All 3 of them did an amazing job getting everything moved out of house to the storage and helped pack items not packed.

Thank you kindly for the excellent review. We were happy to assist with the packing and moving the boxes from the basement to the garage as you prepare your house to be sold. If you ever need our help again, please let us know. Thank you!

There were no surprises or “gotchas”. I was constantly updated as to their arrival time. They unloaded household goods/ furnishings from a moving truck into a house. They were on-time & completed the work without the need for extra time/charges. It had rained the previous day & they protected against tracking mud throughout the home as best they could. I would use them again.
Details: 3 bedroom home • Movers only • Less than 5 miles • Load via stairs • Unload via stairs

The two movers were very professional, quick to load everything but very careful not to damage walls, floors and packed items. They knew how to best load a truck. I was very impressed and will use them again. Thanks Thumbtack for a good referral and thanks Iowa Moving 1 to make my life so much easier at a reasonable price.

Thanks Janice for providing the review about our moving labor service. We specialize in loading rental trucks so we're glad that you found us and that our crew provided outstanding service. Keep in touch with any future moving labor needs such as packing, in-house furniture moving, loading/unloading rental trucks, etc.

Three polite, strapping young gentleman started at 7:30am and was finished packing our 4 bedroom house and 22 years worth of "stuff" by 1:30. Very competitively priced versus 2m&aT.
