Motivated Movers helped me move from Limestone County to Lauderdale County. I found their pricing more than reasonable and their movers were amazing. Everything was treated very well and arrived at our new home with no damage. I can't say enough how good my experience was with this moving company. Very professional and no surprise price increases. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a moving company! read more

We had a 26' Uhaul to unload and our 50+ year old backs just weren't up to it. We needed some muscle. I looked at Yelp reviews and decided on Motivated Movers because of their great reviews. Trust me, these reviews were right on - these guys were great. I called for a quote. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the girl I talked to but she was friendly and knowledgeable. She listened to my needs, asked a few questions and gave me an immediate quote. The quote was a little higher than I expected, but three days before I needed the help, I wasn't going to argue. The only complaint I do have with the quote was the $85 travel fee. It was under 5 miles. Right now Google maps has the travel time at 11 minutes. Even being generous and giving them 20 minutes each way, we're talking over $2 a minute. Of course they could be charging by mileage which makes the charge over $8 a mile. I should have offered to go pick the guys up - heck, we could even have stopped for breakfast and I'd be ahead $50. We had already unloaded all of the small and loose items so the truck was only about half full. Although there wasn't any furniture, there was a small safe and a number of very heavy crates still onboard. The two guys barely broke a sweat. They unloaded quickly and didn't make a mess. We had a significant amount of rain the previous day and water was starting to get tracked in the house. The guys actually stopped to cover the floor before they proceeded to unload. There is a two hour minimum and our guys were done in about an hour and 15 minutes. (It took us over three hours to load.) They asked several times if there was anything else they could do. (I thought of sending them grocery shopping but I knew my husband would have just rolled his eyes at me!). Hopefully we don't have to move anytime soon but if we do we will definitely use these motivated Motivated Movers again! read more

I am blown away at the kindness, and professionalism of all the staff from Motivated Movers. We were in a car accident right before our planned move, so we were not in the best shape to help. We were on limited funds to complete a move from a 1st floor level to a 2nd floor level, so the stairs for us were a nightmare. These guys stayed with us until the end, got everything done We asked for help with and made sure we came in just under budget. They were extra careful with our possessions as though they belonged to them, they were friendly and great conversationalist and that made the day go by so much better. From Ben, in the beginning to all the help that showed up to make it happen, they are top notch pros! Buzz...to infinity and beyond 5 stars, highly recommended! I will use them again! But, I'll give them time to rest! read more

They do a great job. There were no issues or problems. They were on time and finished early.

THIRD UPDATE: 10 November 2023 As we were preparing to set up my roll-top desk......low and behold ZERO hardware for it. When they were at the house I specifically asked several times where the hardware box was. Each time I was told they were putting everything into the front of the truck. Sadly I assumed, my bad, they were being put in the hardware box....I was wrong. I've not found a single piece of hardware except for the 10-12 bolts I took myself and locked in a safe. To top all of this off I called the "corporate" office yesterday to speak to one of the owners, Will. I was told he was in a "compliance meeting" but we would call me back when it was over. It has now been almost 30 hours and no call back. I called the office again only to be told Will has left for a weekend trip to the beach. This nightmare continues! UPDATED: 10 November 2023 I am trying to figure out how to give ZERO or NEGATIVE STARS!!!!!! When Motivated Movers delivered my furniture / household goods they failed to do several things. Rather than go through the aggravation of having someone come out I just did them or planned to do them myself. My three piece glider set, that is heavy and awkward they sat in the driveway and left it. Before anyone mentions the gate, the gate was unlocked and they had taken a few other items back there. Which brings me to the next item. I couldn't understand why they left the door off my outdoor table. Oh well I thought I'll ask my son-in-law to put it on. Today we did that except no we didn't because I now know why they didn't properly put it together.......they broke off one of the pins that the door swings on!!!!! If the propane tank is placed in the carrier as designed the door swings loose. The picture gives a general idea but doesn't fully show the damage. This is the biggest nightmare!! UPDATE: 25 October 2023 This nightmare just keeps happening! As I've delved into the boxes I have discovered that at least 50% of the boxes are not marked to even identify the room!!!!!! My review has changed. The more I thought about it I just couldn't justify two stars. I am a military spouse as well as a retired civil servant spouse. I have moved many times so I know what to expect. I have used Motivated Movers several times since November 2019 and always had excellent service. However that is not the case with this move. The crew was very nice but much slower than previous crews. They were also much less efficient . They completely failed to pack my pantry, part of a cabinet and two drawers. On the second go round they got the pantry and still missed cabinet and drawers. They missed part of a wall in the garage. My daughter and I had to finish. Of my five large screen TVs they wrapped one of them but not the others. I have no idea where all of the remotes, wires, nuts and bolts are. The only one I'm sure of is the master bedroom suite. The "estimate" I was provided in actuality more than tripled. I did add the TVs and my garage but by no means should that have caused the increase. Especially since the job was not 100% complete. I just realized in addition to the issues stated above they debited my account an additional ~$350 that I did not authorize! We also just discovered that some cushions to my porch set were never packed. I'm sad to say this move was a nightmare! In the past I have highly recommended Motivated Movers but I can no longer do that. read more

