    On 6/23/22 I called them for a quote on moving a few heavy items from our home to the church and was quoted $180 per hour, but nothing available, but they the owner called back and had an opening this day, I explained we only had a few items to move.. no problem, they have men sitting around at the warehouse and this will help him by putting them to work. Nothing was said about any minimal hours nor about adding an hour for travel time to our sight. I accepted that and the job was completed in less than 2 hours and I received a bill for $990 to be paid in cash. I disputed the charge, but when I found out he was in the hospital, I paid it with the intention of him making it right afterwards. They were totally deceitful in their charge and neither the company nor Mr B****** was willing to adjust this charge. I would never recommend this company. My bill should have been no more than $360 and I had to pay $990 cash, you be the judge.
