These picture are what remained after our "completed" pack and move.
Sean J.

DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!! I had several issues with the move, including them not packing and moving everything (which cost me several hundred more dollars to hire a second moving company). Below is exactly what I sent to A Better Tripp in an email immediately after the move. They have done nothing to rectify this situation other than to say "we are within our legal window to respond." Wow, what great customer service!! The email is below: 1. As I explained to Dan this was supposed to be a complete pack and move, with the exception of a few items that I specified, including to the movers. Specifically, the closet in the guest bedroom and certain items in my son's room were to be excluded. While the movers were there, I was able to remove all of the things from my son's room that were excluded and instructed the movers that EVERYTHING else in the room was to be packed and moved. Unfortunately, there were multiple non-furniture items in every single room that the movers neglected to move. Just by way one of many examples, there were two trunks to moved and only one was moved (see picture). They were within five feet of each other. Just a note that, with the exception of one chair in the master bath, all of the furniture was moved; the movers were instructed not to move the table in the 2nd picture. Also, I had already personally moved several boxes before I took the pictures, including six boxes I loaded as the movers sat in their trucks waiting to depart for the new house. None of the movers offered to help me with those. 2. Movers are not packers and packers are not movers. Having a mover pack makes no sense. Things, such as small Rubbermaid containers, were unnecessarily very carefully wrapped. This was not only unnecessary but it also added to the materials cost. 3. Boxes were not properly labeled. Seven boxes were labeled as kitchen. This was not helpful in trying to find silverware. 4. A glass was broken and not cleaned up (see picture). 5. When I heard the trucks start, I went and checked the storage room on the back of the garage (something I had discussed in detail with Dan and shown him on the walk-through) and it had not been touched. When I brought this to the attention of the foreman he chastised me and scolded me for not telling him about it. 6. My daughter's headboard was damaged by, apparently, oil that was on the moving blanket. Even though someone had attempted to clean it (it was wet with chemical) nobody brought it to my attention. When I brought it to the foreman's attention he also seemed to be unaware of it but assured me "I will tell my boss." When you and I spoke on Monday you were not aware of it. These are the things that come to mind, at the moment. Needless to say, after paying $3,300 for a move, the most tedious and hardest part remains. This is not what I paid for and far from the experience I expected. I have now schedules another moving company, at an expense of at least $500 and my time and my wife's time, to come back in and do what I expected A Better Tripp to do.

It took 14 hours costing $2,200 to move a 2bed/2bath and 1/4 garage with the excuse that it's because they had to use stars to get to the second floor instead of an elevator. They charged me for their lunch break as well until I said something about it. As I'm unpacking I'm missing several items. I'm going to have to pull the boxes out of my storage unit to find my stroller, new dishes and several other items. Now that my payment has cleared no one will return my calls or emails to help with any of these issues.

David & Gil were efficient, professional and friendly during our move from Houston to The Texas Hill Country. Top class!

Downtown, Fourth Ward

There were red flags I ignored and shouldn't have. We called twice and got two different rates…read morewithin the same day. 100/hr cash 120/hr card first rate we received, these rates hiked up to 135 cash 175 card. We did a video call so they can give an estimate, we never received an estimate. The movers came to pack move and unpack. They didn't know they were supposed to be packing/unpacking. I had to call and confirm instead of them. They left my front door wide open and never turned the gate back on so if I hadn't gone back for cleaning supplies my door would've been left open over night. When I told the only guy who spoke English he said "I wasn't the last one out" no apologies just a lazy answer. They never unpacked properly. I started unpacking the kitchen, so they had an idea of where things went. They didn't try, they just unpacked random stuff and threw it in places. Appliances were disassembled which could have easily been put together. My cake stand was in two thrown on the counter top with a box over the glass in an unsafe manner. They said they were scheduled to come back tomorrow and when I called to complain about how the place left they said the job was done and I should've said something before they left. I told them they should leave instead of waiting for me to return after picking up my daughter they told me had to pay. Which understood I'll pay for the day, but the packing job was not done. These are scammers. It's been a long time since I dealt with a business like this but this one beware.

