The movers were great. They arrived a little late due to traffic, but worked very hard, dealt with dozens of trips down the stairs, were friendly and polite, and had good insight in arrangement in the truck! We would definitely use them again! Victor seemed in charge and was very professional in every way.

Movers | John 3:16 Movers

This is the second time I’ve hired John 3:16 Movers and would recommend them to anyone. The team works fast yet carefully, and does an excellent job with visualizing where things need to go in the moving van/pod. This job was for loading a storage pod and things fit perfectly like a puzzle - the team unloading at the other end commented on how well everything was stacked. I would use them again!

Both of the gentlemen worked hard and fast. We were holding a garden planting day. I hired them to ensure we had enough help for the event. They were respectful and hardworking. They actually completed the job in about an hour and a few minutes. So grateful for their assistance. Would definitely hire again. Thank you

Lately, I have been choosing movers that have been stressing mout all the time. It took a while for me to want to move from one store to the next matter of fact 3 years because I have been stressed out so bad with other movers. I don't know how I found John 3:16 I thought I clicked on something else but John 3:16 came up. I decided to try them and I'm glad I did.

We had an outstanding experience with this moving team and cannot recommend them enough. Lamont and Kaneith From start to finish, the Kaneith and Lamon were professional, kind, and incredibly respectful. They took great care with every item, treating our belongings as if they were their own. Not a single thing was rushed or handled carelessly—they were extremely cautious, especially with fragile and valuable pieces. What really stood out was their attitude. They were friendly, patient, and easy to work with throughout the entire process, which made what is usually a stressful day feel smooth and manageable. If you’re looking for movers who are reliable, careful, and genuinely take pride in their work, this is the team you want. Thank you both for such a great experience!
