Outstanding experience all around. Kevin packed us over two days. Then Steve, Dorian and the crew packed the truck in 6 hours. Friendly, professional, and thoughtful. Highly recommend Bekins!

Our experience with Bekins was phenomenal. The three guys that were sent to move us where professional, funny, and extremely easy to work with. The appraiser was great to talk with, as were the office personnel that helped set up our move. I highly recommend Bekins to anyone who wants to take the stress out of a move with a fantastic company that employs knowledgeable and kind staff.

The 3 person team sent was very professional and friendly. With 2 dropoff points they worked with us to make sure things got to where they were needed. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family when they need to move! Thank you!