Crew did not do as I asked to cover my chair when moving it. They seemed to complain and unhappy…read moreabout moving my items. Didn't appreciate the attitude

Debbie Pakzaban And the best value and incredible employees!

I cannot reccomend this moving company enough. We just used ironback movers for a full service move…read morefrom Houston to San Fransisco. I interviewed about 6 moving companies and right away from talking with Abner I felt comfortable. Other moving companies were very persistent, trying to sell me, and seemed dishonest. Abner was very responsive and straight forward but did not contact me again after initial quote until I decided to go with him. He garunteed pick up date and arrival date (and time and was 10 minutes early each time!) which was huge for us as our move had to be very scheduled and other companies quoted us a 2 week interval (or more!) of when our items would be delivered. His crew in Houston arrived and packed our entire apartment, included disassembling basic items. They were extremely professional and efficient. Every item even valuable and breakable items arrived in perfect condition. He met us in San Fransisco 5 days later and him and two others unloaded all our boxes and assembled any dissassembled items. Again very professional and efficient. Iron back movers turned what could have been a very stressful move into 0 stress. Abner was extremely hardworking, professional, and easy to work with as was every member of his team. We hope we can use him for any future moves even though we are no longer in Houston!

The three gentlemen who helped our family worked incredibly hard from start to finish. They handled all of our belongings with exceptional care, treating everything as if it were their own. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and positive attitudes truly stood out. They were also friendly, respectful, and a pleasure to work with. We would absolutely hire Flores Moving Company again in the future and will gladly recommend them to our family and friends. Thank you for making our move such a great experience!

The quality of moving furniture of the two main guys was great. The 2 worked hard. For the value I feel it was too expensive for 7 hours. We paid almost $1600. I was very unhappy that they banged up my furniture leaving scratches & dings. When I told showed them how terrible was furniture was dinged they just said "Oh it was already there" Although I know it wasn't because the furniture had not been moved since we bought it 4 years ago. We had to buy paint correctors to cover up the damage. and they dropped my fridge door when they removed the doors to relocate it. And now it's looks horrible and the stainless steel looks dinged and beat up now. They also left the fridge alarm going off continuously due to one the damage door that could not close completely. They justified it by saying it happens and it has to be reprogrammed but they didn't even take into consideration that they dropped the door causing damage. It cost me more money to use this moving company. Otherwise, they were polite & hardworking I just wish they would have put more care & caution into their hard work & effort. Overall we were unlucky & unhappy with Flores Moving Company.

Updated Review - June 2026…read more I am updating my previous five-star review from August 2025 because my experience on June 19, 2026 was dramatically different. As a widow and parent of a medically fragile daughter, I chose this company specifically because of the excellent service I received last year. This time, the crew worked for approximately five hours with no complaints. The lead driver performed a walkthrough, used my bathroom, and the team packed and loaded belongings without raising any concerns about the condition of the home. Everything changed when it came time to move our stacked washer and dryer unit (329 lbs). Suddenly, the lead driver claimed the apartment was so filthy it was making him sick and they could no longer continue. This was the first time any issue was mentioned. Two days prior, maintenance workers had been in the same apartment and specifically commented on how clean it was. I was left with furniture, beds, and belongings still in the old apartment while the crew stopped for about an hour before disappearing. I had to scramble to figure out what happened to my possessions. Since arriving at the new place, we have also discovered multiple damaged items (couch, end table, broken patio chair, etc.) that were not damaged prior to the move. This experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I have no problem leaving glowing feedback when a company performs well -- I did so previously. Unfortunately, this move fell far short of the professional service I expected and paid for. I would not recommend or use this company again. And they still charged me $825 for half a move. --------------- Previous review from August 2025: I cannot say enough nice things about Ethan, Patrick and Chrisean who helped me and my daughter move. We could NOT have done it without them. That's the truth. They were the nicest guys and so efficient. I just unpacked all the china they packed for me and I'm amazed at how quickly they were able to do that and with such care and precision. I will only ever use this company for my moving needs. That's the truth. Services Senior moving, Local moving, Moving-related packing, Oversized-item moving
