I requested a quote online, and Emmanuel, the owner, responded within several hours. He said that to move my stuff from a third fl, one bedroom apartment to a ground floor condo would take 3.5 - 4 hrs, including 1 hour of travel time. I didn't think they could get it done that quickly, and also told him I worried about my sleeper sofa, which is extremely heavy.
He responded that 3 guys would be best, and the cost would be $130 per hour, which includes the 3 guys and truck. I replied that this was fine.
The day before, Emmanuel called me to confirm that the movers would arrive at 8:30.
The day of the move, they showed up at 8:20. Moving got going quickly, with the foreman directing the other two guys, telling them what to take, how to handle it, etc.
All of my furniture was meticulously wrapped, and the sofa made it down OK (though there was a lot of grunting!).
Total time to take all of my possessions out of the 1 bedroom apt was about 1 hour 45 min. We drove to the new place, and total time to unload was about 1 hour and 15 min. Total time charged was 4 hours with the travel time, for a total of $520 (tip not included).
Two days after the move, Emmanuel called me to ask if an item found in the truck was mine. It is in a toolbox, so the movers probably thought it was theirs. I told him it was mine, and he delivered it to my doorstep within 1 hour.
These guys do a really good job, I highly recommend them for any move. I did not have any large items other than the sofa, but it appears they specialize in moving things such as pianos that may require a hoist.
The next time I move locally, I would definitely use them again.
