Element Moving & Storage

After a VERY BAD experience with another moving company and a sleepiness night worrying how I was going to get out of my apartment and get across the country in time to start work, I contacted this company a day before a holiday, and they were able to get a crew to my apartment and get everything loaded in two hours.  My furniture was completely wrapped for protection from any damages. They inventoried all my stuff as they loaded it on the truck. They turned a very stressful event around for me, which allowed me to relax.  The employees were very friendly, and helpful.  I would highly recommend this company any day.

The moving team came right on time, I really like the way they managed to arrange our stuffs inside the truck in order to be sure that nothing won't break along the way, the entire process was very professional, I am very happy with their work, actually I did not expect so much care they gave in packing my forniture, and they were careful in handling my boxes and forniture, they didn't damage any of my forniture or walls in the house, that's amaizing!  I moved everithing from Dallas Texas to New Jersey, the delivery was fast, and the delivery persons who came to New Jersey, also was very punctual and nothing was damage or lost in the transportation.  I will always remember this moving experience with Happiness!!  I could not ask for more       Thanks to Element :).

I would just like to express my sincere gratitude for all the things you have done for my move. With husband being away in abroad and myself living remotely at another state, this move seemed to be a formidable task. I am so glad that I chose Element. You just made it so easy. I really appreciate the numerous phone consultations Sheila provided to my what-if questions and particularly the fast response that led to fast resolution of the car key problem.   It was already Friday evening when I realized the car keys had been packed up with the furnitures. Out of panic, we were making calls and sending emails, but didn't expect much response because it was already late in Friday evening. But to my surprise, I got email response quickly from Elle and soon received call back from Sheila. That really calmed my anxiety and allowed me to sleep at easy for the night. When I arrived your office early morning next day, Julie had already had everything ready to help to recover the keys. I just couldn't believe this was resolved so quickly and smoothly. Words can hardly express my gratitude.   I am extremely satisfied with your service.

I have moved probably ten times in my life, both across the country and locally.  We hired Element moving and storage for a city to city move within the Dallas area.  They were outstanding in every single way.  The office customer service was prompt and professional.  The movers arrived early, and for three guys busted butt to get everything loaded and unloaded.  Extremely courteous, professional and hardworking.  I had a not to exceed estimate and they worked so fast, I paid 300 dollars less than what they estimated the move would cost.  Not one piece of damage or even a nick in the furniture or the walls at either place.  I HIGHLY recommend Element Moving and Storage!

I rate my entire experience with Element Moving a high 5!!  Hollie was very informative and patient in arriving at the best estimate possible.  NO SURPRISES!!  NO EXTRA FEES after the original quote.  Mark's team arrived on time and immediately went to work.  Mike and Steven wrapped every piece of furniture with heavy blankets.  Mark knew exactly how to load the truck to maximize space and secure the items section by section.  I've used movers before and never had such care shown for my belongings.  It was wrapped and packed so well that after unloading none of the furniture was scratched, nicked or had worn spots.!  Really!  The men were extremely polite and wouldn't let me do anything.  During the unloading, they moved the furniture around until I was happy with the arrangement.  They made sure the boxes went to the right room.  They "didn't want to leave me in a mess."  I made the decision to go with Element Moving because of the favorable reviews and so now I'm one of those favorable reviews.  Don't hesitate to hire Element Moving, especially Mark's team.

