Day 1, the crew picking up our belonging was excellent. They worked quickly, carefully and they were kind and considerate. They were done in 4.25 hours; but, they charged me for 6.50 hours. They're truck broke down for 2.00 hours and blocked several driveways. Day 2, not as good. Many items that were clearly marked were placed in the wrong location. Many items were scratched, chipped or broken. The worst part was the snot wiped on our couches by the worker that unwrapped them. In addition there was vomit on one of our headboards! Aside from this, I called and talked to one of the managers (John

We moved our 3-bedroom home and were extremely pleased with the professionalism, courtesy and effort put in by the moving team. They made the whole process stress free, were helpful and very careful. Our daughter moved with them a couple of months earlier and were please and recommended them...I will pass on the recommendation.

In August 2020, Bird's Moving handled our local in-town move. We were impressed from the beginning with John's professional assessment of house contents and estimate. Maggie in the office contacted us to confirm the move details and provide information on what was expected from them and us under the current Covid-19 conditions. On the day of the move, the crew was not only on time, they were early!
They carefully wrapped mirrors and TVs, and also plastic wrapped larger furniture pieces to protect them. They worked quickly and efficiently but they were also friendly and enjoyed joking around with
