I do not recommend using Jake N Jose if you are looking for reliability. The first time we used…read morethem, they were fine (and that must have been an anomaly). The second time we used them, we set up the appointment and shortly before they were supposed to meet us, they contacted us to say they needed to reschedule--which was fine, things come up and we understood. However, the THIRD time we tried to use them, they totally ghosted us. My husband had arranged for us to meet them at an apartment we own in Ames to move some furniture for us. Due to our previous issue with them rescheduling at the last minute, he started trying to get ahold of them before we left Omaha for Ames (texting and calling)--no response. When we finally arrived in Ames, after multiple unanswered queries, the appointed time came and went and Jake nor Jose ever showed up. We ended up contacting All My Sons Moving and asked them to help us out. All My Sons Moving was GREAT--Zaylan and Rick, showed up, did what we needed them to do--they totally saved us. Had we not been able to get someone else to do the job Jake and Jose had said they would do, we would have spent 6-hours on the road back and forth from Omaha to Ames and accomplished nothing. So, two out of three times we attempted to use Jake and Jose, they did not show up. My takeaway; Jake and Jose cannot be depended on to show up when they say they are going to and good luck getting anyone to answer the phone at their "office" when they don't show up. Move on...pun intended...and find a more reliable moving company in the Ames area.

When we arrived at our destination, the movers who unloaded (also with Two Men and a Truck) stated numerous times how terrible the packing job was. All heavy furniture was placed on top of boxes and totes, completely crushing many of the boxes. We had a damaged wagon, elliptical, sitting room chair set and more. I reported this to the company immediately (while I am only including pictures of one box and one tote, there were many that looked the same). I was offered a $250 refund. I explained that the damage was not the potential fault of the moving vehicle or driver; that had the truck been loaded properly and boxes not crushed by heavy furniture, damage would have been mitigated. This office manager was unwilling to do anything further. Please note- Two Men and a Truck Urbandale does not stand behind their work and if you have damaged items, you have zero recourse. Very unsatisfied with the way this office conducts business and treats their customers.

First, the crew that moved me was nice. I hired them because they were local and had seemingly…read moregood reviews. However, they broke several big items. They broke a 6 drawer dresser (now the bottom 2 drawers are unusable because they broke part of the side that also had the back leg) , a headboard (completely snapped one of the legs off) and a 55" 4K TV (completely unusable, they cracked the screen). We have moved many times and I understand things happen, but I have never experienced the valuation process that they require. Basically asking for receipts of the item broken and how it got broken. Well, everything was fine and usable before your crew touched it and now it's not. I couldn't watch them while they moved everything and it's unrealistic to even ask that question. When things have been broken in the past with other movers, they made it right and paid to replace the items. They gave me about 30% of replacement value credited back. I still have to replace what you broke, but I'm responsible for the majority of the replacement cost. That's not good customer service. Also, if you have a Sleep Number bed, don't let them touch it. Mine still isn't right. Even though they told me that have had no issues and have moved a lot of them. Well, they don't see the issues because it's after they are gone when you notice there's a problem. I would not use this company again. I would give them .5 stars if I could.
