## The honest read

AFE - Allen Family Enterprises moves households and hauls away junk, and it holds 5 stars from 14 Google ratings.

A 2021 customer said Derrick and his team moved everything from a 14th floor apartment in Harbor Point to a new house in Springdale, from large dressers, beds and a piano to glassware and art, and that it was all wrapped and moved in without a single issue. That 2021 customer said Derrick was communicative throughout the process. A 2022 customer said AFE moved an entire house from New Milford, CT to a townhouse in Stamford, CT, carefully packing and unpacking everything, and stuck to the agreed schedule.

A 2022 customer who had interviewed 6 moving companies said the piano was handled with care and no items were damaged in the move. A 2022 customer said the company moved a medical office and installed all the heavy furniture on the 2nd floor of a new home office within one day.

A 2022 customer said Derrick and his team cleaned out a basement filled with unwanted furniture with a house closing a few days away, and got it done on schedule and on budget. A 2021 customer facing a load of junk in the garage before a holiday said Derrick Allen was the only one of three vendors called who answered the phone, and that he showed up on time. A 2022 customer said Allen Family had removed junk from their house on two occasions and called the rates reasonable.

**Strengths:**
- Piano moves — a 2021 and a 2022 customer each described a piano moved
- Junk hauling — 2021 and 2022 customers each had junk removed
- Clear communication — a 2021 customer said Derrick communicated throughout the move
- A one-day office move — a 2022 customer said it was done within one day
