“The only company I would ever trust with a Military family move. Thank you so much for ensuring all the certified weights were completed. The guys were amazing. I’m so grateful Mike spent all that time estimating everything and getting us so many boxes and packaging material. Could not have hoped for a better move.”
– Sara M. in Ashburn, VA
“Bryce, Nick, Jack, even the owner of the company are absolutely AMAZING to work with – so accommodating, flexible, and responsive. We felt so very well taken care of throughout the moving process. They gave us a quote which ended up being super close to what we ultimately paid, no hidden fees or surprise charges, they even gave us a load of free boxes so that we could get a jump start on packing (which we wanted to do). The movers were efficient, didn’t break a single item, everything arrived at our new house, and they re-assembled furniture such as a complicated elliptical and office desk with ease. If we ever move again, I would absolutely call upon American again!”
