Armbruster Moving & Storage

I was shocked how accurate Gus Armbruster's estimate was for my move! They make it easy because one can pay with a credit card without any extra fee, & their hourly crew rate was quite reasonable compared to the other quotes I obtained! The guys moved my belongings out of storage & into my house in almost exactly the time that Gus predicted! Cole, who works in the office, was extremely helpful & communicative, which I very much appreciated! He coordinated my move & made sure there were notes for the dispatcher that would help the crew & make my move a seamless success! Cole even called me a few days afterwards to make sure I was satisfied, & to take a verbal report of my experience. That's an excellent sign of a great company! My 3-man Crew: Driver, Zaid was absolutely fantastic! He was careful, attentive, thorough, upbeat, positive, professional, efficient & so friendly! Moses had such a great attitude & did a beautiful job! Mason was accommodating, & cooperative.... Plus, these guys were super-strong! They were patiently willing to rearrange a few things at the end of my move, & I was really grateful that they made it so tolerable/ less stressful for me! They even put down floor coverings to protect my newly refinished hardwood floors! I haven't found anything that the fellows damaged as they moved me in. The only possible complaint I could have was that some boxes labeled "Basement" were left upstairs, & some boxes for the bedrooms were left in the basement, so the guys didn't always read the labels before placing them. I had to shuffle several boxes around, but in the whole scheme of things, that was no big deal. Also, there were boxes stacked WITHOUT the content label being visible so I don't have a chance to read what's in those bottom boxes without unstacking them & turning them around. (I was searching to unpack only certain things right after the move.) Again, not that bad. I will definitely use Armbruster on the next phase of my move as I will need to unload my other 2 storage units & fit everything else I own into my home! I'm looking forward to having the same crew that day, as well! Keep up the great work, People! And please make sure that Cole, Zade, Moses, & Mason get the recognition they deserve!🤓

Great group of movers came to help us move boxes and large items John (I think?), Evan, and Moses were efficient, careful with our things and communicative. When the timing of the move changed slightly they called and kept us updated. They finished the move faster than anticipated. Would hire this company again.

Great Move! Very nice guys! Very careful, very thorough. It was raining and i was moving to the 3rd floor of a condo building. They handled everything like champs! Plastic wrapped everything to protect from the rain and even put down cardboard and blankets to protect the floors. Kept communicating with me so i knew exactly where they were with everything. Very pleased. Thank you!

Terrible company. Nothing but issues from the packers to the delivery. Boxes labeled wrong and what is labeled has nothing to do with what is in the box. They make you feel rushed. Not able to keep a time frame for the delivery. They showed up 4 hours late and almost midnight on a Saturday night. Box’s that were supposed to go to warehouse was delivered and things that were supposed to be delivered went to warehouse. Damaged items and missing items and they take NO responsibility for it whatsoever. They blame us. We will be going to Mayflower Corporate to let them know they have a partnership with a company like this. Which of course at the end of the day will not make any difference. Never use them

Timely and professional, as well as friendly. My furniture came well protected and they were able to navigate the narrow entryway many Cleveland homes have quickly.

This was a great moving experience! Gus was great and professional in explaining the process. The crew assigned was focused and determined to make sure we had a smooth and efficient moving experience. They were all friendly and understanding.

I would like to thank you and your company for the assistance in helping us move our father's possessions from his home this past week. The men that assisted us were very polite, courteous and of course, strong! Each one of them worked very hard and was so kind to both my sister and I. We appreciate their professionalism and kindness on a day that was very upsetting for both of us. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the service that was provided. I also appreciate your helping my sister coordinate the first move that was cancelled and then being so accommodating in setting up this second move. Thank you, Gus. I truly appreciate your efforts. In the future, I would not hesitate in the least to recommend your company. I wish you all the best.

Top notched!! From Sue setting up times and always keeping us up to date on our split move was always willing to go the extra mile! Zaid and Zach did outstanding job on pick up and delivery! All were so pleasant, friendly, great to work with.. made moving more enjoyable than what moving actually is!! Highly recommend this group!!

Armbruster moving were extremely professional right from the first day in every step of the way . Gus worked with us to generate the quote and also accommodated our request for a weekend move . The young crew that came did an outstanding job - the boys Dan and Dakota were so quick and efficient - they completed the entire move in under 8 hours . They took extra care not to cause any damage to our rented apartment and when they moved stuff into our newly renovated house .Overall the move was a seamless process and No hassle of having to worry about packing and unpacking .Would strongly recommend Armbruster moving and storage your next move .

The team worked well to get my moved into my new home. They took care in protecting my furniture and my home when moving things in. The team worked well together to make the move easy. I would recommend Armbruster to others for their moving needs.

Connor, Dan, and Gabe were fantastic! Very professional and thorough. All of our furniture was wrapped up like a fly in a spider's web and individually inventoried. Emptied a 5 bedroom house in 7 hours. Cardboard on all the hardwoods and blankets on every corner. Great job.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Armbruster Moving and Final Mile delivery services for Brunswick School District , and I must say, they went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience. From start to finish, their professionalism, efficiency, and dedication impressed me.First and foremost, the team at Armbruster displayed exceptional customer service. From my initial quote inquiry to the completion of the campus deliveries, their staff was always friendly, responsive, and accommodating. They patiently addressed all my queries and concerns, providing accurate and detailed information about their services.

Gary armbruster is a real SOB. He is nasty and untrustworthy. He is a liar and can not be trusted to do the right thing. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GARY OR HIS COMPANY
