Flannery’s Handymen

Hired Todd Flannery’s to for a local move, downtown Salem Condo to Salem Storage. The experience was horrific and would not recommend this company to move anything that you value. The quote to move was estimated at $ 400 and the final charge was over $ 1000. One experience worker and one new guy to move three rooms of furniture, my cherry dining room table was scratched, one table leg had a chance of wood taken out of it, dining chairs have scratches and large gouges on the arms, Flat Screen TV was broken off it’s pedestal, missing chair cushion from one of a matching pair of living room chairs so now both have to be reupholstered, cherry entertainment center has large gouge on the top of it and the back panel is torn, iron bed has scratches all over it, armoire has deep gouges in the side of it, pine desk has the tables completely broken off, missing one parsons chair slip cover so have to replace with two new ones so they all match again, crushed pottery, glassware and tableware, ottoman was heavily soiled from grease inside the moving truck, mattress has a long cut on the underside, soiled sofa and purchased plastic covers for all the furniture including blankets to cover furniture. Todd showed up on the day the Bekins movers came to pack my belongings, stated he would bring his adjustor and showed up alone and then left. When I called to ask why he walked out he stated he was being abused, Todd is operating without license to move in the state of MA, he states he has insurance to cover damage and promotes his business as a mover and hauler including insurance. When I asked to file a claim he told me to get a lawyer. Todd is not an honorable man and is operating a moving business illegally. Beware he will overcharge you and back you in a corner using intimidation tactics to force payment. His workers are overworked and inexperienced, when these two boys were working way past 5:00p Todd never even showed up to help them. The boys never had lunch or dinner showed up two hours late and were exhausted, they took eight over eight hours to move boxes and three rooms of furniture into a moving truck. When I moved in to my condo five years earlier three movers were able to move the same amount of furniture in less than two hours so go figure. When talking with Todd on the phone he accused of being a woman who tries prey’s on small businesses to extort money to pay for my cross country move. I have photos to show how the furniture was loaded in the back of the truck (taken by my neighbor) and also photos of how the furniture was stored in storage unit. Everything was a mess and no wonder there was so much damage.
