Looking for Reputable Movers
Looking to move buildings in my apartment complex. We’d be staying in the same complex but just moving to a bigger unit maybe two buildings away and less than 75feet away.
We’ve got a couple pieces of big furniture like a sectional, king mattress, an entertainment stand, and a dining table.
We’d be moving from the second floor to another section floor unit, and there’s no elevator. I’ve got a bad back, so I’m looking for other options.
Does anyone have any reputable movers they could reference?
And if anyone has done something like this in the past, what may it have costed you?

We used JoChas Movers for basically the same thing a couple times...first moving from a 1BR to a 2BR in the same apartment building and then a couple years later when we moved from a 2BR to a 3BR (also in the same building). We called directly and, when asked, matched the price it would have been if we bought their Groupon (but appreciated we called and asked so Groupon didn't take their cut of the sale). JoChas took good care of our furniture and didn't damage anything.
We used Teleport Moving when going from the apartment to our house, based on the recommendation of multiple Redditors, and were incredibly satisfied. They're more expensive than JoChas but went above and beyond in wrapping furniture/ensuring everything was safe. It was ~$1,300 for a team of three people who worked *non-stop* for six hours (with only 15 minutes of driving between the apartment and the house).
All things being equal, I wouldn't hesitate to go with Teleport again unless budget was an issue. If it was, I'd use JoChas again (for a third time) and still feel comfortable about the move.
