Sloane Moving Storage

Sloane is the best! We used them for our 2000 move, our 2003 move and yesterday for our 2016 move. We have also relied on Sloane for help moving heavy furniture about the house, and for loading & unloading our storage unit. We do not compare prices, we simply call Sloane. We do prepare for the move. Everything is packed and labelled, the work area is clean, etc. We figure we are paying for heavy lifting, not a high-​end packing company. We find the guys working for Sloane are hardworking, decent people. We have never had anything broken, lost or damaged.

Sloane has been around forever and they do their job well. I used them for a move last Winter and it was pretty straightforward and to the point. They showed up on time, did great work, no hassles, people were nice, took great care of everything they moved and finished the job pretty quick. Highly recommended, can’t go wrong with these guys.

Setting up with Sloane went easily. Needing a mover I signed right up. This phone call marked the end of any ease to the process.
The day of the move, they showed up early and got started. As I stood next to my car, packing up odds and ends, I noticed that one of the movers dropped a piece of furniture and the leg on that piece of furniture cracked in half. Other than that, though, the furniture got packed up quickly and safely. I did consider that movers aren’t perfect, so while the leg cracked on one piece I was happy everything else arrived fine. But then things just went downhill. After packing up and prior to leaving for the new apartment they asked me for directions – an odd question considering I had given them the address, but I tried my best to explain the rather confusing directions. Then they left. As someone was already waiting for them, I new that I needn’t rush and left about ten minutes after them. Surprisingly, I arrived at the new apartment twenty minutes before them!
When I finally saw their truck pull into the apartment complex I rushed to the apartment and began getting ready. And then… nothing! Still no Sloane! I went back outside and here they had started unloading at the wrong building! I could not understand it, since they claimed to know the complex so well and I had stressed the fact that they should go to my specific building. So they had to pack up the truck again and drive to my building and unpack again. No apology though, instead they acted like I somehow mislead them!
Anyway, they unpacked and now came the bill. The one mover hands me a handwritten bill which includes billing for the time spent lost in the drive over (or whatever took them so long), as well as the time in which they unloaded at the wrong building, and also a generous roundup to the next hour with regard to travel time (travel time from Sloane to starting point and then from end point back to Sloane). I stood there, stunned. I had to pay for their mistakes? I wrote the check and he left. I did call to complain and got refunded a small amount, which I appreciated.
I would shop around before settling on Sloane. Again, easy to set up and book, but if their movers keep up like this it truly will not be worth it.

This is the 3^rd time I’ve used Sloane in the past 10 years, and once again, fantastic — prompt, courteous, careful and finished in less time than the estimate. Thanks!

Very pleased with the move with Sloane!
I was calling around for a few quotes, and these guys were very prompt in their response, and ended up being the best option for the money.
On moving day they showed up on time and immediately got to work! I was really impressed with the whole experience — they worked really hard and moved all of my furniture quickly and without a scratch.
They finished unloading in good time and within the amount of time I had budgeted. Can’t say enough about what a great job the movers did.
I would recommend them without hesitation!

My family used Sloane for a local move this past weekend. I can’t comment on the price because we were overwhelmed by the process of selling one house and buying another, so we didn’t shop around. Our experience, though, on moving day was very positive. The crew of four guys was friendly and hardworking. Most of them had worked for the company for more than 10 years and were very skilled. Items that we had struggled to get into the house were no problem for them on the way out. I was pleased that the guys had good communication skills, which is actually unusual in contractors; they made sure they understood what I wanted and they did it! I really feel that the $ 1000 I paid them was money well spent.
I should mention that my wife and I packed our own boxes. The last time we used movers (a different company) my employer was paying for it and we had the movers do the packing. That was kind of a bad experience, but now I believe that if you really care about something, you should pack it yourself.

We had a great experience with Sloane moving. Our crew, Tyrone, Chris, & Mike were extremely efficient, professional, and resourceful. They took meticulous care our things. We would highly recommend them. By the way it was close to 100 degrees the day they moved us!

I’ve moved lots of times in last 5 years and always used professional movers for the moves, but this was the worst experience by FAR.
They showed up 30+mins late every day; the truck driver would disappear for hours each day of a 3 day move, would get huffy if you called him on it; several furniture pieces damaged and NO return calls from their owner Pat; and they need some serious unpacking training. Their unpacking was a time consuming disaster to undo. Definitely use others and NOT these guys. Use Hopkins and Sons, Mambo Movers, Superior Moving and Storage. Use any of them and DO NOT use Sloane unless you want an argumentative staff that spends a lot of time chatting, disappears while you’re paying them, and doesn’t get the job done right. And, the owner never calls to address the issues.

I have to say that I was very happy with my move. Initially I was going to rent a truck and have 2 friends move my stuff since I have a bad back. I was supposed to move on a sunday and on thursday decided that I would contact a mover and make this easier on everyone. I spoke with one company and had liked them, but my dad had suggested to call sloane since he used them a few years ago, and even though there were some issues with his move, I didnt have much to move, just a bedroom and kitchen stuff/​boxes. I called sloane, and they were able to fit me in, saturday morning and their price was $ 135 less then the other place I called. I agreed and im so glad I did. The 2 guys were on time, if not a little early. Between the 2 of them they had my place done in no time. They got to my new place very timely and had that unpacked very quickly as well. I would recommend them again, no questions asked.

We chose Sloane over Lenora’s based on reviews we read on the Internet… and we’re glad we did! Sloane sent us two guys (and I regret that I don’t remember their names, though I think maybe Paul and Mark?) who did a fantastic job moving our loft apartment furniture over 2 hours away to Washington, DC. They came, they conquered, and they were even good-​spirited and fun throughout the whole thing. Sloane was well worth the extra hundred or so over Lenora’s… and our move even ended up being less than the estimate.
I would whole-​heartedly recommend Sloane to everyone. Oh, they even called to alert us that they accidentally left a suitcase of ours on their truck. They held it at the office until we came to pick it up. It was very nice of them!
