Chris and his crew (4 men total) arrived exactly on time and began loading the truck as soon as they arrived. It was a soggy, rainy day, but they covered the floors with runners and were able to keep most of the mess contained (some was inevitable). They disassembled our larger pieces of furniture and wrapped all pieces for protection. They provided wardrobe boxes so we didn't have to pre-pack the clothes in our closets. They also were fine with us leaving clothes in our dressers, so they didn't have to be packed either (taking up valuable space in the truck).
Once the truck was being loaded, we realized we were going to be tight on space, so they stationed one of the movers in the truck to reorganize and ensure that everything would fit. It did... just.
We had to pay for the movers to wait while we got our key, but we expected this since we were closing on both houses the same day. It was unfortunate, but we planned for it.
The unloading was fairly quick and we saved a little bit of time by having them just leave a lot of boxes and furniture in the middle of the rooms. We took care of locating and reassembling items ourselves.
The quote we received was based solely on time and the size of the truck. We were billed for the exact time used and were very pleased with whole process. We would highly recommend Firemen Movers.
We found out that not all of the movers are firemen. We had one, but the others were either in training or wanting to become firemen. You can be sure these young men were trying to make a good impression. They certainly did.
