Waters did a great job with my recent pack and store. They were fast, completed much earlier than I thought. My furniture is HEAVY - many pieces are solid wood and they took care to treat it and protect it. They listened to my request to keep the crystal and china (fragile items) without crushing. Looking forward to having them move it out of storage and into my new place! Great job! And convenience by offering move and storage services

Both me and my predecessor have used Waters for our office needs for years now. They have helped us rearrange furniture, remove excess trash/furniture, and conducted moves for us. They are always quick to quote, respond and execute the work. The team they send has a ton of experience, are polite and professional, and overall great and easy to work with. I'd highly recommend Waters for your commercial moving needs.

Moving is never easy, but they made it a lot easier! They started with an in-home evaluation, followed by a cost estimate (which was right on the mark). They delivered plastic bins with lids instead of cardboard boxes, and then picked them up after the move. The bins had a greater capacity and were stronger than boxes. Their estimate of bins needed was right on too. The movers were on time and worked efficiently and rapidly. Very friendly and anxious to do a good job. Nothing broken or lost. We've moved many times, but Waters did the best job, by far. What more could you ask?

I have used Waters for several moves in the past, both for my office and home. They have a very efficient system for moving so that nothing gets broken or left behind. I would definitely use them again in the future.
