    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.

      This was my second time using Great Job Moving and Storage and I had a positive experience with them the first time. I went with someone else because Great Job Moving and Storage said they couldn't do it. That was a horrible experience that I called them back. When they heard about my bad experience, they made their way and made it work for me because they were upset as I was with the other company. So, I enjoyed.

      The quote wasn't accurate, but we understood. I knew that a lot of the stuff we had was heavy and the rep might have assumed that it was just regular stuff. But it was furniture. Other than that, the crew was helpful. They didn't want me to help them. They just wanted to do it. They were, "No, we got it. Don't worry about it." It was a good experience. It was less than a lot of other places as far as cars.

      I looked at Great Job Moving and Storage's info on their website and they had a lot of options and ability to say what my needs were. So, I contacted them. The movers were on time. Super courteous. They were helpful and quick. They did a great job both loading up and making sure everything was taken care of and packaged correctly, and unloading, checking with me and making sure things went to the right room, if they were unsure. They were nice guys. I appreciated them.

      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.

      I had a one-bedroom apartment sized move. I did all the packing. The only additional things were the bigger furniture that couldn't go into boxes and then taking apart my bed frame. So, they had to wrap some of the bigger items that I was moving. The moving crew was amazing. I would recommend them to anybody. They packed up everything, put it in their truck, and then drove out to my new place. If you need help moving, go with Great Job. They were spot-on, very professional, and very quick. It was so hot that day. I was trying to get them to take a break and drink some water. They were so quick, so friendly, and willing to assist. I had some things in my car, and they were willing to assist the stuff that I even had in my car.

      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.

      The prices were a little better than some competitors, but all in all, it ended up being just as expensive, if not a little bit more expensive. We weren't happy with the service and I would not go with them again.
