Homestead Moving Ltd

I wasn’t goingto write a review and just leave the experience as it was, never using this company again and definitely not recommending them to anyone. But every time someone asked me how my move went, and I explained my experience, the more it angered me at the poor level of quality this company has. I was shopping around for a moving company given my time sensitive move. The moving company I wanted to use was booked and Moving on a weekday I wasn’t able to get my own people together like I normally would. I received a few online quotes and a few telephone quotes. Homestead was one of the companies who offered to do an in home quote and was the first one available to come by. The guy came by, seemed like a nice enough person. He walked around to all the rooms, saw what we had to be moved and said it wasn’t that much stuff. He provided a quote saying he quotes on the high side so the final bill isn’t more than the quote. He went as far as to say they moved the same amount of stuff on another move the night before where they charged a lesser amount than what they quoted me. After getting another few quotes I decided to go with them based on the quote and possibility of a lesser amount and set a time on the move of the day. On the day of the move, they showed up 30 mins late. They started strong but after about an hour they started slowing. Taking longer to load the truck than they anticipated , I bought lunch to boost moral and their energy level. After about an hour, the head guy says, “you know, you can call it at anytime.” I ask him what he’s talking about and he explains “it’s taking them longer than they thought so if I wanted to stay on track they could move what they had in the truck and leave whatever still there?!?!?!?!?!” I bring up what he has quoted and he back tracks sayings quotes are never what they are. He said they never know what the move involves prior to doing it?!?! I thought that’s what the IN HOME QUOTE was for?!?! Them the excuses come out, he blames me for not packing right and him having to move a bunch of smaller boxes instead of fewer large boxes? This is with myself and another buddy helping move things to make it quicker and easier. He tells me if I pay cash he can keep the bill close to the quote but it was still more then I was quoted. In the end I paid more than I was quoted for about 80% of my things being moved. So far I’ve spent another $200+ and two days on renting an open trailer and an enclosed trailer and I have another load to do to get the rest of my things. This outfit is a joke, in my opinion. I’d never refer anyone to use their service. If this review saves 1 person the headache of hiring substandard movers, it’s served its purpose. Movers are spared to take away from the stress of a move not as to it.

Professional movers , highly recommended. James and crew did a great job .

Great experiance, every time! Quick, careful, great cost, friendly owner and staff. Give them a call and experiance this crew dir yourself.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Diligent, friendly and hard working crew. They were on time and took great care of our items. Very organized and efficient. I won't hesitate to call them next time we move. Highly recommended!

No Storage, despite company name. Moving services only. Curt phone manner; he hung up before I was finished my inquiry because I mentioned not having a storage unit might warrant a change of advertising. I could still have used a truck, but I will find another company.
