      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 would recommend Great Job Moving for a moving job. They were the only company that followed up with me and decided to work with me on my budget. They gave me a discount and that stuck out for me. I spoke to somebody on the phone and told them what I had. They sent me a list via email for me to review and confirm. Then they provided me with the quote. However, I had to call the company twice to confirm my move. When I was speaking to the people that gave me the estimate, they made it sound like they would follow up a week before I would move and the day before I moved to give me the time and the window. But four days prior to my move, I hadn't heard from anybody. I had to call them three days before to make sure. Someone called me back that afternoon and someone also called me the day before. But I felt I had to be the initiator when I shouldn't have had to.

      On the moving day, I got a call from the movers. They let me know when they would arrive. They arrived within the window that they said that they would. They packed everything more efficiently than I expected. The difficult thing was when they got to my new address. They didn't have a loading dock or a small elevator. It was good that it was a three-man team because they worked quicker so it happened a lot faster. They found a way around. They were able to work together and move the big items through the balcony doors. They made the best of the situation even though I was on the ground floor and they were blocked by the bushes. I had a couple damaged items but not that they aren't usable again. My couch wasn't brand new but one of the legs was broken off. I just put a quick sticky tape to keep it in place.

        This was our second move using Great Job Moving. Their customer service was great because I dealt with the same person at their office, Dustin, whom I had dealt with the first time. He immediately remembered who I was even though our move prior to this one was several months ago. We talked about the parameters of this move, which I thought might be more difficult. He was absolutely reassuring that they would have no problem with it. We discussed manpower issues. They suggested a job this size would just need two people. I said I'd rather have three just because I was having a king-size metal bed frame moved from one site to another, and I wanted to make sure. So we added a third person, and they were right. I didn't need to add a third person.

        When the guys got there, they said, “Wait a minute. This is the whole job?” I said, “Don't you laugh at me. I wanted to be sure.” But they were absolutely positive, helpful, cordial, and on time. They did everything impeccably. One thing that I liked in the first move was that they wrapped every single item so carefully. Items I never would have thought necessarily had to be wrapped up, but they did. I appreciated that in both instances because I that helped a lot.

        They were very professional and they did their job quickly, but I never felt like they were rushing. They made sure to consult with us every step of the way. I was at one location while they were preparing the items to move. Before I even imagined they could be, they were at the second location. They got everything set up beautifully. We had things to remove. We wanted junk taken out, and we had pre-arranged that they would reserve a space in the truck just for junk removal. They did that.

        Every aspect of what we asked them to do was done exactly the way we wanted quickly. We had a very good feeling that the people that they have sent in both cases were very responsible and trustworthy people. That was a great feeling when you don't know who you're gonna see and meet, but they were wonderful. They made sure that everything was left just the way we wanted it. It made a big difference. When they left, everything was where we wanted, the way we wanted, and in perfect working condition. So we were very pleased by that.

        During our first move, we realized we didn't include some things. We could add those so that there was no problem with that. They were flexible and responsive. It was very easy to talk to somebody there and Dustin was always available for any questions. Great Job Moving gave us a written estimate with everything broken down carefully. In both cases, the final cost was below the estimate, which was not expected. They also followed up to make sure that we were satisfied.

        Great Job was really good. I looked at the reviews online, and also, I spoke to a customer service professional back then, and he was extremely accommodating with our schedule. We had a tight schedule to get the whole thing picked up and delivered in a certain amount of time. He was able to accommodate that, and that was the reason why I chose them first place. One thing I wanted to point out is I work with music around, especially when I do a hard stuff with heavy lifting, and the guys did the same on that day. The community that I lived in back then is extremely sensitive to sound. So, somebody called the cops on us for the two hours. By the time police came in, the truck left.

        We packed almost 80% of the stuff in the boxes. All the clothes and the vessels and the utensils in the kitchen were already packed. All they did was there were some loose stuff like the bed, the TV, and they physically took it out. Other than that, everything is packed. They're extremely productive. They were able to vacate the whole house in an hour and a half max. It's a three-level townhouse and they were able to just take out all the stuff in like an hour and a half. I've not seen anybody that productive until then. What I would suggest, though, is if music is moving them, creating the momentum, they should try and give them a pair of headsets.

        I tried to pick three other companies during the week and they all ghosted me last minute, so I called Great Job Moving on a Friday in a panic and said, "I need to move tomorrow." It was very easy to access the information they had available, and the rep asked about what kind of space I was moving out of and what I needed to have done. She was very friendly and easy to talk to, and the company sent me a quote online almost immediately. They shockingly offered me a fantastic price. I needed to be out of the house on Sunday, and I was scheduled within an hour of finding them. They were able to come out and they worked really hard. They asked if they could pack the kitchen as well. I had everything else ready, but they packed up the kitchen as well last minute.

        They brought my items to two locations. They brought half of it to storage, then the other half of it to my new house. They unloaded everything and put it into the rooms that the items needed to go into. From the time of starting where I was moving out of and then both locations and drop-off, they had finished everything in six hours. They were extremely quick and efficient and did a fantastic job in terms of care. I recommended them to a roommate I was moving in with. She was moving out three weeks later and she used the same company and said she had the same experience. She absolutely loved working with them.

        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 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.

        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.
