I chose this company for a cross-city condo move, and I wanted one that would handle packing and delivery. The condo building needed a certificate of insurance and a specific booking for the loading dock. The office team was very helpful in confirming the information before move day, which saved me a lot of back-and-forth. The day of the move, the movers showed up with boxes, blankets, tape and wardrobe cartons.They simply grabbed clothes from the closet, and since folding everything back was quite an effort, that was the simplest way to do it. Extra padding was used to protect my framed artwork and mirror. The loading dock was filled for a brief time, but the crew made sure they worked with the concierge. They maintained their common areas in a safe condition and installed them in accordance with building regulations. At 9 pm, the truck arrived at the new condo. Boxes are being unloaded efficiently and positioned as per room labels. The one kitchen carton had been labeled "miscellaneous," which wasn't particularly good, but nothing was missing. A final check was conducted before the leave. The service was dependable and convenient when moving into a condo that required building inspections. read more

Before relocating this past time, we had "good" experiences with movers, so we had rather low expectations. Since Sunday was the only day to accommodate my husband's shifts, we chose to deal with Swain Strong Moving, and they were gracious enough to assist us. The team dominated right away. The movers, led by James, were fifteen minutes early and had everything, including boxes and wrapping. They were only a few brief instructions before beginning their task. They cleared our house in a flash. We took a car to our brand-new house, which was empty inside. They not only delivered the stuff to the room of our choice, but they also completed the task in under an hour. Nothing, not a single wall, floor, or doorframe, was scratched. We would definitely give them a call for any of our moving needs in future!! read more

What impressed me most was how flexible the movers were when plans shifted at the last minute. A delivery truck blocked our driveway that morning, but they handled it calmly and started loading from the side gate instead. They stayed organized and found small ways to save time along the way. The move ended on schedule even after the delay. It's rare to see a team stay that patient when things don't go exactly as planned. read more

From the first consultation, a plan was drawn up that worked around our schedule rather than forcing our schedule to fit one of theirs. All the updates were tied, so we could quickly and efficiently retrieve our information from the office. Computers, printers, filing cabinets and conference room furniture were carefully packed for the trip and loaded onto trucks. They clearly marked equipment and ensured that the correct equipment was delivered to each department upon receiving it. After we got to our new office, they duplicated our layout and placed each workstation in its proper spot. The organization and teamwork were really amazing throughout the project. There was no damage, no equipment was lost, and we get back to business much sooner than expected. They have been very professional throughout, from start to finish. read more

The movers understood the importance of those items and handled each box with care. Rather than just packing off the old wooden furniture, photo frames and china cabinet at a hurried pace, they did so carefully. I felt enough organized to be confident that everything was in order. They unloaded the house, room by room, asking where each piece was to be put and not assuming it was. They were still friendly and active after working for some hours. During the unpacking process, no damaged or broken items were found. They were very professional and very attentive to detail, from start to finish. read more

0/5. This company left more than $600 in unpaid insurance premiums that my agency is now responsible for covering. When hiring a moving company, reliability should extend beyond moving your belongings, it should include paying the company's own business obligations. I would not recommend this company based on my direct experience with them. read more

Moving day, the crew arrives on time and gets to work as soon as they check off everything with us. Furniture was wrapped securely, mattresses protected, and our pictures were even placed on extra padding before we were loaded. On arrival at the destination, they unpacked room by room rather than dumping everything in the garage, which made unloading much easier for us! They were so patient when furniture was asked to be relocated to other areas. All crew members throughout the day were respectful and hardworking. Everything was as expected, and the service was better than we had anticipated. I would certainly recommend this company to my friends or family. read more

I wasn't very excited about moving with two children and a nervous feline. The children and the pet were put in another room until the movers had finished their job in the house. The crew was very mindful of closing doors to prevent pollen spread and of asking for permission to enter some places. They arranged the children's beds, toys, books and school necessities in their rooms. We cared for all our kitchenware and delicate ornaments, too. Children were really excited but would keep asking where their favorite things were, so labels really helped. There was a short wait due to traffic on the way to the new house. We got an update, and we knew that the truck would be coming about when. About 11 am, the delivery began, and the beds were assembled first as requested. One toy box was accidentally put in the living room, but was promptly taken upstairs. We had the basics of the rooms set up, and the cat settled in much more quickly after that. read more

