Stop! Don't bother looking for other local movers! Found them via a Google Search for a local southtowns moving company and after I moved with them it turns out my mother and her friends have all been using them for decades!
This company is so personable that my mother actually remembers the owner's names (Tom & Sandy). Now it's run primarily by their son, Kyle, who is continuing family tradition and running the business in a great manner. The prices are more than reasonable - so much so that when they give you your quote and you compare it to "the other guys," you'll find yourself wondering just how bad is this going to be? Are they going to be late? Are they going to handle my belongings roughly? Are they going to hold my belongings hostage and claim I owe more after they've loaded them up on their truck? [True story, happens quite frequently - particularly in long distance moves.] These all have "NO" unequivocally as their answer.
These are great local folks, who fairly hire legal working citizens, and care for your belongings like they were their own. They're also great to chat with as they load/unload. The cost other companies quoted me for the same move was almost exactly DOUBLE what M&T quoted me. I was more than happy to give them a substantial tip and feed them lunch.
After the moved I joked, "I'm absolutely never using you guys again... because I'll be damned if I'm ever freaking moving again! However I am a song bird for you for life!"
Thanks Tom, Sandy, Kyle & gang! You're the only name I'll utter if I hear someone is looking for local movers!
