We had a fantastic experience with Jake & Jose Moving! They showed up on time, were incredibly flexible, and were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Our move ended up taking the entire day, and they never once complained or made us feel rushed. They also deserve some serious credit for not giving up on our king size mattress when it absolutely did NOT want to make it up the stairs! 😂 They kept at it until they figured it out. Everyone was personable, respectful, friendly, and professional. Moving is stressful enough as it is, and having a crew that was so easy to work with made a huge difference. We would absolutely use Jake & Jose Moving again and happily recommend them to anyone looking for movers!

We booked Jake & Jose for a small move from our son’s apartment to a storage facility. We were informed they would come early afternoon but never given a time. After 5 phone calls and 2 texts with no response we finally went to U-Haul to book a truck and figure it out ourselves. It was now 3:00 pm. While at the U-Haul store, we saw Jake and Jose and asked them if they were getting ready to come and do our move. We were informed that they were going to call us and ask if we could pick a different day because they had to take the dog to the vet. We had driven 5 hours from Chicago and 1 hour from Cedar Falls to make this move on this day. I would not recommend these movers at all!
Response from Jake N Jose Moving Service
We apologize for the inconvenience. We had scheduled you for the afternoon once we finished up with another job we had that morning. Our first job took much longer than we expected, and didn’t get back until after 3pm. We would have still come to help you guys later that day or the following day, but when we saw you at Uhaul, had already made other arrangements. This is not a typical thing for us, we get extremely busy this time of year in July, and try to help as many people as possible. We are a small company, it’s just myself and Jose that do all the jobs so sometimes jobs can take longer than expected. We always try to give our best effort for our customers, and we are sorry for the miscommunication and inconvenience on your end.

Used Jake N Jose Moving for my move and they were awesome! These guys were fast and got everything done efficiently without me having to worry about a thing. Price was really affordable too, way better than I expected. Would 100% recommend them if you need movers who actually know what they're doing.

Scheduled with Jack on 6/1 for moving services on 6/11. Had great communication leading up to the move day, then didn't respond to texts or calls, exepct to tell me that they wouldn't be able to make it today. no explanation, no follow up and they blocked my number right after.
