| - I have moved 19 times, and if I ever move again, I will always call Lloyd!! I hired Amen because of the reviews on Yelp, so my expectations were pretty high. Yet, this company still managed to greatly exceeded my expectations!
I contacted Lloyd through Yelp and he got back to me right away. During my initial phone consultation, I found Lloyd to be very professional. We agreed on a date and time for my move, and Lloyd contacted me to confirm the day before.
On the morning of my move, the foreman, Will, arrived a few minutes early to assess the job. He was very professional, knowledgable, and assured me that him and his crew would be conscious of the time during every phase of my move, since I was paying by the hour. From the moment the truck and crew arrived, these men worked very efficiently and carefully. In my opinion, part of the reason that they were so efficient is because they seemed to have a camaraderie, got along very well, respected one another, and seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. They worked as a true team, with the common goal of moving my home as quickly as possible, and without damaging anything. They did this successfully, and when they left at the end of the day, I knew that they had done a great job, and did not take advantage of me by working slowly so that they could bill me for more time.
What really put Amen Movers over the top was what happened the next day. While I was moving, I had told Will that I wasn't taking my couch because I sold it on LetGo. He really liked it and said that if the buyer didn't show up he might be interested in buying it. The buyer never showed up to buy the couch, so when I called Lloyd later that night to thank him for a seamless experience with my move, I told him that I'd like to express my gratitude to Will by giving him the couch. Lloyd thought that was very nice, and offered to come pick it up the next morning and deliver it to Will.
When Lloyd arrived the next morning, I was in my driveway talking to 2 men from "Junk King" that I had called to pick up some items that I did not want to take with me when I moved. It was quite a bit of stuff...enough to fill a 10 yard dumpster. The "Junk King" told me at that moment that they wanted $800 to dispose of these items, that were all neatly stacked in my driveway. That was more money than Lloyd had charged me for 4 men to spend the whole day before moving my entire house!!!! As Lloyd walked up the driveway, I excused myself from these 2 men to show Lloyd the couch he was there to pick up. I told him in private that these guys wanted to charge me $800 to haul & dump the items from my driveway, and he was appalled that they were trying to rip me off. He said he absolutely could not let that happen. He went outside and told the "Junk Kings" that they could leave, and LLoyd & I spent 1 hour loading up his truck. He, of course, still had to go to the landfill to dump my stuff, and then come back to pickup the couch. Lloyd didn't ask me for ANY MONEY, and actually THANKED ME for giving him the opportunity to do something nice for someone!!!!
Not only does Lloyd run a respectable business that does right by his clients, but he also genuinely cares about his employees. He is a philanthropist, and a good man, looking to do God's work by seeking out opportunities to help others. All he asked is that I pay it forward when I can...and I absolutely will :)
Thank God for Lloyd! I feel truly blessed.
Amen
