Robert, Max, and Dewayne were a great crew. They arrived on time, and they hustled. We mostly used…read morethem for furniture and a few smaller items, and the cold didn't deter them. Minneapolis moving services are some of the most expensive anywhere I've experienced. I hope that simply means that MN companies pay their labor well. We paid $1365 + $180 tip (optional, but come on) for a 3-man crew at $260/hr (2-hour minimum), and we obviously also provided snacks and drinks (they declined breakfast). For comparison, in San Francisco it was $250/hr for 5 men. The rate was with both the weekday discount and winter pricing. Weekend would have been $285/hr for 3 men, and $345 for 4 men. There was no trip fee. Robert, in particular was incredible; he moved a 6 drawer dresser down a tight stairwell alone. They needed to remove the front door at one point, but did so without issue. They also were happy to use our own furniture pads and plastic wrap (leftover from a cross-country move). At one point, they had to back the huge truck through the alley on icy ground, and had no problems. Also, it was easy to provide them inventory by email, and easy to reach them by phone. Lots of moving companies were annoying to contact, which is partly why we chose this one. One a few minor issues: one piece of furniture was shedding pieces of wood. I think they were reinforcements put on by previous owners. I didn't even know they were there, and it doesn't seem to have affected the furniture. They also forgot a couple of items in the yard, including a big smoker we had to move on our own. It's partly my fault, I told them we were good to go. Also, we were made to sign a lot of paperwork, and at various points it was for things like "you confirm that nothing is broken and everything has arrived" and, like, it's weeks later and I'm still unpacking, there is no way I would have known for sure. It's fine, because so far we have had no issues, but if someone did have issues it might feel like being strong-armed via contract. The guys in the truck were just doing their jobs, so it's the process that is problematic more than anything. We would use these guys again!

Both times, I was on the verge of an anxiety attack (I hate moving!). Both times, I was not as organized as I wanted to be, and needed some help with packing some piles into boxes (I do not know how to pack, I always make the boxes too heavy). Both times, they worked hard and got everything done fast, and were super polite and cooperative with my requests. They made the day go so smoothly, and I am beyond grateful. As much as I hate moving, I'm sure I'll be moving again, and I will definitely rely on this business when that day comes.

They brought three guys instead of four and only had 2 solid workers.the other one didn't pull his weight. They worked from 9am to 11pm. I appreciate that they stuck around so long and we're willing to come back the next day and help. I would have given them 3 stars for working such a long day but they broke a cardinal moving rule - THEY TOOK OFF WITH SOME OF OUR STUFF WITHOUT TELLING US! They could have easily asked us if it was ok if they left some of our stuff in their truck and they'd drop it off the next day bc it was so late. Instead they didn't say anything and we thought they'd stolen or lost our bikes, TVs and other easily sellable stuff. We only found out they still had it when we reached out the next day to figure what happened to our stuff. Would not recommend them or hire them again.

I just had their help again today moving me into my new home! I worked with Chris, the owner, directly. He was easy to communicate with over the phone and quoted me a great price! He was also there with the moving team and did a great job of directing the work flow. You know it is so stressful to watch other people move your precious belongings and I never felt uncomfortable. They asked me where I wanted everything and even had me open boxes I wasn't sure of so they ended up in the right place. They moved my one bedroom home's worth of stuff in 3.5 hours!

I'm elderly and only have income from social security and had counted on using a credit card for the move!

Don't use them. A pick up truck and 2 guys from the nursing home could be faster. I was so disappointed. 11.5 hrs instead of 3 and a half. I extensively itemized all my property as instructed as well. Should have been no issues. I wont post pictures of the day because I dont think it's fair to show them not being efficient.

I've used them about 8yrs ago just to load and it well. Therefore, I thought this round would be…read morejust as pleasant. Sadly, it could have been better. Pros: -1 My slot was originally at 8:30a, but with days notice I needed to start earlier, and they were able to move it up to 8am. 2- Each individual I spoke to on the phone when setting up the appointment seemed patient, was helpful, and never came off pushy like movers can (at times). 3- The 3 guys sent were overall respectful. The lead seemed to have his stuff together and knew what he was doing, the other two (who he said were newer) weren't as efficient, but again respectful. Cons: 1- Service was from 8a-11a for the equivalent of a studio. 2- They came 15mins late, the commute between the two locations should have been 15mins but ended up being 30 because they had to stop for gas. Unfortunately when they arrived a garbage truck was now blocking the loading dock so that added another 10mins, and another 5-10mins was lost because toward the end of the job I went to my car and when I returned the lead mover was just standing outside the unit because "the door was locked", which it wasn't. He just didn't use his muscle to push open. So in all, over 45mins of wasted time, which costed me. 3- When I questioned their timing, I was told it's because I had a lot of boxes. To be fair, I did, but they were mainly smaller boxes (like for shipping). If anything i think they dragged their feet to milk the time which is very unscrupulous. 4- Their failure to used a door stopper in the beginning resulted in the unit door being scratched, which one guy tried to convince me was there before . FALSE! Anyway, the damage was shared with CMM, but there was never follow-up. Ultimately, maintenance repainted it. 5- Despite boxes being labeled for the rooms they belonged in, they paid little attention. For example those for kitchen in bedroom. 6- I ended up having to help move the dresser since it wasn't placed where I requested. By the time it was realized 2/3 of guys were at the truck and lead asked if I could help. Since I was paying for the service I would have rather not, but it was easier than having to do it alone later. Perhaps I should send them an invoice. 7- Before they took off, I wanted to just to take a peak at the back of the truck to ensure nothing was left behind. The reception to that request was odd. I mean whats the big deal?! Ultimately I went and ensured. 8- In all the delays costed me and I paid about $300-$400 more than anticipated. Funny thing is the lead kept stressing the whole gratuity thing at the end. I gave them each $20 and the look I got seemed like it wasn't enough. It instantly left me wishing I had given ZERO. My last thing which is more of a suggestion, CMM should consider investing in tees or some branded merch for their staff. Having guys show up in sneaker, crocs, and street clothes really didn't provide a professional look which yes, is possible for movers.

I hired Rashad & his team earlier this month to move a marble table. I had received quotes from…read morebigger name companies who wanted to charge twice what The Muscle Movers charged (because they have to code it as a piano since it's a single heavy/large item??) The bigger companies also cautioned that a marble tabletop is both fragile & extremely heavy, so they couldn't be responsible if it was broken in transit. Luckily I found Rashad instead! He accepted the job on very short notice, showed up on-time, had plenty of space in his truck & got the table professionally wrapped & loaded up in no time. He even transported the chairs for me without an added fee. On top of everything he was extremely cautious with my item, courteous & friendly. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, highly recommend!
