Precision Moving Company - Enough Room for your Whole Home

We had a great experience with our moving company and would highly recommend them. They were very…read moreresponsive and kept in touch with us daily before the move, always patiently answering my questions and helping with anything I needed. The team was professional, polite, patient, and extremely hardworking. They helped me pack almost the entire kitchen, did a tremendous amount of heavy lifting, and were very accommodating with all of our belongings. They were also incredibly smart and resourceful--for example, they figured out how to get our washer through an extremely narrow doorway when we weren't sure it would fit! They truly went above and beyond to make our move as smooth and stress-free as possible. We really appreciated all their hard work and would definitely use them again.

Christian and Jack (hoping I remember their names right) came to the rescue this week! My scheduled…read moremovers flaked, and I called around frantically. Precision hadn't opening and were there a few hours later. They moved me quickly and professionally, despite the short notice and tricky, narrow one-way streets , were able to handle very heavy, very awkward things and easily took doors off their hinges and put them back without anyone being the wiser. I can't say enough, good things about them, and although I hope to not move again for a very long time, I would hope to use them again. They were amazing. Can't recommend enough. Oh and they charged HALF of what I was quoted from every other moving company!

Recently helped my girlfriend relocate from Quincy to Belmont. They were very upfront and honest…read moreabout all the pricing and what they can offer very helpful in every way, very professional, personable, efficient great interaction with me. After the fact, we thought something could possibly be missing. Follow up with easy billing done on site via phone. Everything really great.

I've moved several times, and this was by far my worst moving experience. I hired Octopus to move…read moresome belongings into storage and then move them into my new place a month later. I had a detailed call with them, received a quote, and booked. On moving day, I clearly explained twice which items were being moved and which belonged to my roommate or were staying with me. Despite this, the movers began loading items I had specifically said were not going, including a suitcase I was actively packing and, more concerningly, my backpack containing my work laptop, license, and work ID. They eventually found the backpack, but it created unnecessary stress on an already stressful day. After about an hour, Octopus called to say they needed to send a third mover because I had more items than expected. While I did have a few small items I had forgotten to mention, I had also gotten rid of a large piece of furniture I had originally discussed with them. The additional mover and the extremely slow pace caused my final bill to be about twice my quoted price. I would have understood paying somewhat more, but genuinely twice the cost was a major surprise. I contacted management afterward and had a polite exchange. They provided a small refund, but much of the conversation focused on how I should have sent photos of my belongings for a more accurate quote. I understand that photos can help, but I booked while still packing and expected the estimate to be reasonably close. The second move-in went more smoothly, but some of my furniture was damaged. When I pointed out blue discoloration on my dresser, I was told it was likely due to the rain on moving day. Given that the furniture was wrapped in blankets and plastic, I found that explanation difficult to believe. The mover offered to repaint it, but after a few days, he said that they wouldn't be able to match the paint color. My biggest issue was that the movers struggled to follow basic instructions about what was and wasn't being moved. I understand that mistakes happen during a move, but this caused a lot of avoidable stress, added cost, and damaged belongings. I rarely write negative reviews, but I would not recommend this company.

My move was not easy. I completely underestimated how much stuff we had, but I want you to know…read moreMario and his team at Two Brothers Moving Company were wonderful at accessing my house and adjusting what they needed and began moving items quickly and efficiently. They were true to their word and price quoted. Very efficient and above all so careful with our possessions. He and his team would disassemble and assemble items, made sure they fit perfectly through the doorways, everything you'd want movers to be! I highly recommend this company for any moving needs!

Required an 80% up front deposit. Google Gemini told us this was a fraud red flag. To quote them:…read more"Looking at the screenshots you provided, there are several significant red flags. While the company (Two Brothers Moving) has a valid USDOT number, the specific terms of this quote are highly irregular for the industry. Here is a breakdown of why you should be extremely cautious: 1. The Deposit and Payment Schedule This is the biggest red flag. The quote lists a $7,097.60 deposit and states that 80% of the total is due 24 hours prior to the move. Industry Standard: As mentioned before, reputable movers rarely ask for more than 10-20% upfront. The Risk: By paying nearly $7,100 before they even park the truck at your door, you lose all leverage. If they don't show up, or if they show up and demand more money (a common tactic), you have already handed over the vast majority of the funds. 2. The Price Point The quote is to move a 1-bedroom apartment from Connecticut to Virginia. Context: While long-distance moves are expensive, nearly $9,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment is significantly higher than average market rates. For a move of roughly 350 miles, a 1-bedroom usually ranges between **$2,500 and $5,000**, depending on the level of service. The "Per Diem": They are charging you $450 for "Overnight lodging per mover." Most major carriers bake these costs into the line-haul rate rather than line-iteming hotel stays for the crew. 3. Discrepancy in "Project Type" The quote explicitly labels this as a "Local Move" in the Project Information section. Why this matters: Moving from CT, to VA, is an Interstate Move, not a local one. Labeling it as "local" can sometimes be a way to bypass certain federal consumer protection regulations that apply specifically to interstate household goods movers. 4. The Platform The URL app.supermove.co is a legitimate software platform used by many moving companies to manage bookings. However, just because a company uses professional software doesn't mean their specific business practices or pricing are fair. Summary & Recommendation I would not sign this or pay that deposit. An 80% pre-payment for an 1-bedroom move is predatory. Even if the company is "real," these terms are designed to protect them entirely while leaving you with zero protection if things go wrong."
