Was downsizing from 3 to one bedroom, so I decided to hire help highly recommended by a friend. After talking to Mike (the owner?) on the phone he sold me hiring 3 movers instead of 2 (because it was supposed to be more efficient) and it was very efficient the first 2.5 hours, once they have your stuff in the truck they forget about their job of moving. Because they are paid by the hour, it's in their interest to move you as slowly as possible and that is exactly what was done to me. It took them two days to move one bedroom apartment with a lot of moaning and shaming me how much stuff I have. At the end I had to sleep on the floor in my old apartment, my stuff was who knows where overnight. I was charged not only for labor and supplies but also overnight fee, which was artificially dragged into the all-nighter by 3 very slowwwwwwww movers. The stuff was prepackaged with each room taped on the box, when arrived, the boxes were dumped all in one area and dropped on the floor, like a garbage. The worker were mainly resting in the truck between each move and when I told Mike about it, he told me Im mistaken and they are very good workers. They all work as a team, and they will take advantage of you no matter what. I ended up paying 2.5k for icing one bedroom from Culver City to West Hollywood, with lots of stress and i'm still unpacking because it wasn't properly placed. So get ready when you hire them, they've been in business for a very long time. P.S. if you see the 5star review and the owner have only one or two, that means they are not a real reviews, make your own conclusions. Was contacted by them, and after refusing taking the "compensation" i was sent this letter on Christmas (see the images) and now they try to threaten me with the legal actions. Read More

The worker were mainly resting in the truck between each move and when I told Mike about it, he told me Im mistaken and they are very good workers. They all work as a team, and they will take advantage of you no matter what. I ended up paying 2.3k for moving one bedroom from Culver City to West Hollywood, with lots of stress and i'm still unpacking because it wasn't properly placed. So get ready when you hire them; they've been doing business for a very long time (since 1944, the attourney's letter just informed me). And no, they were not sharing the elevator with anyone, and they were aware of the 5pm cut off time on both days they were moving. They just were trying to drag it into the third day and I told them i will not pay for another day. Do not hire them!

Great Great Great Great Great guys.
I am adding 5 "GREATS" because it has to match their # of stars they deserve. I recently moved a 2bd 2bath from La to Palm Springs and they were the best, they were 1/2 hour early and helped with great tips for my move.
They even brought extra wardrobe boxes to help. Trust me, when you move you find junk, things you don't even know you had & super delicate stuff you had at the back of the closet. They always offer solutions to help you pack to help you unpack!
To tell you guys the truth and that's the deal with this review. They handled EVERY aspect of my move in under 8 hours and with kid gloves, so perfect and not a scratch on one item.
Always spring for that extra guy (I booked 3 guys and a truck) Much to my surprise, Mike the owner sent a packer in the am to help load the truck. So I had a 4 man crew which helped so much.
As for quotes, I was quoted at $2,700...$2,250....$1,790.00 for the 3 man crew with truck,drive distance & pack and Walters came in and nailed it and beat the above competitors.
They were $1504.00 all everything drive distance and flat rate. 10 STARS NOT 5!!!!!!!!! Read More
