"Mike and his team were absolutely incredible at every step of our move. The logistics of the move were challenging with furniture going to 3 different locations after we moved out of our family home. And they handled everything so well. They were professional, conscientious, and just great guys!"
"Wonderful service! Kevin and his partner were exceptional! I would definitely use your service again."
"Kindest and most efficient movers I’ve ever met. Would very highly recommend to everyone I know."
"My experience with Gallo Movers was terrific. They arrived as planned with great communications. Care was taken when moving the items. Gallo movers made the move look easy. They are highly recommended. "
"Gallo was exceptional. We strongly recommend them. They had to move heavy couches out of a second storey window--no easy feat. They were professional, efficient, and friendly."
"From Chris H to Kevin D and the whole crew assigned to our move, I could not be happier. This was a big move for our family, and these men were all very kind and understanding. It went without a hitch! They worked non-stop from the minute they arrived until our house was empty! I would recommend Gallo to anyone who wants a seamless, stress-free move."
"Great guys! Very professional! Quick and efficient, would recommend to anyone moving!"
"Mike, Duncan and Joe are incredible hard working guys. We moved on a ridiculous hot day. These guys could not have been more pleasant and helpful. We recommend GalloMovers any day. By the way Mike was in charge of our move 81/2 years ago. Gallo is lucky to have a person like Mike as a hard working supervisor!"
"The movers were very friendly and professional and took great care to ensure that everything was safely moved from one home to the next. They were very accommodating when arranging furniture. They stacked boxes in an organized fashion that made unpacking much easier. I would highly recommend these movers!"
"Francisco and his team were amazing. From start, working with Brian, to finish the service was top notch. Would highly recommend Gallo to anyone."
"From initial contact through packing, loading and delivery we enjoyed A+ service from Gallo. Chris gave us a fair estimate via a FaceTime tour, Meg and Kim were great communicators via phone, email, and text, and the packing and moving crews were friendly, efficient, and totally professional. When our house sold, we were contacted immediately by more than 20 moving companies. We’re very glad that we went with Gallo!"
"We are very pleased with the service we received from your company. Everything was well handled from start to finish. We were kept informed every step of the way. The movers were courteous, friendly and very gentle with our belongings. We are so pleased that we will use Gallo Moving again for the second portion of our move and will recommend them to family and friends."
"Everything went smoothly. The crew was very professional and helped out with some "extracurricular" things... replaced a light bulb in the freezer, changed a battery in a smoke detector. One guy even repaired a bookcase that was falling apart. I have used many movers over the years and your guys were the best. Thank you and the Gallo crew. I will be calling shortly for the debris pick up."
"Fantastic! Organized! Friendly! Excellent! Great experience on what could have been a stressful day!!!"
"We were SO pleased with the crew from Gallo Moving that did our move. They were just amazing! Friendly and professional, and really approached the job with a positive, can-do attitude. They were a pleasure to work with - they turned something I was dreading into such an easy process."
