Obviously, you can’t simply ask the moving company, whether or not it is reputable. All movers will claim to be reputable, experienced and knowledgeable. It is up to the customer to verify that information. Start with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB should have a listing for every mover you might be considering. Check and make sure that the mover has addressed complaints and tried to successfully resolve them.
Ask the movers to provide you will all relevant licensing information. Check the license numbers to make sure everything is in order and there are no standing complaints against the company.

Ask the moving company if a sales representative can come to your house and provide you with an on-site, on-location estimate. Such estimates are much more accurate. Ask the moving company to provide you with references from customers in your area. An experienced moving company shouldn’t have a problem with providing you references. As mentioned above, you should ask the mover to provide you with all relevant license numbers. With most reputable companies, the license numbers will appear on the paperwork handed to you, including the moving estimate.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
