We hired Iowa Moving 1 to move some furniture between the inside of the house and our garage. The movers were professional, courteous and worked quickly. Some of the items were very bulky and they were very careful so as not to scratch any of the walls. The company's follow up and follow through before and after the job was very thorough. I highly recommend them and we plan to use them again.
Details: 3-5 items • Loveseat • Dining table • Side table / lounge table • Other furniture items • Within the same building • Stairs to load items • Stairs to unload items
