Shelley and the crew from Gentle Giant Movers did a phenomenal job on my daughter's local move in…read moreHalifax. Over the phone and by email, Shelley handled all of my long-distance requests (I was in the States and my daughter is in Halifax) with patience, and always in a timely manner. She accommodated our need for overnight storage, and worked with our timing to get out of one place and into another. The day of the move, which happened during the NS wildfires, the company's timing got a little derailed, through no fault of their own. When that impacted my daughter's move, they proactively waived some fees as compensation, and worked with her to make sure that they could still get the move done in time. Shelley sent over an extra mover, and when we suggested doing the move right into the new place, without the overnight hold (we were able to get her into the new place earlier than expected!), Shelley rolled with the punches, and pivoted to execute the move in one day. The extra mover (which we were not charged for) and the whole crew worked quickly but carefully, and got the move done in record time. Overall, it was tremendous value for what we got, and the move was done faster than we expected! Being far away was stressful for me, but Shelley made sure that everything ran smoothly and that my daughter was taken care of. I would highly recommend Gentle Giant for your local move. We can't thank Shelley and the crew enough for the care they took with our daughter's move!

The two gentlemen who came to help, Gurjant + Harshid were so kind and funny. They were careful with all my belongings and efficient in timing; I think they only took less than 2 hours between packing, driving and unpacking the truck to my new place! I was receiving ridiculous quotes from other companies for what I required (small space) but Semgro quoted me fairly, the value for the services was incredible. I could not recommend this company more and will recommend to anyone looking for movers.

I outlined my move to Bob on the phone, told him what needed to be moved, he said no problem. Bob's adult son, Scott, was aggressive, inappropriate and called me names in my own home. He and his pal Mikey obviously have a good cop/bad cop game going on. They complained about everything. They refused to work and said they wouldn't move anything - knowing we (as is everyone on moving day) was on a tight timeline. Mikey (good cop) agreed to do some moving, but they refused to do what was promised, leaving the bulk of work to me, while they stayed inside and complained. They complained about having to move boxed items (that's why I hired them!). They complained about my furniture. They complained about my house. They asked inappropriate personal questions, making us feel very uncomfortable in our own home. Furniture was damaged, boxes broken and interior walls damaged. No care was taken whatsoever, except with their credit card machine at the end of the ordeal. I am convinced they solicited all the 5star reviews on google. Would never recommend. This company should be out of business.

After moving 4 times in the last year, I decided to hire a moving company for the sake of both my…read moresanity and my back. As I'd never hired a moving company before, I was totally paranoid that they'd be a) lazy and soaking up the hourly rate, and b) careless and break all my stuff. Needless to say I was very, very happy when Able turned out to be neither of the above. On the contrary, they were courteous, professional, careful, and very cost effective. None of my stuff was broken, it all ended up where I wanted, and the two guys that did the move were nice and straightforward. I really appreciated that they asked me if it was ok if they got a coffee on the drive over to my new place - while of course it was ok, I thought it was courteous of them to acknowledge that they're on my dime until the move was over. If I was moving from the HRM to another city, I'd probably move myself because it would be quite a lot of money due to longer travel times, but for moving within the HRM I would most definitely use Able movers again.

It was pouring rain, they did not use booties or lay down mats so my floors were a mess when they left and had to be cleaned. They had no regard for my doorways or floors and damaged both but because I signed a paper when they left, they will not pay for repairs. They also damaged my appliance. They didn't have proper tools or equipment and asked to borrow several of mine. There were screws, plastic, styrofoam and other broken bits and pieces left though my house, out my door, in my driveway, and in front of my house on the street. Do not use this company!

This is a copy and paste of a review I did for google. I would stay very clear of this moving…read morecompany. Here is my review minus the pictures. There were warning signs from the start. The mover used the lift gate, which is for heavy objects, instead of the ramp. This is inefficient and lazy to be honest. They also mixed up our stuff with another couple who, as luck would have it, were moving to the same building as us. I was able to run their stuff to their apartment after the move. I also felt compelled to ask if they needed help lifting larger objects. The movers looked like they were struggling and might drop something. (Note, I am almost 60 years old and I had moved all the items myself with the help of my family to the storage locker). My fears came true and one of the movers did drop 3 large boxes. Our apartment is in a building with a driveway that slopes upward at a fairly steep angle and angles down once past the entrance. The driver parked on the brow of the hill, the top part if you like. I drove truck for years, and anyone who does, knows that you park at the base of the hill. This shortens the distance you have to lift something. Again it comes down to unprofessionalism and laziness. I just wanted the move to be over and said nothing. We were almost finished when one of the movers dropped three large boxes. They had been stacked on top of a double file cabinet which meant that the boxes dropped from a height of 3 - 4 feet. One contained our dishes, another contained a pinwheel crystal bowl and other pieces. The reason it was dropped was because of the position of the truck. The movers were again using the lift gate instead of the ramp. When the lift platform touched the ground, the back part of the platform stopped and the front part continued down because of the slope. This caused the load to lunge forward and the mover lost control. I was in the lobby with two of the movers and we all witnessed it. They took the boxes upstairs and went through them in the presence of my wife. They assured my wife that the company would pay for the damages. This did not happen. The last communication I heard was "you packed it, you pay for it." As bad as this sounds there is still more. Somewhere during our move I misplaced some valuables. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR, I AM NOT ACCUSING ANYONE OF ANY WRONGDOING. In the process of trying to track down my valuables I got to review the security footage of our move. It made me realize just how unprofessional was this company . Firstly, they did not use the ramp which is inefficient and lazy. My son and I were helping and many times we put something on the truck, return to the locker and was back at the truck before the next mover returned. I also witnessed the largest mover bring only an end table that my youngest grandchild could carry. (picture attached) They also often took things off the truck after it had already been loaded. The employee who worked at the storage place commented on what we saw. To paraphrase, they said that they had been working in the storage industry for a long time and our movers were the worst they had ever seen. I agree! They need to find a new occupation and leave the moving of people's precious things to the professionals.

I only needed 2 guys and truck, & was only $88. plus 1 small truck fee & smaller deposit than others (was only $25 vs. $50 (had I used "Xtreme Movers" who conned me out of my $50 deposit!!) but not Hero Movers. They are hard working, honest men. I'll add that I had quite more than I had thought in boxes & bags, regardless they did a speedy, DAMAGE FREE move & it was a VERY muggy day on Friday 24th of June, but it didn't slow down either of the 2 gentlemen. I told them to take it easy/have breaks, but they were all business. I'm a very picky person as well, so you can take what I say to the bank I'm a very satisfied customer & highly recommend Hero movers to everyone!
