"This is the WORST HOUSTON mover! I moved the blocks in downtown Houston and the move cost me twice what any move has ever cost! I used them based on their advertised "high rise moving firm" and they could not move a roach out of a matchbox! The crew could not read labeled boxes, ie master bedroom ended up in office! MOVERS CANNOT READ ENGLISH and DO NOT LISTEN TO DIRECTIONS! WHAT IS USE OF HIRING A FIRM TO MOVE IF THEY PUT CONTENTS IN WRONG ROOMS CAUSING YOU TO REMOVE THE ITEMS PAID to HAVE MOVED! USELESS BS! Directions: I had two carts full of items to be put in my auto for transportation, ie

computer, printer, plants, fragile items and I pointed this out initially with DO NOT TOUCH instructions. Hour later, the crew chief has the OFF LIMIT CARTS loading them up! My

COMPUTER W/O BOX being loaded, I was ANGRY IMMEDIATELY and the wheels fell off after that show of ignorance. They brought plastic to wrap furniture and NEVER WRAPPED ONE ITEM and messed up focal pieces really bad! I have seagrass barstools, focal point of a DT Loft, and they are not remotely brand new after a move of ten blocks! Movers lost the ONE box of cabinet items, LAUNDRY SUPPLIES WAS LOST, I let them carry for me as I carried all cabinet items myself so that clean up could be done. My $65 worth of laundry cleaning supplies ALL CAME UP MISSING. I replaced those yesterday thus the price is very fresh. I had equestrian items that also came up missing and they were the very last item moved from my loft to move truck and I never saw them again! I have two riding crops for horse riding and they are not in new location and they are costly items to replace but my riding lesson last week with w/o crops! The CS rep was great, high energy and great telephone voice but to have spent $750 moving ten blocks, have $300 worth of furniture destroyed, a riding crop, valued at $155 10 years ago, come up missing and the $70 worth of laundry supplies lost means this move cost me $1200! THIS MOVER IS THE WORST IN HOUSTON, TX! If I had a complaint like this, with pictures provided, any decent provider of such a service would discount the fees paid and refund to me the cost of my move or a portion of the wasted money spent. "

" We had a very tight time frame as my husband needed his car in Seattle for his last day of work, and needed it in Houston 9 days later for his first day at his new job. It takes about 6 to 7 days to drive to Houston, so there wasn't much wiggle room in the schedule. Trevon kept in contact with me, and also with friends in Seattle who made sure the car got loaded as we had already left for Houston (us to visit, my husband to stay). There was a small amount of confusion over the pickup time, but it was all worked out, and they were able to pick it up fairly near to my friend's house so it was convenient for them. They were able to get the car to my husband on Sunday the 10th, the day before he started his new job, and that was really a huge thing for us. Their price was in line with what other companies had quoted me. The car arrived fairly dirty, as it had traveled for 2400 miles on an open car carrier -- but we were told to expect that if we shipped it on an open carrier. Overall, it was easier than I thought."

Worst Houston Contractors of 2012

Angie's List names the Worst Houston Contractors of 2012.

Important questions to ask before hiring a moving company

Ask about hidden costs. A company should be able to provide you with a list of fees you could be charged, such as moving large items or traversing stairs. (Photo courtesy of Angie's List member Jim R. of Travelers Rest S.C.)

Dear Angie: What questions should I ask a mover?
Dear Eric: Who you hire to move your personal belongings is a big decision. As with most services, there are scams associated with rogue moving companies.

Moving? Avoid these 3 hidden fees

Moving companies can jack up prices on boxes, ropes, dollies and blankets, so make sure you know what's included before you pack up. (Photo courtesy of Two Men And A Truck of Fort Lauderdale/Boca Raton)

If you're moving, don't get stuck with hidden fees you didn't anticipate. Moving companies can hit you with fuel costs, trip charges and equipment fees for things like dollies, blankets, cords and straps.

Tips for moving out of state

One way you can make the move easier is by weeding out items you don’t need. Have a yard sale or find a local charitable organization and donate items you no longer use. (Photo courtesy of Angie's List member Charles T.)

Dear Angie: I am moving out of state from Denver to Florida and am looking for tips to make the move go easier. We plan to pack boxes ourselves to keep the costs down. What advice can you give on how to pack and how to find a good, affordable mover? – Linda M., Denver

Houston Movers Reviews

"Everything was handled professionally and all furniture and household times were carefully boxed and/or wrapped. Everything went as planned and the company did a wonderful job. The price ended up being even lower than the original estimate. I would recommend this company to anyone who is moving."

"Three movers arrived promptly, after calling to say they were on their way. All three were very cordial and professional. Quickly removed doors from hinges when necessary. Made good suggestions to streamline the process. Work was completed in approximately 1.5 hours. "

"The sales rep was extremely professional and thorough in looking over the "partial load" we needed moved. The coordinator was good about notifying me and the receiver. I didn't watch the packers, so don't know how they did, but the crating crew was very good at their job, thinking of every detail to protect the pieces. When it turned out that someone forgot to send the promised 10'-long piece of PVC to roll the fragile old rug around so it was supported, the crater cut two long pieces of wood to "splint" the rug during the trip--quick thinking and a clever idea! The load was delivered fairly quickly to its destination (unlike a partial load years ago that got lost for 6 weeks by another mover). Partial loads aren't the major concern with big moving companies, but

did a great job with ours, all along the way. Angie's List, please note: This company DOES have a license, and awards on moving company sites!"

"We had an estimate for 3 movers for 3 hours. They showed up on time and moved at a fair pace, I never thought they were wasting time. The move ended up taking 4 1/2 hours and $100-150 more than expected. They were curteous and asked where we wanted items, nothing was damaged. I just wished it wouldn't have taken so long. Although may be it was our fault, 95% of our boxes were medium size as opposed to large or wardrobe boxes. Most likely would use them again."

"Overall, the move went very smooth and I couldn't be happier. All of the movers are extremely friendly and pleasant to work with. They arrived on time and completed the job even faster than I thought. They were hard workers and worked very efficiently as a team. I would definitley use

Movers again and recommend them to anyone. I've never been happier with a moving company, I just wish I would have found them years ago!"

"They were punctual, efficient, and polite. I believe we had one or two very minor dings on something, but that's to be expected with any move. They did a great job packing up the kitchen -- not a single glass item was broken. They were also very careful with the furniture. The same crew was present for both moves, which indicates to me at least some level of low turnover. They were a breeze to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again."

"The team did a great job. I was moving from my Galleria condo to my fiance's home in NW Houston. We first had to move everything out of the condo then stop at my storage facility to pick up additional furniture. Once we arrived at my new home, everything was unloaded then furniture items and boxes belonging to my fiance were moved back to the storage facility. It was a complicated move but the crew took it in stride and made what could have been a very stressful day into one that went off without a hitch. Thank you!"

"They arrived at 7 or so and after we discussed our options on time and space and underestimation we got to work. Everything was moved that I wanted moved and put in the correct rooms and set up and wired in and everything. They went the extra mile on the refrigerators in the garage and the freezer and everything. They were great. I think we had two trucks and should have had three but we managed."
