Movers News, Guides and Moving Checklists - Helpful Tips from your Local Moving Company
Posted on Feb 2, 2013
Moving during the winter may seem like a daunting task, but if you prepare correctly it is actually advantageous.
Continue readingTotal house relocation in the midst of a heatwave, with a limited time to complete the process. From the professional who showed up on time and built the estimate, to the crew that showed up on time and packed, then moved the contents, an A+. Very professional. Very competent and organize. Very personable. Very hard working, and a pleasure to work with. Kudos also to the Braun coordinator who made sure all the financial and administrative processes were worked out, again within a limited time constraint. I would recommend Braun, without hesitation!

We had a very good experience with Braun. The crew worked hard and were literally running down my new driveway to get the next piece to unload. They didn't mind moving a few things around at the end and got the job done quickly.

Had a three bedroom+ house of furniture to move from Brookfield to Farmington. From the beginning they were helpful and explained everything . Tom came out for my estimate and he was thorough and friendly and the estimate was spot on. Also the best price I got. Elsa in the office took over from there and she was always pleasant and answered every question. She even called during the day of the move to see if it was going well and what she could do.

Awesome experience, from the first call to the front end pick up of the furniture to the end of the trip, all our possessions arrived undamaged. The team of movers both on the first part (moving out) to the arrival in the southwest, the gentlemen and the drivers were professional, courteous, and quick. Bill the driver for the cross country move went over the inventory before they left and reviewed the inventory as it arrived. Robin at the office coordinated the move and was readily available to answer all my questions. Doug, who came to do the initial quote was incredible how quick and accurately he inventoried the furniture for an estimate. The difference in estimate to actual weight on the move was over the estimate slightly but I knew the cost right away. Nothing was hidden in the way of fees or hidden charges. Great experience, would use them again if I move.

Tom, Robin, Ryan and the Braun team made my move from CT to NC go as smoothly as a move can go. They were professional, caring and personable. The actual move dates were probably the easiest days of the relocation process. Ryan's sense of humor and work ethic made me feel at ease during a stressful time. And all of our items arrived in great condition. Thank you Braun Movers.

Both I and my company have used Braun to move our home, and, a business. Utilizing Braun to facilitate our various moves was likely one of our most intelligent decisions! From coordination, through pick up and ultimately delivery the process was a breeze. Estimates were on target and there was absolutely no surprises at all. Moving staff were 100% professional, well spoken, respectful and treated everything as if it were a treasured antique. Moving of any sort can be outrageously stressful. We all highly recommend Braun Moving & Storage for local and interstate moves of any size.
