“Gorilla Haulers completed my long distance interstate move with precision professionalism, and no stress. I needed to move the contents from three separate storage locations around northern Virginia to new home in Florida. Wilson and his crew picked up everything from each location and even provided additional packing to protect my furnishings. Mike and his delivery team showed up within 3 days on time and moved everything into my home in just a few hours either zero damage. I highly recommend Gorilla Haulers. Local company and very professional..”

Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Iowa pickup | For an Iowa pickup, note any long driveway, detached building, or separate storage location. Include large workshop or outdoor items in the inventory so the team can discuss what can be transported and how it should be prepared. |
| Florida delivery | For a Florida condo, confirm elevator reservations, loading hours, and any paperwork needed for movers. Give us your first available delivery date separately from your flight or drive south. If your closing or lease start is uncertain, discuss storage before pickup. |
