The movers were on time and the start of the move went smoothly. Our remaining things (we had packed & moved quite a bit of it ourselves beforehand) were packed professionally on the 18th and were to be moved to our new home on the 19th...so we thought. Honestly, I do believe that the movers went above and beyond to make sure we were pleased with the service but it fell apart. We had went to the old house on the 19th to see to things were going, which was fine so we left the movers around 1 pm to do their work but before we left, I did ask for an estimated time when they thought they would arrive. which I was told a few hours later and I was fine with that. 7:30 that night my things had still not arrived so I got on the phone to call the owner and got the answering machine twice, left messages begging for the owner to call me but no return calls came until Monday evening when it was time to collect. I had also gotten the cell number for one of the movers so I called it....no answer the 1st time so I left a message. About a half hour later, Donny returns my call, sounding half dead...I felt sorry for him and the rest of the guys so I suggested (not insisted) that they hold off on delivery until the next day. Turned out that Donny lied to the rest of the crew saying that I refused delivery until the next day (which was not true) and they should pack it in and go home for the night. Monday afternoon, our things finally arrive but I was told that not everything was on the truck but not to worry. The bedrooms were setup and the boxes were put where they needed to go and the "move" finished around 7:30 that night with me buying dinner for the guys. The Owner finally called me to settle up on my bill and apologized for falling asleep and not hearing the answering machine, apologized for the miscommunication and the inconvenience my husband and I went through but did not offer to take anything off my bill....I insisted on and took $200 off which he agreed to, bringing my total to $2,149 which I paid in cash. In the conversation, the owner offered to go back to the house to get the rest of our things free of charge which I turned down because I didn't think at the time that it was so much and I could handle it myself. My question is....You got two panicked calls from me Sunday night...Why did it take another full 24 hours to return ANY of my calls when we had no clue where our things were and if it was safe?? Did you sleep 24 hours? I don't think so.....It was just too much effort for you and you couldn't have cared less to be completely blunt. The next day, my husband and I went back to the old house to see what was left and were shocked....pieces that I had insisted were moved were left inside the house..my printer that I use in my business was left in a black garbage bag in the alley behind the house in the alley along with other items, enough to fill the trunk and backseat of my car. There was so much left that we had to rent a UHAUL and hire someone else to get it out which we finally did on 10/23. In the days later, we discovered that my husband's Oxycontin medication that he needs to live, was taken from his dresser during the move in on 10/20. No one but the movers were in the house so it narrows it down as to who did the "borrowing". They took 26 20 mg pills and was "kind" enough to leave him 8 pills to make it on nearly a week until it was time for the next refill. My 91 year old husband had to suffer nearly a week at the hands of these people. This medication was supplied by the VA so I had to file a mandatory police report to get the VA to replace the pills, which they finally did do. The owner was called BEFORE the VA was and was told exactly what I had to do and he told me to do what I needed to do and that he would do some checking but he had his suspicions who might have taken the pills....YEAH RIGHT...He has yet to pick up the phone and call me. What a way to run a business! I really hated to have to write such a negative review but I'm not going to lie either. I don't lie in my arts business which I've run for 32 years and I won't lie to save someone's a**. What happened is the absolute truth... I couldn't make this stuff up.....my imagination isn't that good. Can I honestly recommend this moving company to anyone after our hellish experience? NO!!!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Don't try to save a few bucks...you'll be sorry you did. read more

These guys ticked a lot of boxes. Major points for me, ordered by how early in the process they were encountered. 1. Clear about what they needed from me to offer a quote. 2. Nice online interface to request service (I submitted my request through yelp) and specify what the move is going to look like. I answered the questions about my move correctly. I think this relationship with yelp makes a lot of sense, in the case of searching for a business that one would only contract every few years or less frequently. 3. Quick response, once I submitted to them my needs 4. Called me to clarify a few details I didn't specify in the online request that they knew would be important and noticed the absence of. Expertise. 5. Offered me a time estimate for arrival, and an estimate for the total move's time based on what I told them I needed to move and the terminal locations. Both were right on. 6. A very smooth actual move. Two guys greeted me, set up the truck and ramp. One came in (COVID-19 era; he asked me if it was ok to head in. He also wore a face mask and gloves), scouted the room, focusing on some big potentially problematic items (like a very large amplifier and very heavy, unusually shaped ergo office chair), made the plan, and then they proceeded to make just a few trips in tandem with the other mover. These trips quickly loaded all my belongings into the truck. The other end, unpacking the truck, was no different. All I could think during the experience was "these are some pros, I can't wait to tip them." All I could think afterwards was "that was really worth it." read more

I can't say enough good things about JC and his crew at Culmer Moving & Labor Solutions. From the time I reached out to JC, he was attentive and answered all my questions, whether it was on a phone call or if I texted him in the wee hours of the night. His crew (Rich & Rob) showed up when he said they would and were extremely polite and hard-working. After they introduced themselves, I took them around to show them exactly what we needed them to do. They wasted no time in carefully wrapping all of our delicate and heavy furniture and had it loaded into a POD pretty quickly, considering how much there was. When they were done, we did another walk-through to make sure they took care of what we needed. They handled everything so professionally and I was amazed at how there was no damage whatsoever to any walls, trim or corners. This was my first experience using a moving company and I was worried after reading some horror stories of other companies. In addition, they were very reasonably priced! I will definitely be using Culmer Moving & Labor Solutions again in the future (when the POD needs to be UN-loaded!). read more

