    I'm Changing my review alot Due to Chris the director of operations.When they did arrive it's like they took another break to load up Less Then Half a Room.5* to The team I had who was a Hispanic guy and a guy named Chazz.They look like they been slaving from a previous move.My husband had to help out Chazz.My table was damaged.Student movers who moved out most of the house before Cow came charged $300 & didn't damage anything. 3 Men movers only paid $250 to move everything out of 2 bedroom apt.A&B movers charged flat fee of $300 to move the whole house.Recomend Iron Back Movers,Houston movers,Los Flores movers and Optimum charge less. Lol

    Updated: A different manager contacted me after I first posted this review and was apologetic about our experience. He reiterated that they are not really equipped to pack "not carefully" and they train their employees to always wrap things carefully. He listened to my complaints and offered to refund up quite a bit of our cost for both time and materials. He said they wanted to work to make us satisfied customers so we might use them again. So I have updated my review to 4 stars since it was a bit of a hassle but glad that my complaints were handled professionally and courteously. Original post: We booked square cow last minute to pack up items in our kitchen cabinets for a kitchen remodel. When we booked we were up front about our situation and told Kayla that since boxes were not really "going" anywhere that they didn't need to be packed carefully. We were putting everything in the garage so no worry about breakage. Well fast forward to 5.25 hours after arrival and our kitchen was not done. Granted, we have a lot of cabinets. Bryan, the manager, came to our house to check since the crew was taking a long time and said it was a 5 hour job. Considering a friend has his whole 3 bedroom house packed by a different company for a move across town in 8 hours, we just feel ripped off. We also paid $180 for "supplies"- about 21 boxes- which seems a bit crazy. It's so hard to know what a "normal" amount of time for this job should have been, but my biggest clue was when we started unpacking. This took for.ever since they triple wrapped everything. I found plastic solo cups wrapped in paper. They also didn't label boxes so I had to unpack absolutely everything to find stuff like oven mitts, towels. When I have a bad experience I always go to the manager to try to make it right. Bryan initially replied super fast and said he wanted to fix this. He offered to unpack the few boxes we had left but when I declined (for 3 boxes) he said he was having a meeting and would call me back the next day. That was 13 days ago. I've emailed to check in but nothing. Like I said- hard to know in this kind of thing if they are just "running the meter" and using tons of paper and supplies and taking their time, or if we just legit had to get our sippy cups triple wrapped. If you are worried about breakage then maybe they are a bet

    This was my first time moving on my own and SCM have made it so seamless and stress free! I have seen their truck on the highway before and they were the first mover company that came to mind. I scheduled the movers via phone a couple days before the move. I have a very tight work schedule therefore my moving window was very narrow. They were punctual, efficient, careful, and quick. I will definitely be using their services again!

    The right piece is the one that got hit and fell off, the top one got a giant gap and no longer closes all the way.

    Movers arrived late, my dresser was damaged and I'm out for $200, but there's a reason I'm still giving them at least 3 stars. The movers were 20 minutes late, but in less than 5 minutes of calling Square Cow I was on the phone with John(manager I believe), who was extremely helpful. With most services being so computerized and automized now a days, I was shocked with the amazing customer service and understanding that he provided. It's definitely something you rarely get now a days. I should also add the movers were also very down to Earth and great guys - just late. Sadly my drawer that was handmade by father was damaged. Albeit it's a beautiful drawer, I still had a lot of respect for the movers honesty and integrity to tell me about it. He promised he would fix it with gorila glue, which they did, it just didn't work since the top of it also got hit and it no longer fits inside. Do I recommend Square Cow? Absolutely. They're friendly, fast, and have great customer service. But in all honesty, did my moving process leaving me somewhat disappointed? Sort of. I will say this though: I do truly appreciate how honest they were in regards to being late, damaging my drawer, attempting to fix it, and disassembling my headboard free of charge.

    I have moved no less than 20 times in my life. Actually far too many to count! I dread each and every one of them! This time I hired a company I had never heard of with a very funny name ( that's why I picked them!! ) . I'm so happy I did! They cam out ,gave me a very fair quote and confirmed my available date. On moving day they showed up on time and got right to work. They sent 5 very nice young men and two trucks. My job was a big one! Mettrick, Mitchell, DJ , Drake, and Dupree ware amazing! So polite and funny! I could tell that they really enjoyed each other and their job. They went above and beyond! They were so different from the other companies and I'm so grateful! I would definitely use them again and I will refer them to all my friends

    We just had new floors put in so they were able to maneuver around the debris and were respectful about the new floors.

