Reviews of Always Moving Forward (Moving Company)

Dee Choun

The team did an excellent job of moving all my belongings from the old house to the new house. They were fast, too fast in fact that I thought I had enough time to pack up the kitchen while they loaded up both trucks they were waiting on me to get done boxing everything up. They were by far the cheapest free quote out of 4 other moving companies I got quotes from by at least $200. I felt they didn't charge me enough. They made sure everything was where it needed to be before they left. They also took apart all the beds and crib and reassembled them. They all worked hard and didn't complain moving in the cold January weather. I would highly recommend James and his team.

This company was great to work with! James was easy to work with on the front end and gave me the most reasonable quote for a local move compared to several other companies. On the day of the move they actually arrived early. The team was really efficient in loading and unloading, and they were really helpful with putting together things like my bed and a mirror on a dresser. They made sure everything was where i wanted it before they left. The final price was actually below their quote, so that was a nice bonus. I would definitely recommend Always Moving Forward for local moves!

James and his crew worked non stop to get our move done as quickly as possible. They were professional and polite. Called him after to have additional work done. Would recommend him and his crew to anyone looking for an effortless move.

Just had a recent move and this was the first place that I called. James was extremely helpful and came out for the estimate in an hour. Gave me an estimate and he agreed on the date for the move. Movers showed the day of the move and were kind and courteous and very fast and efficient. Would definitely use again!!

When I first called them I didnt understand the current market for moving across the country. I needed to move my stuff from Iowa to LA and I have a weird working travel schedule to deal with. James was the only guy who was completely honest with me while I was shopping around and even told me what to look out for so that I wouldn't get swindled down the road so a few months later I decided to go with his company. He gave me a flat sum for the move and his guys picked everything up from Iowa and brought it to me in LA and into my new home. They were super friendly and nearly magical with some of the items they were able to squeeze up the stairs to the second floor. (Boxspring!!) They even worked with me a bit to tetris things around the room so that I had it a bit setup before they left. Best decision ever!! Thank you James and crew!! <3

Sarah Woods

Very easy to work with, prompt and courteous response to my two reschedules. The team that moved us maintained their professionalism and even their sense of humor while moving a lot of stuff. They even went to our storage unit to pick things up. Would highly recommend.

Megan Stokesberry

The crew that came to move us today were excellent! Tyler and Aaron were polite, efficient and were so helpful! We're very grateful for their assistance and the great service that James and his crew provides! We'd highly recommend Always Moving Forward if you are ever in need of a moving service in the Iowa City/ Cedar Rapids Cooridor.

I have used Always Moving Forward multiple times over the last several years. Most recently, I moved our business, and our home within a 2 month period and had AMF do the heavy lifting. James and the AMF muscle never fail to disappoint. Kind, courteous, and consistent. I highly recommend James and the crew.

Dennis Fratella

Very nice owner.

From South Carolina to Minnesota!! James and team were the most affordable, trustworthy, and considerate team of worker that my in-laws interviewed. They SERIOUSLY ENJOYED James and crew. Their communication was outstanding! They moved- originally - from Colorado to South Carolina and with a nationally-known company spent DOUBLE the price that James quoted for the move to Minnesota. And, they had over $1500 in damage from the "national" company. No major damage at all from the SC to MN move! Always Moving Forward's team was prompt, packed carefully, noted if something was a concern in stability when loading, carefully placed each box like it was there own and it showed in their end results. We couldn't be happier! This is the 4th cross-country-move in which we have recommended Always Moving Forward to friends and family. EACH TIME, they rave about the team that comes to move them: carefulness, nice personalities, speed, problem-solving, communications, and especially their fantastic pricing. Amazing that EACH had the exact same things to say! Thank you to James and crew ;) (PS - this review was completely unsolicited! Just felt I had to do so!)

We just used James and his crew to move from Tiffin to Iowa City. Everyone was very respectful and polite, and they are very skillful movers!! It was raining pretty hard and they were so apologetic about trying to keep our things dry and asked for towels to wipe things down when they got them inside. We hope to never move again, but highly recommend Always Moving Forward if you need to!!

Steve Clark

James and his crew are hands down the best moving company. I have used them to move both my residence and business, each on different occasions. They do a great job, meeting the deadlines set, and at an affordable price. They are courteous, polite, and punctual. I recommend them to anyone planning a move, whether it is a few blocks or across the country.

Matt Brenton

I recently moved and had Always Moving Forward move me. They did a great job. They were able to fit quite a bit in a single load and were careful with my belongings. They were also careful not to damage the house by putting up protective padding where necessary. They reassembled furniture without me even asking. They were very efficient and the price was great. I would highly recommend them on your next move!

Nicole Schroeder

My family had a great experience working with James at the Cedar Rapids Festival of Trees. Always Moving Forward delivered our family's winning auction tree. They were extremely friendly and kind. We definitely know who we will be calling when we move in the future and who we would recommend locally to others! Can't beat excellent customer service.

Lucy Choisser

Quick, efficient, careful. Kept us updated on arrival. Highly recommend!

Tyler Omalley

Amazing ! First time ever using a moving company but they go above and beyond moved my whole UPSTAIRS (a lot of stairs) apartment very quickly even took things I didn’t want to move downstairs to the garbage ! Amazing

Michael Halloran

These guys are fantastic. Helped take the stress out of moving from Amana to Des Moines big time. Very professional.

Daniel Dresden

This company was hands down the best. Hard working movers, very friendly, and took care of the details. Only took 4 hours to load and unload. I'd use again.

Nate Beranek

This company and team will absolutely work circles around any other moving company hands down. We liked how James showed up personally to give us a quote rather then over a website like other moving companies. James and Taylor worked like 2 machines and never missed a beat. They were so respectable and careful with all our belongings. I would highly recommend James and his team to move anything and anyone. I cannot even say enough about this company. 10 star company all day long. Thank you guys very much
