Here's what it actually costs, which local companies are worth calling, and what changes when you land in Florida.

- State license: 5382-D | DOT: 3372702 | 70 years in business

Seventy years in business in the same market is a real track record. Of 166 reviews, 93% are positive — crews get consistent credit for speed, care, and professionalism, and multiple customers specifically mention fragile items arriving intact. Both field crews and office staff are praised for proactive problem-solving rather than just passing you around. Negative reviews are rare, but when they appear, they involve long-distance damage and slow follow-through on claims. If you want a company with deep New Orleans roots and a long history behind it, Lee is worth calling.
