I recently had Jeremy, Danny & Mike pack and move my household items to a new condo within Sarasota. I also have the remaining pieces in storage to be sent up north sometime in April. They were very efficient, courteous. Their expertise was immediately obvious which helped to make a great finish. Thank you all it was a smooth move.

Please use Kearney movers We hired Yarnel to move our house Packing and unpacking. All the kitchen dishes are missing and crystal wine glasses. Approximately 3500.00 worth of items are missing we believe when they were unpacking they intentionally emptied half the boxes and bring out the "empty boxes" back to the truck. We are all unpacked because they were paid to unpack also.
Guess all those half empty boxes went to an employee home. Yarnel handed us a paper we signed off on that all boxes are accounted for. Yup. Funny thing about that when half full boxes go right back on the truck for others enjoyment The owner offered 944.50 and threatened a liable suit for posting. We declined the 944.50 because we would have to sign a release.
We had full replacement insurance and paid them well over 10,000 We will not be threatened to remove the truth from this post and will not accept the offer of 944.50 nor sign a release! This post stays!.each day we discover more and more items missing. Do not do it!

FAMILY owned business that really "cares" about people! When I first moved here they were ALL so very welcoming, inviting, caring and made me feel like I was at home here. I can't say enough about them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of moving to this paradise. They are a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5. and I am forever grateful for their kindness.

I have used Yarnall in the past, but NEVER again! Terrible experience this time. They ruined my 55" flat screen TV, broke one of my pole lamps, broke a night stand, messed up the shelf on my TV stand and scratched 2 of my dressers. When I called to report the issues, I was told someone would get back in touch with me, which they have not, but the person answering the phone told me that the items would be covered at.06 cent per lb., so for the 55" flat screen TV I will get $2.70.
That doesn't help much to replace a 2 year old TV. I haven't even finished unpacking. Shame on me for not reading the contract. My recommendation to everyone is to NEVER use Yarnall.

Nice people and quick service. I had a delivery here, was late, spoke with Tammy, she let me come and park overnight, please note, there is no truck stop anywhere around. there was a gentleman on the site, he advised me not to walk around at night, it's not safe, he called his boss n let me inside the gate. the offloading is quick.

I have moved a household full of items 7 times since 2000, with at least 50% of the moves being long-distance (e.g., MA to CA, FL to VA, MA to FL). I have used a variety of full service movers. My recent move from FL to VA was handled by United and this is a review of that move, which was done professionally. United was among the best movers, not as good as the best mover in a corporate move of a 3 bedroom/3 bath home (from MA to CA and costing $75,000), but was just a little bit below (in that I had to be aware of items like aerosols that could not be moved and separate those out while in the corporate move, the movers sent a person in to take care of everything beforehand).
My estimate is that the move would have cost 10-20% of the $75K if done by United. United moved my household belongs from Tampa, FL to Arlington, VA in late Feb 2017. This involved a full pack, loading and unloading, and then a partial unpack (of the kitchen) and a removal of all empty boxes on the day of the unloading. I went to 4 moving companies for estimates.
United was not the lowest but was very competitive. The estimator was accurate and thorough AND honest, and included crating of an expensive glass table and special handling of some large artwork. The move coordinator, Stephanie, was excellent. Each time I had a concern about the loading and/or unloading, she was on the phone to clarify or fix issues, e.g., arranging for unpackers to come in from the local United Van Line organization within 1 hour of a call.
She made the move go smoothly! The loading was excellent. Even with rain, the runners protected the floors of my house. The unloading was also good even though the destination was on the 12th floor of a building and required the unloaders to actually carry some artwork up the stairs since the piece was too large to fit in the elevator! The movers were careful with the only damage being a slight chipped front of a small wood file cabinet.
United paid the small damage claim within 2 weeks. This was my second moved with United. Previously, I had moved from Sarasota, FL to Dunedin, FL. The same estimator was used then and was honest, open and reliable. The same move coordinator, Stephanie, was also used and she was very good on this easier local move. In the longer Tampa, FL to Arlington, VA move, she was just superb and made everything go easier. I would definitely use United to move again.

Bait and switch at Yarnall Moving. I called Yarnall Moving two days ago to move a dining table approximately 60 miles from Sarasota to Tampa. I spent a long time on the phone with their representative, describing the table, it's weight and it's dimensions accurately. I was told the price would be approximately $400. Two days later when I called to make all the arrangements, Yarnall told me it would cost "at least $900, maybe more." Needless to say, I find this to be sleazy, deceptive business. It's bait and switch. I've used Yarnall in the past, but my relationship with them is over. Next time I will find an upstanding company with integrity. That's not Yarnall.

We had a good experience with Yarnall Warehouse. The men who packed up the 120 boxes plus several rooms of furniture were professional, hardworking, and efficient. The move was complicated by the fact that there were three different destination points and everything had to go into storage for a week (i.e., off-loaded from the truck into the warehouse in Florida, shipped up North, then on-loaded onto a smaller U-Haul truck and delivered).
On delivery day the movers arrived an hour late, but worked hard to make up for lost time---in the pouring rain. We had some valuable art, some of which was crated expertly and another piece which was simply wrapped in a padding blanket. Apart from the delay and the mis-crated art, I was very satisfied. This is an reputable company--communications are prompt, the price is competitive, and the service is excellent. I would recommend Yarnall Warehouse to anyone.

Excellent service. I have heard tons of horror stories about moving and movers especially across state lines. But hiring Yarnall to move my parents from Florida to Texas was the best decision ever. They performed the whole process seamlessly. Gave a Competitive Quote, easy paperwork, set a date that was convenient for us, showed up right on time on day of the move with a large van and a a wonderful team of 4 men. Moved each and every item quickly and efficiently and expertly pack the king size sleep number bed, exercise equipment and other unusual items (paintings, etc. ).
All is less than 4 hours and off they went and delivered 4 states away just days later. Again unloaded the van quickly and efficiently and even helped set up some items even quicker than they packed everything just days before. Amazing. Not a single complaint or anything that could have been done better. Extremely happy and satisfied. Thank you Yarnall for not adding stress to what is already a stressful thing- moving.
