Move (s)

I moved not once by twice in 2010. Both times my move was handled by Emerald Moving. They really are terrific. In every way. Emerald was easy to book. They gave very good advice prior to the move(s). They were not the cheapest but they proved to be excellent. I was happy to pay their fees and I was glad I had contracted with them for both of my moves. I would not hesitate to recommend Emerald to my friends.

moving

Moved from large family home and Emerald did it over 2 days which made it less hysterical and possible.

They were not the cheapest for estimates but included everything - and so the price was the real price. No surprises. The other movers could not have accomplished the move in the time nor price they estimated.

The 3 guys - including Irish owner of Emerald - were careful and courteous.
They wrapped the furniture and carefully loaded the van. The move involved unloading into 3 areas (same location, house, garage and basement)and this did not pose a problem for the, They loaded and unloaded the truck accordingly and were easy to get along with.
They know their stuff and worked really hard and efficiently.

Local Residential Move

Dave and his partner were professional, courteous, full of entertaining anecdotes and really know what they're doing when it comes to moving. They had absoulutely no trouble with my oversized couches and treated every item, big or small, like it was their own. The Superintendent even commented on how efficient they were and was pleasantly surprised that they didn't leave any debris in the loading area. They made certain that I was satisfied before they declared the move complete. I would definitely recommend Emerald Moving for a stress-free moving experience.

Moving from 1700 sq ft to 4000 sq. ft home

We hired Emerald after calling the top 3 moving companies on Homestars then referencing them with the BBB. Emerald was the best. Dave answered my many questions and emails and my husband and I actually LIKED the fact that they would not remove light fixtures or move our piano - and that they recommended getting professionals to do that. They were clear on what they did and did not do. On the day of the move, they were extremely professional. They do not outsource to anyone, but only use their guys which have a lot of experience and are respectful of your belongings. After hearing nightmare stories of our friends having their stuff "held hostage" by moving companies, we decided to do our research on who would be best. We're glad we found the right company. Thanks for making our moving day such a stressless one!

Moving from 2 bedroom apartment

I was extremely stressed out by my mother's illness and other "stuff" happening in my life, and lucked out when I found Emerald....no muss, no fuss, total expertise/integrity. The bill was established up front, with no hidden extras. Lots of TLC shown to my belongings and thought given
to the safest, and still time efficient, moving strategies. Dave even packed up for me, at a very reasonable cost, a service which should be currently available. (He doesn't pack the most fragile pieces, such as figurines, but he gave me extremely detailed instructions, demonstrated how, and supplied all packing materials at low cost.)
Dave takes a lot of pride in his work and works quickly and carefully with his assistant,
Mike. Dave is a "professional" in the best sense of the word. He treated my move as though it was
the most important event on the planet that day. He handled everything with calm efficiency and managed to minimize my own huge anxiety. Not everything I have was easy to move but Dave
relishes a challenge and his long time experience really shows. I'd use Emerald again in a heartbeat.

Condo Move

Who knew hiring movers could be an enjoyable experience! Can't say enough good things about my move. Dave & Mike were fantastic. From showing up on time, taking such good care of all of my items and their great sense of humour. I really wasn't sure what to expect given all of the moving horror stories friends and co-workers had shared - well that was not the case with Emerald Moving. I would definately recommend them and will call them again for my next move.

move 1 Bedroom condo into house

Well guys, here's another 10 for you! We are very happy with the job done by Emerald Moving. It was my first time hiring movers since until now I didn't own that much stuff so I did all my moves myself. I don't think I'll be able to write anything new that hasn't already been said by other reviewers. Just to confirm that they really know what they are doing and that made our moving experience a good one, and dare I say it, it was fun! Great attitude and great sense of humour. I actually ended up getting a lot of insight into the moving industry -- they were cheerful to answer any and all questions I had. Thanks Dave and Mike for moving us. I'll definitely go with Emerald Movers again.

Moving

Emerald Moving did an excellent job moving my possessions from downtown T.O. up to Forest Hill. They were careful, fast, efficient and had excellent attention to detail. Very professional with a great sense of humour. I had no worries during my move from beginning to end. Will definately use them again and recommend them highly.

Move of 2-bedroom apartment

Emerald Moving

We had a very good experience with Emerald Moving -- they are careful and
quick and reliable. We cannot praise them too highly! Their business
model makes so much more sense than that of most moving companies. They
charge a flat rate and are clear up front about what is included -- so
decisions by the people whose belongings are to be moved can be based on
convenience and are independent of cost. When one is deciding what is too
fragile to be packed for movers and should be carried over by hand -- it
is liberating for COST to NOT be a factor!

As I said, they were very careful and everything was thoroughly wrapped so
there was no damage to the furniture nor to the building. They were also
maximally efficient in use of the one elevator that is in operation.
Since the workers are paid by the JOB instead of by the HOUR, they were
quick and efficient -- which is what the customer WANTS!

This move was complicated by factors such as that we were downsizing from
a very large storage locker to a smaller one and deciding what to bring to
the new apartment and what to get rid of -- and that many others were
moving out of a rental building that had failed to respond to the recent
fee crash and was hence not competitive. The latter fact was of
significance because many things we THOUGHT we had given away a year ago
were suddenly arriving back at our door because the recipients chose to view them
as loans! THAT complicated matters.

In the midst of what COULD have been chaos, Emerald was a BEACON of reason
and stability! Its owner trained as an engineer, and as an engineer
myself I recognized and appreciated the APPROACH!

big move in downtown Toronto on a Friday

I hired Emerald movers to handle a move for me from one location in Toronto to another, in the busiest part of downtown, on a Friday. The movers arrived on time, got to work right away and did not waste any tme. They were incredibly efficient, as well as being really friendly and easy-going, which certainly went a long way to easing the stress of the move. I would absolutely, unequivocally recommend this company without hesitation to anyone I know. They were absolutely unbelievable, staying until the late hours of the evening to make sure that all of my furntiure had been assembled and was placed where I wanted it in the apartment. They went far and above the call of duty, and I will most definitely be calling them for my next move. Highly, highly, highly recommended.
