We moved from a 1 bedroom + den condo to a semi-detached house in downtown Toronto. It was our first time hiring a moving company. We decided to go with Firemen Movers because of the reviews online and the fact that some of the proceeds go to Sick Kids. They were prompt with their email replies and the questions I had.
The 3 movers came on time, very professional and courteous. They were very efficient with their time - those boxes moved so quickly but safely! They informed us when something broke - a couple of our cheap Ikea photo frames - which we knew would happen if even one of our friends moved them. Other than that, everything was protected very well and they were very good with all our stuff. The wardrobe boxes they provided were so useful!
They came to the new house in record time even after having a short lunch break. They were very patient and moved a few furniture items around after we changed our minds about where to place them.
They complimented us on our organizational skills, we had labeled every box with which room to go into and the items inside. I think this helped the move go quickly as well.
When we paid the final bill, for a millisecond, we thought it was a bit outside our budget - it was more than the estimate - but considering I was 7 months pregnant, it was the best decision we made! It was the most smooth moving day ever and we've moved many times before with friends and family. I barely lifted a finger - besides pointing to where boxes should go.
100% recommend them to anyone!
- Approximate cost of services:
- $900.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Although we did have one email exchange the day before, I had to call the day before just to confirm the booking, even though they said they would call to confirm. Just a minor oversight.
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Label your boxes appropriately. Try to have a good idea of where to put the various boxes/furniture in your new home. We had a bit of difficulty in this area. If you have a good plan ahead of time, it will make the move very smooth.
