Grogan Brothers Moving Storage

I’ve used them twice. Careful loading, cheerful guys, on time and on budget, zero problems.

These guys were incredible! I’ve never seen such a happy and upbeat group of movers. They definitely took the stress out of moving day and looked like they were having a good time! They took care of our furniture and everything arrived safely. I would definitely recommend them! Quick service and excellent quality of movers! Would choose again!

Grogan Brothers is horrible. I will briefly describe what they did, and let you decide if you want to hire them.
I was scheduled for a move to an apartment across town at 8:30 am on a specific date. I was all packed and ready to move, and my current lease was ending that day. Once 9:00 am rolled around and they weren’t there, I called. No response. I left a message on their voicemail. I called every 10 minutes for the next hour and a half, leaving several messages. I finally got in touch with their secretary at 10:30. I was told that I was on the schedule and that she did not know where the truck was. She said she’d try to find out and get back to me. I did not hear back from her, and tried calling several more times, again to no response. In the meantime, I called every other moving company in the area, and no one could move me same day.
Grogan finally picked up the phone again at 1:00 pm, and gave the exact same information as before: don’t know where the truck is, she’ll try to find out. At 2:30 pm, she called me back. I was told that the truck was behind schedule, and they would be able to start moving me at 4:30 pm. Suffice it to say I didn’t have any confidence that was true. Thank God a friend of the maintenance guy in my apartment happened to have a truck and was able to help me move that afternoon.
Grogan Brothers is unprofessional and irresponsible, and (frankly) the people who work there seem obtuse. They apparently have no way to contact their drivers on the road, their employees don’t arrive until 10:30 am when customers are moving at 8:30, and they hardly ever pick up the phone. And they seem to think it is OK not only to arrive 8 hours late for a move, but to not even let the customer know. There was no apology, no offer of a reduced price, no suggestion that they did anything wrong – this appeared to be par for the course for them. Grogan Brothers did quote me the cheapest rate of any other moving company – I guess you get what you pay for.

Very good team. Top notch. The guys were nice and they did a tremendous job packing the truck with the space they had. I would recommend these guys! The price was a tad higher than others but they provided an extra guy to help which sped up the time.

I was very excited to use a small local company for my move from East End to the South Hills back in August. The movers were friendly and fast. However, they broke my antique roll top desk in transport. Two months and many, many phone calls later, I am still waiting for it to be fixed. I have been promised several times that it would be repaired with no cost to me by the owner, but I have yet to even get a phone number of the furniture repair person. I can’t express how upset and disappointed I have been by the post-​move service and follow up. Contemplating my next steps to rectify the situation…

Just finished a move from within Pittsburgh.
4.5 to be exact but I’m rounding up today.
I had scheduling issues as well. But when they did arrive they were professional «movers.» They fit a Q bed, frame, couch, lounge, futon, and appx 20 boxes in a van in 1 go. While moving, I had 2 large couches that had to fit into narrow doorways and they knew what and how much to raise, lift, tilt, maneuver the tricky puzzles. All the while being mindful of the door frame and the furniture itself.
Another note to add, during the initial schedule, they were the only company that was available on a weeks notice for a end of month weekend move.
Pros
Professional moving know-​how
Efficient
Competitively priced
Cons
Scheduling (but it pays to be persistent)

Definitely competitively priced. Communication is not their strong point. I scheduled a move and called back a bunch of times, leaving unreturned messages to ensure it was scheduled and that they had received my signed contract. They were about 1.5hr late for the move («staffing issues») and I was somewhat turned off by the comment «you don’t have to tip us but if you do make sure you give it to us each, I don’t trust __[another of the movers]__.» Mind you that person had clipped $ 10 bills to his shirt to show that he accepted gratuity
That being said, the move was very quick and relatively painless once they got to work. One of the movers, Rodney, definitely knew what he was doing and instructed the others on how to carry items properly. Luckily, he did the packing of the breakable items as well and was very careful to wrap items numerous times.
They bring their own moving blankets and I appreciated how they wrapped the couches and mattresses with saran wrap to prevent damage, it seemed to help.
So, other than the sketchiness as above, the move ended up going fine with minimal damage to the walls and items (definitely a plus). Would I go with them again? Yes, if I could ensure that they had a crew with at least a few people who had moved before

This moving company is fantastic! Not only were they the most competitively priced, but they were one of the most professional movers I have ever used.
I was moving furniture from Pittsburgh with 2 stops: Detroit, MI and Lima, OH. These guys got the job done with flying colors.
You will not be disappointed!

«Packing Genius» — I hired Grogan Brothers to pack a 17foot Uhaul truck. When I made the appointment, they gave me tips on the packing supplies to have on hand. When they arrived to pack the truck, the team, in particular Ron, were smart, fast, and experienced. When I arrived at my destination, 700 miles later, nothing was broken or damaged, and the guys who unpacked the truck had an easy job to do.
In addition, Grogan Brothers were priced lower than other movers I called. Overall, they earned my stamp of approval.
