Quick and easy move. Christian explained everything thoroughly, he answered all of my questions prior to the move. Once my team Joel and Adrian arrived they were prompt, professional, and very accommodating. I will definitely be using their services again

Everything was 1st class. Scheduling was easy. Pricing was good. Carlos and Mike showed up early in the two hour window, ready to work, looking clean and professional. The truck and equipment was immaculately maintained. The whole experience was fantastic.

Mike Rivera of Ferguson Moving and Storage brought my grandmother's 114-year-old grand piano halfway across the country and delivered it in perfect shape. He and his colleague took extreme care in unloading the piano and setting it up, to protect both the piano and our wooden floor. They were extremely friendly and professional, and knew what they were doing. Our family has often used Ferguson's over the years in moving from one house to another, and have always been impressed by their professionalism and dedication.

We would definitely move with John Ferguson Moving again!!! They were on time, they worked hard to get the job done and loaded. Furthermore, we arranged for them to be at our new home and they were there again right on time and worked hard to do everything that we asked them accomplish. There was no damage to speak of, and even the boxes that we packed were in good shape. All of our goods were accounted for. Great price, a great moving company, and good people!!! What else can you want???

They assisted me in moving a piano and were able to accommodate me in very short notice. Mike helped me to obtain a quick quote, and scheduling the move. While there was a bit of a wait time as soon as the movers showed, everything went by pretty quick. The moving team were super courteous and professional. Will definitely consider them in the future. Thank you!!

I hired John Ferguson Moving and Storage to complete packing for a long distance move.

John Ferguson Moving & Storage was literally the answer to our prayers.My daughter and son-in-law had an horrific moving experience with another moving company who left about a third of the contents of their 3-bedroom home behind because it exceeded their over-the-phone estimate of their weight limit.My daughter had to report to her new job, so my husband and I told her we'd take care of getting the remainder of the contents of their home to them.We began our planning process to rent a truck, load it, and drive it to them from El Paso to North Carolina... until we received a flyer in my daughter's mailbox for John Ferguson Moving & Storage. Whether it was fate, or divine intervention, our prayers were answered. Mike provided an on-sight estimate and gave a very fair quote.I'm sorry that I did not get the names of the gentleman who helped with the first part of the move, but on Super Bowl Sunday, they showed up and did an outstanding job packing up the rest of the house. They never complained about carrying bookshelves and heavy items down a narrow staircase, and they were most appreciative of the meal we provided them; great group of guys!The second part of the move was just completed. Marcus and his crew delivered and set up the items. The hardware for mounting the television was misplaced during the move, and these gentleman went and purchased a kit to mount the television for them.My daughter is pregnant, and the help these gentleman provided her and my son-in-law is so greatly appreciated!We are so satisfied with this moving company, that we have scheduled a local move with them for next week.Thank you, Mr. Ferguson, Mike, Marcus, and ALL of the crew that helped with both moves. We TRULY appreciate you!

We had a great move with this company! They simply could not have been kinder or more flexible from beginning to end. Our movers, Adrain and Mike, were super professional and carefully wrapped all of our furniture to prevent damage or soiling. They treated our home like it was their own and kept us informed every step of the way. They cleaned up after themselves from departure site to destination. This was one of the very best moving experiences we have ever had. Thank you all for a job exceptionally WELL DONE!

This company, JOHN FERGUSON MOVERS AND STORAGE, is one of the best I have dealt with. They moved my delicate collections with care. My baby grand piano arrived without a problem.

As always, John Ferguson Moving and Storage did an excellent job. This time it was to unload a rental truck that we brought from Ft. Worth. Have had them move numerous items for me and they have done many moves in town and across the country for friends. They are always courteous, professional and hard working. Never any time wasted and always take great care with what they are moving. I highly recommend them

Excellent Moving Company! I was sent two movers (Koker & Jolley) who both rock!! They moved a Washer, Dryer, King Size Bed with Mattress, and Entertainment Stand from a 2-story home to a 2-story apartment from Far East all the way to Central El Paso under 2 hours with NO damage!!! Not to mention the bed needed to be taken apart and re-set up as well as setting up the washer and dryer. I will definitely be requesting this moving company and those 2 movers on my next move. They were very fast and friendly!

I was very satisfied with the trio of professional workers that completed my move. They were very hard working to the point I told them to take a break. They assembled all the furniture that needed assembling and were very efficient. Thanks to Mike, Gilmore and Danny, in no particular order. You guys were outstanding.

17:33 01 Aug 23

Couple of great employees showed up Early (unheard of here) and pulled everything I needed out my storage unit and delivered without incident. Thanks Again!

Packers were timely and professional. Most packing was done, but they finished the job in one day. Loading and moving was the second day. Everything went smoothly. Just took quite some time only because our furniture is VERY heavy and large. Brought in second truck the same evening to finish loading everything. All items stored in their cold storage until we closed on the new house (a few days later). Unloading was quick, they came earlier than expected, which was fine, the new crew for unloading were extremely professional and efficient. The crew of four finished unloading everything and set up beds in five hours.Nothing broken, minor dings on patio furniture and some artwork wasn’t wrapped as it should have been, but all is good. Only one incident but was resolved by management. I recommend using John Ferguson Moving for your next move.

