My review of Hometown Movers is really two-part.
First, the good: These two guys were very careful with our stuff, and we have some very old antique heirloom furniture. Nothing had a scratch! Austin and Connor both worked extremely hard and were very personable, professional, and courteous.
Now the bad:
Even after taking a quick visual inventory of all our stuff, they thought they could move us in 4-5 hours. It took 9. At 4:40pm, Austin said that they needed to have the last load packed and ready to move to the new house (it took two trips) by 5:00pm so he said that we would need to "prioritize" the last remaining stuff. The reason was that they had another move to do after ours. Not good planning on their part. So, we had to move most of the stuff from my workshop and lawn equipment shed in addition to grandchildrens' play stuff. We also had numerous large pot plants and a lot of stuff from my attic as well. Thankfully, friends came over to help and we were still barely out by the 12:00 midnight deadline.
Another negative was that we were not told about their one-hour charge for "travel time". That was an additional $200 just for them to GET HERE, so that was just money wasted for me. So, the move that we were expecting to cost us around $1,000-$1,200 tops ended up being over $2,000.
Again, everything that THEY moved was done professionally and they were pleasant to work with. It's just that for $2,000 I would have expected them to finish the job. If not for our friends and relatives rallying around us, there is no possible way we could have been out in time.
I would say that if you know EVERYTHING up front and they don't try to cram another move in afterward, they are fine. Had I known that they would impose an unspoken deadline, I would have looked elsewhere. read more
