We contacted two well rated moving companies on Homestars to estimate charges to move us out of our home in Pickering which we just sold. The home is a large 10 room house we have lived in for the last 9 years and a large double car garage that included some storage and gardening equipment. We were moving to the city but have not yet bought a house so we required the moving company to pack us up and move us into storage. The job included consolidating a 10x15 temporary storage unit we contracted when we staged our home. Estimates from the two companies were significantly different by a factor of almost 2 to 1 so I asked Marco, the proprietor of Accurate to review and confirm their lower offer. I was surprised when Marco offered to personally come to our house the same day, which he did, and subsequently confirmed his company's estimate. We decided to go with Accurate.
The actual move:
4 men from Accurate showed up on time on a Saturday to pack us up. It took them about two hours longer than planned, altogether about 11 hours. The men were very professional, efficient and enjoyable to be around. We were present all day and so when in doubt the packers asked us for packing direction and willingly held up on packing some items we still needed to delay. On the following Monday a crew of 5 men, some the same as before, returned in two trucks to move us out. The move out was also very efficient and well organized. The workers were professional, polite and cooperative. We had several large and heavy pieces of furniture including two stone Japanese garden lanterns we brought back from Japan and a heavy exercise machine in the basement all of which were removed without any damage to the property. Actual costs ended up about 10% higher than the estimate but still significantly lower than the competitive estimate, due to the longer packing time needed. In summary we were very impressed with Accurate Movers performance with this part of our transition. Marco and his crew lived up to and exceeded their high ratings on Homestars. I am confident that when it is time to move us into our new home Accurate will not disappoint us!
