The Gardiners moved me 300 miles away. Across the State of Florida. They were respectful, professional, on time, and on budget. I'd recommend ONLY Gardners & Sons Moving. Most excellent and honest and NO BREAKAGE. I had a home full of antiques, china, mirrors, glass, and very heavy fine furniture. They were the most hard working with great attention to detail. They understood the details of handling Fine Furniture, Antique Rugs, and a massive amount of very heavy boxes. I really really appreciated them doing exactly what I hired them for. They never stopped till everything was right. It was a very stressful time and they were all such a great team. I don't want to move ever again. But if I did have to I'd ONLY CALL the best. Oh did I say I love these guys! Gardiner & Sons Moving & Storage (941) 423-5311 (SWFL) 1-866-668-3352 (USA) FLA. REG. Mover #: IM2038 US DOT #: 1645107(edited) read more

A non response of Only moving pianos, did NOT aide with MY very specific request of piano Cleaning & Tuning. I was VERY Clear, I was seeking Piano Cleaning & Tuning, not MOVING a Piano Cleaning & Tuning a Piano is NOT moving a Piano. Given the response that I received- I won't use This company for any Future Move. read more

Arrived on time, packed lamps, shades and other requested items. Worked steadily loading. Disappointed they weren't more attentive to checking they had loaded everything before departure. Fortunately, we noticed those items before they departed. Unloaded very quickly, sadly they stacked heaviest boxes on top of lighter ones, especially since we are older seniors when space would allow that the boxes didn't need to be stacked. I was unaware ahead of time, they wouldn't be unwrapping items they packed including electric fire place and 55" TV which needed to be set up on fireplace like it was in former home. Left it wrapped, sitting on floor leaning against fireplace. There was no way we could lift it into place. read more

Our entire family wholeheartedly recommends Gardiner & Sons Moving after our long-distance move from Southwest, Florida to Massachusetts last week! When I was researching the different moving companies available for my move, I read multiple consumer reports, and selected 7 from the Better Business Bureau listing that I wanted to screen. I ended up with wildly different quotes on the estimated weight and price. It was a lot of work but I'm glad I did. I chose Gardiner and Sons because I wanted to support a local business, my weight estimate and Kenny Sr.'s estimate were similar, their rate was reasonable, and I liked their straightforward, no-hassle business style. Never having worked with them before, though, it was still a bit of a gamble. I re-read the reviews, which were uniformly positive, and my gut told me that they were written by authentic customers. I decided to proceed. Moving Day in FL went smoothly. Kenny Jr., Trevor, and the rest of the crew were really pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. They were careful with all of our belongings and used lots of pads on the furniture. They made a stressful day less stressful by their friendly, easy-going attitudes. After they left, they went to the weigh station, calculated the final cost, and called me so that I would have the correct figure for the Cashier's Check when they arrived. Kenny Sr. notified me three days prior to our delivery with an ETA. As I was preparing my payment, I asked for clarification of the before and after-loading weights for my peace of mind. Gardiner and Son's didn't balk at all. They were completely forthright and provided me with all of the documentation I needed about the weights from the weigh station. I was completely at-ease that the figures were correct. Moving Day in MA went equally smoothly. Kenny Jr. apprised me of his progress in the morning with an ETA. He checked in again, periodically, before arriving on time at our home. He and his partner were so pleasant and friendly to work with. They worked steadily unloading over the next several hours. Despite the heat and humidity, the stopped only once for a 10-minute water break. They were extremely accommodating and wanted to be sure that every item they brought in went precisely where we wanted it to go. One family member said, "It was a very pleasant experience from beginning to end." Another said, "They are super nice," and a third said, "I'd definitely recommend them." We have one minor issue that we need to resolve. One of the feet on the couch is bent and will need to be repaired. The bolt is actually bent. My guess is that it slipped out of someone's hands and that end was dropped. Our items were moved out of a huge tractor-trailer and into a smaller truck, while en route, so the couch was handled twice. It was the last item brought in so we didn't notice it right away. It wasn't until later when we tried to sit on it that we knew something was wrong. When we signed the delivery papers, we asked what we should do about any damages we find and Kenny Jr. said, "just file a claim." I am confident this will be handled with the same professionalism that they have exhibited all along. We highly recommend Gardiner and Sons Moving and will be sure to share our positive experience with friends and neighbors in Southwest Florida. We hope this review helps other people who might be anxious about finding a good mover. It is an important decision and requires a lot of trust. Our family has found Gardiner and Sons to be an excellent choice that is worthy of your trust. read more

