We have used this moving company twice now to move an elderly family member. They were very professional, efficient, and personable. They took care with her things as they packed and unpacked. We would use them for every move. Pricing was very fair and competitive to other companies, the final charge was actually less than the quote. Great communication. We knew when they were on their way and when they arrived. Very grateful we found Moving Ahead Services!!! read more

This company lies to its customers, My refrigerator did not work after the move, I watched them disassemble it completely. When I reported the issue, they denied everything. repair bill and photos speak for them self's. read more

They were prompt and very very very fast. The foreman was professional and accommodating. The crew was very strong and smoothly got everything in and out with minimal bumps. Customer interaction varied from non existent to friendly to snarky. read more

Unprofessional and disrespectful. The driver, Brandon, was rude from the start, left my toilet unflushed, then yelled at me when I asked politely that it be flushed. He refused to load several large items--including my 65" TV--and I had to hire another company the same day to finish the job. I would not recommend Moving Ahead Services, especially to women seeking a safe and respectful move. read more

Another fabulous move with Moving Ahead Services - James A, Roberto and Brian showed up on time (actually a few minutes early), and got to work right away. They took extra care moving all of my items and even helped me dissemble my furniture and reassemble it at my new home. They were professional and so helpful - this is my 3rd time using Moving Ahead and I can't say enough great things about this company. Highly recommend! read more

Had a small job, sofa and loveseat moved from the first floor to the basement, and a sofa and chair moved from the basement to the first floor. The movers were quick and friendly! got the job done in under 30 minites. Satisfied with the service, wish they had pricing for small jobs instead of the minimum charge for an hour. Otherwise, dependable, quick seevice read more

One of the worst experiences ever. Chaotic, tacked on overcharges and truly unprofessional behavior. Run away, they are just awful. read more

Very professional, they made a very stressful last minute move incredibly easy, from communication from the staff, to the men doing the work, all are very good at their jobs. Expert Truck drivers as well, Im a CDL holder and I was impressed with their ability to navigate the truck in the driveway, even with a car that couldn't be moved parked there without touching the grass. Impressive read more

Jake and James and their team work very fast and efficiently. They listened to what we asked and made the move very easy. The had to disassemble our treadmill in order to get it through some interior doors and the assembled it where we asked them to and it works perfectly. There prices were very reasonable and all the costs were outlined clearly in advance. I highly recommend Moving Ahead Services for any of your moving needs. read more

We had 5 gentlemen move us today. They were extremely professional and attentive to our wishes. They took the extra time to tweak our furniture to our preference. I was so happy that they used floor protectors at both houses. They cleaned up as the others walked through the house to make sure we're happy. It was a long day and they were just as friendly at the end of the day as they were in the morning. The price was extremely reasonable. I wished I use them for my mother's move. read more

We had them move us from Wickliffe to Concord, they were very professional. Their biggest obstacle was moving our elliptical out of our tiny basement, they tried their best to move it without taking it apart but it just wouldn't fit up our tiny stairs. They took it apart and put it back together again at the new place and you'd never know it was disassembled. They were clean, wrapped everything at the old place and unwrapped at the new. It's a nice local company that was reasonably priced. We appreciate you doing the heavy lifting. read more

We had our second (and final) move today. A crew of five crew members showed up and immediately started the packing and moving process. Ron was packing with great speed and care. The rest of the crew also packed and all five guys got the trucks loaded. They really were responsible and respectful, checking with us from time to time to ensure that we were happy with the process. I would recommend Moving Ahead Services for all your moving needs. read more

I sued them and won! Check their real record on BBB website! These people tried to cover-up damages they created and I had to sue them to get them to do the right thing, PAY FOR THE DAMAGES! read more

We used Move Aheads Services in July of 2023 to move us from Cleveland, OH, to CT. They stored our items for a month in between. The people were friendly, customer service started off good enough. Unfortunately the move itself was below average at best. They misplaced a bunch of different, high value items (cushions for our couch, our TV, our peloton screen). Took them weeks to find (it was apparently left in the wrong container), and ultimately a box of kitchen stuff was never found. There was also a LOT of damage. Our crib was broken, a dresser broken, peloton wires were frayed, our smoker was damaged, our bedframe was missing a key metal support beam. They were plenty apologetic but we never got damages back or any form of credit for the issues. Really wanted to like them given their great reviews, affordability, and how friendly the people were but we kept finding damaged items for months. Just a headache we could've done without. read more

I had the worst experience - they damaged/broke so much of my stuff and were super rude and unresponsive. I wish I had known they had an F rating with the better business bureau!! If I could give zero stars I would! read more

Customer service on the phone was great. I particularly found the emails and text reminders to be helpful. The movers arrived on time and were very professional. They wrapped up most of the furniture and used covers to protect everything. I was very pleased after the move. read more

So let me tell you my experience. The movers were very friendly. We fed them, gave them pretty hefty tips. A lot of our stuff was broken, stacked poorly. We are missing items. I was dodged by their manager Scott, whom after a week finally just reached out to the general manager who was little to no help. We had our stuff moved into storage and by the time we found a house to buy, we were out of our claim window. How are we supposed to see what's broken when it's packed so tight? We paid for extra coverage which apparently doesn't matter. If you want your stuff broken, gone missing with a company that'll deny every and all responsibility for the stuff they broke and lost, this is your company. They had a 30 foot storage unit to work with and packed everything poorly and so tightly we couldn't see if anything was damaged. So you purchase coverage and then can't even use it. Impossible to get ahold of anyone too, I email the general manager asking if he could call me so we could discuss all this, and just sends me a text which is posted. Super professional. They also hid stuff they broke. read more

Lisa was so helpful from start to finish. She went over and beyond. We are very happy with how the service was performed for us.

