Report
The move of my elderly parents with Bell Moving went VERY WELL - from the estimating appointment with Joe, processing with Vicki, and follow up with Chaz. I specifically want to commend the excellent team we had on Moving Day which was Dustin's crew: Dustin, Jacob, James, Jeff, and Brandon. They arrived to the job site on time, displayed professionalism throughout the entire work day, worked amazingly hard, and were trustworthy. I would never use another moving company again that is not Bell Moving. Dustin's crew specifically made the move go smoothly. and who can ever say that about moving?

We had an exceptionally wonderful experience with Dustin's team. They were very respectful of our property as well as being very courteous and patient with us. I would highly recommend Bell Moving 's as well as Team Dustin again for a positive moving experience. Also the price was very reasonable.

The team (Billy, River, Darrin, Zae and TJ) sent to my home was professional and efficient. They made sure that boxes/furniture was place in the appropriate rooms. Paperwork was completed and double checked. Thank you for a job well done.

Billy, River, Emily and Kaylee were an excellent moving crew! They were very thorough, kind, and professional. I have moved many times over the years and they were some of the best I have ever worked with! Thanks for taking care of our belongings and making our move a little easier.

Bell Moving is the real deal, on time, their professional, the best movers I have had. Let me be very clear, this is from personal experience. I only post the truth so read below carefully. The worst movers are All My Sons and Two Men and a Truck. Both were incompetent did thousands of dollars of damage to my house and property. Several words that I think of both companies, All My Sons and Two Men and a truck are, incompentedent, crooks, lazy and careless, Unprofessional. Never let them move you. You been warned.
