The long-term storage is dry and secure. Make sure, however, that you make an appointment to access your vault. Unlike some other storage facilities, where you have easy access to your belongings, D&V needs a forklift operator to shift around the vaults and lower them to the ground.Coming in the morning is best. Give everyone enough time to shift around the vaults to get to yours. They may need as much as one to two hours.The staff is very helpful and pleasant.

Starting with the estimator, John Savage, I had a very good experience with this company and would give them Nothing but high marks. There was a four person team assigned to my move. They were wonderful. Very professional. they worked really well together and were very efficient. I was very pleased with the care they took to make sure none of my things got damaged in anyway. Moving is never fun, but they all helped in anyway they could to make this experience as good as it could be.

In general moving is one of the most stressful experiences ever. Daniel, John, and Casey provided outstanding customer service and were an absolute pleasure to have pack up and move my son’s belongings. They were polite and meticulous with all of my son’s furniture and belongings. I can’t say enough good things about this team and I’m so grateful that I found Davi & Valenti Movers! This was my first ever experience with a stress-free move.

Everything was perfect with this mover. First, he was patient with my ever-changing move schedule due to delays in the new construction. When time came for the move, his crew was hard-working, respectful, easy to deal with and willing to do whatever was needed. Everything was wrapped thoroughly and carefully, and reassembled as needed in my new home They even took away all the boxes and moving trash I had emptied when they finished.

We have had the help of Davi & Valenti Movers several times in the past few years for both long distance and local moves. The most recent involved consolidation of items in a storage locker and moving some of them to our home. The movers were punctual, knowledgeable, efficient, and very pleasant to work with. The move went rapidly and smoothly. We couldn't be happier. We would recommend Davi & Valenti without reservation.

Recently I had Davi and Valenti Movers in Sarasota, FL pack my household goods for a move to Michigan. I have moved several times with different companies but these guys are first class! From the moment John Savage gave me a quote to the day the truck left my driveway, they were right on top of the entire process. I was so impressed with the way they covered my furniture and handled my glass and pictures with such care. They treated everything as if it was their own merchandise! The team was friendly and courteous and extremely well organized. This is the best company I have ever used. I highly recommend them.

The absolute best. Ray and his crew are professional, hard working, friendly, courteous,and know their jobs through and through. Careful with everything, drop what they’re doing to assist homeowners with questions or projects. Adjusted their schedule to accommodate our changing needs. We used them 2-1/2 years ago and couldn’t be happier that we hired them again.Very competitive pricing. Highest recommendation possible. Thank you Ray and crew.

4 men were on time, worked very hard to package everything properly as well as move furniture. They promptly delivered the items. There were no problems, no breakage and reassembled the various furniture pieces without problem. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is literally no reason to shop elsewhere.John gave me a quote that didn't change. Nancy in the office follows through with confirmations. Very pleasant to talk to.I got the Hudson crew led by Raymond they went above and beyond the call of duty. Nothing was damaged and these people not only showed professionalism but humanity as well. Thank You. I will be calling this company again or referring them.

I just got done today with these guys and moved into my new home. Raymond and his team showed up with great attitudes and I watched how each piece was wrapped. At the end they asked if there was anything else they could do. I had someone else come quote the job and after reading the reviews and speaking with John who sold me the job, I was much more at ease at eases with them.. It cost exactly what I was quoted. Thanks John and Raymond and all the guys. I almost forgot Nancy who calls through out the job to see how I was feeling about it. I would use them again without question.

From start to finish, my experience with Davi and Valenti Movers was exceptional, as outlined here:*responsiveness: immediate (no voicemail)*honesty and integrity drives the whole operation!*professionalism: outstanding at every level*value: reasonable, with no minimum price (and I was below the estimate in the end)*The Crew: pleasant, capable, hard-working, careful and thorough, enjoyed their work and each other!*Thank you to the crew-leader Tim for taking extra time to repair my loose shelf and my storm door, and for assembling and fixing some things that were not part of the move.Thank you to Jacob, Mason and Eric for moving a huge boulder in my new yard and for taking some heavy furniture left by the previous owner.These guys were awesome and went the extra mile to make my move so much less stressful!

Very impressed with the services received from Davi & Valenti Movers. Our initial contact with John gave us a very good idea of price and work schedule. Good communication throughout the process. Kenny and his crew were exceptional people. They were friendly, efficient and extremely hard-working. Nancy, from their office, checked in during Move-out & Move-in to see how things were progressing. A 5 Star Review from me! Couldn’t have gone any better! Highly recommend.

Made a fair estimate on my move from Florida back to DC. Followed through with the move in a timely manner. Few items were damaged beyond repair. They were friendly and courteous during stressful times. They used Stevens movers and that crew were very professional also. I have moved many times and as moves go this was above average.

I have moved many times over the years. both local and long distance. I was completely satisfied with Davi and Valenti movers. they were always on time and have very fair prices. the men who did the load and unload showed were on time, neatly dressed and professional. William and Tim were all business. they loaded the truck without breaks and turned down my offer to buy lunch. th on the they followed us to our new house and repeated their performance on the offload.they took beds apart and put them backtogether. pur mattresses in protective bags and wrapped all our furniture in blankets and shrink wrapped them. I am happy to say nothing was missing or broken, and we got to sleep in our beds that night.I highly recommend them for any move you have.Philip and Paola HanaburghNorth Fort Myers, Fl.

Davi and Valenti moved us twice within the last two years. Both times they provided us with friendly, supportive service in addition to their top of the line professional moving skills. We recommend them highly. We would use no other moving service regardless of the load or distance involved.

In 52 years I have moved 14 times and no mover is more effective, willing and cooperative than Davi and Valenti. From the first contact on they were professional, accurate and actually quite pleasant. Davi and Valenti deserve a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5.

This was the most amazing group of magicians not movers. I went from a 5k home to a 2500 townhouse with ONLY a circular stairway and there was nothing they could not do. From huge bedroom sets upstairs to a piano, pool table and 20 years worth of stuff nicely divided for storage and delivery. They did not lose anything and everyone was more than helpful making sure all was ok before leaving every day. A weeklong project that could not have been handled more professionally. It was not cheap, neither is my belongings. I got what I paid for and more. Thank you again, especially Mike and John.

Company was very accomodating when my moved date changed at last minute. Price was reasonable and garanteed in writing. Movers were efficient and with the exception of one very disagreeable man, the rest made a difficult day as good as possible. I did have a small bit of damage as men were moving a huge amount of furnishings and trying to work quickly on a very hot day. I would recommend this company and would use them again.

Mike and Walter did an excellent and careful job of moving my furniture from a condo to my new home. All furniture was wrapped in quilted pads or shrink wrapped. They had to negotiate 19 stairs and never bumped a wall or the furniture. Carpets were covered and they disassembled and reassembled all of the beds for me. All work was done within the estimated time and cost. Highly recommended.
