Joyful Movers

Okay — so someone said last year they paid $ 85 an hour — and a year later, they are up to $ 119 an hour. First of all — a big shout out to our moving men, Greg, David and DJ — they worked really hard and got the job done. I didn’t see them rest or even take more than a minute or two break. On the downside — we did not get any wardrobes to move our clothes, so we had to go back after our move (52 miles round trip) to move our clothes in our cars (we already had the cars loaded with other things). We also were not provided mattress covers, either, though I think they did put something down in the truck bed so they wouldn’t sit on the floor. They were 40 minutes late — but it was pouring rain that morning for awhile, so it’s forgivable, and Greg called me as soon as he knew they’d be late, and communication is always a good thing. My main complaint, I guess, is that as nice as Joy is, she did not always return calls and I had to leave a couple of voicemail messages during business hours during the week — it’s a little disconcerting to not be able to reach someone during business hours. I would use them again.

When we moved to North Raleigh three years ago, we needed to use a storage location while some construction happened on our property. Joyful Movers was recommended to us by our real estate agent. In total, we probably used their services on three different occasions … sometimes moving things from location to location but also within the house/​garage — heavy stuff that we couldn’t move, Joyful Movers came over and just moved stuff around. Awesome! Would recommend to anyone looking for a local mover.

Our Joyful Movers arrived a little late, but got done so quickly that they still finished hours before we expected them to. They moved us out and in within 4 hours. Amazing! And for only $ 85/​hour. Joyful movers are a great a value.
