Laura Rochester
I would highly recommend Mako Movers for any moving services. I moved from a third floor apartment to another third floor apartment (oh, the stairs!) and Mako Movers made the move so easy. They moved everything in less than 4 hours! Great guys, great service!

We moved from Charleston to Savannah GA. It was HOT, our house was raised up so EVERYTHING had to come down AT LEAST one flight of stairs, and then everything had to be held for two days overnight. There were NO ISSUES. Mako Movers were, reliable, punctual, careful with all our belongings (NOT A SINGLE BROKEN GLASS) and so easy to work with. I can't say enough, I'm so glad I chose them, they were very reasonably priced and delivered 5 star service.
Jennifer Schlegel
I used Mako Movers On August 9th to move from Summerville South Carolina to Seabrook Island South Carolina. They were just great and I would recommend them to anyone who is about to move. Anything I ask them to do, which included extra packing when they came, was done efficiently and cheerfully. They worked so hard on such a very very hot day. Besides being so accommodating they were relatively inexpensive. I had gotten other estimates and they were the lowest and when all was done it cost me( excluding tips( very close to their estimate. Again, Mako Movers turned out to be an excellent choice.

Mako Movers provided an outstanding service. The owner Josh communicated effectively and in a timely manner. The movers showed up on time to our office and was ready to work. They were extremely friendly, professional, and made the moving experience enjoyable. We moved into a brand-new office building and the movers was extremely careful to make sure they did not cause any damage. I highly recommend Mako Movers!

Recently moved from Charleston, SC to the Annapolis, MD area. These folks were on time, worked hard, and considering I had a wood shop to move, there was not one item damaged. Herb stayed in touch during the route, and did a great job. I would definately hire them again if the need were to arise!
Aline Mantovani
Last week we moved from Awendaw to Summerville with the help of Mako Movers. I would like to highlight ease of contact, reasonable price, punctuality, careful handling of furniture including the ultimate ninja maneuver to place a large piece of furniture upstairs. Thank you, Jilian Oleen and team!
Joanna Klosek
Josh and his team were wonderful! I had a lot of heavy stuff and a flight of stairs and these guys took wonderful care of my belongings. I will use them in the future and would 100% recommend them!

Josh's team moved my furniture and 138 boxes, without incident. They were respectful of my new home. They disassembled my furniture and put it back together in my new home, with ease. They worked very hard and were very courteous. I highly recommend Mako Movers!

Wonderful service from start to finish. They wrapped my furniture to protect it. They were very careful coming through the front door not to scrape anything. Very profesional. I highly recommend Mako Movers.
Landon Rozier
If you’re looking for professional movers that are not going to cut any corners and wrap all of your furniture top to the bottom as well as the best price, then look no further than Mako movers. Josh, the owner is phenomenal and his workers are true professionals and experts at their craft. I just cannot say enough great things about the crew. Punctual, absolutely zero damage, extremely nice and kind, and the best price that’s almost too good to be true. A +++ across the board.
Stacey Bond
Josh and his team at Mako Movers were professional, punctual and responsive to our questions and needs concerning our local move in July 2024. The team of four that came on moving day was pleasant to work with. We had an inexpensive piece of furniture damaged in the move, and Josh compensated us for the damage. He had some email account issues that slowed communications for a while, but we were able to connect and resolve the issue. I will call Mako Movers again for my next move- thanks, Josh, for your efforts!