    4 movers worked hard all day and were very professional. Nothing but "Yes ma'am" and "Yes Sir" all day. Just a 5 mile move but took all day (estimated for 10 hours, but actual was 7 hours as we had packed very well and taken a 15 foot Uhaul loaded myself a few days before) with a 4 bedroom house. Head mover Marco was especially on the spot. Definitely no complaints and very satisfied, thank you.

    This was the second time we've used Square Cow Moovers and our experience was excellent both times. Monty was the lead mover on this move for my elderly parents from the Houston area to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Everyone was professional, courteous, and they worked very hard and efficiently. Having had bad experiences with other companies, this was a welcome huge improvement, and the price was great too. Thanks to Monty and the entire company! Highly recommend.

    It's not just a motto, it's the way they are. Such a pleasure to work with.

    I can't say enough good things about the crew from the Yale street office. Led by James Moore (no relation) with three very capable crew members: James Mason, Eli Eastman, and Elvis Perez. They did an extraordinarily job of packing our 2,500 sq. ft apartment and moving it into a three story townhouse. Not only were they very, very polite and communicative with us, and helpful (they would not let us lift a finger). But their communication with each other was also impressive, as was their attitude. They were also very polite and helpful to each other; like a team would be. A better crew I have not seen before. I think they realize how stressful and tiring a move is for their clients and do everything they can to make it go smoothly, which it did. Yes Ma,am Yes Sir No Problem My Pleasure It's not just the slogan on their T-shirts, it's their way of doing business, which they truly seem to enjoy. This is my second move with Square Cow and i will definately use them in the furure and recommend them without reservation.

    This review is strictly for the packing services that they offer. I am writing this review as the packing is still going on. After much research, I decided to go with Square Cow (despite them not being the cheapest quote we had received) because of what they said on their website about clients being able to leave their place as is and the packers handling it all. They suggested 3 men instead of 2 but when they heard that I only had 2 beds, 1 tv table, 1 book case, a chest, and a dresser without a mirror, they agreed 2 men would be enough. During the week prior to the move, I did get started on my packing and packed over 75% of my 2 bedroom, 1 study, 2 bath apartment in advance. All they had to pack up was my kitchen and my closets when they arrived. I had called them 2 days in advance asking them if I needed to tell them how many boxes I would need. I was told, "no one can ever predict how many boxes they will need. Do not worry, we will bring THOUSANDS of boxes and all packing material." Great, right!? I was wrong. The two men arrived on time. However one seemed experienced and the other clueless. After a while, I get informed that they did not bring wardrobe boxes because I did not request them. ..that that is a specific request. I don't understand why when I book packers, I have to specifically ask for wardrobe boxes. Isn't that a given that I would have clothes in my closet? Never mind. He said he will wrap them in blankets. Oh well, I let go. Next, I get informed that they forgot to bring packing paper to wrap all the art. So now those would also get wrapped in blankets. I walk into the kitchen and see that my wine glasses are not wrapped but tossed in a box with beverage bottles. At some point they realize, they need more help and have two more guys show up. I was impressed. Thought i would write a rave review after those additional guys really speeded the packing up. Thought they redeemed themselves. Not the case. They stayed only an hour. Now 6 hours later, we still haven't finished loading the truck AND some things remain unpacked still because after using the 20 boxes we provided, they ran out of their own boxes. So I believe the guarantee I was given of having enough boxes for us was false. The only reason I am giving them 2 stars instead of 1 is because the men who are still here are extremely hardworking, courteous, and willing to help in every way. Plus it just started storming and they are very chill about it! Just really not OK with how management handled the whole thing. I can only imagine the nightmare I would have faced had I not finished majority of the packing. I will update this review to include the moving aspect when I have more information on that. Update: Received a phone call from the manager informing us that they usually pack the day before. Why was I not informed of that? No idea. What can they do now? Nothing. Why are there no wardrobe boxes? My fault. Said they will call me back. No call yet after 2 hours. It's now been over 8 hours. Things are still not packed completely. Truck still not loaded. No extra men. No phone call from manager. AND GUESS WHAT? They are leaving a few things behind because there is no space in the truck. Find it hard to believe when I don't even have a couch, coffee tables, mirrors, dining table, chairs, study table etc...that an average person has!! FINAL UPDATE: Eventually, the whole move from one apartment to a house (8 miles distance) took 13 hours. Some things (approximately 6 to 8 boxes worth of stuff) is still at the apartment which we will have to get on our own. Some boxes have been left in the garage even though they were labeled. I don't blame the guys for it. I am sure they were pretty exhausted. Management admitted to miscommunication and decided to come to a settlement (even though they alluded to going through the legal route earlier when we said we will not pay them for 13 hours of this nonsense). In the end, I respect them for THAT part. Will I use them as packers again? Probably not. Will I use them as movers? Maybe.

