OUR TESTIMONIALS

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

★★★★★ Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The movers arrived on time and explained everything in detail. Both Brendan and Ashton were friendly and professional.

I would rate over 5 stars if I could. Very highly recommend for all your moving needs.Leland WoodworthLeland Woodworth ★★★★★ Great movers. Hard working and courteous.

We felt informed right from the start, with them going over the plan and touring the house. They took great care with all of our things, wrapping our furniture so well we had trouble recognizing what was what during the unpacking! All the guys (Alex, Jesse, Austin, Zay, Brendan, and Silva) were hard-working and respectful, but I’d like to recognize Austin. He made a point to formally introduce himself to me, which I really appreciated, and his awesome work ethic was obvious all day.Don’t hesitate to hire Port City Movers. Moving day is always hard, but they made it much less stressful, for which I’m so grateful!Donna ClarkDonna Clark ★★★★★ Brendan & Gerald did an excellent job.

We hope they can come back in a few months to unload!Peter FranzesePeter Franzese ★★★★★ We had a great experience with a local move. We had 3 movers: Johnny, Zach, and Jawayne. All 3 were polite, efficient, courteous, and very mindful of protecting everything they moved from any damage. They prepped the home and the floors throughout which I appreciated. We had some pretty heavy items and they handled these without any issues. We won't hesitate to use them again in the future.Stephanie LStephanie L ★★★★★ Port City Movers did a fantastic job in helping me with my recent move. I had lived in my home for over 45 years and was very apprehensive about moving. Zach, Josh, Johnny, Alex and Jake were very professional and efficient, plus they went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. They took care of everything from expensive heirlooms to heavy bulky furniture. It is very unusual to find a company and employees who take such good care of their customers. This was truly a stress free experience and I would recommend Port City Movers to anyone. (They had the best rates, also.)Ken LoweryKen Lowery ★★★★★ Port City did an amazing job on our move from Huntersville to Denver. There were 6 movers and every single one of them was professional, hard working constantly, and friendly. The day went like clockwork and they were finished ahead of schedule. The price was very good and they took great care of our belongings. We would recommend them highly.Cathy HansenCathy Hansen ★★★★★ I highly recommend Port City Movers. They were efficient, professional, and reasonably priced. They actually moved me twice. They moved my entire household into their storage unit while I was waiting for my new home to be built. Five months later they moved everything out of storage to my new home. Everything was in perfect shape and both moves went beautifully. If you think that’s just standard business practices for moving companies think again. I used a different moving company a few years ago to move me across the state and they damaged a lot of my furniture and paid me over $3000.00 in damages. Do yourself a favor and choose Port City Movers. They are the best in the business.Margaret NicholsMargaret Nichols ★★★★★ Very helpful and kind team helping my family move our home ! Thank you Garrett, Tyrce, & Gerald. We appreciate you guys !Kayla TranKayla Tran ★★★★★ These are the best movers that I've ever used. I moved to NC from KY a couple of years ago and used Port City Movers and was extremely impressed with how great they were. They put blankets over my doors so they wouldn't get damaged, they put runners down so they wouldn't get my floors dirty, and they even did things like taped blankets over my railings and put cardboard against certain turning points on my walls, just to ensure nothing would get damaged. I have moved many times and have always used movers, but have never seen movers be that mindful and conscientious. I am in the process of moving back to KY now and used Port City Movers again for my move back. Again, they did an excellent job. They are quick, mindful, respectful, they are great with communicating and asking questions, and they work very efficiently. I love that they didn't waste any time at all and I never felt like I was wasting money in terms of time. They are quick. Brendan and Angel were the two movers from my move out - - phenomenal. I would highly recommend Port City Movers to anyone and if I ever find myself needing to move to NC again, Port City is who I will call.Cameron NoeCameron Noe ★★★★★ Jordan and Justin were punctual, polite and efficient . They were quick and careful with all of our belongings. Will highly recommend PCM to family and friendsZachary MeierZachary Meier ★★★★★ Frank, Jesse, & Justin did an excellent job with protecting my home and belongings. Frank made sure my beds were reassembled properly; which I greatly appreciate. They were prompt and communicated well during the entire move. All three movers were professional and friendly. I’d recommend Port City to a friend or family member.T. Lael SimmonsT. Lael Simmons ★★★★★ Loved the process. Michael M, James & Jordan were amazing on both jobs. First on the move in , then on the move to storage. Always punctual and friendly and beyond helpful. I’ve used them a few times and the process is always great! I’ve never used a moving company from the office to the workers that are thoughtful and like their job. That is a testament to the owners. Great job guys and I will see you again in a year when I find my new home!!!ToniAnne MurrayToniAnne Murray ★★★★★ Amazing experience the best moving company I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Jeremy