I found Maple Rose through their ad on Craigslist. I was moving the contents of a one bedroom apartment within downtown Toronto, and I was comparing the cost of doing the move myself with a rented van/truck to the cost of hiring someone to do the move for me. Maple Rose was only marginally more expensive than renting a truck for the day, and they did all the heavy lifting for me...literally ;)
Chris and Darren answered all my questions on the phone, called to confirm everything the day before the move, showed up right on time, and did the job almost exactly within the amount of time they had originally quoted me on the phone. They did the job really quickly and efficiently, but somehow managed to make it seem like an enjoyable walk in the park.
I was initially hesitant to hire movers to handle everything I own. Lots of friends warned me of horror stories of moves gone wrong. Maple Rose was no horror story - I would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends and I will definitely hire them the next time I am moving.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $180.00
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you can. Get a quote in writing prior to the move.
