Before you read on, simply said, this is the most professional, careful and skilled moving crew…read moreI've ever worked with. These guys are a solid recommendation. If you aren't moving, but a friend is, tell them about Myers Movers. Now to the details....
I really don't like moving. I feel exposed and vulnerable every time I pack everything that makes a house, my home, into a U-Haul and drive it around the country.
Granted, the pack is the critical part on a self-move. But the unpack can be just as damaging, navigating the doors, turns, etc. That's what I had Myers Movers do for me. I can't say enough about Joe Myers and the professional, high-quality work he did. My 5 quick reasons for using Joe Myers are:
First, Joe followed up a couple of days prior, to ensure that he had the right time and that things were still a go. That's just damn good business.
Second, I pulled the 26' U-Haul into my driveway late the night before. I had no further desire to be a truck driver and turn "the rig" around. Joe did it gladly, with great care, given that I'd "broken the seal" on the tight pack in the back by removing some things prior to his arrival.
Third, they were so damn polite, I felt like I was dealing with my 19th century British butler.
Fourth, they worked efficiently, took direction on every piece/box, worked quickly but never compromised on taking care with every piece they unloaded.
Fifth, they offered to help with everything from the sectional couch assemblage, to the bed frames, to disassembling an unwanted desk left by the previous owner. The basic mantra was this, if you need help with this move while we're here, we'll do it.
Now, a couple of things to keep in mind. Myers is not the cheapest. But do you really want cheap when you're moving the family heirlooms? Besides, you're looking at about $25-$30/hour more for two guys. That's a rounding error in most moves and well worth it. Also, they do charge a travel fee. I believe it was $20, but I didn't pay because I'd gotten a referral from another mover (again, good business sense on Joe's part). I was a little surprised given the fact that the move location is literally a mile from their office address.
* I apologize to the few of you who are suffering a questioned state of deja-vu on reading this opening. Yes, it's the same text as in my Smooth Moves review. But, I don't reckon many will actually read both reviews, so to those who are here, reading this now, my deepest gratitude. If you care to identify yourself, I'll gladly UFC a bunch of your reviews as pay back (like I didn't already).