Jack Austen and Angel were courteous professional and worked their butts off to complete the job on time. I moved here from Long Island last year and I had a horrible experience but everyone associated with Port City were fantastic. I would and have recommended this company to anyone and everyoneNick LiveraniNick Liverani ★★★★★ Port City Movers did a fantastic job with our move! Jordan, Ashton, X and Davante took great care of our belongings and were very professional and quick! Would highly recommend!Nicole JensenNicole Jensen ★★★★★ We highly recommend this moving company. They were the best from start to finish! Quick response on my initial inquiry and super professional. Very reasonable quote and the guys who helped us move were the BEST! Very friendly, helpful and professional.Kimberly CroweKimberly Crowe ★★★★★ Port City Movers saved me! I had a very short time frame to move and the movers I called canceled on me last minute. Travis managed to work me in and saved the day.I had many hurdles to overcome on this move and Port City worked with me too get it done! I cannot recommend them enough. I also rented a cube from them. I was in a mess with the move from my old house to the new house where the HOA did not allow cubes or overnight moving trucks. The stress was ridiculous trying to close on 2 houses same day as well as get everything delivered and unloaded. Port City made it happen!! Even the movers were great. I have had horrible experiences with movers destroying property in the past it was a great relief to see the care that was taken with my furniture. I highly recommend Port City.JulieJulie ★★★★★ Would highly recommend Port City Movers! This past week has been a blur as we moved our family into our new home, but it truly would have been IMPOSSIBLE without this incredible local moving company. We had a huge heat wave and it didn’t faze this team! They were timely, efficient, professional and beyond respectful. At one point, one of the gentleman started wrapping a table and I said “You don’t have to wrap it, I don’t care if it gets scratched” and he responded with “No worries, I care.”There were no shortcuts taken, but rather they went above and beyond to ensure every belonging arrived with care and placed not only in the new home, but in the room it belonged in. 10/10 we would recommend entrusting Port City Movers for any residential or commercial move— local or long distance! They made our move so much more enjoyable!Samantha RohrSamantha Rohr ★★★★★ Port City has been perfect for us during our life transition. From helping us load, move and store they were always professional. consider using them on your next move!Amanda Van ScoyAmanda Van Scoy ★★★★★ Port City is a great company and has a great team of leaders who do a fantastic job! Not only have we worked with these guys as a customer of ours for the past 5 years, they have moved myself and three others whom I recommended. Port City did a great job on every move and was also the best price! I will always send my friends and family to Port City for all their moving needs!Joseph GallaherJoseph Gallaher ★★★★★ They were able to accommodate our schedule change and took great care moving our items. Very friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Will be using Port City Movers for our future moving needs!Rachel JeffriesRachel Jeffries ★★★★★ Amazing!! Port City was professional, caring, efficient, courteous, and well-versed in how to handle my move. Antiques were handled with kit-gloves, my furniture was in tact and there were no dings! Everything was well wrapped and carefully handled. I would recommend them for any move.Ben CorleyBen Corley ★★★★★ We had 1 team, led by Zack, load their truck in Florida, then Zack drove the truck up to North Carolina. The next day, another team, led by Zack, unloaded the truck. All went as planned and no damage. The workers were efficient, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Port City Movers.Bonnie SearlesBonnie Searles ★★★★★ Samuel Thomson was my initial contact representative when I called Port City Movers. He was professional and thoroughly answered my many questions with specificity, providing clear information regarding the estimated cost and scheduling. He worked with us to adjust our dates based on the closing of our new home. I would be happy to work with Samuel if needed in the future and highly recommend him as a representative for Pirt City Movers.We used Port City Movers to move from our Louisiana storage unit to our new home in NC. Not only was their bid lower than a competitor but they used a dedicated truck and driver just for us AND they worked with our specific scheduling needs for loading in LA and unloading in NC. We would 100% use them again and absolutely recommend them as reputable movers who kept their word regarding cost and schedule. What I had anticipated as being a stressful moving process simply wasn’t- it could not have gone more smoothly!Joyce FieldsJoyce Fields ★★★★★ Story was fantastic to work with - quick to respond and honest quote givenI liked everything. They were very communicative from the initial quote through the moving day. They were on time -the three men that showed up worked consistently from the beginning to the end. Even came in a bit under my quote-I would highly recommend. Elizabethelizabeth nelsonelizabeth nelson ★★★★★ Amazing company and service from start to finish!! Top notch communication. Highly recommend!!!Karissa NormanKarissa Norman ★★★★★ We are so grateful to Port City for helping us move our nonprofit Bridge of Hearts to our new location. Kim and Travis did a great job of helping us determine what we'd need. And Brendan, Garret, Alex H, and Ashton provided first class service.

