    Paperwork of a fine job well done.
    Chris H.

    This was my first time using professional moving services in Chicago and it was a bit.. overwhelming at first. You kinda feel like the prettiest girl or guy at the dance and you have all these people ( companies) fighting for your attention. I looked on Google, Yelp and etc to find the right moving company for me. Crescent Movers was the first organization to contact me and gave me an exceptional quote right away. Alex, was really nice and honest with the quote and setting me up with the appointment. Now today.. Moving day, I'm so excited to move to the area of Ravenswood, Chicago area. Helping me get adjusted with the move and starting the day off right, I had Luis ( an exceptional and friendly leader contact me at 9:15 am about being en route to my old location. Luis and his incredible team of Alex and Jay were friendly and extremely professional and got right to work. Luis, Jay and Alex moved like it was a fire drill and they moved everything out of my old place in 45 mins and were gone-- driving to my new place to help me setup my new apartment. I cannot thank Luis, Alex and Jay for the quick work they made of moving my stuff into my apartment. I believe that Crescent Movers has a great team, especially with Luis, Jay and Alex in their organization. If moving this easy, especially with Crescent Movers and those guys, I'll always look forward to making moves with this team. I hope my review sheds some light on how awesome these guys are.

    "We want to make it right" is what they told me... If I can give zero stars, I would. I've used Crescent before and had no problem. That's why I went back to them, I even had some of the same guys to help with this move. This time things were different. They damaged a number of my beds, walls and floors when they moved things into my new house. Pictures below show some of the damage. They sent a representative out to my house to survey the damage. They best they offered up was $300 back. The alleged totally bill was over $2,000. To refinish a floor, $300 doesn't even cover the labor to fix a hardwood floor. It took them over a week to finally and officially offer up the $300. That's after a $200 check was offered 4 days after the move. The damage was well over $3,000 all said and done. I had a professional look at my floor and to fix the floor and have to redo the entire section. Let alone the beds that were destroyed, walls damaged for just plain carelessness. I had asked for my money back from the move. I still tipped each mover 20%. I thought that was fair. I get things get damaged, but this was excessive. I wanted to stick with a local, Chicago company. I would NEVER recommend using this company. They don't care. "Brian" (the owner or boss) is a crook who only wants money. Not one time did Brian extend a professional courtesy and call me directly, I was dealing with Joey. Nice enough guy, he's the one who came to my house and said the damage was accessible and that they "would make it right." Wake up call Crescent, this is far from "make it right." Full disclosure, I didn't take their $300. It's the principle in making things right.

    How does a pot even get this damaged?!?

    Not the company they used to be. I've used Crescent movers several times over the last ten years and I honestly can't believe how poorly my last move went....even worse is that they refuse to pay for my damaged items. My mattress was ruined, all my pots and pans are smashed - how does that even happen?!? All my glasses are shattered. All of my lamps were damaged. All my wooden furniture is scratched. The worst part is that I was offered $100 to make up for the mistakes of the movers. I had paid more than that to have them pack my stuff. After WEEKS they told me $400 was the best they could do. There's over $2000 worth of damaged items. The staff said insurance pays $.30/pound but this wasn't an issue due to the truck crashing or something like that. It was poor care. Oh also, my mover told me I didn't tip him enough. I gave the 2 of them them $400 in tips.

    Moving day!

    I moved from a storage facility to a 1-BR apartment up three flights of stairs. Tony and Santiago showed up early and moved everything in 3 hours. Both were courteous and professional. They took great care with my furniture and boxes so as to prevent scratches/damages - wrapped and taped everything. This is one of the cheapest estimates I received around this area and there are no hidden fees - EXCEPT you have to pay for every roll of tape they go through, which is $3 or so. If you can request Tony and Santiago, I would highly recommend them!

    Would give 10 stars if I could. These guys are amazing and so quick. We moved from one 3rd floor walk up apartment to another 3rd floor walk up apartment. They did the move in 3 hours. It was such a hot day. The price was extremely reasonable. Were very friendly and accommodating. I can't say enough about how great they were. I would recommend to everyone.

The team confirmed all the details ahead of time, including my request to move over 10 pieces of artwork. They estimated a 5-hour move with three men, and on the day of the move, they arrived promptly at 8 AM, worked efficiently, and completed the move-out by 1 PM. The move-in process at my new home started at 1 PM and wrapped up around 3 PM. Throughout the day, the team was respectful, careful with my belongings, and truly seemed to go the extra mile. I was so appreciative of their hard work that when the team lead, Sergio, requested a cash tip, I went to the ATM and withdrew $500 -- $200 of which I gave directly to the crew as they finished up. Unfortunately, this is where my experience took a sharp turn. I placed the remaining $300 in my purse, consisting of one $100 bill and $200 in $20 bills. After noticing the sky open up around 2:30 PM with heavy rain, I felt even more sympathetic to their efforts and decided to give them an additional $100. When I went to retrieve the money, I was shocked to find my purse had been disturbed and only $100 (in 20's) remained. To make matters worse, when I returned to my old apartment to finish cleaning, I found a pile of belongings left behind. Despite paying for a full-service move, it seems the crew simply decided some of my things weren't worth taking. The lack of communication and care was beyond frustrating. And if all of that wasn't enough, after providing my email address multiple times, I still have not received an itemized receipt, invoice, or a clear breakdown of charges. The final bill came to $2,145 -- almost twice the original estimate -- leaving me furious. After deducting the $100 deposit, I owed $2,045. I understand that moving is tough and unexpected factors can arise, but the dramatic increase in cost combined with the apparent theft, lack of accountability, and poor service left a lasting impression. I cannot in good conscience recommend All My Sons dba "New City Moving." While the physical labor of the move was well done, the lack of integrity and professionalism by at least one member of the crew completely ruined the experience. If you decide to use this company, I strongly advise keeping your valuables secured, double-checking that all your belongings are loaded, documenting all interactions, and following up on the communication regarding your charges.

From my first chat with Roy to saying bye to him in MA this move was a breeze. Roy took the time to explain all my options, including not using his service. After talking I decided to use his team because of his reasonable price and my confidence in him. He made himself available to me by text prior to the move and assured me all my anxieties were unfounded. On move day he and his team loaded my things quickly and carefully. He even confirmed which boxes were fragile. After he left I flew to MA and the next day around noon they arrived to unload my things. Everything, including my white (!!!) couch, was in perfect condition. A one day turn around for a long distance move is unheard of. Their service was above and beyond. I am appreciative of their kindness and courtesy. Roy and his team weren't just professional they were personal. They truly care about their clients. I am grateful for them making a stressful and emotional relocation as easy as possible. Using Roy and his team for this move was the best choice. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers short/long distance.
