We recently moved from Bartlett to Lockport with Falcon Movers. The packing crew and movers were excellent--on time, professional, and incredibly hardworking. We even tipped the crew $300 because they truly earned it. Unfortunately, two issues made the experience frustrating. First, the team forgot to load our patio furniture and grill. With the truck already packed, they had to unpack and reorganize everything, which took an extra 1.5 hours. While the owner did adjust the bill slightly, crediting just 30 minutes, they were very resistant to doing even that--despite the delay being entirely due to their oversight. Second, two glass drawers from our vintage nightstand were broken. Falcon promised to repair them, but when replacements were delivered, they weren't packaged and cracked instantly. Rather than taking responsibility, they blamed us--claiming we must have over-tightened a knob we've never touched. We've never written a negative review before. If you hire Falcon, don't pay in full until every issue is resolved.

I strongly recommend against using this mover. Not responsive when you need them, break your stuff, lie to you about discounts and pickups, don't estimate time properly, and pay employees extra if you leave a good review. Here are the details: The central office (David, Carlos) are very diligent and responsive in getting you an estimate, and to make sure you may after you move, but they disappear during the move when you need them most. I scheduled a (1) packing day - team led by Darion claimed they had to leave within 6 hours (not true) and left most of my house unpacked, including items I said needing packing (2) moving day, the team led by Jordan had to do most of the packing, and then the loading, but their truck was too small because Darion didn't accurately tell them what they needed. By the way, the entire time this day and the next day (move out) I was calling and texting David but no answer, and he never returned my calls. Later I was told he was on vacation. By the end, they were loading my stuff in one of the mover's personal minivans and its door broke. Some of my stuff was left over, so another truck came the next day (day before closing) to pick up more of my stuff - "no charge to me" - how generous considering it was their mistake to begin with. They had the packing day to clearly understand how much stuff I had to move, but it was never conveyed - they said because I had a basketball hoop I didn't tell them about (I did, on packing day), it was my fault. After these mistakes, Carlos said they'd "take care of me" on my move-in (a week later). I find out from the employees that if you take a picture with them, and leave a good review, the crew gets paid more (points towards a bonus) - that explains all the good reviews! Move-in time comes, I learned my lesson, kept calling and texting David but no answer -- I found out later he's on another vacation. In his place, I'm assigned to Austen, who tells me after reminding him what Carlos said, that I am now getting a discount on my hourly rate. That's a lie - the discount was in the original estimate. I told Austen about that, caught them on that lie and they had nothing to say for it. At move-in, they sent too few people, I paid for unpacking and they said I never told them (oh wait, it is in the original estimate from weeks before!), and so the crew doesn't have time to unpack. They are so rushed they broke a lot of my stuff. Here are pictures. They don't even know how to put some of the stuff (beds, tables) back together again, so Carlos from the central office has to come out to do it himself after Googling it for instructions/pictures. But so generous, "no charge to me" for them putting my stuff back together they took apart that I paid them for. After putting it back together, Carlos tells me he won't charge me for the wardrobe boxes they left at my house if I have them emptied when he comes to pick them up. Well guess what, I empty them, and I call them to pick them up and they said Carlos never told me that, but they wont charge me. But my trash company WM says the boxes are too big and wont pick them up, so now I have to pay to have them disposed. Worst moving company experience I have ever had. Beware if you use them. Here's pictures of the stuff they broke:

Fair price on an multistate move. Workers were on time and courteous. All my belongings were carefully handled. I would highly recommend.

I haven't written a Yelp review in over a decade. I am coming out of review retirement specifically…read moreto recommend Breda Moving after having them take care of our out-of-state move. Look, we all know moving sucks. It's the worst. I'd rather get a lobotomy. HOWEVER, Breda will make this terrible activity into something that is--dare I say?--enjoyable??? I first got in touch with Joe Breda months back, and he personally drove out to our three bedroom apartment to do a walkthrough and put together an estimate. One thing I truly appreciate about how they do things is that they estimate on the high-end of costs to mitigate any unfortunate surprises when the delivery happens. While their estimate was considerably higher than other places we looked, we ultimately went with them because of Joe's excellent, responsive communication and the obvious pride he takes in his work (also helps that we originally got a recommendation from a friend who had nothing but AMAZING THINGS to say about their cross-country move). I am so, so, so glad we did. Not only was Joe flexible with us, answering all of our questions leading up to the move, he was also able to make some adjustments ahead of our move, including accommodating a move date that was two weeks earlier than our original scheduled date. We had Breda's team pack our apartment, and their crew arrived right on time (in fact, about 10 minutes early), and the packing took about six hours. Not only was the crew efficient and OBSCENELY CAREFUL with all of our belongings (seriously, we never would have been that careful if we had done the packing ourselves), but they were also all extremely nice. My wife and I had a blast talking with them throughout the day, and it really put us at ease getting to know the folks who were handling our stuff. The next day was move day. Again, the team arrived slightly ahead of schedule, got straight to work, and in a few hours had us all packed up. They were super efficient and remarkably careful getting all of our belongings safely out of the apartment and onto the truck. We even have a couch that baaaaarely fit into our back room, and the team took the utmost care getting it out through a narrow hallway without scuffing or damaging any of the walls. Honestly, we had resigned ourselves to thinking that that item would be the thing that dinged us a bit on our security deposit. SPOILER ALERT: we got our full security deposit back because the Breda crew is just that friggin good. We were scheduled for delivery to our new house the next day. Joe handled the delivery personally with his team (he even brought his two kids along, who were awesome--they're not kidding when they say they're a family-run company). He called us when they were about an hour and a half away, and basically showed up right when they estimated. Even though it was a completely different crew than who packed up our stuff, they were all fast, friendly, and very, very careful with our belongings. Not to mention, the final cost came in well under their initial estimate. If you're reading this far, wow! I hope it's obvious just how happy I am with these folks. It's been over a week since the move was completed and I'm still thinking about what a great experience Breda provided. From first touch to final delivery, they took great care of us, and I would highly, highly recommend their services to anyone. I pray to whatever deity is out there that we don't have to move again for a long, long time, but if we do... I'm calling Breda.

I see Breda last July to move. They were incredible! They came and gave me an estimate and then on…read moremoving day 3 movers came with a supervisor just to confirm everything. They packed up items and took great care with our furniture. Then they unpacked the truck and they put everything wherever you wanted and also helped put clothes away in the closets! Nothing was damaged great company