We were beyond happy with the outcome.Linda MorrisLinda Morris ★★★★★ Sam is great! Answered all my questions, was quick to respond and executed our order without a hitch. Highly recommend Sam and his team!Great communication, fair pricing, excellent customer service. We rented a storage cube (which was new and clean) with ease. From ordering, to drop off to pick up. Will use again. Highly recommend.Renee GiordanoRenee Giordano ★★★★★ This was my first time using Port City Movers. They were wonderful! They showed up on time, were courteous, respectful, worked efficiently and treated my things like their own. Professional all the way! No question I’d use them again.Linda RuckerLinda Rucker ★★★★★ First of all, the service is great here. Travis and his team got me a quote and everything I required in record time. Hopefully I won’t be moving in the near future but I would recommend to anyone needing moving, storage & packing solutions!N. Cherie CopelandN. Cherie Copeland ★★★★★ Jordan, Garret and Angel did a great job unloading and setting up furniture. They were careful and courteous.Kevin HatleyKevin Hatley ★★★★★ We had many experiences with different movers but Port City movers in Greenville SC is one that stands out. David Farmer helped tremendously in our move from SC to GA. His detailed inventory resulted in a fair and binding estimate, previous movers would not even do an on site inventory then come up with a low ball estimate only to change the price when everything was already underway.He advised crating for more delicate and expensive pieces and this was reassuring. The team led by Billy packed all the furniture and added boxing when it all became overwhelming.The team of movers expertly and carefully loaded and unloaded the three trucks and was communicative with any adjustments that became necessary along the way.My wife and I are quite impressed with the Greenville team of Port City movers and would wholeheartedly recommend them!!!Kim GKim G ★★★★★ Very professional, on time, and worked to get the job done as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend to others considering moving. My crew included: Alex W., Gerald, Devante, and Frank White. Will use them again for my next move.Stephen ScottStephen Scott ★★★★★ Had a wonderful experience with Port City Movers!! From the initial quote with Sam to the excellent work by the moving crew. Suzanne, Frank, Austin and Yush were so hospitable and took great care the whole day! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to move within the NC area.Lindsay ByrnesLindsay Byrnes ★★★★★ Very respectful workers and get the job done! Definitely recommendJptoosmoveJptoosmove ★★★★★ I had to move across town. Everyone in the process was professional and helpful. The process was seamless from start to finish.Sam helped get a quote for me promptly. It only took a few minutes of my time.The day of the move was so smooth.

A big shout out to Jeremy, Javi, Zack, Alex W, Alex H, Eric C, and Ashton!! Great crew!DeannaDeanna ★★★★★ We chose Port City Movers because of the many positive reviews on Google. From the initial estimate, which was straightforward and honest, to the completion of the move, the entire experience was stress free and totally positive.The crew of 5 movers was totally professional and personable.They arrived right on schedule, did a walk thru to determine their plan, prepped the house with protective coverings. They wrapped each and every piece of furniture as if it was moving cross country rather than locally. These guys wasted no time, which was appreciated since we were charged an hourly rate for this local move (they actually came in under estimate, saving us $$$) They were respectful of our home and our possessions.At the new location they were equally as diligent.I would like to express our thanks to the entire team, Javi, Eric C.,Austen E., Ashton, and Jeremy.
