Coastal Moving helped my mom with her move from Cleveland to Boca Raton Florida last week and I cannot express enough how easy they were to work with. The movers showed up on time and were extremely hard working. They handled all my moms belongings with care and delivered them on time. I would definitely recommend hiring Coastal for your moving needs. Although they weren’t the cheapest, they were worth every penny! Thanks

This is 1 of 7 moves that I’ve scheduled over 1000 miles since the pandemic in 2020. My lucky number is 7 so it makes sense that this company finally came through for me and they left me very surprised. I certainly should leave more reviews when I’m pleased however this is the first review I’ve ever left for a company and I turn 50 in July. Wo hooo!!!,- at any rate, for once I have a company that’s actually honest and upfront about all possible fees that could pop up throughout the moving process. Thank you Coastal for the experience. Don’t ever change how you guys do things! Happy to tell you all my move went smoother than expected.

What an easy move!!! They came yesterday to Dallas to move me to Pompano Beach. 5/24/24. They couldn’t have been nicer. I have used 5 moving companies in the past 9 years and I wish I had used for all of my long distance moves. As soon as they left I wanted to call their customer service and say thank you but decided a nice review would be better
