We are Yelp Five-Star Rated!
These guys were terrific. We had a big 2-day move during a really bad rain storm in November. We also had a steep driveway that the guys had to walk everything up on the back end. They were so careful with our items, so friendly, and kept positive attitudes with us and each other the whole time. Could not recommend them more!!!
We needed help moving our parents into an assisted living facility on relatively short notice, and Backbreakers were the only moving company able to respond quickly to meet our needs. On moving day they showed up on time, moved fast, and moved all items safely to their new home. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving service.
This was one of the most reliable, professional and dependable moving services that I have ever experienced. They were on time, which really matters during a move. The truck was a newer model with all the necessary accessories, such as; blankets, dollies and so on, with a lift gate for heavy items. The movers were in sync with each other, making for a very organized load and unload. And to top it off, they were polite and considerate. I highly recommend this business.
I only moved a few miles, and left a lot of stuff for a garage sale. Ran out of time to pack everything and they finished packing for me and we were done in less time than anticipated. Great guys to talk to, laugh with a very happy experience in what was a very anxious mess.
This was easy. The crew showed up as scheduled and got right to work. I needed 3 heavy items relocated on my property and these guys were finished in about 20 minutes. They were safe, professional, courteous. I would absolutely hire Back Breakers for any heavy lifting job!!
Dane and his crew moved all of our household belongings on Oct 18th.
We were very satisfied with their work and highly recommend them. They were professional, courteous and listen to our requests.
The backbreaker team was outstanding and I am so happy I worked with Chris at Backbreakers in Freeland. The team of 3 men were hardworking and cheerful and kind. They were so fast and it is so wonderful to have it all done. They were especially responsive to my request to take an item I forgot at the last minute! Thank you Team Rory!
