What Clients say About Us

Kattaylorsmall

Hercules was great to work with. They arrived on time, had a team of very competent and friendly guys who treated our possessions with respect, including our piano. They were quick in disassembling and wrapping our furniture and seemed to have a lot of experience with Ikea stuff (which we have a lot of). They worked hard and kept us within the budget. I highly recommend them.

Private Mover

I had to move my entire food operation in a day. Hercules quoted me quickly and showed up on site 2 days later ready to move. I was worried about all my expensive and sensitive machinery but they pulled it off safely and without issue. Very reasonably priced and highly recommended. Great company.

Sashac

We were so impressed with the way these gentlemen delivered our piano that we have been talking about it for days now. They were very professional and efficient and knew exactly what they were doing, from the moment they took the piano off the moving truck right up until they put the piano together. Not only were they amazing at what they do, they were polite and courteous and very accommodating when it came to figuring out the exact placement of our newest addition to our home. We will absolutely hire them to help us move when/if we decide to as we know we can trust them to handle our possessions with the utmost respect.

PriveUser

This company is the best delivery services. Specially 2 strong man delivery the Piano U1 48" for me... Both young strong man very nice service. They are very care for the product they delivery. Great job and I will recommend these Montreal movers to all my friends or anyone ask me for delivery.

Becky

Me and my husband had to relocate Becker piano, which I inherited from my grandmother, and since the piano was antique and pretty expensive, we couldn’t let just anybody to transport it. It’s so easy to damage a piano without the right equipment and technique. That’s why we took the advice of my friends and had chosen Hercules piano movers, as the company that inspires trust due to their experience. To our delight, a piano was transported on the same day without any problems or damages.

Nicole

I would highly recommend Burlington movers, they were extremely professional, punctual, and careful. The team worked very efficiently in terms of wrapping, and handling it with prudency and cautiousness. Although they were carrying my piano through a small and narrow hallway ed Victorian home, they were able to do their job with ease and care. They certainly made what i would have thought to be impossible seem easy. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the move, and will definitely use their services in the future. If you're looking for Burlington movers definitely choose the best!

Nancy Powell

Hercules assisted me in moving antique furniture. Igor who arranged the move for me was prompt in returning calls and updating me on timing for pickup and delivery. The drivers both in picking up and delivering were punctual despite bad weather conditions. The employees were very courteous and helpful. All furniture was carefully wrapped and reassembled on delivery. I would not hesitate to recommend Hercules to anyone for a complete move or for speciality moving.
