Johnson Storage & Moving Co.

Update to my update-​my container was delivered yesterday and low and behold– inside one of the crates was empty liquid nail calking tubes used to make/​seal the crates– That’s funny I REALLY do not remember that being in the inventory sheet!
Slime buckets! Oops so sorry! That is just down right unprofessional!
[ Because wrapping up a paperback cook book with the metal lid to a ice bucket in paper and putting in a box is professional packing and «white glove» treatment ] now that is just perfect!

We used Johnson Storage and Moving to move locally. They sent one representative to do an estimate for our apartment, who was polite and thorough. The estimate was 12% too low, which I thought was reasonable based on other moves I’ve been through. We had everything in boxes except the furniture. They took apart our bed frame and then reassembled it. They put a few blankets over our furniture, but didn’t package anything with tape or anything. We had everything in boxes. They worked from 8:30 to 2:30 and sent 3 men with one truck. They made two trips with the truck between apartments. Nothing was broken and the movers were professional.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone moving locally.
It’s always a roll of the dice to choose a moving company without a referral but this time I lucked out and got a great moving company!
Called these guys from the yellow pages for our move from Santa Fe to Los Alamos. They were quick to get a quote and were working the Friday before Memorial Day (which apparently is a popular day for moving companies to close). Total cost of move $ 1134 for about 150 boxes (3 BR, 8500#).
So bad news first, they said they’d be there at 8am but didn’t show til 8:45 –since I was READY at 8 am, I was sitting around a fully packed house cooling my heels on a day I’d rather not. Hence the 4 instead of 5 stars ’cause otherwise I couldn’t have asked for a better team to move us. They made up the time easily so it wasn’t a big deal in the end.
They sent three guys, which was great in helping speed things up. They were efficient in detailing what would happen and how long it would take.
They were professional and carefully wrapped the items I had concerns about (in particular a teak cabinet that has sentimental value and weighs about 2,000 lbs).
They had experience moving items like pictures and advised us accordingly.
Then they managed to pack up the entire house 4.5 hours, an amazing feat! Seriously, we just did this 6 months ago and it took 2 more hours last time.
At the new house, they put together beds, cribs, tables and unpacked everything quickly. The entire time the team was cheerful and hardworking, with just two quick breaks to fuel up. It made it very easy to tip them and wish them a good long weekend, they earned it! Nice work. Johnson Moving, thanks for making a potentially stressful day as nice as it can be.
