“Just had to share this. We worked with Eli Jones for our partial move from Plattsburgh NY to Dade City FL. We experienced great friendly communication and thoughtful careful moving guys on both ends of our move. Most of our things are sentimental older things that we love and value and the guys were so very careful. The movers had to traverse stairs on both sides of this move and made it look easy. All the furniture was carefully wrapped and secured. We packed 45 boxes of more family items, including several breakable pieces, framed pictures, (2) large pieces of valuable artwork which they carefully wrapped and crated and lots of my books and all went very well with those too. We can highly recommend.”

| Location | Access to review |

| New York pickup | Specify whether your pickup is in New York City, on Long Island, or elsewhere in the state. For a city building, discuss walk-up floors, freight elevators, loading appointments, and certificate-of-insurance requirements before booking. |
| 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. |