Accountability, responsibility, respect. I have attempted to reach them MANY TIMES and they have failed to respond in any way whatsoever to the complete lack of care, concern and integrity. Precious was more concerned about disrespect to my brand new neighbor than to complete my move... OH and they were so lackadaisical and slow due to hitting on every single female in view, that at 7 hours of moving a 2 bedroom 20 minutes away that the owner had to step in for an extra $45 an hour fee... I spent $1600 and my belongings are ruined, they by far the worst move I have had in 30 years. And stay away from Rio Moving too they are subcontractors to horrible companies at a cut rate and charge you 1&1/2 the price. They arrange for the lowest bid to move you. Go with 2 Men and A Truck!!!! Never again will I use this nefarious excuse for a moving company. read more

After expanding my printing shop, I needed to move our large-format printers, paper rolls, and cutting table to a bigger space. The movers came early, lifted the printers with care, and set the rolls upright so they wouldn't crease. They worked quietly and kept the pace steady. When we reached the new building, they placed each item where it belonged without me having to ask. I started printing again the same afternoon, which made the move feel worth every bit of effort. read more

We had a small warehouse transfer planned, and the movers did well overall. They took a bit longer than expected to load because a few boxes weren't labeled clearly, but they double-checked with me to make sure all things went to the right place! read more

We used Swain Strong Moving for shifting our store display stands and counters to another building. One of the racks got placed in the wrong section, but the team fixed it right away without complaint. They kept communication open and stayed polite throughout the job. A minor mix-up, but overall, it was a professional and dependable service by them. read more

I decided to move out of my old house before the rainy season started. Boxes of clothes, books, and kitchenware filled every corner. The movers took their time carrying things out, so the walls didn't get scuffed! They grouped the boxes by room, which made unpacking very simple. What a relief and helpful move by Richard and his team. read more

I had a bad experience with another moving company and decided to try this one out based on their reviews. Andrew was so patient to answer all my questions and responded quickly to change their schedule to accommodate my plan change. Steven and Tre showed up early with advance notice. They were professional, polite and super experienced. Highly recommended! read more

I paid to have a move done, which they never did. I called 20+ times, left voicemails and sent emails. They never returned my calls. Had to wait on hold for over 25 minutes to get someone on the phone only to be told they would call me back, which didn't happen. They would not provide a move date more than 24 hours in advance. I had to hire a real moving company and when I finally got a response from Alliance, which was too late, they would not issue a refund even though they did not provide a service. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

I've used a couple of moving services over the years, but these guys really went above and beyond. From the moment they rang my doorbell, I could tell they were professionals uniformed, polite, and ready to haul my heavier items without complaint. My large sectional sofa was a nightmare to fit through the front door, but they skillfully tilted it at the perfect angle. They also kept track of each labeled box so nothing got mixed up. Their rates were a bit higher than some smaller operations, but the peace of mind and time saved was absolutely worth it. read more

What might have been a logistical headache became a beautifully choreographed dance when Andew and his team entered. The team's approach and excitement on moving day put us all at rest. We had every piece of furniture, including desks, chairs, and that strange coffee machine that everyone said made the best espresso, neatly packed. The day went from being a chore to a joyous occasion because of how they kept the mood light and jokey while they worked. They did not merely drop everything and rush to the new workplace. After they connected our equipment, set up our desks, and arranged our framed trophies on the walls, we were ready to work. At day's end, it felt like we would been there for months. With the help of Swain Strong Moving, we were able to relocate and take the next big step in our shared adventure! read more

The best thing about this moving crew is their adaptability. I had some last minute schedule conflicts, so they changed the loading time by a few hours without charging any extra fees. They also didn't freak out when I realized I had forgotten to pack an entire closet. The team leader just calmly handed me extra boxes and tape. They also took apart my rickety bed frame and somehow reassembled it tighter and sturdier than before. By the end of the day, I was actually relaxed, which never happens when I move. Such a flexible and understanding team. read more

My sister and BIL moved on 10-01-2022. They were planning to hire the same moving company they had used three years prior. However, that company no-showed. After waiting 2 hours, they were scrambling to find a reputable company to help them. My mom and I were watching their 2 kids (2 and under) so they could focus on the move and mom was leaving Monday, 10-04. Time was limited to say the least. SWAIN STRONG MOVING stepped up in a major way. Not only did they bring a large moving truck, but they brought FOUR STRONG, professional, highly capable men to move them in short order. I couldn't believe it!! They loaded TWO large moving trucks and completed not one, but TWO full runs (homes were less than 5 miles apart thank goodness). One house had steep basement stairs and the new house was three stories! They moved everything carefully and with precision - without damaging anything (which in and of itself is no small feat on moving day!). They were hero's that day and I told them so at the end of the day when we brought the kiddos to their new home. Every piece of furniture and box was in the appropriate room making unpacking that evening and Sunday a breeze. Stellar service, stellar company and stellar owner and employees! We would highly recommend them!! 5 star, A++ service. read more

