Steven Mongold

I would highly recommend M.C. Movers for your moving needs!! They were able to get us moved same day, 2 hours away , and on a Sunday!! Matt, Gary, and Michelle were incredibly professional. They communicated with me all day providing constant updates of their progress on their current job and an expected arrival time to my place and moved us at 10PM!!! Did I mention all of this on a Sunday?! Again highly recommend M.C. Movers!!!!!!

Derek & Cammy McCleskey

M.C. Movers did a wonderful job moving a baby grand piano and two very fragile antique pieces for us. The team was knowledgeable about piano-moving, and they spent a lot of time carefully preparing and wrapping all items to ensure that everything arrived in perfect condition. They worked late into the evening and then agreed to delay, at our request, the delivery to the second of two planned destinations. We were very happy with how the move went for us and would highly recommend MC Movers to others!

Lynn Nocera

M.C. Movers helped me move my mother’s possessions from her Winchester home to a storage unit in Woodbridge. The owner, Michelle, was very helpful, her movers were extremely careful with everything being moved, and the price was very reasonable. They also helped remove several old non-working tvs to relocate them to the landfill. I highly recommend this company and will use them again in the future.

Keith Cunningham

Great team worked fast and very professional lots of comradeship and they hype each other up more like a family than movers Michelle Kevin Clayton & Milton were great will use in the future and refer to family and friends

Joshua Bolin

We called Michelle in need of a quick move for some of our office furniture. We got quotes from several companies who claimed to be in Winchester, they were not. And those quotes wanted us to pay for them to come to town for the move. We called M.C Movers on short notice, and she and her team knocked out our job fast, professionally and far below the quotes of other “moving” companies. Would highly recommend if you need moving services in Winchester. It will be worth your call!

Brenda CRONK

We had a family member pass away this year and ended up with the daunting task of removing 10 years worth of accumulated stuff. Michelle and her team made it easy. We went through removed what we wanted, they came in and hauled away the rest. They took a huge weight of my shoulders. They were helpful, polite and were constantly hustling. I truly am glad I called. Decent rate, worth every penny.

Dave Angle

Had an great experience. They were professional, careful and in the budget. I would definitely use them again! Thanks M.C. Movers

Rachel Boyd
