Charm City Movers is a moving firm who will actually give you a guaranteed rate. Imagine it, a firm who does not pull your strings with a great sounding estimate only to find out that someone out there didn't have a clue about quoting. The end result is a large upcharge and they hold your belongings hostage until you pay.

Moving is stressful and I was very nervous to hire a company for an interstate move, but Charm City Movers couldn't have made the process easier. From the initial quote to moving day, everything went extremely smoothly and exactly as planned. I can not recommend them more highly and I will absolutely use them again.

Great experience with charm city movers when we moved to Baltimore from Chicago. - Very competitive pricing and provided a timely quote - Communicated well prior to the move including reminders prior to the day - Three man crew helped unload our Uhaul. Were very efficient, professional, polite and helpful. Put things safely in the right areas of the home.
No broken furniture or items. Helped build our beds and some other large furniture as well. Would definitely recommend them to others and would hire them again for any future move.

Charm City Movers was recommended to me by several people who had used their services years ago, and I am glad I listened. They were quick to contact me with a quote and were helpful with any questions I had. My move required a pickup from two locations and some out of the box thinking to get items into my new home. They worked quickly and efficiently with zero damage and kept the atmosphere light and stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better team to make my move such a success! Thank you guys!

Stated a price to move. after arriving to location the quoted priced to move less than three blocks changed from 750 to 550, the quote was for going up to forth floor. 2 beds, bags. Two tvs dinning room table and chairs. one bed was moved. They only brought down one tv.then the driver proceeded to bitch about bags etc.and he has to go to another job. here's where his lie doesn't add up. the movers where to show around 2pm 3pm.yet the driver calls and says on the way around 12 pm. they arrived way before 2pm which is cool.yet to say your in a hurry at around 2pm.
They time you where to arrive.then you don't have to go blocks. Only 2 guys brought a TV out. and he wouldn't put other bags on a half empty truck, left the chairs to dinning room rushing to leave. $550 for this.

I can't say enough good things about Charm city movers! They provided exceptional service and went above and beyond. I moved into a newly (white) painted SIX story townhouse and they moved the furniture with ease and did not leave any scuffs on the walls! They were extra careful navigating stairs and tight corners. And they did it all with a smile on their faces. Moses and his entire team were professional, extremely friendly and talented. I highly recommend this company and crew.

We moved with Charm City Movers in December 2021 and had a great experience. They were responsive, honest, and efficient (plus, no damage to anything). They even accommodated a second pick-up location and graciously moved a few items free of charge that we had called in but the estimate hadn't been updated to reflect. Fixed price agreement based on # and type of items moved. We had A LOT of stuff, and they were great. We would definitely use them again.

BEST. MOVE. EVER. In the days leading up to our move, management was not only efficient and informative from the first email and call, but flexible, fair, and patient (with all our worries!). Then the team who showed up were absolutely fantastic: skilled, extremely careful, uncomplaining, efficient, did I say skilled? (Not a single ding on a wall or a doorway in either home, despite stairs and turns and large pieces, a difficult unload spot, and picky owners and building managers!) But above all these gentlemen were patient, kind, lighthearted and fun! I wanted to get all their numbers to invite them over for drinks! I wish there were ten stars available in the rating - they deserve it.

We moved a two bedroom apartment. From start (online quote) to finish (empty apartment, full storage unit), the Charm City Movers team excelled. Reasonable price, very responsive by phone, respectful and professional movers on the day of, showed up on time, treated our belongings carefully, wore masks, fit everything neatly into our storage unit. I've had bad experiences with other movers before, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charm City Movers to anyone!

I am incredibly grateful to Charm City Movers for sending us an excellent team. Moses and his 4 man team moved a two bedroom apartment, 2 storage units, and a POD into our new house. It was a huge move, with a difficult set up at the new house including a spiral staircase. They had to straight lift several heavy pieces of furniture onto the second floor landing.
These guys were beasts and they never stopped. For six hours, until everything was in the right room, they carried and hauled. I they were respectful, of us, our house, and our belongings. They actually looked like they were having fun while working. The initial staff (Chris and Felix) were friendly and responsive. We had a good quote, with the details well explained, and they worked on a Sunday (the day before the move) to revise and update the quote based on what we had already moved ourselves. Thank you! I'm impressed!