We found Element Moving on this website about 2 weeks before we needed to move my granparents from East TX to Fort Worth, TX on Nov 12th, 2012.  It is over a 230 mile drive.  Hollie was great and has such a calm manner.  I also was very impressed with the quote that was emailed to us.  It actually broke down/explained what the different costs were.  Man hours, gas, drive time and any extra packing material past what they provided for free. The email was very detailed and helped us out with getting ready.  My family has had several moves and this was the first time I have seen this done.  I would like to say that the cost estimated was almost exactly what we paid.  I don't think it was even a $50 difference.  The total ended up being around $1,980.  We had been quoted about $3000 from another moving company, they charged based on the weight of the stuff being moved. 
My mom was handling the pick up in East TX.  The movers were scheduled to arrive somewhere from 11am - 1pm.  They got there at 1 pm I think.  It was a long drive for them, prob 6 hours.   I was nervous that the pick up part would be stressful for my mom since she was dealing with it on her own.  When I spoke with her at the end she said that they did great and to give them an excellent grade when asked.  I don't think she even had to pop a Xanax.  
They dropped off the furniture the next day at noon, as scheduled.  Our movers were Kenny, Jared & Steven. They were all very professional and nice.  I could tell that the boss/main guy of the crew ran a tight ship, which is great to see when it comes to moving all of our grandparent's lifelong possesions.   All of the the furniture were wrapped in blue blankets.  The curio cabinet and grandfather clock were wrapped and boxed up.  Nothing was broken or damaged.   The guys even remembered how my grandparents living room and bedroom was set up, since we were trying to re-create it like they had it.  
It was a unanimous decision by all of my family that this was our best moving experience in a while.  Next time one of us moves we won't have to do any researching beacuse we plan to use Element Moving again.

We were extremely satisfied with our movers; Jose, Chris, and Jorge.  They arrived on time and were very professional throughout the entire move.  We had items which were being moved to our new place, donated to a local charity, and being placed into storage.  The guys quickly coordinated which items were going where and the order in which they would be placed in the truck and delivered to the desired location, and moved them in an efficient manner so that no additional unnecessary charges would be incurred.   As the movers charged by the hour, Jose identified when the clock started and stopped. They took care to protect the walls and floors at both our old and new homes, and identified property we owned with preexisting damage before they moved the items. Lastly, all of our property made it to our new place and storage unit in the same condition as it was in before the move.  We would recommend Jose, Chris, and Jorge to anyone, and will definitely be using Element Moving's services again. .

My experience  Element moving company has been very unsatisfactory and stressful. Before they received my business to make the move from Texas to Maryland, they were all good ,called me numerous times, followed up with me etc. Once I had signed up with them, everything went downhill. They gave us the name of driver and phone number , who never carried our trailer, so we couldn't contact anyone. They provided no cell phone or any other number for emergency contact. Our shipment was delayed by 4 days. Even then they didn't have the professional movers to deliver. The driver had 4 guys from Craigslist come out, which was outrageous given the number of incidents that happen with Craigslist person. They never returned our calls. Their customer service is unreliable and so is their delivery service. I strongly suggest to go with more professional service even if they will charge you more. The money you saved is not worth the stress.      .

Element moving proved to be a great experience all around. I move about once a year so I've used a lot of different companies. This is the first time nothing got broken or scratched. The movers (Richard and David)were friendly, gentle with my stuff and moved at a fast pace. They were professional and experienced. I spoke with Donna in the office and she was also friendly and very helpful. I called on short notice and she made sure that I got moved on time. I would highly recommend this company for your move. I will be using them for my next move!

Element is the worst moving company ever for moving more than just around the Dallas area.

They showed up over 1.5 hours late without calling to inform us, threw soda cans on the ground allowing soda to seep out onto freshly cleaned floors, ruined items by using so much tape that it is impossible to get the tape and residue off later. On the phone they give a moving time frame that is drastically unrealistic and don't let you know they are off schedule until you call them. They are very poor at returning calls. You will have to hunt them down by calling six times in one hour.

The customer service is worthless.

They also CHARGE 25% MORE THAN THE QUOTE the day of the move, once your stuff is already on the truck.

Absolutely horrible service. Did not reassemble what they disassembled. Left some of our boxes on the truck, drove off and we had to hunt down the driver to get him to bring the extra boxes back.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

There is a reason they are not a Better Business Bureau backed company.

