If you're moving I highly recommend you use mountaineer movers. They have helped me out numerous times including a rather large move from Hamilton across the province and several pianos over the years. Everyone there is really nice, and very helpful. Sarah and Tom were great at getting everything set up for this last big move and the crew I had come in were fantastic, super friendly and very efficient. The price was great as well. Certainly much better than some other quotes I got. If you're not sure where to turn give them a call. I really appreciated the peace of mind this company afford me!

Hired Moutaineer movers was pleased with the customer service and move went smoothly. Unfortunately, an item went missing and although the company said they would look into the matter nothing has been done and I have had no further contact from them, hence this review. Such a shame really. The company has since contacted me and paid restitution however I cannot in good faith recommend them as trustworthy movers.

Yesterday, Dave and John arrived within the specified time to help move some furniture from my Mother's home which has recently been sold, following her death in 2020. The move went very smoothly and both men were very polite and professional. Most of the furniture is over 50 years old and they took great care in protecting each piece. They did a wonderful job in setting up the vintage dining room furniture and sectional couch in my place of residence. They both showed compassion and empathy towards my emotions throughout our interaction, because the family home is being sold after 50+ years and

I would not recommend or use these movers again. .the move itself was smooth until it came time to pay. They charged me an extra 1/2hour and then said it was for travelling time from their store to my house. .and this was even before they started loading any furniture. i can see paying for travelling time from one place to another after the truck has been loaded with furniture. .but not the other..

They never stated to me that the time started from the moment they left their store. .When i inquired about it.. they said they look into it and call me back. .of course that never happened. Poor customer

Mountaineer Movers just completed a move for my in-laws. The movers were courteous and kind when dealing with an older couple. They were very careful with their belongings. My mom used this company about 3.5 years ago. She also had a very positive experience. Thank you!
