Other movers aren't so dependable, giving rough estimates that are mere guesses. Some even quote prices over the phone without even seeing the job first.

Tim Johnson of Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage has heard of this tactic, too. That's why his company does things differently.

But Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage has 40 highly-trained employees who have all passed rigorous background checks and have extensive training. "Our movers are different from those at other companies," vows Tim Johnson. "Our clients expect a professional crew, and that's what we give them every time.

Our movers are smart, and they really think about how they can make the move easier, safer and better for our clients."