After seven months passed -- March through November -- and many attempts with Scott -- the broken glass top to the end table was never taken care of (they apparently measured wrong because the first attempt the glass didn't fit, so I believe the person who measured didn't know how or the company making it goofed; the next it was broken -- if my memory serves me right -- I've dealt with chemo due to cancer), it was necessary to purchase another end table. I was texted by Scott that I'd be compensated if I replace the glass myself, but I'm sick and elderly. I paid $50 to Moving Ahead for protection that they didn't honor and I'm too exasperated to reach out anymore, so I would never recommend this company. read more

Moving Ahead is everything you want in a mover. Honest, efficient, reasonably priced. The communication from the beginning is excellent. Clear, timely, and friendly. Oh, and the movers themselves are fast, careful, and professional. I plan to use them for my next move, and will recommend them to everyone else in the meantime. Well done! read more

Used them three times now, once for local move, twice for across state moves. First two times things were great, no complaints. Third time I had to file a claim because the truck driver knocked over the mailbox at our new house with his new truck. Filing a claim with this company sends you to a 3rd party claims business that conveniently never gets back to you. I called Moving Ahead multiple times telling them I never heard back from the claims company, they told me its out of their hands. It's not, if they cared they could have reimbursed me and then worked it out with their claims company that they do business with and can obviously reach. I really thought this was a good reliable company, but only if you never have to get anything reimbursed. Ironically, we paid the extra money for full coverage on our move but highly recommend you dont do that because getting the claim and money back is not guaranteed. read more

Zero stars! Overpriced. Shady. Damaged brand new Arhaus bedroom set, west elm office furniture, mattress wet and dirty, gouged our wood floors from sliding furniture. No care whatsoever! Waiting to be contacted by supposed insurer for claim, it's been weeks. You really are better off with 100 dollars and a uhaul. Avoid this company. They are quick to collect the money before you have a chance to assess damage, but good luck getting compensated for damages. They came highly recommended by a friend who used them in 2020. Obvious decline. read more

After another company canceled on us, Moving Ahead Services was recommended by our realtor. They were able to get us moved only 2 days after the other company canceled. They showed up promptly at 9 AM and had us moved very quickly, with care and knowledge of fitting every thing in the truck and into our new home. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends and family. read more

Arrived on time. Patiently wrapped all the furniture. Moved with great care and professionalism. Price was very good. I would recommend this company to all my friends. read more

worked with Moving Ahead Services for a long distance move from Charlotte, NC to Georgia. I would recommend them to anyone doing long-distance moves. I received consistent and communication from the company throughout the process, with timely and relevant emails and text messages. On the day of the move, the team arrived promptly, were professional, and got the job done in a timely manner. HOWEVER, upon the delivery of my contents to my new address in Georgia, there was one item that was damaged. The fact that it was damaged wasn't really an the MAIN issue for me. I didn't like the fact that the man in charge did not mention it to me! I had to ASK and call it out because one of the guys unloading had advised me. THUS, the reason for the 3 out of 5. Overall, I was pleased with the services provided by the loaders and unloaders. read more

These guys were great! Took great care of our oversized glass cases. Highly recommend Tyonn, William, Jeremy and the Moving Ahead Services crew. Easy to work with! read more

Definitely 0 star. Here is the fact: Moved from 1 bedroom apartment to 1 bedroom apartment, 1 mile away, and both buildings have a freight elevator. I packed everything except big furniture such as a sofa and hired three moving crews, which took 4 hours, and I paid $1187.82. My friends and family including myself were very SHOCKED that I paid that much to move into a new place that was "1 MILE AWAY" from my previous one. I decided to hire movers since I have 82'' sofa. I will tell you ALL I had for this moving: 5 small boxes, 10 Medium boxes, 2 Large boxes, 4 Extra large boxes, 4 carriers, 3 stools, 2 office chairs, 9 plastic boxes, 1 small desk (light), 3 floor stands (light), 1 rug, 1 tv box, 1 tv table, 1 night stand, 2 mirrors, 1 mattress, 1 bed frame (disassembled), 1 headboard, and sofa. Pros: the guys arrived on time. No hidden fees. Cons: 1. Unprofessional moving crews: when you arrived at the place, one person usually talks to you about the paperwork, and the others start to move boxes using a dolly. But all of my movers just came to my place with bare hands and check my stuff first, which already wastes about 15 minutes doing nothing. Surprisingly, three moving crews only brought 1 dolly, which I do not understand. I brought them 2 extra dollies which belong to my previous apartment. The movers used AMAZING moving methods: they first move boxes from the unit to the front door of my unit. They then moved boxes from the door to the front of the freight elevator, move them into the elevator, unload them from the elevator, and finally brought them into the truck. They put them down and up at least THREE times. I really packed everything, disassembly my bed frame, and moved big sofa cushions in advance, hoping to save some time. It turned out it took 2 hours to move everything from my original place to the truck. They said that it won't take this long when unloading but it was. Since they spent too much time in my original place, they missed the scheduled time to use the freight elevator in my new place which made the process longer. 2. Failure of true additional time: They said 2 hours is minimum (Monday - Thursday) and additional time is prorated into 15-minute increments. But you are not the one who tells the office the total time. All process was messed up, unprofessional, and very much shocking. Maybe I was unlucky to have this experience, but it is really questionable whether the company trains their moving crews properly. I am very frustrated, upset, and regret choosing this company for my move. I spent more than I expect, and they really ruined my new start. Lastly, I attached pictures of how the movers also damaged my boxes and especially the sofa. they drag my sofa so that my fabric got polluted and the wooden frame inside the fabric got cracked. Think wise and choose the right moving company. Thank you for reading my long review. read more

