I worked directly with Ashley Jensen. She was very professional, and attentive to my needs! I recommend this business for any of your moving needs! I would not hesitate about having them assist with any moves I may have in the future.

Worst customer service experience in my life! Move happened in June 2021. 50 items missing from our "bingo card". It's now 8 months later and after multiple calls and many telling us "we're working on it and we'll get back to you".no resolution. John the GM, could not care less. Gas grill starter also broken in the move leaving the grill inoperable. Submitted a claim for this in August with guarantee response of "7-10 business days". February 10th we get a reply that a $10 credit will be given. Do yourself a favor and NEVER hire this company to do a move for you.

The crew that wrapped my furniture and picked up my goods - David, Jeanette, and Ian - was very professional, quick, and helpful. They worked efficiently as a team and took very good care to wrap my furniture carefully. I was very positively impressed. I've called to inquire about the status of my belongings, and Ashely in the office has been very considerate and helpful. I feel very confident entrusting my belongings to these folks.

Moving is stressful. If you choose to hire a professional moving company then you are putting your trust in complete strangers without much of an idea of who is going to show up at your home. The four people who showed up at our house to handle our move are exactly the people you hope for. Arthur, Ashley, Brittany, and Chris were incredible. They were professional, positive, and possessed a work ethic that would be exceedingly difficult to surpass. Problems that I anticipated, they handled with ease.
It was an enormous job and they made sure everything was handled to our satisfaction. I cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciated them and how lucky Allen & Coles is to have them represent the company. They did a phenomenal job.

A team of untrained party kids who were doing shots on the job, pried furniture apart, dropped things down the ramp, gashed walls, didn't wrap things or lift properly, etc descended on my house to make what should've been a 2 day move fit in to one day. Things that were supposed to go upstairs went downstairs, we found broken things, hardware was lost, and the foreman spent 15 min puking in my bathroom. Their management didn't care and in fact, their claims coordinator was one of the rudest and most unprofessional people I have ever encountered.

Allen & Coles was hands down the best moving experience that I have had to date. From the start, the communication was prompt and clear. The physical move itself was smooth and efficient (the movers were cheerful and very professional). Finally, the quote was accurate. something that you do not always get with other moving companies. There were no surprises. Overall, the move could not have gone any better. I highly recommend Allen & Coles!
