    It has been a nightmare dealing with this company. They not just arrived two hours late, but damaged 4 furniture items. They scratched our floor setting the dresser down and sliding it. Have been trying to get some compensation with the owner and manager but there has been no budging on their side. The movers didn't know what they were doing. Only one mover had a clue and the other two seemed as it was their first day. Definitely be wary hiring these guys.

    Do not use Great Job Movers, especially if moving out of the DMV area. We book them in early May for a pick-up date of June 29th, plenty of time in advance. They came and picked everything up with relatively little problems. BUT they kept our things in storage for the past 16 days rather than get on the road, saying there have been numerous problems "out of their control" that came up. At first, they told us they were in the process of booking a driver for our move. Then it was that the truck assigned to our move broke down. Now, they have to wait until the "Operations Team," gets back to them with updates before we know when our things will finally be on the road. They claim they cannot even call their operations team, as they only communicate via email, and that customers are especially unable to communicate with the operations team directly.

    Every time we call, they cite their "30 day" policy even though on our estimate call before booking the same staff member reassured me that this policy was only for liability purposes and that the company regularly makes moves well before that deadline. We are currently on day 17 out of 30, and our things have NOT left their storage unit.

      Great Job Moving's price was a little better than other moving companies. I moved out of a townhouse. Everything was ready to go, and the distance of the move was about 8 to 10 miles. The moving crew just had to move boxes and furniture. I had everything packed up and the stuff that I had packed up. They wanted to wrap certain things, which were already wrapped up. All the packing was done. All they had to do was come in and move it out.

      I wasn't too thrilled with the guys who came to move it. It was a couple of guys. I wasn't too thrilled about their professionalism because there were things that they were doing and kept complaining about certain items that I had to move. I explained to them what I had before I hired them to come move and they kept complaining. Even after all that, I still gave them a nice little tip, but I wasn't really satisfied with them. I would not recommend Great Job to anyone because I was not satisfied at all with the moving. I had written on each box what room goes where and which box goes in what room. The movers just set stuff anywhere they wanted to so they could have me up and be done.

      I like that Great Job Moving is local. They had availability and the price that they quoted me was in the ballpark of what I was looking for. I went from an apartment on a third floor walk-up to a three-story townhome less than two miles away and I explained that when I contacted the people. I moved in December and the beginning part of the move was very cold. They were on time. The door was left open the entire time. But they were moving so much that they didn't get cold. They were up and down those stairs and hauling heavy stuff. I have heavy furniture but nothing got broken.

      They laid down all kinds of plastic sheeting and put little booty things on their shoes so nothing got dirty or scratched. There were no stains or scuff marks on the carpet. There were no holes on the walls as well. Everything stayed clean so I was happy with that. They went over a couple of hours, but they didn't charge me what they should have for the extra time. They had one guy who didn't speak a lot of English, but he was taking direction from one of the other workers. He took direction really well and despite having a language barrier, he did a great job. He knew exactly what to do and went at it.

      I like Great Job Moving and Storage a lot. I've had to move my son who has special needs from my house to a group home, move my mom's stuff out of memory care and move my son twice again. They were short moves and they often had a couple of stops that they needed to accommodate and a little bit of complications, but they always did a good job. I also had to change the date once and there was no problem. I felt good about working with them. They have a three-hour minimum. One time, there was still an hour left, so I asked the guys to move furniture around in my own house from one floor to another and out to my office in the backyard. They were super nice about it and did the whole three hours. They were very efficient and careful with the furniture. They wrapped everything carefully with plastic wrap. They knew how to deal with a rocker recliner.

      It was three and a half to four hours total time including driving time, but it took them an hour and a half to load up the truck. And it took them less than an hour to unload the truck. It was easier to unload because I moved into a building that had an elevator and we had exclusive access to that. But moving out, I lived on the second floor and it was stairs only. And there were stairs down from the front of the apartment building down to the road as well. So, there was a lot of carrying for them. They did a great job with that.

      Great Job Moving was the absolute worst moving company I have ever had in my entire life. Nothing was done the way they said it would be and they charged me more for the pleasure.

But they were supposed to show up a week beforehand to pack things and when I called, I was told that the woman I had spoken with was in a meeting and that she would call me back as soon as possible. She did two days later and assured me everything would be happening. On the day of the move, nothing was packed. The movers showed up and I had to help them pack the stuff.

      My previous home was in Kingstown, Alexandria in Virginia, and we moved to Springfield, Virginia. It wasn't too far, and the reps from Great Job Moving were very helpful and understanding about everything. I had a good experience with them. The movers were all courteous and did their job well too. They helped pack, then moved everything to the truck. The move took a day and a half. One day was spent in just packing up everything, then the next day, they came to the house, finished everything, and loaded it into the truck, then they brought it and offloaded it at the new house. The items were all in good shape. We could have done better with the labeling because there were a lot of boxes, but the whole house was packed in a day, so it was fine.