I spoke with the office and explained my situation. They gave me a quote and sent the estimate over immediately. Unlike the other company I spoke with prior to calling Motivated Movers, the estimates as exactly as quoted over the phone. On the day of the move the guys showed up on time. Very polite and courteous. The moved everything efficiently and in a timely manner. When we got to drop off location, they were like a well oiled machine- everything off and stacked in my storage building quickly. They were careful and considerate of my belongings and I would absolutely use again. I've already referred 2 people because of the accuracy of my quote and how well everything worked out. read more

I called to have the contents of a 2 br/2bth 1100sq ft apartment moved from on building to another IN THE SAME COMPLEX. I listed the contents online and was quoted 6 hours of work totaling @ $1480. Upon arrival, I walked the 3 man crew through the apartment and no comments were made indicating a misquote/change in price. After 9 HOURS to move this 1100sq ft apartment, I was presented with a bill totaling $2157...$700 OVER THE QUOTE. I asked to speak with a manager and was given a phone. The individual on the phone identified as the manager and was extremely rude, unprofessional and unwilling to offer any assistance. When I asked to speak with their boss, the response was "I am the boss!" When I asked for corporate contact information, their response was "I'm not giving you that, you can find out online". I ended the conversation when I was told that "you're starting to get under my skin" as I realized this conversation was pointless. I will say this, I posted a corporate requested review of the situation and received an immediate phone call from the owner. This individual was extremely professional and courteous. They were apologetic and accepted my feedback. I truly appreciate their willingness to work out some resolution and entertain suggestions. Be cautious of any online quote as it leaves you open to any overages they want to lay on you,, regardless of whose fault it may be. read more

Awesome group of workers that seemed to enjoy working together as a team. They were prompt, courteous, and very careful with our items. Ben and KJ were great and so helpful with delivery to our destination. Would absolutely book them again. read more

Our move from one house to another went great. The guys (Crishaun, Josh & Cameron) did a great job. They were very friendly, polite and handled our move with the greatest of care. They all went above and beyond to make our move go smoothly. Will not hesitate to recommend Motivated Movers. Please forgive us if we did not get Crishaun's name spelled right! read more

My experience with Motivated Movers out of Madison, AL was great!! This is the 2nd time I have used them and I was not disappointed. Ethan was awesome helping me book my move and quoting a reasonable price and providing great customer service. He made sure I received the contract and sent my receipt for the deposit right away. I also received periodic text reminders about the move. Pete and Maruius, my moving team, were the best, they were there on time, professional, courteous, and quick. They got right to it, loaded up my stuff, drove an hour to the new place, and unloaded. They were careful with all my belongings and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I paid exactly what I was quoted. If ever I need to move again, Motivated Movers will be my go to!! Thank you so much!! read more

they took for ever for a small one bedroom with several light weight boxes. having moved several times in the past ten years...I knew what it would take. the price was double my quot they were trained however not experience. would not recommend them for local small jobs. read more

We hired to Motivated Movers to move my sons to a new (and better) apartment. Both apartments were on the 2nd floor and Logan, Derrick and Andrew really moved to get the everything in place, help with the washer and dryer and were so very helpful when we decided that the couch really should be on the other wall. Nothing was damaged and they beat the estimate of 5 hours by 75 minutes. I highly recommend Motivated Movers and maybe you will be lucky enough to get Logan, Derrick and Andrew as your crew. read more

I used them to move the large and heavy items I own across Madison county, the estimated move time was 5 hours, they completed it in 3.25 hours with no damage to my items. There price was reasonable and there were no unexpected or hidden charges. The three men that did the move were friendly and professional. read more

I am very happy with the move. From a fourth floor apartment to a new house on the other side of town they took extreme care with everything they handled. I would definitely use them again. read more

After searching options in Huntsville for movers and reading through numerous reviews we chose to go with Motivated Movers. The name truly reflects their service. Shaun, Seth, and Kevin were exceptional, not only in their task of moving us onto a third floor with special care of our items, but in their attitudes, personalities and kindness. We appreciate everything they did and the good people they are. We will definitely use Motivated Movers again in the future! read more

Smoothest moving experience I've had in the many times I've moved. Very nice guys who also were punctual, careful, speedy and considerate. No complaints from them on all the big furniture we had to take to a second floor smaller apartment. Great service! Will definitely use again. read more