Service cost: $5000

The crew was scheduled to arrive between 8 & 9 am. They arrived at 8:20am.
Both members of the crew were professional and very safe. All of my scheduled items were moved without incident.They took the utmost care of my moving items.
The crew completed the move in 2 hours & 45 minutes, which was earlier than scheduled. I am very pleased with the results of using Element Moving & I am very happy that I chose this company for my moving experience.

We moved from Dallas to Portland. Overall, I recommend the company.
PROS:
Incredible communication. I never had a problem knowing what was going on.The lowest quoted price of any company.They made all their "time windows" which were at most 2 hours.

CONS:We did a phone quote. We were charged for an additional 100 sq. ft. Not a big deal, but see below for more info.They broke a stair. Although they came back and fixed it later in the afternoon, I was the one to bring it up at the end of the loading part. Otherwise, I think they would have left it broken.


QUOTES:
If you get a phone quote, know that these are never reliable. However, when they packed our stuff in the truck, I'm almost positive our stuff came in UNDER the quoted sq. footage. When I asked why they charged me the extra 100 sq. ft, the mover simply said, well the whole truck is 1800 sq. ft. But they never measured. If I was to do it all over again, I would have made them get out a tape measure in front of me.

CONCLUSION
So, I'm tempted to give them a poor rating for honesty, but I can't confirm for certainty that the square footage wasn't what they said. Regardless, they still came in cheaper than most other companies. Just don't be afraid to push when you don't understand something and ask a TON of questions before the movers actually come to make sure you know what you're getting into.


Happy moving..

I was so stressed about moving and was so frustrated. I did a search online and found element. From the moment I heard my sales rep,s voice I felt such at ease. She was very thorough, virtuous and so helpful. The crew arrived right one time on the day of my move and did an great job! They worked hard, did not complain at all and kept moving til the job done. The total of my job ended up being less than what they quoted me which my sales rep prepared me really well for. It was just a great experience and I highly recommend element moving to anyone!

When it comes to reviewing my experience with Element, it is tough to decide where to even begin.  With most online reviews, there is something about the company that goes above and beyond that you'd like to point out, but with Element, it was simply everything.  From the care and precision that went into packing and wrapping my belongings to the timeliness and orderliness throughout the process, everything was great. These guys were quick, careful, and most importantly honest.     During my "day job" I have regular interaction with moving companies all across the country and I can tell you first-hand that many of these companies have one or two very friendly and helpful sales agents, but the rest of the company staff isn't anywhere near as friendly, helpful, or trustworthy.  With Element's staff, this is NOT the case.  Everyone from the owners to the drivers/movers and everyone in between went out of their way to make my entire moving experience as easy as possible.  I know there are plenty of moving companies to choose from, but I have yet to deal with one that as more reliable or honest than Element Moving.  Thanks again for everything!  .

Without a doubt if I ever need or know someone that needs a mover I would highly recommend this company.  My movers were Willis, Caesar and Roberto and they couldn't have been nicer or more efficient.  They came on time, asked me a couple of questions and then they got busy and didn't stop until they were done.  Nothing was broken or damaged. I was amazed at the speed that they worked and how organized and well mannered they were.  If I had a concern, they stopped and answered my questions without acting annoyed or bothered.  From the moment I talked to Jeremy at the office until my things were delivered I had an excellent experience.  The quote that was given to me was higher than I actually had to pay so of course this made me happy too!   Once again I am extremely happy with this company and wouldn't hesitate to mention them to anyone that needs to move.

We were only moving 10 minutes from our previous home but the stress and pre-planning are no less than if you were moving across the US.  Element Moving made it as easy as possible, offering support throughout the 8 month period we had to work with before our new home was complete.
The pre-home tour was professional and provided a good guideline as to what we were getting into and the follow up process 7 months later spelled out everything that we had to do to prepare for moving day.
The moving team was alert, careful, and offered extra assistance throughout the one day that we moved everything from our home and an off-site storage facility.  We even came in below budget!
Thank you for all of your hard work, and ensuring our new home was not damaged in any way when moving in our belongings.
Great job and I would recommund them for any and all local or cross country moves.
