Best Moving Companies in Connecticut 2024

Many Colonial customers say they were happy with the detailed inventory and communication from the company, as well as the professionalism and efficiency of the movers.

A reviewer from Salisbury said about the experience, “It was excellent with Colonial Van Lines. Their pricing was better than some of the others, and they had their own storage which was the main priority.”

Jill of Branford also had a good experience: “The rep with Colonial was very helpful, attentive, and always available for questions. She called me regularly to see if I was on track and comfortable with what was happening.”

Some customers mention a lack of customer service and communication. A few mention multiple changes in moving coordinators throughout the process. 

Shamen of Stamford said: “There was confusion about the weight. I had a rough estimate, and they based the quote off that. However, I removed a lot of things because I was able to sell off some stuff. … I needed to pay 25%, 25% then 50%. The two 25% payments were based on the lower rate, but when the final delivery was happening, they didn't take the reduced weight into account, so I had to pay $600 extra.” Ultimately, though, Colonial resolved this issue.

Many reviewers on our site mention positive experiences with AmeriSafe Moving Services. They often say they appreciated the company’s (and its subcontractors’) communication and customer service.

Judith from Fairfield said about her experience: “I reach out to to Amerisafe to help me with my long distance move from Connecticut to Florida. Everything went well from start to finish. Movers were wonderful and quick. I am happy I chose Amerisafe as there is lots of bad companies out there that don’t care but they definitely do same as their name. Choose Amerisafe is choosing peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

Charles of South Windsor said he’d hire the company again: “Done an excellent job the time they arrived until now, which is time for them to leave. Any question I had had the answer. Anything I asked him to do they did for me. They are two very well-trained people and I would recommend their company because of them. Thank you very much for all the hard work.”

A few customers mention delayed arrival of the movers and a general lack of communication throughout the move. Kimberly from Naugatuck found the rep she spoke to “impatient, pushy, condescending and patronizing.” She told us: “When I shared my impression with him, he then proceeded to tell me that he didn't need my business and that he was doing me a favor. My entire exchange with him was unpleasant and unsettling and for certain unprofessional.”

Many reviewers on ConsumerAffairs say they were impressed with the professionalism and hard work of WayForth’s moving teams.

Brian of Suffield said about his experience: “The crew that came in was very professional, friendly, and respectful. It was in a senior facility, from one apartment to another one, and they were great.”

A reviewer in Southbury’s story is similar: “WayForth moved the furniture from my aunt’s apartment to the assisted living home and the guys who came were super good. They handled even older furniture like it was brand new and wrapped everything. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly and accommodating. In general, the move was excellent. There wasn't a lot of stuff for my aunt so it took four hours.”

One reviewer on our site was initially satisfied with the assessment and contract process, but there were issues with the floor plan and measurements not aligning with the actual unit.

Customers often praise IVL for its teams’ professionalism, punctuality and attention to detail. Hoover in Norwalk chose the company for its price, among other factors: “They did a fine job with my move. They showed up with a crew of 4 guys and packed all of our stuff. The move was completed in a good time frame, and I got all my things without damage.”

Nicole of West Haven said about her experience: “I recently used this company for a cross country move. The movers were polite, professional, and reliable. That showed up on time and ready to work. They made sure all my furniture was safely and carefully placed in the truck, as well as made sure that it arrived to my new home in the same condition as when it was packed. I will without a doubt be using them for any future moves I may have.”

A few reviewers mention a subcontracting of the move to careless and disreputable movers and careless packing and unpacking of belongings.
