I was thoroughly impressed with HuberWilmot moving. The team gave me an arrival window between 8 and 9 and they arrived around 8:45. I think they may have underestimated how much could fit in a 1-bed 1-bath apartment because the loading took a little longer than I think they were expecting. Regardless, they moved us from out third floor apartment to our new home 20 miles away and they unloaded in record time and set our furniture exactly where we wanted and reassembled the furniture they had to disassemble at the apartment. They worked for around 7 hours and it came to a little more than $1,000. I was more than glad to pay that seeing as I didn't have to move the boxes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!read more

Very satisfied with the work by Jonathan, Carlos and irfan. They are very patient and handled all requests. In fact, we called them on last minute for same day move, but they still did a great job. They handled all the furniture very carefully. we will definitely recommend this company.read more

This was a good experience start to finish. Phone was answered promptly, people I spoke to were professional and accommodating, they found a way to make my preferred date work, and the move went very smoothly. Movers were courteous and efficient, and the service is reasonably priced. No hidden costs whatsoever. Highly recommend this company.read more

The team that picked up my belongings were on time and very professional and efficient. They first stopped at my apartment and wrapped everything for protection and loaded the truck. They then went to a second destination (my storage unit) and did the same. They were very professional. They next morning, a separate team met me at my final destination out of state and were also in time. They efficiently and expeditiously moved everything into storage. Two pieces of furniture had to be moved to my apartment (already furnished), which they did. I would recommend this moving company without reservations.read more

I used HuberWilmont for a local move. Single Family Home in Brambleton to an Apartment with Garage in Ashburn Village. When getting a quote, they were super responsive and actually came out the same day when i told them that i was leaving for vacation the next day.As for the move itself, I have no real complaints. The movers (Eslobar, Henry, Mayaryza, & JJ) were professional and did what they said they were going to do. They took the time to wrap and carefully package any loose material. Nothing was damaged in the move. They had 4 folks working about 10-11hrs. It was a long day but i had a lot of stuff. Maybe other folks could do it faster, but what do i know. It all worked out for me.I will definitely use them again.read more

Overall experience was great. Communication was exceptional. Throughout the process, I was kept updated via text and email. If a conversation was necessary, it was easy to reach both the dispatcher and the movers. Every aspect of the move was professional. Would certainly use them again and recommend.read more

Service members were always on time if not a bit early and extremely methodical and meticulous in their packing, delivery, and unpacking of my belongings. They were always willing to go the extra mile. It was astounding to me how they were able to deliver all my belongings to my new apartment building which had much narrower access points, elevator, and narrowing and curving hallways leading to the apartment.read more

I've never used a professional company to move before, and with all the great reviews I just had to give them try. I moved in February 2021, and hands down it was the best experience and worth every penny. Jacob and his team took good care of us. A move upstairs and then up more stair was quite a task but they handled it with ease. They were on time and professional, would definitely recommend.read more

Absolutely fantastic experience. No sales pressure and great team to work with. From quoting the process to the actual move, everything was very efficient and matter of fact. No hidden fees - essentially you got the crew for X hours and they will move what they can in that time. A special shout out to the crew - Lesther, Gaby, and Jonathan who did an awesome job, came on time, and communicated throughout to make sure boxes were going to the correct places. They had the patience of saints. I quoted several companies and I am glad I went with my guy to contract with HuberWilmot. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.read more

I can’t thank everyone at HuberWilmot enough for helping us with our move. They are amazing! From the beginning, Barry and Eric helped get everything set up and were SO responsive and answered all of my questions quickly. Roger, Marvin, and Gaby completed the actual move and were so professional and helpful the whole way through. I will definitely be using HuberWilmot for any future moves and will recommend them to all my family and friends. Thank you all!read more

We had the best team for our move, these guys (and one lady) were super professional, had way more protective gear for our floors and stairs then we could have imagined, and did a fantastic job. It was a long day with all of our stuff and they just got the job done with such care. We've never used HuberWilmot before but we won't use any other moving service again!read more

Highly recommend for storage and moving. They protect and itemize every item for your storage needs. Shout out to Eric, Carlitos y Israel for a phenomenal move and exceeding my expectations every step of the way.Side note: to those who want to move on a budget, I used cheaper options before—you get what you pay for. These guys might be more expensive than some, but the quality is way better.read more

I had my initial consultation with Bethaney. Due to the pandemic we did an in depth facetime for her to document the amount of furniture we own. One item was particularly delicate and required a crate - HW sent someone to measure the article for it to be crated and it was handled quickly/efficiently.We had a tricky move in that we needed to move to temp housing while our home was being completed - HW worked with us to put some items in storage and some items in temp housing. I had a lot of reservations in this type of double move and while not everything went perfectly, when I voiced my concerns the owner called me immediately to address them which was greatly appreciated - it means a lot to me when a business holds themselves accountable and does everything to fix a situation. Thank you HW.read more