Very expensive is my initial reaction. Two guys for three (ish?) hours for a total of almost $900. They were only a total of about 15 pieces of furniture and about 40 boxes - all prepped for the move. They didn't have to pack anything. They used their plastic wrapping on about three pieces of furniture, about 4 blankets, nothing else. No furniture needed to be disassembled or reassembled, no awkward items either. They were slow and took them a while to park their vehicle at the drop off location (flat property). Only one piece of furniture - a dresser - went upstairs everything else was downstairs. I preplanned everything in advance so I knew where every piece of furniture was going in order to make it as easy as possible on everyone and to reduce the time spent. They were super nice guys and I tipped him before they left. About a week later, I realized that the top of my washing machine was badly scratched, pretty much end to end. They didn't use a blanket before they strapped it down, one can easily see. It also looks as though they placed their tools on top of it. Now I cannot sell / advertise my washer as being in excellent or like-new condition. I just had just had it serviced in preparation for the sale. I was really upset. As for the dryer, they stuffed the flex hose for the vent INSIDE the dryer! One could clearly see the hose was dirty and full of lint!! They didn't even ask me! There was lint and other debris all over the floor when I returned to the place I was moving from. I didn't report any of this because I didn't know until about a week later. The appliances were in the garage in prep for the sale (I had purchased two new appliances). It was a week later when I finally had time to photograph the washer and dryer. That's when I saw the scratches and the cent hose. I spent about 45 minutes locating a vacuum cleaner hose and an extension cord to clean out the dryer in order to prep it for sale. Then I had to clean out the vacuum cleaner. I definitely would not recommend this company based on my experience, and would absolutely shop around in advance. I'm still in disbelief regarding the cost of the move from a partially furnished rental to a nearby home - both in Owens Cross Roads, especially when all items were so carefully packed and the placement of furniture, so carefully planned. Those were comments/compliments from the movers! In conclusion, lessons learned! :( read more

Needed a safe moved and found this company on google. Three of the nicest guys show up to move it. They moved it quickly and efficiently. Was very well priced also. Would totally recommend this company for moving. read more

These guys moved my son to a new apartment this morning. Excellent job, one bedroom, $450 total. First floor to first floor. Mom and dad aren't up to carrying sofas and dressers and mattresses anymore. We did prep work (disassembled the queen bed) and it made it all quick and easy. Week days are cheaper. Would absolutely recommend 5/5. My old back says thank you. They somehow got the sofa out the front door without taking the legs off. That mystified me. read more

The team of movers was great! They were polite, prompt, & efficient. The movers showed up when they said and went straight to work and didn't stop until the truck was full. And the same with unloading. They spoke politely with no unacceptable language. read more

I heard all the horror stories about moving companies in the area. However, let me tell you about Motivated Movers. Marc and Malik worked their asses off. Nothing broken, no scratches/dents on the walls or furniture. Worth the cost, by the way was less than I was quoted. I would do it all over again with MM. Don't hesitate, make the call. read more

I highly recommend Motivated Movers for your next move. The staff was helpful and did a great job on follow up after our move to ensure that we had a great experience. The crew was fantastic! They were hard working, diligent, and friendly. We would hire them again. read more

Motivated movers made our move simple and easy. I had them move the most valuable and heaviest items. DJ and his crew had a plan and executed it with no problems. The safe I had them move was a worry because it's so big and heavy. The crew we had that day did not blink an eye. They were polite and respectful and treated our belongings like they were their own. I would not use anyone else in the future. Thank u Motivated Movers! read more

We used Motivated Movers for our recent residential move across town. The guys were on time, had great attitudes, took excellent care of our belongings, and were very professional! read more

Yes you did verbally agree to pay for the damages after I gave a 20 minute verbal feedback on the move. Yes you did deny the invoice you requested. I did hang up, because I do not like being lied to. Yes Benjamin did try to add additional costs when the movers arrived at the destination. My problem is not with the two young men that actually did the work, my issue is with Motivated Movers management and their business practices. read more

I was extremely nervous about using any moving company after the horrible experience I had with one of those moving companies that emphasizes their men. I'm happy to say that Motivated Movers were professional, efficient, and did not damage a single piece of my furniture. I'll never use another company. Thanks guys! read more

