      Above and Beyond

      When my parents decided to downsize, we knew we needed a moving company that could handle the job with patience and care. And luckily, Golan's Moving & Storage exceeded our expectations. Their movers carefully packed fragile family heirlooms, and ensured each item was secured for transport. They were incredibly respectful and even helped my parents arrange their furniture in the new space. They deserve all the praise!

      Absolutely THE BEST!!!

      These movers did so much more than just pack and move my stuff! They helped me rearrange the furniture in my new place to make the most of the space. They offered to take down and hang up a heavy mirror, even though it wasn't originally part of the price. The leader of the crew was fantastic, and he kept checking in on me to make sure I was happy and didn't need anything.

      I can’t recommend them enough!

      I hired Golan's Moving & Storage to move my elderly parents into their retirement home, and the crew was so patient, kind, and respectful. They packed everything meticulously, taking extra care with my parents’ favorite recliners, family photo albums, and medical equipment. They took time to chat with my dad about his old record collection while packing it up. Moving is emotional, and Golan's Moving & Storage handled it with so much heart. I can’t recommend them enough!

Fabulous Experience.

Your service was always punctual, and professional, and took a lot of the stress out of moving, which is one of life's most stressful experiences. Professional, friendly staff and very well organized. My experience with this company was fabulous. They gave me so much ease and comfort and did all my moving on their own. Nothing was scratched or damaged. I would only use them if I ever need removals service again.Thanks Golan's Moving & Storage.

Excellent Service.

My mother was in the process of downsizing and recently moved from one condo to another. Golan's delivered wardrobe boxes in advance and was careful and meticulous when moving out and into each location. The crew was lead by Martin who was patient and thorough. Each move was late in the day toward the end of the week. The men were tireless and caring. They deconstructed and reconstructed a desk in each location. Moving can be stressful. Martin and his crew were patient, kind and supportive. They made a difference !!

Moving large pieces of furniture.

I would like to thank Golan's moving company, for their employees' work ethics. Maneuvering large heavy pieces of furniture down a narrow staircase with ease was remarkable. They arrived on time and with the required items for the move, for example, pads, straps, and enough manpower. Thank you again. You have one very happy customer.

Communicative, efficient, cost effective

They were highly recommended to me so I went with them, so glad I did!

They were very accommodating of my strange timing needs. The building I moved into had a loading docks with limited time windows and they made it work so that I would fit into my window.

They were prompt, communicative, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing by the way the movers on site communicated with each-other.

They allowed me to direct them to each room as each box and piece of furniture came in so that it was placed in the correct room. All my things arrived as they left the old building.

I would definitely move with them again!

Long-distance move from Chicago, IL to Charlotte, NC

I was in a major bind with a recent move

We recently moved to North Carolina, and we were in a bid bind because the movers we originally hired cancelled with less than 48 hours. We called around and that's how we found Golan's. The movers were able to get us quoted, and assured us they would come out the day of the move and they did. The move took just a couple of days, due to distance. Communication was never an issue. I feel they all worked together and did a fantastic job

Long-distance move from Wilmette, IL to Brentwood, TN

Worst moving experience ever!!

We used Golan's several times a few years ago to move from the city to the suburbs. Great job. So when we were relocating to another state, they were our first call. We liked the estimator, quote was reasonable, and everything seemed fine. They even revised their estimate downwards a few days before the move. The day packing started, everything changed. Suddenly we were told the cost of packing was going to be 2.5-3x the estimate. The estimator disappeared and the office manager got argumentative with us over the packing costs. They insisted we needed a shuttle truck at our destination with a significant incremental cost, even though we had been told repeatedly that we would not. The day they were to load the truck, they showed up seven hours later than we were told, no calls or updates. And they demanded a cashier's check for their total cost before they would agree to deliver our items; the total ended up being 40% higher than their revised estimate, even with a small concession over packing charges. Like most reasonable people, I had relied on their estimates and didn't have 40% extra lying around. It felt like extortion because we had to pay in order to get our items back. We complained with the Better Business Bureau because we couldn't believe they had an A+ rating, and Golan's fought everything we said tooth and nail with nothing to justify their claims. A horrible experience and I would recommend that anyone considering using Golan's should expect that it won't end up the way they tell you up front. Be very careful and might want to look elsewhere.

Long-distance move from Chicago, IL to Nashville, TN

Zero Stars If I Could

I would not recommend Golan's. They gave us an estimate, which they said they would revise prior to the move and after we disposed of some items, and it came in 20% lower. Then they started packing, told us "optional" fees were no longer optional, and gave us the final bill - once they had our items loaded on their truck - and it was 40% higher than the original "higher" estimate. 40% higher! Argumentative customer service. Told us they would arrive at a specific time and showed up six hours later. Got to the other end and they only had two guys to unload, so it took two days. Opened a lot of large boxes to find them filled with paper and one small item, and of course we had paid for the packing material. We had used them twice previously and were pleased with them both times, which is why we engaged with them this time. Never again.

I would not hesitate to refer and use their services again. I have referred them to clients and have heard nothing but rave reviews.

Local move within Chicago

We moved from a 2 bedroom high-rise apartment to another high rise apartment. We are in our 70's and used Golan to pack for us as well as move us. We did a virtual tour of our apartment so I felt confident that they had a good idea of what we would need for packing. Another company had me guessing how many boxes etc I would need. The workers showed up on time, worked all day to get us packed and came back the next day for the move. They marked all boxes and placed boxes in the appropriate room at the new apartment on move day. Nothing was broken, all pieces were together. It was just a great experience. I highly recommend Golan.

Local Move

Moved my father from a condo to a senior living community in the same town. Martin and his crew were fantastic. They arrived on time and were friendly and efficient. We had done all the packing of clothing and small items while Martin and his team focused on the furniture items. They wrapped each furniture piece and carefully took it to their truck. Upon arrival at the destination, they worked with staff at the senior community to move all items to my Dad's new place. The unwrapped and placed all furniture where we asked them to place it. It was stressful moving our 92 year old Dad but Golan's movers helped to make it easier.