Everything about my experience with Charm City Movers was great. They offered a reasonable price and were accommodating when I had to add and remove items from the quote. They made it easy to pick the time slot I wanted and the crew showed up on time. They were respectful of my property and worked swiftly and efficiently throughout. Charm City Movers is outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone.

This is our third local move with Charm City movers, and we couldn't have been more pleased. It was very easy to get a quote online and schedule a pick up date. We have been dealing with another long-distance company for another move (which has been horrible), and CCM was able to move our date at only 2 days notice without any extra fees or anger.
The day before we got a call to confirm our move, even though it was a holiday. On the day of the move, the movers were early for the pick up, worked fast, and were friendly, even though they were ducking around other items we thought would be out of the way. Can't say enough good things - if you are doing a local move, these are the people for you.

Working with Charm City Movers was money well spent during my move. Tammy and Chris were extremely helpful in organizing and getting the initial itemized list and scheduling started. I was very grateful to get a slot near the end of August and in the morning before it got too humid or get caught in a summer storm. The move itself went so smoothly! Trevon, Dante, Mari, and Tank were our movers and they were fantastic, funny, friendly, and fast!
We loved how efficient and careful they were. In total, including a 20 min drive, the move took less than two hours which included ~20 boxes and about 12 larger pieces of furniture (carried down from a third floor with several tight turns). If we decide to move, we will definitely be using Charm City Movers again!

I hired these folks to move a couple pieces of furniture and some boxes from my old place to my new one. They were not cheap but I tend to believe you get what you pay for. They arrived on time and loaded my few items very quickly. We arrived at my new place and they placed my items in also very quickly. They set up the futon backwards. I had to ask them to reverse it.
The futon cover which started clean was dirty and streaked with dust. It appeared that they'd laid it on the ground or on the floor of their moving van without any blankets. My boxes which were carefully marked were stacked here and there with the fragile items (marked clearly as fragile) stacked in the bottom! I had less boxes and a bookcase than I had asked them to move.
The representative told me over the phone that they would adjust the price on site. Yeah right. I received a whole $15 deduction from the price. I think a bookcase and the fewer boxes were more but I was in a hurry and at that point just wanted them gone. I was moving my futon later and discovered they had somehow twisted the metal frame so that part of the one side was outside the metal brackets so that I couldn't change it to the upright position.
It took us some struggling and maneuvering it to get it twisted back the right way. I'm not impressed with this company. They weren't the worst but not the best either and for the price.yeah not do great.

In October 2020, Charm City Movers helped move my belongings from Burke, VA to Ellicott City, MD. Since I had a lot of stuff, the move was a logistical and complex operation that required two of their mid-size trucks. Yet this company handled it in a very professional and efficient manner. Their fee is reasonable and fixed, unlike quite a few other companies that leave their fees floating in the air and to be determined only on the moving day.
The reason is that Charm City Movers quoted their fee based on the inventory and pictures I sent them. Everybody I contacted there was very nice and caring. Even their moving personnel surprised me when they introduced themselves individually to my family members and did their jobs in a happy and joyful atmosphere. Also, they took great care in protecting my furniture from potential damages. Charm City Movers is the best moving company I have ever known. For sure I will use them again in the future if needed. You cannot make a mistake if you choose them as your mover!

We are so happy we picked Charm City Movers for our move within Baltimore. They moved us on a 97 degree day but worked so quickly; we were out and into the new house in just 2 hours! They are an extremely hard-working and professional group. Prices are also very reasonable. We will use Charm City Movers' service again if we ever move in the future.

These guys were amazing! From the beginning to end. Spoke with Felix initially on the phone who was very kind and talked me through the process. Even offered tips to how we could prep and even lower the price on things we could do ourselves :. Answered all my questions with patience and kindness. The day of the move the 4 gentlemen who helped us move were great! Definitely recommend!

My oldest daughter was moving and needed moving help from parents and professionals due to conflicting work schedule. My wife called several moving companies including Charm City Movers which was highly recommended by daughter's coworker. Charm City Movers submitted the lowest bid. Best of all, the company was very responsive to all of our inquiries.
Our phone calls were always answered with friendliness and respect. The other companies had much higher bids and not so responsive and friendly. One company even refused to bid because the job was too small for them. Charm City also gave my daughter a $30 discount because of her coworkers referral. On the date of the move, the workers arrived on time. Also, the supervisor was constantly giving us update on arrival time by phone.
The movers were very friendly, professional, and quick. Nothing was broken or scratch. All the pieces were placed exactly as requested. We will gladly use Charm City Movers again.