Moving is always stressful. Working with a company that listens, is responsive and ensures quality service greatly reduces the stress. We hired John Ferguson to pack, load, store and deliver to two different locations just over 18,000 lbs of household goods. A complicated move.We are a military family that has moved often and have seen the best and the worst of this industry. Our move with John Ferguson was hands down the best move we’ve ever had.Our pack and load took a bit longer than usual as the crew was smaller than we’ve had in the past. They communicated well with us — showing up when they said they would and making adjustments when we felt things needed to be done differently.Usually when our household goods have gone into storage we’ve seen a painful amount of damage. This time we only had almost no damage! Such a relief!Our unload day went very smoothly and the team stayed until we were satisfied with every aspect.At every turn I felt John Ferguson went above and beyond to ensure we were given top quality service.Thank you for making this move so smooth and even fun!Gratefully,The Eacandon Family

The movers and people who (presumably) worked at the office were always incredibly kind, and graciously helped us out with moving some additional furniture at no additional cost (and the initial cost was already extremely attractive). Thank you to everyone who helped with our move!

This was such an easy experience from start to finish. Scott was my liaison to set up everything. Then on move day- my movers were Mike, Carlos and Carlos. They were awesome!!! It was brutally hot out and they got it done quickly and under the estimate. They handled everything with care and always checked with me to make sure stuff was in the right spot. I will definitely be using John Ferguson again for any future moves. Easy, great price, and very professional. Thanks again!

Our experience with John Ferguson moving and storage was absolutely incredible! We had several obstacles occur which they took in stride, including the need for the truck and team to stay overnight which was not in the original agreement. They really reached out to us and never missed an opportunity to be of service. The quality of the move was exceptional as well! We recommend them without hesitation for your move as there are none better.

This was our first time using John Ferguson Moving. We moved from El Paso to San Antonio. It started with a recommendation from my friend, and after spending some time reading Google reviews and getting three quotes from different Companies, we decided to go with Ferguson. The quote from Scott and John Ferguson Jr. was the highest price I would pay, but depending on the weight the price would drop. So I made sure to get rid of as many things as possible, and my price dropped $800 dollars!!! I was very organized and well packed by the time the truck and crew arrived. I got my boxes from Walmart and Amazon, and having more or less the same sizes in boxes, makes this so much easier for all. I received text and emails with updates on The Move day, and had an arrival time from 8-10 am. At 7-45 am on Thursday, I got a call letting me know they would arrive at 9 am. And they did. Angel was in charge of it all, and within less than 3 hours they were done. Packed our sectional, TV’s, dressers, art decoration, etc. in plastic wrap or blankets. The pick up went smoothly. This was Thursday morning, and I was hoping for them to arrive on Friday, to get this done as soon as possible, but due to other issues, they were not able to do so, but at the end, it worked out even better for me, since I was able to fly out to San ANTONIO and get things organized and cleaned up before they got there. I had to work Saturday at 12 pm, so I asked Angel if he could drop off very early. So Saturday morning, he texted me at 6:30 am… ready to deliver!!! That was AMAZING!!! If pick up was great… drop off was phenomenal.. he and his brothers, Isaac and Kain, did all in less than three hours!!! Super kind, helped me put together some items I needed help with, and always asking if we needed anything else. I was impressed. So, thank you all!!! And if you read this till the end…. I DO RECOMMEND JOHN FERGUSON. Thank you all, and God Bless you.

The movers did an outstanding job moving, disassembling and reassembling all the items we asked. Victor and Lencho were very courteous and professional throughout the whole process and took great care when moving our items. I definitely recommend John Ferguson Moving and would use them again if I need them in the future. Outstanding!

Linda G.

The estimate process and scheduling the move could not have been simpler or more pleasant. We had our move scheduled and at the last minute our closing date changed! Yikes, I thought but rescheduling was the easiest of all the dozens of other tasks that needed rescheduling. Christine was so professional. Move and packing day came and 3 of the sweetest and most helpful men appeared at our door. We thank you each and praise your names Alonso, Sergio and Angel! Thank you John Ferguson Moving and Storage. We are now in our home sweet home because of you!

I called in a bit of a panic because I needed to move a baby grand piano in a short time frame. From the first person, I spoke to to the gentleman that showed up to the house to move the piano. They all were very professional, very courteous and respectful of my late grandfathers, baby grand piano as if it was one of their own. So thank you for working with the timeframe that I had. My hat goes off to all you guys.

The overall experience is good. Only couple of remarks: first, I told Scot when I scheduled my move that I have a pool table. Also, when they called me a day before to confirm, again I told them about the pool table. However when the guys showed up, they were very surprised about the pool table. They said the management did not say or tell them anything about the pool table.The second thing I experience was that someMinor damages happened to my furniture but they said they will take care of it soWe will see.

Hevin A.

03:36 18 Sep 22

My only critique would be answer your phone😆 LOL other than that, impeccable outstanding service all around! Extremely competent when it comes to moving baby grand pianos. Thanks guys for a JOB WELL DONE. Keep up the good work and never let this level of quality and customer service decline.
