After the truck left our old address, the movers took more than an hour to arrive at the destination which couldn't have been more than a 5 minute drive away. When the movers finally did come back with the truck, they were drinking sodas, so we assumed they just went to lunch. Nothing wrong there -- it was noon and people have to eat. However, at the end of the day they charged us for the hour they were at lunch (see attached photos). At the end of the move when we were unpacking, we saw that the movers had significantly damaged many of our possessions including our printer, an office chair, an office desk, kitchen supplies, our TV console, and had lost many items including the screws needed to reassemble our bed frame. The movers took no responsibility and just told us to search for the lost items in the old apartment (which did not have the missing items). Unfortunately we did not get an upgraded insurance policy as we did not expect a $240/hr company to be this bad at their work. We naively believed that a company with glowing reviews on the internet could do their jobs correctly. Nonetheless, we decided we would settle for the $0.60/lb reimbursement. After nearly a month before we finally got ahold of Prime Moving again for reimbursement, they simply denied that their movers had done the damage and refused to reimburse us for more than $100 for having caused nearly $500 of damage. Apparently if you don't take before and after photos of everything you own, they can just deny that their workers did anything wrong. It's truly a shame that this company won't stand by the quality of their work.

We booked E&A through U-Haul and it was a very easy process from start to finish. And the price was SO reasonable and arguably lower than it should be for how great they were during the day. Would strongly recommend for any moving needs in the Pittsburgh area!

    Awesome value. For context I had a 9AM move between two 1br apartments, both downtown. I was able…read moreto move for 360 in labor, plus outside costs for truck and packing materials. With outside costs the full move came out to around 500$, and a little bit of my time to pack. I spent a good bit of time packing my dishes and other fragile items well. I also left a couple items behind (TV without a box + a family heirloom painting) to move by myself just so I knew there was no chance they could be damaged. Guys showed up on time, were careful with my belongings, and very efficient. No breaks to dishes or damage to furniture. They even helped me maneuver a 17ft uhaul through some tight alleys and loading docks, which was greatly appreciated. Only thing I wish was different was if they could prorate the labor costs. We got everything moved and unloaded into the new unit in the time window I scheduled, which was exactly what I hired them for because I could not do that myself. But I could have used 15-30 more minutes to help arrange furniture and whatnot. I couldn't bring myself to pay for a full hour for something that wouldn't take an hour with the guys helping, and which I could do myself with a little more effort. I definitely would've paid for a 15-30 extra minutes it took if they let me but wasn't gonna pay for the full hour. I would fully recommend, the guys showed up on time, did the job I hired them for, and did it without breaking my stuff at a better rate than any of the other movers I was looking at.

I have used Kelvin in the last five years to clean out three family properties and to conduct two whole-house moves. Then last move this past September was two, 55-foot and one, 20 foot tuck on a 170 mile move (see attached pic). The move was made even more challenging by the fact that it included a family member who has Alzheimer's, and needed to happen quickly and calmly to minimize disturbance to her routine. The team, as always, was professional, meticulous, and careful. I have trusted my family's properties and possessions to Kelvin and Djuan and their team for almost 20 years. I have watched Djuan grow up and become a solid and trustworthy business owner and leader, and know his dad would be proud. I highly recommend Kelvin D and Sons!

I knew what to expect and they absolutely delivered. They moved my furniture quickly and with proper care. They took my bed apart and reassembled it after the move which was a huge convenience. I plan to utilize their services for an upcoming small job. They're responsive and very helpful. I highly recommend hiring them for large and small moving jobs.

