“Tony the Mover is professional, honest and efficient. He and his crew helped my fiance and I to move into our new rental home today. I used his service because he had the best communication, responding quickly to calls and emails, as well as the best quote. However, we got so much more than that! Tony was courteous, skillful and friendly, and he clearly loves his job. He and his crew were so efficient, it made me feel as though I was in a well-organized whirlwind of furniture. Tony came out to the house last week to take a look at it, and to measure the stairs. This was impressive research, and gave me confidence in his professionalism. He added on an extra mover to help to hoist furniture in through the second story porch, since the stairs were too narrow, but this did not greatly increase the earlier quote. He had a fair price for the work done. We agreed on a date and time for the move a week later, and he stuck to it, getting there exactly on time. A bit of backstory on the furniture: My uncle recently had to move into a care facility, and wanted me to have the furniture in his storage locker. It was horribly organized, and involved literally climbing over mountains of furniture. Tony the Mover had the whole place cleaned out and packed in less than an hour. When they arrived at the house, they handily lifted a sofa bed through the porch door, even though this meant removing (and later replacing) the railing. They did this quickly, and without damaging the porch. None of”
A local move around Metro Detroit is short on miles but long on basement stairs, tight streets, and Michigan weather. On a local move, Tony the Mover shows up with the truck and crew, pads the fragile pieces, rolls out floor runners against the salt, and puts each item exactly where you point, at a set price with nothing added once the truck is empty.
What a Local Move Includes
- A truck and crew stocked with dollies, straps, pads, and stretch wrap
- Loaded, driven, unloaded, and carried up from or down to the basement
- Bed frames, tables, and dressers broken down and reassembled at the new place
- Charged hourly for a small job, or one flat figure for the whole house
