I moved out of state and I hired Piepho Moving and Storage. I had done some of the packing, but left the majority to Piepho. They did a wonderful job with packing and with moving the furniture in to the new place and helping with unpacking. They are worth every one of the five stars that I gave them. They did a terrific job. Also I was treated like a friend not a customer. I definitely will use Piepho when ever I move again.

They moved me in the middle of a blizzard!!!
Let that sink in. They packed up my apartment in Winona, MN - I mean packed everything (clothes, dishes, furniture) in a matter of hours. Loaded the truck and got on the road. I left soon after. Halfway there - white out conditions. Not only did they deliver - safely I might add. They delivered in the delivery window and not an item was damaged.
I highly recommend them, heck, I have recommended them.

I have used Piepho Moving on three different occasions in the last 9 years. They are wonderful to work with. I have had them pack all my goods, as well, as move goods that I have pack myself (aside from large items and furniture) and I have pleasantly pleased every time. All sets of movers/packers have been on time and were very hard workers. They will make sure your goods are taken care of, packed well, and arrive in the same state the left the last location.
Additionally, the staff that I worked with to get quotes and dates were fabulous as well.
I highly recommend them for any local, senior or interstate move.

The Piepho administrative staff & the moving crew did an excellent job for my move out/storage for 9 months/move in. They were organized, careful and efficient. I had a large amount of art that was packed and it all arrived in perfect shape. Piepho was recommended to me by a family friend and I am very grateful I had this company handle my move - from start to finish! I highly recommend Piepho for any move.

Piepho Moving and Storage in Eagan, MN. took care of my move from Minnesota to Florida. They did an exceptional job! I was so pleased with Charlie and Janet at Piepho. They both kept me informed with all stages of my move. They also helped me get through my move with assurance that they would do everything possible to keep my items safe during storage in their facility. I had many boxes of family photos and Janet made sure the movers knew to take special care of them! The Eagan crew, who moved and stored my furniture for 3 weeks, wrapped every piece of furniture in moving blankets and plastic wrap. They were prompt, pleasant and efficient while moving my things from my condo to their truck. There was no damage to any furniture - and everything arrived in Florida. The driver, Mike, who drove my furniture to Florida also did a great job. I compared several moving company prices and chose this company because I felt they gave me a good and fair price - plus they have been in business a long time. I highly recommend them and would use them again.

Desiree Stokes came to our home and quoted an accurate price on moving all of our furniture and household items from Red Wing, MN to our new home in Rochester. MN. We decided to use Piepho Moving and scheduled a date for our move. They set 8 men and all the equipment needed for our move. They all arrived on time and prepared for a long day. Because of the rain on the day of our move, we were concerned if our furniture would get damaged. But they used lots of moving pads and plastic wraps to wrap all of our furniture and other items that could be damaged during the move. And, we had no damage. The work crew were very positive and helpful placing all the items where we needed them in our new home. They were a fun crew to work with for all the hours we were together. The whole crew lifted lots of heavy furniture up and down stairs, cleaned up after themselves with all the pads and plastic wraps and all with a very positive attitude.
We would recommend this company for all your moving needs.

Excellent experience with having Piepho deliver our household goods after a cross country move. Jason and his team were courteous, friendly and easy to work with. They were quick to offload 7 crates and very helpful in making sure that our inventory was accounted for. We had zero damaged or missing items. Thank you!

Piepho Moving and Storage did a wonderful job with our entire move. The pre-move estimate was thorough and transparent. The movers arrived on time and were professional and polite. They packed all items in an organized, safe, and efficient manner. Communication throughout the process was outstanding. Items and furniture arrived undamaged. The overall cost was a bit expensive but worth the money. I don’t leave reviews often, and I have had prior bad experiences with movers. But these movers are great and would use them again if I have to move again.

Last year, Piepho helped my family with an out-of-state move. I had researched a few moving companies and Piepho was the most responsive. So, I hired them. I was very nervous about this move. From the beginning of my interaction with Piepho, they kept me completely informed. The guys who moved our property were friendly, courteous and prompt. As we traveled, Piepho gave me updates on our property location and ETA. In fact, they were able to move our property into our new home ahead of schedule. Some items were received broken and some smaller items were delivered later. These were mild annoyances. All in all, Piepho did a good job for our big move.

My husband and I moved from Texas to Minnesota 35+ years ago due to relocation, we never had experience with professional moving. When we need to move from Minnesota to California to be closer to our kids, we had no idea how to move. We were So lucky to have Piepho Moving & Storage help, they made our moving stress FREE and very pleasant. I would like to take this opportunity thank Piepho Moving & Storage team, especially Fran, Marcus and Jakob. Without their extra efforts, I do not think we could move out according to our schedule. I strongly recommend anyone who needs moving company, no matter is local or long distance ( Local agent for Allied ), Piepho Moving & Storage is the one to contact. Their bid is so reasonable, their service is unbelievable. Most important, they make sure you have ' worry free ' experience. Fran is the best of the best in the moving industry. If you are lucky to meet him in person, you know what I mean.