    I needed help to move into my apartment, and the Home Team seemed to have good reviews on…read morepromptness, hard working team, and being careful with the furniture. It was easy to book through their website, and $80/hr for 2 people seemed pretty much on par or cheaper than the other options. They were also willing to work just 1 hour, which many other bigger moving companies were not willing to do. On the day of the move, the captain of the move team called me to confirm the time, and they actually were a bit early! The two movers were college football players, and they moved all my things up so quickly. Everything was done professionally, and I was extremely pleased with the move. Of note, you do have to provide the moving van and moving equipment (bellhop, wheels, etc.) since the Home Team only providers the manpower/womanpower. So why the 4 stars, you ask? Well, it was a bureaucracy issue, as always. The movers helped me for 1.25 hours, but I was charged 2 hours. The owner kept saying that the minimum was 2 hours, even though I pre-confirmed that he said 1 hour was the minimum. Fortunately, I booked online so I just took all the screenshots and sent them back to the owner. I also contacted my movers, and they confirmed that they were only paid for 1.25 hours. Then it took 2 weeks for them to say that they charged me in error. Eventually I just filed a dispute with my credit card and was finally refunded. It took THREE WEEKS to refund the difference, and I had to contact someone almost every other day. Given how prompt, courteous, and hard working their movers were, it's incredible how unorganized and honestly corrupt their office was.

Which would mean not only illegal but also driving under the influence. I wish that was the worst that happened.... I called over 15 times to see where our movers were an not one call was answered. Voicemail every time. They finally show up after we have done most of the work already. (What I'm paying them for). They manage to break a concrete coffee table from crate and barrel. Which Is now ruined. Over a 900 dollar coffee table ruined. Which this company is telling me that they'll give me $100 dollars as a refund. LOL a wow!!!! I was originally quoted for 242 for the entire job which was a 3 hour window. I was charged after this entire ordeal $349. More than my quote!!! I will be taking this issue to the BBB as I am at a loss for words with this experience.

However, the movers were an hour late and showed up with an extra person than I was not originally quoted. Which is fine, if it doesn't change my quote, but what I was charged ended up being expodentially higher than what I anticipated based on the quote. Especially since I moved a majority of my items before they arrived. I had most of the items already ready and took apart and put together my bed itself. I even assisted helping move what I had left by loading the smaller items in my car. I moved most of the items before they even arrived so they had really only had the heavy/bigger items that I couldn't take myself. There were also 30 minutes I couldn't even find the movers, even after calling them. I had moved 6 minutes down the road but it took them over 30 minutes to arrive. I had driven back, double checked they got everything, locked everything up, came back to the new place, and still waited another 15 minutes. So they were off somewhere unknown to me. This also lowered my trust in their service. When I asked for an itemized receipt so I could double check how I was being charged, I never heard from them again. If you do decide to use this company, you should know that the quality is excellent because they take care in how your items are moved, their professionalism and communication is great but you may hear them complaining if items are heavy. I think the funniest comment I heard from them was "Everything is heavy Up in this Crib". I would recommend ensuring someone is there the entire time to ensure you track when they leave and when they arrive at the new location and have them itemize the receipt before sending you the bill. A vague receipt won't do to make sure you aren't overcharged.

I asked them to load and I did drive the truck to my out of state destination. I messaged the company just to let them know that I had a couple damaged pieces. Their guys didn't use the pads I provided them, whatever. Wasn't going to leave a review at all, just wanted them to know. Whoever answered got super defensive and pretty combative so here we are with the review. They keep letting me know they aren't liable for anything. Like cool, I'm not trying to get any money. Just letting you know, as a business owner, what went down. Incoming is a super defensive response saying I didn't provide furniture pads or whatever. I predicted the super defensive response! They are lying below. I had pads. 2 packs of pads in the back of the uhaul. I said there were more in the basement if they needed them. One of the guys definitely asked if I had an S.O., said something about my toes (weird) and some other stuff. I'm obviously not going to say something while by myself with them standing right there. I tried to keep this just between me and the owner but here we are slinging mud. Best to stay away, lots of drama. Btw - the exercise bike had wheels and they agreed to move it before I signed the contract.

They will also hand you a "contract" that they believe to be legally binding, however it will be handed to you last minute and you'll be told to sign or they will leave. My advice is to review how toxic the owners responses are, take a picture of the u-haul they rent's license plate, and request verification of their "insurance and bonded" paperwork. What you do after they damage your belongings is call u-haul. They will provide you with all of the information directly. You then file with YOUR local magistrate under a civil matter. THEY ARE REGISTERED OUT OF BUCKS COUNTY. They take possession of your belonging's which encumbrances their auto insurance policy. Its the law. U-haul will have that on file and easily hand it to you :)
