We moved from Fair lawn New Jersey to Deep Creek 6 years ago. Due to the fact that there was a three week delay between closing in fairlawn and then closing and deep creek, David's moving and storage put our furniture and boxes into their storage facility at their location in bradenton. After we closed in Deep Creek we called them up they delivered everything nothing was broken and they were very professional I highly highly recommend their services.

Used David and his team for long-distance move from Sarasota to DC. Had his own his own trucks and crew. Very responsive, easy to schedule. Used for both packing and move. Price was very typical for this type of move. Highly recommend smaller independent movers and highly recommend David McCarthy Moving.

I misread his quote with my ADD. That's on me. Still, the charge for packing was beyond outrageous. Far off from other quotes. I should have paid closer attention. The day of, my packer was bellowing and raging at me in the first 10 minutes - all because I was surprised I suddenly had no internet and was thinking out loud about the modem. Was I wrong? No matter. When is the right time to rant and scream at the old lady customer? I let the boss know later. *David didn't care.* I also found out the day of that they do not pack or move liquids. That's a lot - cleaning supplies, oils, vinegars, extracts

This company went above and beyond to make sure I had a smooth move to Tennessee! Just before transport, my car got a flat transport. Instead of having me stress about it, the movers got my tire patched then transported it on their moving truck, just incase it popped again. Excellent customer service!

David McCarthy Moving helped my company @ramoscenterpain move some heavy expensive medical equipment to our new office. They did a fantastic job! They were on time, courteous, and professional. With all the stress of opening a new office, we had one less worry to deal with as they handled everything with care and moved things exactly where we wanted them. I highly recommend this moving company!!
