Recommended by our building contractor, Hansen-Smylie helped us three times during our home remodel -- first, to empty and pack kitchen; second, to empty, pack and store the rest of the house when the remodel grew bigger in scope; and third, to return and restore the house to livability.
People: A family business, everyone is skilled, personable, careful, and (amazingly) remembered where everything went in the rooms from which stuff came! Fun to work with as well.
Packaging: careful with things fragile (or not); thorough (even packed an empty container because I hadn't tossed it yet!); used good materials; labeled clearly, especially for items we wanted marked fragile; and responsive to our scheduling needs (returned twice to pick up packing materials as we proceeded through our own unpacking schedule).
Bottom line: They charge by time and materials, but they fill the time productively and efficiently. We were very satisfied with the entire process, and enjoyed the folks a lot! read more
