We used Go Truck Go after a recommendation from a friend. The two guys who turned up were prompt and had some quality banter making it an enjoyable process overall. The move did take longer than I had hoped but given the amount of stuff we had it wasn't a huge surprise. All of the delicate items were well wrapped and handled with care. I'd be happy to use them again and recommend them.
We recently purchased a new apartment. Given it was only 3 years old I was on the fence about getting it painted, but in the end figured it would be worth it. Especially as some of the walls were quite damaged already. We agreed to get everything done barring the ceiling. The original paint was explained as being a low quality primer, intended for most people to paint over once they move in. We took the upgrade to one of the harder wearing paints which given the overall cost was negligible, at the same time we opted to get the cupboards interiors done as well as all of the running boards etc. We were also told they'd use a specific bathroom paint too. I loved that they were able to quote based on the email and dimensions they had, Joseph came out and walked the property with us once we had access, suggesting colours etc and finalising the quote. We hadn't moved into the apartment at the time of painting so I never met the team that came out, but the place was left super clean and tidy and the job itself was excellently done. Finally Jenifer came out to do a final inspection with us. There was one area that hadn't been done to the same standard as the others. We knew prior to starting the project this would be the case as a very heavy sliding door hadn't been repaired and had to be painted around. Considering this the job was still well done, and Jenifer mentioned should we get it fixed and it is possible to reach the area properly they will be happy to come out and touch it up. All in all the place looks fantastic and despite the cost being much higher than I originally thought it would be (note, I had multiple quotes and they all fell in a narrow band, I just thought it would cost about half of what it ended up being!!), we really feel like it was money well spent and would recommend and use ProRise again in the future.

I had a new washing machine delivered and in the process of installing it found the original plumbing for it was a home handy job. With this being a condo installation I wanted the job done properly. The job was completed quickly and well and he installed the washing machine in the process. The guy they sent round was also polite, and managed to keep mess to a minimum as well. But was it ever expensive. $220 for a length of flexible plastic tube and an end cap. When they arrive they have a big book from which they can quote prices from, but nothing really fitted the criteria of the job I needed done. I had already paid for Sears to install the machine, I simply needed the plumbing upgraded. I was charged for a job that involved steel braided cables (which had come with the machine I had bought) and the installation. I challenged the cost so the guy rang his supervisor (supposedly?) and in the end quoted an even higher price. He ended up going with the lower price for me but I felt horrifically ripped off at the end of it all. If I didn't have the work done by them I was still liable for the call out fee which off of the top of my head is about $50 (if they end up doing the work this is waived in favour for the agreed on cost prior to them starting the work; so there is some peace of mind that you won't incur additional costs once they start... hopefully)
I confess I did not deal first hand with Chris on the day, but my wife was there. He had finished a job early and phoned ahead to see if it was okay to come earlier which was great. The bad news was our washing machine was fried and we need a new. What was really great was despite having been at ours for half an hour and having given us some advice about the fridge he only charged for the call out fee, waving his $20 per 15 minute charge. From all accounts he was pleasant and competent and we'll use him again in the future.
We moved from a small studio apartment to a one bedroom property, Best Choice were recommended by a friend. Overall they were fast and efficient, a couple of pieces of furniture (both chest of drawers) were slightly damaged because of the way they were moved. It was the hottest day of the year and we were glad to have hired them to help with the move. Both of the guys they sent were helpful and polite, and despite the damage which was only minor, I'd be happy to use them again
