495 Movers

We were a bit disappointed in the 495 Mover's service for the following reasons: 1. The movers arrived late - the company said they were coming between 8 and 10am, but they came a little before 11 am. The movers eventually mentioned that they were up until 3 am the night before moving a very big house, so this may account for the lack of promptness. 2. After packing up our stuff, they took a long time driving between our old place to our new place.  Accounting for driving speed of the truck, it should have taken them 2 hours and it took them almost 3 and half hours. I drove the route in my car and it only took about 90 mins to get to our new place and we were left waiting close to 2 hours for the movers. They have to drive slower in the truck, but I believe they took a slower route and hit traffic. This was a bit stressful since we paid the company by the hour. They did eventually subtract 30 mins from their total time after we called and complained. One of their excuses was they said they stopped for lunch on the way.  3. Poor communication between their office and movers - the movers were told there was an elevator to our apartment, when we told their office there wasn't one. The movers were a bit annoyed, but they did handle it well considering. 4. This company cost more per hour than other companies. They had three guys working on our place, and we have a relatively smaller apartment. So maybe it would have better to just have had two guys and paid less per hour. 5. I would also say they high ball their estimates. When they gave their initial estimate we knew it was way too high (saying they would take 12 hours to move a small 2 bedroom apartment, when other companies suggested around 6-8). It's nice that they came in under the estimate, but their estimate was so unrealistic that it wasn't useful. I'm guessing they have the high estimate since customers hate when movers end up charging more than estimate..I understand that, but there is also something to accuracy.
 
There were good things about this company though: 1. The movers were professional, hard-working, and talented with disassembling/assembling items 2. They did not break any items and were careful about things. Extra wrapping, etc.   Big picture, I'd say you may be able to find a better deal with another company especially if you don't have too much stuff. I expected a bit more considering the cost of this company. If you want a trustworth company and you want to be sure no fragile items are broken then maybe this company is for you. The company seems more suited for large homes. We cared a bit more about time/money, so we'll probably look elsewhere in the future.

I used 495 Movers for a local move and my experience was very positive from the estimate stage to the actual moving day.  Everyone I interacted with was professional and helpful; it's clear that they are committed to provided excellent service.  Moti conducted and in-person survey of my belongings to ensure the most accurate estimate and was very responsive to my follow up questions. The day before the move, Jacob called with a final confirmation. Freddie & team on the day of the move were great.  They packed my items quickly and efficiently and checked with me throughout the move to make sure items were packed and placed as I wanted them.  After the move, John from the main office called to  follow up,  ensure that I was satisfied with the move and to thank me for my business.    I would definitely recommend 495 Movers.

My experience with 495 movers was excellent.  The initial salesperson walked through the potential size of the move by asking thorough questions and came up with a team size and time estimate.   It was very accurate, in my case, the cost came in less.
 
My full house move was accomplished with no damage to any item, as well as no damage to my old house or new house.  The house I moved to is literally a just built house, I would have noticed any ding or scrape.  There was none.

Marvin and his moving team were professional, and thorough, and very good at their work.  My experience was perfect.

Was a wonderful moving experience - I highly recommend 495 movers! They were up front about everything, never felt I was being taken advantage of. They were always prompt and responsive and fast. And since I was moving between two apt builidngs and had to reserve the loading dock/service elevator their promptness was super important. I've had some bad moving experiences before, but not with this company. I couldn't have been more pleased. If I have to move again I plan to use them. .

We just moved from an apt to a single family home and although I had movers booked, my builder did not get the occupancy certificate on time for our previously booked move. In panic, I started searching for movers online and decided to contact 495 Movers. Tom was responsive, professional and most importantly extremely flexible. Since I first spoke with him, our moving date changed a couple more times and Tom was easy to talk with and never irritated. He understood the challenges when it came to the uncertainty of things and made the move very simple. The moving crew was also extremely professional, timely, and easy to work with. We ended up needing boxes at the last minute and they were more than happy to accommodate. It made the entire thing so much more pleasant. I have recommended 495 to two of my other friends who are moving in the next month. The only thing (which was shared with me when I booked the move) was that they add a 5% charge if you pay with credit card - other than that - it was fantastic! Thanks to Tom and his crew!!

One of the most pleasant and professional experiences my family has been through.  The company was genuinely concerned about our well being and it  showed in the quality of work provided.  As we had to wait thirty days for the delivery due to timing with the move in date, 495 wrapped and stored our household goods.  At delivery, there was not any scratches nor damages.  The guys who did the physical work were friendly and quick.  They dismantled the furniture and rebuilt the same as if it was their own.  Morti was great to work with and listened to all my concerns and answered my questions without hesitation.    I will recommend Morti and 495 Movers to everyone. .
