This is the 6th time that our family has used Unicorn moving over the last 10 years. Each time, they did excellent work and we were very pleased. Most recently, Caleb and Robert helped move our daughter to another apartment community. The weather was brutally hot, but they showed up and did the job without complaint. They were very efficient and had such positive, great attitudes. It was clear to me that they were focused on superior customer service.
They made sure that we were satisfied and finished ahead of schedule after carefully moving everything. I am quite sure that we will use them again for our future moving needs and I encourage everyone to check them out.

I had a great experience with Unicorn Moving! Our movers carried a positive attitude and were super respectful and nice throughout the move! They worked quickly and efficiently, even in the midst of the summer heat. They were very careful wrapping my furniture and walking through narrow doorways. I would use them again!

I had a great experience moving with Unicorn Moving & Storage! Ray and Caleb were professional, fast, and handled my items with care. They arrived with all of the equipment required for the job and finished faster than I had anticipated. Great value as well. I would recommend them to anyone and plan to use them again.

We just completed a move with Unicorn, and I would fully recommend them to anyone needing help moving. Kim was fantastic to work with on scheduling and was able to accommodate our request for a Sunday move. They called to confirm the day before our move and had all details ready to go. And the team of movers (Israel, Miguel, Louis, and Victor) were absolutely incredible--timely, courteous, careful, and so professional. They made what could have been a stressful day much much easier. Next time we move, we will definitely be booking Unicorn again.

I love the moving company. Very organized and good communication. They had me moved in 3 hours but the employees were very attentive and made sure that everything moved was in the right place. I really want to acknowledge the movers that were so Friendly and helpful! I highly recommend if you are going use Unicorn to request the employee Blake Center and Moseley Rick -#496. They are the best. Thank you!

There aren't enough good things to say about Unicorn. I went with them after reading all their great reviews and I am so happy I did. Miguel and Summer are incredibly kind, professional men who loaded my stuff up with care (whole house in four hours!) which allowed me to start my cross country drive a day early. They were the same crew who drove my belongings and unloaded them at the destination (super important- you always want this).
They maintained a positive, professional, upbeat attitude the entire time - which means a lot during a stressful time! And man do they have strength. They were kind to me, my pets, and my family. If I were ever to move again I'd call them in a heartbeat and request the same crew. On top of this, their pricing is extremely fair. I'd recommend this company without hesitation. The only feedback I'd have to offer is for the company to optimize its website for mobile to better reflect their amazing service. Don't wait and if you're looking for the best movers call them right away!
