Robin Joy Reft
Needed to move my Brother at to a CC reasonable cost. Moving Ahead was an EXCELLENT experience. Moving Ahead services were outstanding from my initial call to book a moving date, with Jay, to the day of the move. Communication was great!
Moving Ahead provided excellent, top-notch service! The movers, Kyle and Trent, were punctual, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with everything!! They completed the move in the requested time quote. I couldn't be happier with the experience. I would definitely recommend them. The price was extremely reasonable compared to other movers I contacted.

Moving Ahead Moving Services did a great job with my move. They arrived within their scheduled window and got straight to work. I had several heavy antique pieces, and the crew handled them with care and professionalism. No moving company is ever 100% perfect, but the most important thing to me was that nothing was damaged — and they delivered on that. Overall, a reliable team, and I would use them again in the future.
Katie Porreca
Highly recommend this company. Was by far the cheapest quote I got in the Pittsburgh area. Everyone I worked with through the process was super helpful and responsive. On moving day, Isiah, Max and Devon were great. Very punctual even arriving a few minutes early with a call to let me know they were on the way. They took great care with all of my furniture. Everything was wrapped with care and they were very careful not to mark up any walls. They worked efficiently and made the process very stress free. Would use this company again and again for all moves.
Anita Spehar
The crew from Moving Ahead Services were very professional, polite and punctual. They worked very well together to get all the heavy things in without any damage to walls, etc. They transported all of my stored items from two large storage units into my new home without any issues. I would recommend this moving service to anyone that wants fair pricing, professional service and overall great experience.

Folks, if you're looking for a moving company, you must use these guys. Nobody can compete with their prices and their impeccable service. I had three guys that never stopped working. They kept me in my 2-hour window so there were no overcharges. They worked quick. Efficient were such gentlemen and mannerisms were just very proper and pleasing. You don't see that too much anymore today. I also love that this is a veteran-owned company. I called several different movers and the service wasn't even close. These guys got me in the next day and their prices weren't over inflated with all these little bells and whistles and hidden fees. Very transparent and upfront. I couldn't be happy. And they did this in Sub-Zero Arctic weather today. Kudos to your amazing company and the employees that you have working for you. I will make sure I pass the word on
