Terrible service, lost our items, driver checked off as there, claims wont do anything about it, broke items not replacing the full amount found cheap stuff off amazon, when our items were custom made from local small businesses, customer service is terrible, never got an update when asked took a month to get anything passed the date expected, showed up was rude when packing. Over all a terrible experience and I would not recommend.

John Gray Moving did a great job in a pinch, on short notice! Their team even responded to a website inquiry on a long weekend! Definitely recommend! The team did a great job of Tetris to help move things from a flood damaged basement to fit inside the garage in a convenient and safe way.

Just a perfect 10! On time, professional and courteous
Wrapped up all the furniture and were very efficient (time wise).
Fyi....this is my 3rd time using them! Just as a note if you're moving, be as prepared as possible, have everything done the night before except for last second things.( get up at 6am to finalize)Prepare a medium box called open first for clothes and toiletteries and important things when arriving at your new residence!
