We have a local move coming up so I used Yelp to check out moving companies and pick one with great…read morereviews. Patriot Moving Systems caught my attention so I called them to get more information. I talked with Dennis to get answers to my questions. He told me they are full service, meaning they will pack as well as move your household contents. You also have the option to do your own packing. One place I called pretty much only loads and moves your stuff so you have to do your own packing. Patriot sells boxes and packing materials but also suggested Home Depot or Lowe's but said he actually prefers and recommends getting these from U-Haul as he thinks theirs are better quality and sturdier. What I like is the way Dennis explained our options without overly promoting materials through Patriot. He also explained the rates for their services. Basically it is an hourly rate per person plus a trip charge and cost of the truck usage. He came out and walked through or house and then was able to give us a rough estimate of the number of hours we would likely need. We planned to use a staging company so we needed to pack some things to thin out certain areas like closets and kitchen countertops. So we arranged for Patriot to send out three people to box and move things into the garage for three hours and that was a big help. They were focused and hard working guys who went practically non-stop for the time scheduled. Whenever there was a question about packing certain items they asked about it. I could tell that they all knew what they were doing, their experience showed and they treated our things as if they were theirs. Delicate items were wrapped well for protection. Our move is currently on hold as we continue to pursue selling our home but Dennis checks in with me periodically to see how things are going. I will update this review once we actually complete our move but we know who we trust with packing and moving our property.

In fact, I'm on Yelp right now looking up their information to hire them again and realizing I forgot to submit this well-deserved review from back in April.

Two guys showed up with a huge truck; took about 2 hours to load and drove the 60+ miles to my new home. I explained that I would have to leave before they finished, so I could drive back to Dearborn in the daylight (eyesight issues). That's when it all fell apart. I went back the next day to find plastic wrap strewn around the house, leaves all over the inside of the house, items left wrapped, a dirty bathroom and smoke smell. I contacted Fordson, and was told a slew of lies the worker told him; He said I told them not to enter the garage, FALSE. He said he couldn't find anywhere to dispose of the plastic wrap - THERE WAS A GARBAGE CAN IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO THEIR TRUCK, I was told they aren't responsible for cleaning up after the job. I told Fordson I felt taken advantage of, being alone and older, and that his employee was lying. They made no accommodation and essentially blew me off once they were paid. My Advise: WATCH THEM EVERY MINUTE and make sure a man is around. They will lie and cheat and take advantage of a single woman. BEWARE.

Tori is AMAZING. Full stop…read more My husband, 3-year-old and I had the opportunity to purchase one of my family's homes in my hometown of DC and things came about quickly and with lots of anxiety. Luckily, I found Tori and, even on the initial estimate walkthrough, she was immediately calming, and so "you-got-this!" that we really felt like we did. Once we hired Tori, she came in like a well-organized storm and got us into a groove that even felt good to a feverish sickie like me (I had a bad cold which was kicking my butt); she recommended and coordinated a phenomenal experience with a great moving company, got us packed (with the exception of the art and record collection, which we left for the movers) within 3 sessions - while entertaining and including our rambunctious 3-year-old, taught us very doable future organizing tools for the new place and was a genuine blast to be around. And when we initially thought we'd be unpacking as soon as we arrived - instead of getting renovations done first as we settled on doing - she offered to put us in touch with a DC-based organizer or to come down and help us herself. Tori is a cut above the rest in professionalism, efficiency, resourcefulness and just general goodness. For such a quick move, we had an excellent experience from start to finish, and that is entirely thanks to Tori.

Tori is truly fantastic!…read more We were feeling unhappy in our 1 bedroom apartment, and rather than inflating our lifestyle and getting a bigger place (or leaving NYC!), we decided to give Tori a try. Yes, techincally you can just dig in and declutter yourself, but when you engage Tori you get several benefits: 1) You carve out a designated time to do this activity 2) Because you're investing in it, you take it very seriouslyi 3) You're saving all the "trial and error" you'd normally get when trying to DIY, which can waste your time and money (if buying mutliple "organization solutions") 4) You get very pro advice! 5) You wouldn't be researching an organizer if you would've done it yourself! Regarding #3: Just having Tori show up and say "do this, change that, get rid of this, and implement these systems" accomplished a home transformation for us in 4 hours. If I tried to do that on my own time, it would've taken 25+ hours, or never have been done properly. I'm so grateful for the time we had with Tori, and I fell in love with our apartment all over again.

Being a single woman moving, I…read morecan say that the quick quote response via email made scheduling and estimating costs, from Paige and Courtney in the Fraser office, so simple and accurate. I've never moved on my own and the ladies were extremely patient and helpful. I wasn't sure of the exact day of my move and they were amazing at working with me to look at options and sent me detailed estimates for both a weekend move and a weekday move. My two movers showed up right on time, Dave and Zach. They were AWESOME. I was nervous knowing that complete strangers would be handling all of my personal belongings, but they were so friendly and answered all of my "first time moving" questions. They started the official start move time AFTER they looked at everything and planned how they would take it all down to the moving truck. I was moving from a second floor condo to another second floor condo; that was no problem for Dave and Zach. They took great care taking apart all of my bedroom furniture and wrapped everything to ensure nothing would be damaged. They managed to lower all of my patio furniture from my second floor balcony with ease. Some of the single lights and things that were too big for a box but too small to list as move items for the estimate, they took as well. These were items I was planning on coming back for and moving myself. Because they took EVERYTHING in the moving truck, I had very little to put in my Jeep. They even made sure to take great care of the signed Zetterberg jersey, packing it last. :) When they got to the new second floor condo, they were great at asking me where everything was to go. They did not randomly place things or just start stacking boxes everywhere. They even took the time to put felt pads on my big furniture items to protect the new wood flooring I had installed! I would give Dave and Zach 10 stars if I could. They never stopped, took zero breaks, and made the most out of every minute, keeping my cost down significantly. As soon as they were done unloading the last item in the moving truck, they announced the time so that we could note it and not pay for any time that wasn't directly involving moving. I paid for two movers who worked so productively and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I do not know these two young men, nor do I have any affiliation with this company at all. I would suggest and highly recommend the Fraser Two Men and a Truck company, especially Dave and Zach, for anyone who is looking for a moving company. I rarely take time to write out reviews, but this move wouldn't have been manageable without the service of Two Men and a Truck and I want everyone to know how awesome my experience with them was.
