TL;DR - Movers held our items on the truck until payment was made prior to unloading. Movers had no…read moreexperience moving items (uncovered mattress, face down on the sidewalk with the mover on top of it) They did not understand how to load a truck (small items were loaded first and not stacked). Claimed truck was 'full' despite being half full. Movers were instructed not to unload our items at our destination, UNTIL payment was made (which how can that be if time to unload was not accounted for?). Damaged walls and items. Had to call 2 friends to help unload the truck. Hands down the worst company I have ever worked with.We used them for a move on April 2024 to move our items from our townhome to a house that was 0.3miles away. The move took 6 hours longer than expected, despite having already broken items down and made them easily accessible. The moving crew had 0 equipment and were extremely unskilled in moving the most basic items, including a mattress. They called a week before the move to get an estimated list of items that I would need moved, during which on the phone call that I explained I was currently travelling and can only list of what large items come to mind and approximately 25-30 boxes for the miscellaneous items. There was no follow up email sent to gather a formal list of all the items needing moved. On moving day, movers were 2 hours late and 2/3 workers showed up in an unbranded moving truck that did not have a ramp. I walked the movers through our townhome and showed them everything that needed to be moved. However, it became very apparent that the movers had no experience in how to move out a house. They were unnecessarily wrapping things that didn't need to be wrapped, and did not know how to move a mattress as it took around 30 minutes to get it down 2 normal flights of stairs. It wasn't until hour 2 of 6 of moving out that the third mover showed up. They spent a total of 6 hours trying to move our well packaged and organized items out of the townhome. I spoke with Michael Dunne who asked me what is going on and why is it taking so long to move out. I explained that the movers were disorganized and lost with this move out process, and that the truck did not have a ramp. One of the movers came back to me and said that they couldn't take half of the items I showed them because it was 'not on the list' - the estimate list that I read out over the phone while travelling. We were 5 hours into this move out process that should've taken no more than 1.5-2 hours with any other company. They also claimed the truck was 'full' even though nothing was stacked. I also had to help them move some of the bigger items into the truck myself. 6 hours into the move, Michael Dunne called one of the workers and said they had to move onto the destination right up the street and start unloading. Extremely frustrated at this point, I agreed to move on and we'll come back for the other items ourselves - Michael Dunne got me to schedule another pickup in a few days, during which a $100 deposit was made. When we arrived at the unloading destination, the movers were instructed not to open the cargo door until a full payment of $2081 was made, PRIOR to unloading the items. This was around 2x what was quoted as they were charging for 'extra time' due to their inability to support a proper move-out. How do you know what to charge hourly if you haven't done the unloading process yet? They parked on a very busy street and not our driveway, despite me requesting the drivers to park in the driveway or even our front lawn. They refused, stating "we are not a traffic company, we are a moving company. F**k the traffic". Multiple items damaged, walls damaged, it took until 9:30pm (9.5 total hours) to have 75% of our items moved out of our townhome that we can still see out of the window from our new house. It took multiple emails and phone calls to cancel the follow up move and receive my $100 deposit back. I never received the signed contract at the time payment was made, and emails and phone calls have not been answered.

I told them everything could just go into the living room, but they went above and beyond by placing items in the correct rooms, which made unpacking so much easier.

It also offers climate-controlled and non-climate storage and long-term parking. I have used Gardner Moving a couple of times--first for a small move from one apartment to another apartment in the same building and then for a medium-sized move from the downtown city to the North Hills. I appreciated that Gardner Moving had convenient dates available for me, that they gave me an estimate within one day, that the employees spoke courteously with me, that the final price was below the estimate and was reasonable, and that none of my belongings were damaged. They were significantly easier to work with than a different moving company that I had previously used.

From beginning to end, I was impressed with their quality of service. We were only scheduling a few days out and within a day or two, they had someone at my house to give me a detailed estimate on moving our belongings. While they weren't the cheapest quote we got, they were the most responsive and thorough. The move itself was fabulous. They showed up with a crew and efficiently moved all of our belongings down multiple flights of stairs and into our new house across town. Though we had lots of fragile or vintage items, everything arrived in perfect condition. And they moved so quickly that our costs came in lower than the estimate. Overall, I would highly recommend Gardner to anybody and will use them if I ever move again.

However, the movers were an hour late and showed up with an extra person than I was not originally quoted. Which is fine, if it doesn't change my quote, but what I was charged ended up being expodentially higher than what I anticipated based on the quote. Especially since I moved a majority of my items before they arrived. I had most of the items already ready and took apart and put together my bed itself. I even assisted helping move what I had left by loading the smaller items in my car. I moved most of the items before they even arrived so they had really only had the heavy/bigger items that I couldn't take myself. There were also 30 minutes I couldn't even find the movers, even after calling them. I had moved 6 minutes down the road but it took them over 30 minutes to arrive. I had driven back, double checked they got everything, locked everything up, came back to the new place, and still waited another 15 minutes. So they were off somewhere unknown to me. This also lowered my trust in their service. When I asked for an itemized receipt so I could double check how I was being charged, I never heard from them again. If you do decide to use this company, you should know that the quality is excellent because they take care in how your items are moved, their professionalism and communication is great but you may hear them complaining if items are heavy. I think the funniest comment I heard from them was "Everything is heavy Up in this Crib". I would recommend ensuring someone is there the entire time to ensure you track when they leave and when they arrive at the new location and have them itemize the receipt before sending you the bill. A vague receipt won't do to make sure you aren't overcharged.

With outside costs the full move came out to around 500$, and a little bit of my time to pack. I spent a good bit of time packing my dishes and other fragile items well. I also left a couple items behind (TV without a box + a family heirloom painting) to move by myself just so I knew there was no chance they could be damaged. Guys showed up on time, were careful with my belongings, and very efficient. No breaks to dishes or damage to furniture. They even helped me maneuver a 17ft uhaul through some tight alleys and loading docks, which was greatly appreciated. Only thing I wish was different was if they could prorate the labor costs. We got everything moved and unloaded into the new unit in the time window I scheduled, which was exactly what I hired them for because I could not do that myself. But I could have used 15-30 more minutes to help arrange furniture and whatnot. I couldn't bring myself to pay for a full hour for something that wouldn't take an hour with the guys helping, and which I could do myself with a little more effort. I definitely would've paid for a 15-30 extra minutes it took if they let me but wasn't gonna pay for the full hour. I would fully recommend, the guys showed up on time, did the job I hired them for, and did it without breaking my stuff at a better rate than any of the other movers I was looking at.
