George Moving & Storage

We hired George Moving & Storage for a cross-state move out of Pittsburgh, approximately 8 hour drive away. If I were writing this review based on the pickup, it would be 5 stars. There were 4 efficient movers who quickly were able to disassemble furniture and efficiently pack the truck, taking almost no time at all to move a 3 bedroom house. However, the delivery was suboptimal in many ways. Note for future customers that while they give you a range of when to expect your items, ours took the maximum amount of time promised.

When they arrived, they were severely understaffed in terms of movers to help unload the truck (really only 2 movers and functionally 1 efficient mover in terms of the total items moved). I understand the need for the large tractor trailer to efficiently make as many moves across state as much as possible, but our items were less than 1/3 of the truck and the enormous tractor trailer inconvenienced our neighbors for an extended period of time because they ultimately didn't have enough movers to get the truck unloaded quickly. It was not a lot of items to move for a 3 bedroom place, so the fact that I was hustling myself to get the items moved out of the truck so that they could free up space for our neighbors was inconvenient and frustrating, and could have been avoided with more movers. I felt they could have been more forthcoming about how many movers we could have expected at the arrival destination. Also a few of our items were damaged in the move (resulting from fallen boxes and other cosmetic damage). We felt they could've packed things better into the larger truck. Overall, the arrival felt like a much less professional operation relative to the pickup, so the company might be better for an intra-Pittsburgh move as that's where the company is based out of and have more resources.

Great movers. We're on time and got it all done as promised.

So far, we are very happy with George Moving & Storage. The communication and service before our move has exceeded my expectations, and the crew who came to move our furniture into storage was very professional, conscientious and careful. Our furniture is now in storage for about 6 weeks.

Very cordial and friendly crew. I would recommend this crew to anyone.

Excellent movers. Very happy with the crew. They were kind, fast moving, and went out of their way to make sure everything was how we wanted it. They also never complained about the three flights of steps they had to cover. We would use again.

As a side note, one of their crew members told us he was on the Autism spectrum and I was blown away by how his crew mates championed him.