Charm City was very responsive to my inquiries about my move, which I appreciated. The 3 guys that came worked hard and fast to get my 2 BR apartment moved into a home 20 minutes away. When I had concerns about how to pack some of my weird pieces (fragile, mirrored furniture and a pantry that I wasn't sure could handle the move) they were helpful and accommodating and they got everything moved without any breakage. And I had some big heavy stuff. I had a great experience with Charm City, from the office people to the moving guys. I recommend them and would use them again.

Couldn't have been happier. Great people, straight up no pricing games. You pay for what you want done and the choice to have as much or little as you choose to be moved is up to you. We moved from Ruxton to Harbor east. The building had a lot of red tape and insurance requirements that aren't normal(due to the loading docs being shared with the garage). They just took care of it all, no fuss. Chris, Felix, Moses - A Team. Thanks we had a great experience. Greg and Sherri

Such a great experience working with Charm City Movers! I moved from Northern Baltimore city to AA Co. and had three movers. They were the nicest guys ever. They were very careful with all my belongings and they still got all my stuff into the van within 15-20 minutes! I was amazed at their strength and team work. Thanks again to everyone at CCM for taking the stress out of my move!

We were only moving 20 minutes away (from Owings Mills to Towson) and were able to move smaller items ourselves. So we only needed help with big items. Having said that, an estimate from another highly recommended company for the EXACT same big items was almost DOUBLE what we ended up paying Charm City Movers. AND I loved how the rate was guaranteed (fixed) and I didn't need to stress about the crew taking more time by getting stuck in traffic or other unexpected factors that might drive up the price. Also, we ended up getting rid of a bookcase at the last minute and the amount for that item was simply deducted from the total.
So you only pay for what you end up needing/using. In truth, we were probably nightmare clients because we needed an old, heavy armoire moved as well as a heavy wooden dresser. and it had to go up a flight of stairs (all figured into the price, but still). It was NOT an easy job, but the crew took care of it quickly and with good humor. We finished ahead of schedule, too--and the crew arrived EXACTLY on time, too!
We couldn't have been happier with the job the guys did. They are amazing and I give them my highest recommendation. I can't imagine using another company, since we got an excellent, guaranteed price and terrific service. Finally, prior to the move, every time I called with yet another petty question, the various people who answered the phone always seemed GLAD to hear from me (!) and didn't mind chatting a bit, saying they know how stressful a move can be and seemed happy to have our business. Overall a great experience (even though I can be hard to please).

My husband and I can't say enough how amazing our 3 movers were today. They showed up 20 minutes early and did a fabulous job moving us from Pikesville to Columbia. They were fast, efficient and didn't even so much as leave a scuff mark on our walls and everything was still intact and unscathed. The best part was our cost was LESS THAN our estimate. We highly recommend Charm City Movers and I posted about our wonderful moving experience on all my social media pages.

They were incredible. Showed up early, masked. 3 men were very respectful and friendly. Moved me out of my apartment through a tiny elevator and into a storage unit. Expertly packed my storages unit so everything fit and was in no danger of becoming damaged. Not to mention they got the whole job done start to finish in an hour and a half!

One of the best moving companies that I've worked with! I had a hiccup with my move-in date and Charm City was so accommodating and offered me another date to move. I received quick responses and they helped me pivot to meet the requirements of my building. The three movers who came moved my belongings in an hour (including travel time) and they were so professional. I will certainly use Charm City Movers again and I certainly will refer them.

I ordered a 273 pound recliner sofa delivered via freight. The place I bought it from was no longer offering white glove in-room delivery because of the coronavirus pandemic, but I figured my dad and I could handle the job of moving the thing into my house, down a narrow flight of stairs, negotiating a tight corner, and into a room in the basement.
Could not have been more wrong. So sitting outside in front of my house is this big, heavy, unmovable sofa. I called Charm City Movers, and they sent over Quentin and another guy the next morning. Given my experience trying to move the thing with my dad, I had doubts that two people could do it, but they proved me wrong. Quentin & co. were absolutely professional, clearly experienced, and careful. I'm very happy I called Charm City Movers to help me out with this one!
