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!

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.

Ted Kohler
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!
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!

Kelly McDavid
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.

Sara Howard
Working with Mako was the best moving experience my husband and I have ever had. We had our 5 bedroom house moved from SC to DC, with the same crew at load in and load out. Josh (owner) is a pleasure to work with and offers very fair and transparent pricing. His team of movers are kind and professional and used great care in handling our belongings. They were even understanding when my move in date suddenly changed! Highly recommend Mako Movers!
Beth Raposa
I used Mako Movers for a move in January 2024. The entire experience was excellent. I did not have a positive experience with my last move, so working with Mako Movers was such a relief. I received a moving quote the day I called. Movers arrived on time and did an excellent job. The mover in charge made sure that the process was handled in an efficient manner and kept everything on schedule. Everything arrived to my new home and was moved in without any damage. I was very pleased with everything and would highly recommend Mako Movers.
Taiwan Brown
I am very thankful for Mako Movers. The owner was very kind. He even offered to come by for a pre-check since I thought I had much more stuff. The movers arrived on time and packed the truck quickly. I have a lot of photography and digital media equipment, the team used much care with my items I would definitely recommend this company.
