    Update to Joel's response regarding excessive damage and my "dramatic" review: I can understand one or two scratches on the walls because hey, sh*t happens. But two broken walls and three additional LARGE scratches, plus a broken picture frame? I will call that excessive considering I moved into a brand new apartment, and me being the first resident in this unit. To say that the four out of five pictures were "scuffs that are easy to brush off", is clearly not true. There are two clearly broken areas in the walls: 1. Living room, 2. Bedroom behind bed frame. One scuff was easy to come off, and the others clearly need paint. Trust me, we tried to clean all these "scuffs" and was unsuccessful. Plus, we shouldn't even have to get that far with having to clean my walls. So once again, yes, excessive damage for one move. I appreciate that refund, but your men did try to pull the "big discount" for reimbursing me for a damaged wall that I saw your men do and had I to say something before being told they would speak to you. My post clearly indicated that the 5% discount for paying cash was applied, but I had to bring up that detail SEVERAL times. I did accept the additional reimbursement, I never said I did not. Being seven months pregnant in a middle of a pandemic, I rather not have additional people in my house. But hey, I'll let the good people of Yelp look at the pictures and make their own decisions regarding who they hire. I'm just here to give my honest review. ------------------------------------------------ Recently hired Around the House Movers for a Tuesday move within the same complex. J was the person I was initially in contact with when getting availability and quotes, and she seemed very nice. Although this company wasn't the cheapest, I decided to hire them based on all the positive reviews. Let's talk about the good and bad regarding service on the DAY OF: The good: - Very accommodating when I moved my move date to 3 days earlier. - The three men (Gio, Stanley, and I forgot the third person's name) arrived almost on time. They knocked on my door at 20 minutes past 9am because they had the wrong phone number. But glad they took the time to find a way to get into the building. - All three men moved very quickly. - Wrapping of furniture was on point. No (new) damages to big furniture. -All three men were nice. The Bad: - Several scratches on walls ranging from hallway, to both bedrooms. - One of the men damaged the wall to the point where it broke the (small) area. Found another area in the bedroom just as damaged. I'm guessing that they pushed the bed frame in too far that it broke the wall. I was offered $50 off total price for damages. - Quote I was given over the phone was different that what the men charged per hour at the end of move. I should I had gotten numbers in writing, lesson learned. -I was told over the phone that if I paid cash, a 5% discount would be applied. They tried to pull the "well, you're getting a bigger discount with the $50 off"!! Umm no, you're offering me $50 for damaging my walls. In the end, they honored the additional 5% off for paying in cash. Aftermath: The next day, as I was unpacking boxes in my sons room, I noticed quite a bit of scratches on the walls. I immediately sent a picture to J, who forwarded it to her boss. I shortly received a call from the main boss Joel, and asked me to send pictures of the damages. He then offered to send out someone to paint the walls. My husband decided that it would be better if we took care of the walls, and Joel offered a reimbursement. I accepted. Overall, what started out as a positive experience, turned into frustration 6 hours later. While they did a great job loading, the unloading was subpar because of the excessive damages. I've used several moving companies, and this is the first time any company has caused so much damage in my new home. I don't plan to use Around the House movers for my next move, which will occur in 13 months.

    Packing so carefully in their truck-they were just fantastic!

    Around the House Movers were AMAZING! I can't even begin to say enough nice things about them. They were recommended to me by another moving company when PODS couldn't deliver to my location last minute. (Don't ever use PODS). Around the House totally saved my move! I called them on a Wednesday and they were able to rally and show up to move me on Friday morning to move me across country from Burbank, CA to Atlanta, GA! I spoke with Jaye and Joel and both were so kind during this stressful time. They worked with me on the price and the movers were so professional, kind, organized, and so fast! Fernando led the moving team of 4 people and boy, were they fantastic! Fernando also was part of the unloading process into my Atlanta storage unit. He and his team were incredibly patient and kind when my Atlanta storage unit had given me the wrong entry code for the gate. They didn't make me or my family feel bad about anything and again, they were efficient and organized and took such care of my items. They used Saran Wrap to protect everything and were so careful. If you are looking for a professional, organized, efficient moving company that treats you like family, do not hesitate to use Around the House. I have recommended them to everyone I know!

    5 stars for SOS Moving Services! Gilbert and his team did an amazing job with our move. They were…read moreprofessional, friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They worked quickly while still taking great care with everything, and the whole move was completed in a timely and organized manner. Gilbert and his team really helped make what can normally be a stressful experience feel much easier and smoother. We really appreciated all their hard work and would definitely recommend SOS Moving Services to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and helpful moving team. Thank you, Gilbert and crew!

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! By far the worst moving…read moreexperience of my life. This company was subcontracted by American van lines to fulfil our contract with AVL. To make a very long story short, we were verbally promised delivery within 7-10 days, latest was July 10th, of the pick up date. That did not happen. They even blew past the 20 day delivery window in the contract. Our delivery did not show up until July 27th. All the while we were receiving harassing texts demanding the rest of the payment or else they would turn around. And when the truck did finally arrive, only the driver was present to unload it. We paid for loading and unloading services and were basically left on own with the driver to unload. I have a physical disability and was unable to help, so my partner bore the burden of five grueling hours of unloading a 26 foot moving truck with the driver. We contacted the company after an hour or two passes and still no other movers arrived and were told that, in fact, they WERE there! They even argued with us saying that the movers confirmed they would be there in 45 minutes, 2 hours ago. And yet. No movers. Also the driver used a slur in front of my partner and I about a group of people that I belong to. Absolutely disgusting.