As a realtor, I have had the opportunity to work with and refer many moving companies. Swain Strong Moving and the way they operate are more of a relocation specialist than a simple moving company. They are #1 on my list for a reason. They are rockstars. Highly recommend! read more

Being older movers, we needed some strong helpers for some of the things around the house. Dillon and Vikktor (I hope I spelled it right) came to the house ready to work. All we had to do was point out what needed moved into a trailer and it was done. They were very professional and did not laze around. For two hours of some very heavy furniture, they did a great job! I have my grandmothers cedar hope chest and I was so worried about it getting scratched. They treated it with care! We would HIGHLY recommend this company! read more

Movers did not show up. They provided me an estimate which I signed about a week before my move. This document had my address, phone number, and time window that they would show up. I confirmed with them two days before my move to make sure everything was set and they responded affirming that everything was good. Move in day comes and I get no communication from them. I call, text, and email many times. I had to call 8 other moving companies until one said they could send people to help me move that day. About 4 hours after swain was supposed to arrive, they texted me saying that their work phone was stolen and they could not contact any customers until then. If your entire business depends on one phone, then you have many issues. I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

I was so thrilled with the integrity and credibility of Swain Strong Moving. The movers came to my home at the time that they said they would be there and handled everything gracefully and professionally. They left my house in better shape then when they started and had the appropriate equipment, truck, materials, appropriate attitude and executed the job with precision. I would recommend Swain Strong Moving to anyone who wants a professional job with a great value and a moving job done well! read more

Swain Strong Moving - Movers Near Me

This company no-called and no-showed my client this weekend in a snowstorm. We had been in constant contact with them and they even confirmed the night before. We still have not heard a word from the company 24 hours later. I do not recommend them to anyone. read more

This company and its teammates are outstanding. We had movers not show up after waiting around 2.5 hours. We called Swain Strong and they came immediately to help us. They were so helpful and professional. Wrapped all the furniture, loaded and unloaded. What an amazing group of young men. I highly highly highly recommend them. Just outstanding. read more

Swain Strong Moving is a great company committed to helping their customers load, organize, and move. We had a great experience using this company for our family's big move from Colorado to Omaha. They arrived promptly, listened to our requests, and executed our moving preferences in a timely manner. The guys also did a wonderful job fitting our 4-bedroom house into a 26 ft truck. Please, don't think twice about hiring them for your next move. Swain Strong Moving is professional, kind, and quite strong! read more

Swain Strong Moving - Our moving experience rocked! - Movers Near Me

My family has used Swain Strong multiple times during the last year. It's unusual for one family to have the need for so many moves in such a relatively short time period; we continued to call Swain because we were pleased with their communication, crews, pricing, and the way they handled our belongings. I recently scheduled them for the biggest, and most time sensitive, move yet. I've never called to confirm the day before, but this time I did. I was told everything was set and to expect my call between 9-10am. 10:05 and still no call. I called their office repeatedly and no one answered. I finally received a call back. I heard excuses, but I was told the crew would be contacting me within an hour and a half. I never heard from anyone the rest of the day. Now, I am left scrambling to find another mover during an already very tight timeline. Previously, Swain had taken the stress out of our moves. This time, they were the only reason it became stressful. I'm so disappointed and angry, most especially with their lack of communication and accountability. I highly recommend you look elsewhere when you are scheduling a move. read more

No-shows for the move I was helping my sister with yesterday. She had even confirmed with the owner, Andrew Swain, the day prior. This company has really gone downhill in the past 1.5 years. We used them to move our mom in 2022 and were pleased with them (on time, great movers - Chris and Dillon), but since then, they clearly have started double-booking and no-showing on people. My husband and I used them to do a move this year, on 3/1/24 into a rental while our house was being remodeled. They were so late in arriving, and I could not get ahold of anyone, that I ended up contacting another mover bc we had to be out of our house. But they did end up showing up, albeit super late. I had requested Chris and Dillon and was told they weren't there but that all of their movers were of that quality. I beg to differ. One mover they sent was mediocre and the other was lazy and just wanted to yap at me about strange things (even though I kept trying to get away from him), rather than work - so the poor other guy did 90% of the work. Needless to say, they will NOT be doing our move back to our house in a few weeks now that our remodel is finished. We will never use this company again. I would recommend you look elsewhere if you want someone to show up, and with good people. read more

Swain, Wes and Angelo came and kicked ass on my move today. All 3 of them hustled and moved me out of my 1 bedroom apartment and into a new one on the 3rd floor across town. They handled everything with great care like it was their own property. I'd definitely recommend Swain Strong Moving. Thanks again, guys! read more
