King of quality pack and move Profile Image

The King of Quality crews were tremendous teams during the loading of a 16' truck and four (eventually ten Uhaul) bins. The packers carefully wrapped each piece of furniture with a blanket then clear wrapped prior to loading the piece. When I asked that certain light-weight boxes with fragile items be at the top of the pile, the filled the truck and/or bins appropriately. They must be great at playing Tetris, because their packing skills were great, with not an inch of wasted space with a variety of sizes of boxes and furniture. The crews worked well together, were extremely professional, good communicators, efficient when packing a four bedroom/two bath home. I definitely would use them again, and highly recommend them.

I had a really tough job. It was a 2800 sq foot home with large furniture, a mirrored buffet, and 40-50 boxes. It was a ton of stuff. They came at 9am and packed all the boxes, wrapped all the furniture, and everything got to my new home without a scratch. These guys worked late, and were always moving. They worked very hard. The window was 8am-10am, got there at 9am and were just moving till very late. Did not break or scratch a thing, they are very professional. I would use them for my next move! 5 stars, I was very pleased. It is worth the extra few bucks if you have nice stuff!!!