The entire experience was very positive. From dealing with Erby during the estimate, to Eric in the office and Escobar and his packing/moving crew. Escobar and his crew have to be the hardest working people in the industry - they were on time, friendly, and we never once saw them slacking or cutting corners. We are a military family - so we have a lot of experience with packers and movers - HuberWilmot is a top notch company and we highly recommend them.read more

I had such an amazing moving experience! Irby was very thorough during our virtual consultation. He made excellent notes and answered all of my questions. Dennis, Vicente and Uriel were the most efficient I have ever seen. I gave them instructions upon arrival and never once had to repeat myself. They wrapped every piece of my furniture to protect it, laid down floor covers and covered my stairwells with cardboard. There was not a single bit of damage done during the process. All three men were very pleasant and polite. They even organized my storage unit in a way that I can go in and access all my boxes as needed. I highly recommend Huber Wilmot and will never use anyone else again!read more

We moved items from two homes in Leesburg to one location in Brunswick Md. When I fisrt call them Barry was quick in returning my call and answering all my questions, giving me a quote and following up. Escobar, Mayra and Henry were excellent. They arrived on time, were courteous, and worked together as a team amazingly well. They covered all the floors they walked on. Wrapped every item they moved, even the door jambs. In Brunswick the stairway to the house was steep but they managed to move our piano without a hitch, glitch or scratch. Reassembled everything and didn't leave until they knew we were satisfied. I would highly recommend this company. They were outstanding.read more

This company was absolutely wonderful from stem to stern, starting from the service I received when I booked the move in the first place. They showed up on time and also completed the move on time. They took a great deal of effort to protect the furniture—much more than using the average wrapping technique. They troubleshot the tough pieces and were able to get everything in. Moreover, they kept adding things to the load as long as I kept asking. Huber Wilmot is the best, by far, moving service I have used in the area. I can’t give them enough stars.read more

I highly recommend HuberWilmot. Great customer service - everyone was responsive, friendly and helpful. I was given clear communication of what to expect during the entire process. They arrived at 8am sharp, the time discussed, and efficiently packed and loaded the truck with extreme care. Our move consisted of different stops, which included a partial pack and pickup at our house, a stop at our storage unit, and then to the HuberWilmot storage facility for temporary storage. This professional moving company made the typical stress of moving, stressless. I'm very pleased we decided to go with HuberWilmot Moving & Storage!read more

The reviews don’t lie! I’ve used every other moving company and they are all the same. (Reason I Change moving companies every time I move) they came in and started to rock n roll! They protected the house as if it was there’s. Furniture wrapped top to bottom not just a pad thrown on it like the the other companies . I know you can’t get excited about moving..but these folks where on another level!kudos to Edwin, JJ & Israel! These boys are the champions of moving!!!Many Thanks Huber-Wilmot moving! My family and I are very greatful!read more

TL;DR Great value, hard-working & efficient workers with respect for belongings and home. Highly recommend.I had a last-minute change of moving companies and Huber Wilmot was up to the task. We had a very long, steep driveway at the point of origin and the movers were excellent. I rented a UHAUL van to shuttle items up the driveway so the move took a long time (approximately seven hours to load). The crew of six were careful and professional and even carried larger items up the driveway on their backs, which was very impressive. The crew leader Napoleon was very efficient and made sure to keep things moving at a quick pace.One thing I want to mention that could get better is that some of the workers seemed to need help reading clearly marked boxes for where to place them in the new house. I tried to make sure that those workers always had me next to them to direct them to the right place. On occasion when I had to be somewhere else, I noticed boxes in the completely wrong place, sometimes in the basement when they belong on the 2nd floor. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier, illiteracy, or carelessness but that is the only criticism I have of the crew's work, which is pretty awesome for a move of my size - one full 26' truck and one half-full 20' truck.I have only found one broken item and it was made of particle board, which Napoleon tried to fix at the end of the move. I can't speak highly enough of him and his work ethic.Make sure you have a Spanish dictionary or Google Translate handy! Napoleon and one other person spoke English well, but if I had to speak with the others I tried my best at what I remembered from high school Spanish class.Overall, the value I got was better than any other hourly quote I received and they did it in less time than I had anticipated. There was a $200 truck fee for each truck and then for a six man crew on a Sunday, it was $280 per hour and they worked almost non-stop (short break for food after loading was complete) for twelve hours straight.I highly recommend Huber Wilmot and will recommend them to anyone who asks.read more

From the initial contact from HuberWilmot Moving & Storage they were top notch! Fast responses, very thourough with responses, and they got us in quick for a move to storage with my first choic date! Then on moving day "G" and "JJ" were our moving crew and they were super hard workers and extremely careful with our home and property. The care they took wrapping blankets, shrink rap etc around our household items was amazing. Having gone through near a dozen military moves, I've seen a wide range of movers and these guys are THE BEST! Highly recommend them.read more
