I would rate Great American very highly. The woman I spoke with over the phone was helpful and followed up with me to confirm everything.
We had them move us from a 3 bedroom house in NJ to a house in TX. We hired them to come in a day before and pack a number of household items (platters, dishes, glasses, etc) and wrap all the furniture. From a packing standpoint, these guys worked tirelessly for 6 hrs straight and did a great job. Though there was an abundance of packing material used (though we have not discovered one scratch or broken item).
On moving day, they were there bright and early and systematically moved everything out to the truck. Moving into the house, they kept a steady stream of boxes and furniture coming in and brought everything to the right room, as well as set furniture where we wanted it. They went above and beyond when our armoire wouldn't fit up the stairwell (older house) and gave us the option of bringing it in thru the 2nd floor window. They hauled this 400lb thing right onto the roof and thru our bedroom window!
The four guys were courteous, friendly and speedy...all things you want in movers. The cost wasn't the highest I was quoted and it wasn't the cheapest, but I would say I would definitely hire them again or recommend.
On a side note: you can save some $$ by packing things yourself or transporting smaller items in your car, as they will shrink wrap or box anything that isn't nailed down.
A spaceal thanks is for Nathan the supervisor that help us from A to Z and to Ben that was the forman.
