Benny, Nicole and Angelina were our packers and movers. Very courteous and professional and a joy to deal with. It was like having friends to help you move. They would be highly recommended by me.

Highly recommend. This was my first time ever to use a professional moving company. I try many, but I found this one! I knew that I will definitely use them. From my first email requesting for a quote to a survey video call. From the wonderful and professional Crew loading up the truck to loading off. There was not a second I was worried about anything. To whoever who want to move stress-free, Thomas Transfert & Storage Co is the best way to go. I would give them 10 !

The pick up portion of my move has been great. The driver, Jose, showed up early each day and the local crew was on time and worked hard each day. So far no complaints.

Alyssa was awesome explaining and including me in the entire move in process! I was impressed with the hard work of all the employees including Alyssa, Jake, Bryan, Chris, Ron, and Cauy! Each person was respectful of my belongings and was extremely careful with my walls and flooring when they brought everything into the house. They each went out of their way to ask where each belonging went. Their positive attitude was appreciated on a stressful day! I highly recommend this crew! Thank you!