I had to move two apartments to a newly purchased home and had JC send me two guys for the three hour standard time. JC sent out Ron and Rob to do our move and let me tell you all something, those guys were second to none when it came to the job! They worked their asses off moving just my heavy items. They had to bring many of the items down steps and never once hesitated or complained about anything! They even moved a sofa-bed and never once touched the fabric to a wall, door, anything! These two guys were simply amazing! I had never thought anyone could move two apartments of heavy furniture in just three hours but these guys did! Not only load it but unload it to the new house as well! The entire time I was being asked if I was satisfied. These guys worked non stop for the three hours and got the job done! Nobody could have done better! I HIGHLY recommend this company and especially these two guys! Call JC for your move! You'll be glad you did! read more

Needed to move a household of belongings from Highland Park into storage in Penn Hills. I emailed several businesses, and CJ Culmer replied immediately. He met me at the house, gave me an estimate, went with me to verify the contents would fit into the storage unit, and gave me packing suggestions to save money. He was on time for every meeting. He called, emailed or texted appropriately and in a timely way. I felt very confident he would do the job per our discussion. He thought of all the questions that needed to be answered to put the belongings into storage. He exceeded my expectations. The move went without a hitch. His team was prompt, careful, and friendly. They were a team who had worked together over time and were well coordinated in their efforts. They were very personable. Everything went great. I would highly recommend CJ and his crew!

This is a much belated review. We had Culmer Moving move us on Nov. 5, 2015, from our house and 2 storage units into a 26' box truck we rented. JC was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. JC's 4-man crew arrived promptly and everything went better than expected, and the price was right too. We were originally going to get a major moving company to move us to Florida, however the price was outrageous. We saved thousands (no joke) renting our own truck, have JC load us and have a crew in Florida unload us. His right-hand man Bill was unbelievable. He could pack a 5 bedroom house into a shoe box. We would highly recommend Culmer Moving to anyone. read more

I had an extremely good experience with Culmer Moving. They moved me from Stow, Ohio to Pittsburgh, PA. They took great care in preparing and moving my furniture, and were patient and helpful with my requests. They even moved my piano! They offered my a better price than their competitors and I was not disappointed one bit with their performance. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and I would recommend them to everyone. JC was professional and read more

Culmer moving staff were professional, polite, prompt, and paid attention to detail! Even on a Holiday weekend! JC was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. His crew was very good about dissassembling the Ikea furniture, kept track of all the pieces and reassembled in new house.They navigated our very steep and narrow stairs with no issue. Would highly recommend them and would certainly use them again. Thank you JC and crew! read more

This was our first time moving with a professional company and Culmer was excellent! Despite some small bumps in the road (one of the guys cancelled last minute, so we only had two movers instead of three but the rate was adjusted right away), everything was quick and efficient. Mike and Brian were so friendly and willing to do whatever they could for us and kept us in the loop about everything going on. Highly recommend! read more

In forty years of moving from place to place, I have never been better served--seriously. I needed help loading a 10x25 storage unit into a 7x26' truck. JC & Moe were punctual, friendly, energetic and knowledgeable about how to best load a truck. They took better care of our household goods than I do. They went way beyond adequate service to fantastic service. I highly recommend Culmer Moving & Labor Solutions. read more

You should not hire anyone else to help you move. I've moved a lot over the years and it has always been unpleasant--this move was the first one with a crew I actually trusted and enjoyed. The guys were great. Super efficient, professional, polite, even funny. They knew exactly what they were doing and solved every problem with no wasted time. Absolutely great experience; reasonable cost; well-organized. read more

Couldn't have been happier with this move. Culmer moved my Mother from a 3 BR house to storage and Jim and his crew could not have been more efficient, professional, and cordial. It was a very hot day but they worked quickly and efficiently. Rates were fair and very reasonable. We will definitely be using them again in the very near future to move her from storage to her new home. read more

Very easy process to get ahold of them and get an estimate(which was pretty accurate). Took longer than I expected but ONLY because they were so thorough and nothing in my move was damaged or broken in any way. Even after the move I couldn't find something so I called and asked and they were very happy to explain where they put it. Would definitely use them again! read more

Culmer Moving moved me from my house to my condo. Every member of the team was polite, friendly and very careful with my belongings. The move was not stressful due to the team that moved me. Everything was professionally set up great in my new place. I highly recommend Culmer Moving and if I ever needed a mover again, they would be the first I would call!! read more

BEST MOVING COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. From scheduling to the men who moved me, everything was above expectation. I've moved a lot in my life and this is by far the best moving company I've ever had. Very professional and efficient- treated my belongings with extreme care above what any other company has done for me in the past. I highly recommend! read more

After being royally screwed by another moving company that shall remain nameless, I called these guys the morning of our move on a hope and a prayer. They were able to accommodate my time, showed up punctually, and were personal and professional the entire time. They definitely bailed us out, and I would recommend them to anyone viewing this review. read more

We had the best experience from start to finish. Booking our move was easy, call staff were polite and helpful. On the day of the move our moving crew was excellent. They we're all great guys, hard workers and really did an outstanding job. 10/10 would hire again and recommend! Thank you! read more

Excellent experience. Arrived on time. Took great care of my belongings. Worked quickly. It was a difficult move with many steps on both ends and they did a wonderful job in a pleasant fashion. Could not find a thing to complain about and would highly recommend for any moving needs. read more

I have used this company for two moves and I will definitely use them again. Friendly, fast and responsive. AK and his crew were easy to work with and were pleasant and fun to spend the day with. Their rates are great and they always show up on time and are super fast! read more
