What Our Customers are Saying

I called the office with an urgent, last minute move and they came out the very next morning ready to go. They were very efficient yet very professional in handling my furniture. I would highly recommend MVM moving. 5 stars in my book!

D. Kitchen

Used them in Columbus and was very impressed with both their professionalism and work ethic. Very affordable too! They really helped to alleviate the stress of moving!

A. Metzler

MVM was awesome…the movers were really friendly and helpful, and offered us a lot of extra help outside of just the move. They were also very flexible. Highly recommended!

A. Haviland

The movers were very polite and careful with all of my belongings. I would absolutely use this company in the future.

S. Volmar

We moved from Wauseon, Ohio to Keene, New Hampshire. The move was flawless! Tony was able to accommodate our requested time and date for moving and all of our items arrived in excellent condition before being promptly placed in their appropriate rooms. They even set up our beds! Maumee Valley Movers is professional, timely, friendly and honest! There were no surprises or additional costs. We would recommend them to family and friends.

L. & C. Nelson

We needed piano movers from Hilliard to Newark. It was a baby grand piano so I knew it would be difficult. From the moment I spoke with Brian on the phone I felt he did everything he could to fit us in his schedule despite the short notice. I knew it would be expensive because it had to be moved down a short flight of stairs and the type of piano but everything was discussed up front (fees, travel time, etc). No surprises. Four movers came to my house and they did a wonderful job. No walls or floors were damaged and the guys were very friendly. I never felt uncomfortable being at the house just me and my kids. I would definitely use them again.

H. Rehs

I had an amazing experience this weekend. The movers I had were Levi, Chase and C. They were VERY professional and great customer service. They took the time to make sure everything was how I wanted it ( in the correct places in rooms). I also had a HUGE ( solid oak) entertainment stand that TWO men were able to load and unload without any hesitation. I also felt very safe with me being the only one home. EXTREMELY grateful that I chose this company! I will always use this company. Thank you!

C. Aumend

Having help from Dutch and Levi was such a blessing for our move. These guys were very careful with all of our items and put us at ease with their professionalism. They were friendly, helpful and understanding. Thanks a lot guys, we will be sure to refer your company to anyone in need of movers!

D. VanWeelden

After our last debacle of a move, we were very skeptical about hiring another moving company. But, this time it was an absolutely different outcome! Our MVM movers (Dominic, R.J., Levi, Jacob) were outstanding! They were extremely punctual, professional, polite, hard-working, considerate, careful, conscientious, and kind. Not only will we highly recommend them, we will personally seek them out with any further moves or relocations. They are the epitome of the perfect movers.

L. Paul

MVM has VERY competitive rates and excellent (efficient, competent, extremely kind and polite) service. Brian accommodated us on a holiday weekend, and worked with us on scheduling. The crew arrived on time, was fast, and took very good care of our belongings. They even helped us move a couple of items to the curb that were not going with us to the new place. RJ and Jacob were very polite, enthusiastic, and listened attentively to any requests we made. I had a great experience and will use them again.
