Move t new place

They move me in my new condo in June and i was pleased with their estimate and the fact that they guaranteed the price in writting. These people for been in business long time and it shows. They take pride in their work and you always have a contact person to turn you and no electronic jungle to deal with.
It was refreshing to have good old fashion values and customer service PLUS an effecient adn effective move team.

One bedroom apt. move

This was our second move with moveworks. The men were prompt and hardworking, the wardrobe boxes serviceable, the wrapping blankets clean and the atmosphere friendly. Everything was wrapped and taped professionally and the cost was competetive with other companies.
Only one low cost item was damaged and I expect that to be resolved shortly. I will definately use Moveworks again for our next move.

Moving

They must have a mole in the Real Estate Board because they contacted us within a day of us being listed. They sent a half length truck for our 2100 square foot fully furnished house. broke many items trying to ram the truck full, so we ended up having to fill both our cars. Moveworks does not have their own fleet and contracts out to these ragged characters with prison tattoos. The rest of them flopped down in our living room watching TV untill the additional extortion process was finished. The city of Mississauga should be ashamed allowing this business to continue to operate. Try complaining to the Ontario Consumer Protection branch, because if you check BBB, they have a large number of complaints which are ignored. The Real Estate Board has exposed itself to some real liability by disclosing personal information to this third party. I forgot to mention they also broke an antique piece of furniture and did not honour the promise to fix it. Shame on TREB and Mississauga for being complicit in this mess. The owner of the truck placed said Moveworks 'screwed' us as well as them, but obviously this is just a front. hudson movers are respectable, try them.

Moving

FOR ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERING HIRING THIS SO CALLED COMPANY --- RUN RUN FAR AND FAST! We hired these fools thinking that they are an exceptional company as they presented themselves during the estimate time. Nothing this 'owner' says is true. These men that did the move were scary, far far from trained movers, broke a big tree branch, many items and damaged our walls. They smoked on the truck, all our furniture (including our mattresses) still smell like smoke! And to have courage to ask for a tip????? MOVEWORKS ---- DOESN'T WORK! SHOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS.

Apartment move

Moveworks Inc might have been a good company "back in the day", but by now it is only a front for low-quality movers you do not want touching your belongings. I was pleased when I found out that this was a family business: son Benjamin comes by to give you the quote; mom Ann is on the phone in the office. However on the day of the move, it was a nightmare. Three guys show up in a truck that broke down -- and spilled oil all over the driveway and laneway. They started talking about tips in the first hour of work... but then stopped to talk on their cell phones, and take a smoke break. On the far end, they broke my $2000 Organic Lifestyles mattress. After all this (broken truck, hours of delay, broken mattress, ...) when it came time to pay (in cash), the movers ask for an amount over the total specified on the quote!

Damages are not covered if you hire some students off Craig's List. However a professional mover pays for insurance, and then asks for a fee per value. In this case, in addition to the $95/hour rate (you also pay this rate for the drive from Mississauga), there was a $20,000 declared value, insured at $2.50 per $100, and a $100 deductable. So one motivation for hiring professionals is to make sure you are covered, and take the gamble out of the move.

I'm writing this review two months after the move, because each time I called the office they promised to call back and send an adjuster to look at the mattress. However I've given up now -- admitting to myself I've been fooled. All I can do is write this review hoping to save you from being fooled as well! Don't do it. You can get this level of service off Craig's List, or go to another company for true professionals.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Take responsibility for damage done during the move.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Remember that most moves go well -- only when damage is done, does the true quality of a moving company show through. Do they guarantee their work?

Moving

After I sold my house I asked my real estate agent if she could recommend a mover. She recommended moveworks. We hired moveworks and we are very glad we did.

Move

Moveworks guaranteed a return of Money (both Ann and Michael) and then did not give me a refund even though I was 2 HOURS less the estimated time. The movers rushed at the end and left furniture shoved into my garage that should have been in the house. They BROKE multiple HOLES in my WALLS and and a stair railing. They didn't care. They tried to hide it. They give you "free" wardrobe boxes that are used and smelly. They used up all of MY TAPE. Broke my microwave.

Do not use them. Use ANYONE else. Move yourself. Do anything. AWFUL!!!! Worst experience EVER.

If Ann states that she is sending my refund do not believe her. She has said this when I was lucky enough for her to pick up the phone. That was since October. it is now Nov. 6th. When I actually get my refund, I will promise to update this review. Otherwise, assume she is not telling the truth AGAIN.

What could this company do to improve their services?
They could give me my refund and apologize for putting me through all this stress.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Do not use Moveworks. get real references. Not the FAKE references they gave me.

Residential move.

We moved on the first of september, we had a complicated move, it was 3 people moving from 2 places to another 2 places. One of the pick-ups was a basement apartment and both of the drop offs were walk-ups. The guys were fast, courteous and efficient. We were so impressed with how good they were and how pleasant they were on such a brutally hot day. They were dripping with sweat the whole time, it made us feel bad for them, we thought that giving them a review on here would be a way to thank them. Please hire these guys, they're very nice and very good. You will be happy with your move.

move

Five years ago Moveworks moved us from a townhouse in Mississauga to a house in Brampton. Two years ago they moved us back to a house in Mississauga. Last month they moved us for the third time.We have always been happy with the service and when we move again, guess what - we'll call them.
