Report
Bart and his crew moved a structure for us, 19x44 up a steep hill, around a turn, and into the site with no damage to the building despite the many obstacles that were in place. They set the building up high enough that we were able to actually put in basement walls without bumping our heads on the beams. When we were ready to set it down on block, they came back out and set it down without us having to knock out the block we had placed in front of the beams not knowing we weren't supposed to place. Very easy to work with on the project when we needed to make adjustments to the time frame on moving. Would recommend this company.

Report
This company has a great website, one of the most professional I've seen in this business of house moving. Unfortunately their follow up doesn't match their website. They ask you to first fill our an RFQ, upload pictures, etc. so they can give you a quote. I did all of this and left several messages to follow up, never got a call back. I tried calling one more time and spoke to someone who explained "we don't go up to Michigan anymore, there are too many people up there".
I explained that their website clearly shows they service all of Michigan and that I had filled out their RFQ as requested. He was unconcerned, not really interested in the fact that they wasted my time filling out forms they were never going to respond to.