After the final stop, they closed me out and everything was done in 2 HOURS!! I was shocked. This crew of three guys done in 2 hours packing up my 600 sqft apartment was a great value and money well spent compared to the other quotes I received.

I had to call and confirm instead of them. They left my front door wide open and never turned the gate back on so if I hadn't gone back for cleaning supplies my door would've been left open over night. When I told the only guy who spoke English he said "I wasn't the last one out" no apologies just a lazy answer. They never unpacked properly. I started unpacking the kitchen, so they had an idea of where things went. They didn't try, they just unpacked random stuff and threw it in places. Appliances were disassembled which could have easily been put together. My cake stand was in two thrown on the counter top with a box over the glass in an unsafe manner. They said they were scheduled to come back tomorrow and when I called to complain about how the place left they said the job was done and I should've said something before they left. I told them they should leave instead of waiting for me to return after picking up my daughter they told me had to pay. Which understood I'll pay for the day, but the packing job was not done. These are scammers. It's been a long time since I dealt with a business like this but this one beware.

    I cannot reccomend this moving company enough. We just used ironback movers for a full service move…read morefrom Houston to San Fransisco. I interviewed about 6 moving companies and right away from talking with Abner I felt comfortable. Other moving companies were very persistent, trying to sell me, and seemed dishonest. Abner was very responsive and straight forward but did not contact me again after initial quote until I decided to go with him. He garunteed pick up date and arrival date (and time and was 10 minutes early each time!) which was huge for us as our move had to be very scheduled and other companies quoted us a 2 week interval (or more!) of when our items would be delivered. His crew in Houston arrived and packed our entire apartment, included disassembling basic items. They were extremely professional and efficient. Every item even valuable and breakable items arrived in perfect condition. He met us in San Fransisco 5 days later and him and two others unloaded all our boxes and assembled any dissassembled items. Again very professional and efficient. Iron back movers turned what could have been a very stressful move into 0 stress. Abner was extremely hardworking, professional, and easy to work with as was every member of his team. We hope we can use him for any future moves even though we are no longer in Houston!

They were very responsive when we inquired (via text) and I liked that they charged per hour based on the number of movers you requested. We scheduled the moving date, signed a contract, and were ready to go! On moving day, the movers arrived promptly and they were so quick in moving everything! within two hours everything had been moved out of our townhome! It took them another hour and a half to move everything to the new place. Very impressed! They also wrapped certain pieces of furniture for us and disassembled as well as assembled others. Cost was reasonable as well. I would say they are more cost efficient compared to other movers we had inquired. Overall we had a good experience with iron/back movers and would use them again for our next move!

    Updated Review - June 2026…read more I am updating my previous five-star review from August 2025 because my experience on June 19, 2026 was dramatically different. As a widow and parent of a medically fragile daughter, I chose this company specifically because of the excellent service I received last year. This time, the crew worked for approximately five hours with no complaints. The lead driver performed a walkthrough, used my bathroom, and the team packed and loaded belongings without raising any concerns about the condition of the home. Everything changed when it came time to move our stacked washer and dryer unit (329 lbs). Suddenly, the lead driver claimed the apartment was so filthy it was making him sick and they could no longer continue. This was the first time any issue was mentioned. Two days prior, maintenance workers had been in the same apartment and specifically commented on how clean it was. I was left with furniture, beds, and belongings still in the old apartment while the crew stopped for about an hour before disappearing. I had to scramble to figure out what happened to my possessions. Since arriving at the new place, we have also discovered multiple damaged items (couch, end table, broken patio chair, etc.) that were not damaged prior to the move. This experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I have no problem leaving glowing feedback when a company performs well -- I did so previously. Unfortunately, this move fell far short of the professional service I expected and paid for. I would not recommend or use this company again. And they still charged me $825 for half a move. --------------- Previous review from August 2025: I cannot say enough nice things about Ethan, Patrick and Chrisean who helped me and my daughter move. We could NOT have done it without them. That's the truth. They were the nicest guys and so efficient. I just unpacked all the china they packed for me and I'm amazed at how quickly they were able to do that and with such care and precision. I will only ever use this company for my moving needs. That's the truth. Services Senior moving, Local moving, Moving-related packing, Oversized-item moving