I had previously written a review and for some reason it was deleted. This company is great and reasonably priced. They are truly family owned unlike some others that claim to be. They were professional, timely and reasonably priced. They care about their clients. They even sent me a Christmas card in the mail. I'll be using them again real soon! read more

Gardiner & Sons Moving & Storage - Large truck for my move :) - Movers Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

We moved a 3 bedroom condo from Punta Gorda to North Port. After contacting several local companies we chose Gardiner & Sons. They arrived on time with four people as promised. It took 8 hours to load, due in part to a slow elevator at the condo, and in part due to a young team that didn't always work as fast or efficiently as we would have liked. We did call to talk to the owner, who sent help to unload. The job was done in just over the 10 hours estimated thanks to a crew of 7 unloading. They were VERY careful wrapping and packing our stuff, and nothing was broken or scratched, which we very much appreciated! I would use them again even though they were slow to load. It's a small family-owned business, and it's worth it to keep our dollars in town. read more

Moved us from Cape Coral to Wesley Chapel Florida. Kenny gave me a great estimate and Kenny Jr., Keith & Joey did most of the move. They were very professional and meticulous in wrapping and packing the truck. I would highly recommend them for any move. Curt Marshall - formerly of Cape Coral read more

These people are AMAZING. I was so stressed out about life situations on top of moving and was very disorganized. Well, they organized my chaos and were so so so so kind and nice to me (top priority in my book), they were professional, calm, fast and efficient. Trevor was always asking and making sure everything was where it needed to be, is there anything else they can do for me. They are very caring and professional people. They do not dilly dally either which makes them extremely cost conscious of their rate. They are more than fair with their price, I would say EXCELLENT!!! If you need a mover, let Gardiner & Sons be your first choice and you will not regret it. As I said above, they are amazing. I can't say enough good things about them! read more

I needed a mover for a very small move. I called about 6 movers and Gardiner was the only one to return my call. He scheduled our move and did not even ask for a deposit. On the day of the move, his men showed in a timely manner, early in fact, and they were friendly and professional. I would recommend Gardiner for any move, large or small. read more

I recently made a move with Gardiner & Sons and can't say enough good things. Kenny was extremely helpful and easy to work with leading up to the move and the day of. The guys doing the actual moving, which included Kenny, were great and treated my things as I would have, with respect. I've used other movers before but didn't have the quality that Gardiner & Sons provided. Thank you Kenny and crew for a terrific move experience! read more

Best movers ever! Prompt, affordable, and super nice! Will recommend to anyone. Thanks for making my move easy.

I used Gardiner & Sons last November to move to Palm Island/Don Pedro Island. The island is accessed only by ferry. Moving furniture purchased from 4 different stores, some being shipped from West Virginia, was somewhat challenging. Gardiner & Sons were great -- promptly returning my calls, taking the initiative to managing ferry logistics, efficient, and polite. On one occasion when the furniture transport truck from WV refused to deliver to our storage unit, within an hour of my desperate call, Gardiner & Sons arranged for the truck to deliver to their location and accepted delivery. read more

Kenny did such a nice job for me about 18 months ago moving items from Sarasota to Fort Lauderdale that when I needed to make a move again I called him first. His honesty and helpfulness are A+. read more

This company is great! These guys really care about providing you with a good service. They completed our move under their estimated time and under their estimated cost. The guys that did the physical labor where prompt, courteous and worked at a fast pace. Thank you Gardiner and Sons for making my moms' move as smooth as it possibly could have been. If you're in need of movers, do yourself a favor and call these guys before you call one of the large companies. When you call Gardiner you get the company owner on the phone each time instead of a different receptionist each time. read more

This is the third time we have had Gardiner & Sons move us. Each time has been a great experience at a fair price. The crew always arrives on time and are very careful in packing, loading, unloading and unpacking our belongings. They work fast but never rush or are careless. They also are very polite and sincere in dealing with us and between themselves. Thank you for making our moves easy and great experiences. read more