For reference I moved from a one bedroom apartment on the second floor (that had a service elevator) to a three bedroom, multi-family home on the second floor. The move took a total of 6 hours. I'm not sure if that's reasonable given the size of my apartment or the amount of furniture I have, but I feel like that's quite a long time to move a one bedroom apartment. I noticed that one trip to load the truck took an unusually long time, so I went to check and I saw the movers chatting with a maintenance worker. I'm not sure how long they had been chatting or if the movers took breaks like that throughout the loading of the truck, but I was disappointed. Once the truck was loaded (a total of three hours after they arrived), I was to meet them at my new place. I was told they would stop and grab a bite to eat, but that would be deducted from my total. Once they arrived, there was some trouble getting the truck into the driveway. During the process, the driver managed to bump into the gutter on the side of the house, causing damage (which I will be contacting them about Monday morning). A neighbor was kind enough to move his car so the truck could fit, then they unloaded the truck. I didn't notice any unusually long trips, but it took them a total of three hours to unload the truck. When I received my final bill, there was no mention of a deduction of time for the food they did (or didn't) stop for. I received no confirmation that they stopped on the way or drove straight to the house. All in all, my items are moved. I wish it hadn't taken so long or that there would've been a third person to help. I'm disappointed that it cost so much and took such a long time, especially when I was only quoted for the 2 hour minimum and the movers were quoted 2-4 hours. read more

I can give this company the highest rating. the movers were polite and very careful in protecting both the piano they moved and the home and walkway. Excellent job! read more

only use this company if you have cheap furniture. they have ruined high ticket items! dropped a pottery barn sofa off the truck and tore fabric in multiple places on sofa. dropped a armoire and broke leg off going up stairway and scratched flooring. won't stand behind the extra insurance replacement costs we paid an extra 300$ for. hired help in another state unqualified to do the job. look elsewhere very upset with this company. no call backs from managers ever as promised! DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

The movers did a great job! I needed to hire someone to help me move some heavy furniture between different floors of my home. Their quote was the best - the others I got were quite a bit higher. It can be difficult to find companies to take on smaller jobs. They called to let me know they were running late (which was fine, I had planned to spend most of the day on this) but got to work immediately when they arrived. They did not waste any time and completed the work in the timeframe that was quoted to me. They were careful with my items and made sure to place everything exactly where I needed it. They were quick when taking apart some of the pieces that could not be moved in one piece and then putting them back together. I recommend Moving Ahead Services and I would definitely use them again. read more

Very respectable company. The movers are very professional and polite. They handled all my valuables with care. I would recommend this company for long distance move anytime Thank you for making my move enjoyable. read more

Their services were clearly unsatisfactory. Cons: 1. Packed many boxes with no cushioning and damaged multiple items 2. Used unusual packing practices like using our own throw blanket to tape over and cushion mirror 3. Damaged several items temporarily-stored in their warehouse 4. Exhibited lack of customer service at times (see below) Pros: 1. Good estimate process 2. Friendly staff 3. Packed kitchen items well 4. Delivered items on time and in courteous manner Most troubling was that they focused more on not exceeding projected truck space than completing our move. We were consistently clear that they were to move ALL items and we could not stay after to attend to anything left behind. When they went to leave, we were exhausted and didn't notice that they had not removed all items. And, we didn't think it was our responsibility to check their work since we were consistently clear about them moving all items. The moving team left to add items we paid them to temporarily store at their facility. Then, they would not commit to returning to pick up the remaining items at our house until they knew that they would have space in the truck! We had to delay leaving for our new out-of-state home until they finally committed to return...inexcusably bad customer service. We certainly would not contract for their services again and cannot recommend Moving Ahead Services. read more

I have never had a business be more true to the reviews! They were amazing! Everyone was so nice, polite and willing to help. They were so efficient and helpful. They even forgot a few things and when I called about it, they fixed it right away. The crew that came back to get the remaining items was just as nice as the first! Props to them for hiring so many great employees! I am referring them to everyone!!! read more
