I lived in my old place for two years partly because moving is a pain. I wasn't in the market to make any of my friends help me move a washer and dryer down from my third-floor apartment, and, having a new job, I didn't have a lot of time to move some of the larger items in my home. I chose Aardvark because they came well-recommended on City Search--and for good reason! The two movers who came were helpful and friendly. They carried a whole lot of heavy furniture down more than three flights of stairs, still taking time to have fun conversation and always willing to be flexible and go above and beyond. \r

Andre was especially helpful. He beamed to me about how happy and satisfying he found moving as a profession. You can imagine the kind of great service you're going to get from someone that excited about his job. They had me moved into my new place, which had the good fortune of being situated directly on the ground, in about a half hour. All of my stuff was perfectly in tact, and the only casualty of the move was a small mark where an especially large piece of furniture rubbed against the door. Even though it wasn't really a big deal, and was very superficial, Andre made sure to get the landlord's number and immediately called him in front of me, telling me that he'll come over and repaint the door himself if he has to. I would have to say I was really impressed with that kind of accountability.\r

There's a stereotype about movers, that your stuff isn't safe with them or that they're not totally trustworthy. That's what makes the selection of movers a tough process. With Aardvark, I didn't feel that for a minute. They more than proved to me the difference loving your job makes.
Pros: Fast, friendly, good value
