Otto Nelson is truly a five star company. They moved us twice in 6 months first after we sold our house to an apartment and then from an apartment to the new house we built. Their attention to detail their willingness to to go above and beyond to ensure that everything in this move goes as smoothly as possible is truly amazing in this day and age.