TL;DR: if you have anything valuable, pack it yourself. They're fast, but their work is sub par at best. After 10 moves in 3 countries, this is one of the worst moving companIt's I've had the "pleasure" of working with. They were very fast (sub 4 hour times each for pack/load/unload), and stayed within their quote; however that's where pros end And the cons begin. Their packing job was atrocious. As I unpack each box I continue to find new horrors. Turn tables, packed on top of VR headsets (With a single sheet of paper inbetween). 2k in shoes dumped (with no packing/protection) into the bottom of a wardrobe box. Subwoofers and speakers loose in another wardrobe box, bouncing around with my suits. 50% of my clothes in the wardrobe boxes (six total) weren't even hanging on the metal rails. My jackets/coats were in a wardrobe box that didn't even HAVE a metal rail? Why did I pay for wardrobe boxes? My furniture is covered in little nicks and chips that LOOK like regular wear and tear (Especially on top surfaces)...except they're all brand new. They did a good job packing the kitchen (ie pots/pans/glassware), but every other room in the house was haphazardly thrown into to big of boxes. Every foam pillow on my house has been folded and scrunched and won't return to their original shapes... how do you mess up packing pillows? Last but not least, they neglected to label boxes, so outside of the kitchen, everything was in the wrong rooms, doubling my unpack time. I regret every cent I tipped them. If you decide to go with motivated movers, watch them like a hawk. They WILL cut corners, and it's going to lead to fits of rage while you unpack. If you "trey" as the head mover, close the door and ask for someone else. read more

Finish time using this service and I would use them again in a heart beat!! Very professional, friendly and took pride in moving my furniture like it was their own! Moved all my boxes and heavy furniture from the 3rd floor of my apartment to my new house with zero complaints. I can't stress how incredible my movers were!!! Will be using them again!! read more

The Motivated Mover's crew were a step above from other moving companies I have used in recent years. They looked and acted professionally. Great attitudes and were pleasant to deal with. They unpacked our POD's in a timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone needing moving services. The cost was very reasonable also. I wish we had this quality of movers and service on the packing portion of our move. read more

This is the second (and third) time we used MM - they moved us from apartment to storage, then later from storage to new home. The movers, Joshua and Lance, were quick, efficient, careful and made the moves stress free. (We actually requested them again!). We definitely recommend MM! read more

Low review for unprofessional attitude and manner on how my damage claims were handled by management. Damage sometimes happens, but I did have more damage than I have ever had before in a move. Moving guys were polite, just maybe not careful. read more

The instructions were simple. Pack and move a 2 bedroom apartment (1250 sq ft) from one side of the apartment complex to another and set up EXACTLY the same way in the new apartment with same floor plan. 10.5 hours and $1,750.00 later I was left with furniture in the wrong rooms, boxes not labeled and in the wrong rooms, beds not set up, boxes with broken bottles hidden in back of the closet and the dryer hose has still not been found. Didn't bring enough supplies, and actually watched them carry a sideboard into the new apartment UPSIDE DOWN. Shoddy work for top.prices. Called and texted the Mgr on Monday to go over move and didn't hear from him until Wednesday halfway through move. Tried to contact him again after the move and tell him my experience and haven't heard from him. Last time I used the company they were an hour late showing up to pick up furniture causing me to be late for business meeting. Gave them another chance after being disappointed previously. Big mistake. Avoid at all costs. . read more

Our move was a five and a half hour drive south, so it was a very complex move for us. Motivated Movers made our move so very easy from talking to, I believe Tabitha, on the phone, all the time, to the movers who showed up on time, ready to go, with extra workers and just an awesome outlook and attitude. Motivated movers made our move so very easy for us they were there at our new house with our stuff on time and ready to go, everything went very smooth! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is moving, any distance! read more

Hired Motivated Movers to move to another apt. within the same complex. They were quick to respond to my initial inquiry and their rep very professional; their prices were also very reasonable. The day of the move, the two movers, Nick and Preston, arrived promptly at the beginning of the move window. Nick and Preston were both excellent, very professional, polite and just congenial. They made the move easy and were pleasant throughout; they were also very quick, especially considering the move involved walking up two stories. Because I had such a great experience with Nick, Preston and the rep, I would definitely use this company again. read more

Excellent moving experience!! Nick and Jaquez moved my household items from a storage unit, to a truck, and to my residence in the same time it had taken the previous movers to move the items from the moving truck into the storage unit. Nick and Jaquez moved smart and did not damage any of the items. I was very pleased with this mover and would use them again. read more

Very impressive! It was raining but they showed up on time. Absolutely the friendliest movers I've worked with and I was in the Air Force for 17 years, many moves. They moved fast, wrapped everything in blankets, secured items thoroughly. The best attribute about the crew lead by Nick was that they smiled and talked, just very nice guys! Once we made it to our destination it started snowing but they pressed on with not one single complaint. They unload very quickly and placed items where I wanted them. No damages! I'd hire them again and recommend Motivated Movers any day! Jason Madison Alabama read more

5 movers that were sent to me goofed off the entire time... on top of that they broke a 65in tv. When asked for a refund, the manager gives me less than half of what a new tv is.. So on top of paying 1200 for the movers, I have to spend more on a brand new tv. If Motivated Movers is your last resort, I recommend just moving yourself. read more
