I cannot stress how very polite, competent, and on-task these movers were the entire time! Very happy! This moving company showed up exactly on time, and stayed until the job was finished. They were very polite, courteous, and carried themselves with the utmost professionalism. They also just clearly knew what they were doing when it came to moving things safely. I had them pack a house into a storage unit, and they expertly arranged things into only HALF of my storage unit.
I was so impressed! They even MADE a box for my canvas painting, which I had trouble finding a good way to store. If you want polite and efficient movers who behave themselves, then hire movers from this company! I WILL hire them again if I get the chance :

During the recent housing crunch, my family was in urgent need for a local moving company. I called numerous moving companies and left messages. I even filled out forms online and not one company was professional enough to respond. After a week of no return calls, I found "A Friendly & Affordable Mover" within minutes of submitting some information online I got a return call and my move was scheduled! The movers were courteous and professional. My move was completed in less than 6 hours.
