extremely incredible group of people I was having car troubles on the side of the highway, and they were nice enough to jump me off and lend a helping hand. They were extremely nice and amazing. although I did not use them to move. I would definitely recommend them as they are honest and amazing guys and if I am to move in the future, I would want to use them!

I thought I gave my review a long time ago but I guess better late than never. I live in a gated community and it didnt feel like that was an obstacle, They got busy right away and included me every step of the way. It was the best move I ever had and they will most likely be the only movers I will ever use. Professional, Friendly, Honest what more would you want?

This was my first time ever using a moving company and Petra made the whole experience so easy. They showed up on time, worked quickly, and took such great care of all my things. I was honestly shocked at how smooth everything went and I can’t believe I have been DIY moving all these years- never again! As a single mom in a new state with no family- this truly meant the world to me.<br><br>The movers were friendly, funny, professional, and took all the stress out of this whole experience. I wanted to hug all of them by the end of the day lol I have actual tears of gratitude in my eyes as I type this. They handled everything from the heavy furniture to the fragile items like it was their own stuff. Nothing was damaged and the whole move went way faster than I expected.<br><br>Their pricing was amazing for the level of service, and it felt worth every penny. I can’t imagine ever moving again without Petra. If you’re looking for movers, these are your people.

Have had two great experiences with Petra. They are reliable, communicative, flexible, and affordable. They are also careful with your things! CJ (team lead), Kalvin, and Davonte worked hard in the July heat. Daniel the owner is easy to get in touch with and was really flexible with a last minute change. Will use again.

My experience with Petra was by far better than I expected. Dan was very professional, kind and diligent from the beginning by providing a quote during the weekend. Communication was clear and timely, and reminders very helpful.<br>Movers were phenomenal, CJ the crew lead was great, all of them very kind, and handling everything wit diligence and care yet, moving quickly. It was a flawless experience. I am very grateful to all of you guys; thank you for having taken care of this important piece; in the midst of a very stressful situation, Petra Moving was truly a blessing. THANKS AGAIN!<br>And big THANK YOU to @Phillip Simon with @Nomis Group International for the referral!

I had a wonderful experience with Petra! The guys moved items from our home into an assisted living space for my husband and were kind, careful and invested in helping me set-up the space. I can’t say enough good things about this company and am glad I found them to help us during a stressful time.

These are the best movers I have ever had! Every piece was padded and wrapped in clear plastic. I had some very heavy pieces and everything made it through the move great!

I had an absolutely amazing experience arranging services with Petra Moving Company, particularly working with Daniel. Moving can be stressful, especially under challenging circumstances. In my case, I needed to coordinate packing and moving assistance for my tenant while I was out of the country. Daniel's professionalism, clear communication, and reasonable approach made a huge difference and were incredibly appreciated. He handled this complex situation smoothly and efficiently, making the process seamless for my tenant.<br><br>I wholeheartedly recommend Petra Moving Company for any moving, packing, or temporary storage needs. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in the future
