This was the second time my wife and I used Blankenship Movers and we had another great experience. I worked with Sean in getting everything set up and he was very prompt and detail oriented in his communication. Our crew consisted of Martin, Oscar, and Brian and they were fantastic. They were professional, hard working, and friendly and handled all of our items with care. I would definitely recommend Blankenship Movers and we will use them again if and when we decide to move.

This week is the 3rd family move in 3 years with Blankenship Movers. Sean and his team have provided outstanding service and value with each move. Sean is flexible with arrangements and readily supports us with any request we challenge him with. Our most recent move was for my In-Laws with a multi stop move. Sean's team leader Pablo along with his co-workers Adam and Josh met and exceeded our expectations for professionalism, courtesy, work ethic and desire to help us with any request we made of them.

By far the best moving experience I have ever had. The movers were respectful with my items, efficient, and honest about their pricing (no surprises!). I will be using them again for my upcoming move in June!

My fiance and I used Blankenship to move from the city to the suburbs. I have used them previously and they continue to exceed expectations! Pablo and his team were very professional and respectful. They were quick and efficient but ensured all of our items were safely transferred to our new house without damage. They ended up saving us around $400 from our original quote because of how efficient they worked! I highly recommend Blankenship!

I will definitely recommend this company. Sean knows the business, understands the customers needs and he provided me just what I needed. The price was very good. The moving team showed up on time and completed the work within the quoted budget. The team was polite and professional. You cannot go wrong Blankenship Movers.

We have used Blankenship movers twice now and couldn't be happier with the company. They exceeded every expectation we had and the guys are GREAT! You want a reliable and affordable moving company this is it! You won't regret your decision!
