Firemen Movers

We moved from Scarborough to Pickering on Nov. 19, 2012. After researching several companies, we opted to go with Firemen Movers due to their great reviews and we were not disappointed. Our 4 man team consisted of Andrew (crew chief), Chris, Harry and Moses. They first met my husband at a storage facity where we had several items. After packing those onto the truck, they arrived at our 3 story townhome and loaded all our furniture and approximately 50 large moving boxes into the truck. These guys are STRONG and have incredible endurance, continually running up and down approximately 35 stairs each trip. We had a few tricky items: the box spring from our queen sized mattress, our sofa and our loveseat were too large to go through the front door. They crew moved each of these items out the double sliding glass door off the kitchen and onto the balcony. They then divided into 2 groups...one group on the ground outside beneath the balcony and one group on the balcony. They secured each item with ropes and were able to slowly and safely lower them over the balcony railing and onto the ground. We were impressed! Altogether, our move took approximately 9 hours (including the wait time for the key to our new home). Throughout this time, the crew was extremely polite, professional and industrious. They unloaded each of our items and placed them in the appropriate rooms at the new house. They said it helped that I put color coded labels on the outside of each box, ie, all boxes with Blue labels go into the kitchen. all with Red labels into the living room, etc.) I figured this would save time and thus, money! The only reason I am giving them a 9 rather than a 10 is that while carrying boxes down the stairwell at the old residence, someone accidentally nicked the wall and it left a mark approximately 8" long. We tried to clean it, but it wouldn't come off. In the end, we figured the new owners would probably paint and cover the mark up anyway. All of our belongings made it through the move in excellent condition; nothing was broken. We were so pleased with these young men that we gave them each a $10 tip at the end of the night. They deserved it. We would not hesitate to use this company again and would strongly recommend them.
