I was in desperate need of moving help for the very next day. I didn't have high hopes for a positive outcome, but I was wrong. Eric (the company owner) responded very quickly. He asked what I needed, info about the items to be moved, and what my timeline was. After answering those questions he explained the fee structure and what the cost would be. The service provided for two movers for two hours. I couldn't quite afford the amount for two movers as I had already paid for movers earlier who took my money but did not finish the move. Eric checked his schedule and said since I only had boxes and no heavy items or furniture he would do the job himself at a time that worked perfectly for both of us and at a rate I could manage. His work ethic, quality, and helpfulness was so very good. If I ever move again this will be my first phone call to set up service. I appreciate all that was done. I also stopped worrying as soon as I hired Iowa Moving 1!

Eric & his team did a great job for us, especially considering that it was over 100 degrees on the day we had scheduled. Eric also had great follow up both before & after our job was done.
There were no surprises or “gotchas”. I was constantly updated as to their arrival time. They unloaded household goods/ furnishings from a moving truck into a house. They were on-time & completed the work without the need for extra time/charges. It had rained the previous day & they protected against tracking mud throughout the home as best they could. I would use them again.
Excellent and friendly service. Staff did well - didn't complain even though it was 99 degrees outside. Would hire again.
Great guys- got the job done. It was a 5 minute job so the only drawback was the 1 hour min- but I understand you are running a business.
I called last minute and they were able to come and move my furniture. Would recommend
I needed a quick job done and the guys at Iowa Moving 1 adjusted their schedule so they could get to my house same day. Highly recommend.
Good work, polite, showed up on time, very efficient. Highly recommended for your projects!
These guys knew exactly what they were doing and were very fast!
Rate was to high for less than 30 minutes of work - $165 really is taking advantage of senior women.
We hired Iowa Moving 1 to move some furniture between the inside of the house and our garage. The movers were professional, courteous and worked quickly. Some of the items were very bulky and they were very careful so as not to scratch any of the walls. The company's follow up and follow through before and after the job was very thorough. I highly recommend them and we plan to use them again.
The movers did a great job moving a heavy piece of furniture upstairs for us.
The team showed up on time and went to work. The team did everything asked of them. However the management team did not schedule appropriately. I informed the schedulers what we were moving, and they estimated how long it should take. The management team didn’t send enough pads and blankets to protect the furniture and caused me to choose what not to move. As they couldn’t load the truck without scratching the remaining furniture. Additionally, the management team scheduled another customer after my move. This caused stress and anxiety on the movers because they didn’t have enough time to complete the job I hired them for. Furthermore, I now need to find time and movers to finish moving the items that the management team didn’t allow time for me to get completed. I won’t be recommending this company to family and friends due to these issues I experienced.
Nice Guys!
They were great to work with. I had a full truck and they came in the rain and unloaded it and got everything upstairs quickly. Very professional and a good crew to work with.
I received a call quickly. Very professional and informative of services offered. I was impressed.
Fast Professional Movers! They also did a great job packing for me. Would use them again!
Eric was the only mover who didn't charge for travel time, and he negotiated rates so it could be affordable. We got a lot accomplished in my one-hour move.
They fit me in last minute and moved everything into the truck and made multiple stops to unload all within 2 hours.
