We used A1 to move in August, placing all the furniture (from a 4 bedroom house), in the basement of our new house while it was was being completed. Punctual, efficient, polite and very helpful. When the house was completed, we used them again in November to move the furniture upstairs to the ground floor and re-organize the basement. As we all know , moving is a very stressful thing and these guys really take a lot of the strain off you. Furthermore, they were less expensive than other movers and the best we have used to date.

Best move I ever experienced, I didn't need to do anything on my move from. Smithville to St.Catharines. Jeff and his guys loaded everything while I was on my way to Smithville and I didn't even make it as far as Vineland when he sent me a picture of empty rooms and said he was on his way to St.Catharines to unload . The entire move took less than a hour and everything was in my new apartment. Great job and they followed all the covid standards. Easiest move of my life.
