A recent customer said they had hired the company twice to handle the large items in their moves, and both times the movers were professional and efficient. A 2026 customer said Aaron and Eric completed their move in frigid temperatures. A 2024 customer who had been through 12 military moves gave five stars for a move from Alexandria, Virginia to Kennebunk, Maine. A 2022 customer said the crew showed up on time to move their mother's Yamaha baby grand piano over the Christmas holiday. A 2025 Google review quoted a report that the state settled with the company over prohibited negative reviews and threats, saying Liberty Bell Moving and Storage Inc. and its owner, Kevin Finkenaur, were accused of violating the federal Consumer Review Fairness Act and the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act and must pay a $125,000 settlement. A local news site reported that the company and its owner agreed to pay $125,000 but deny any wrongdoing. A 2023 Reddit commenter in r/Maine wrote, "Don't hire Liberty Bell as your mover." A 2025 customer who was out of state on moving day said the movers missed a bed on their list and refused to go back for it. A 2024 customer said movers set to load at 8am showed up at almost 7pm on a long-distance move. A 2024 customer said the company texted at 4am on moving day that no crew was available, and the move never happened that day. A 2023 customer said the movers were 6 hours late and, when they left, backed over a rock wall and uprooted a tree. **Strengths:** - Large-item moving — a recent customer hired them twice for large items - A piano move — a 2022 customer's baby grand moved over Christmas **Concerns:** - State settlement — a 2025 review quoted a $125,000 settlement over reviews - A cancelled move — a 2024 customer was told at 4am no crew was free - A missed bed — a 2025 customer said movers refused to go back - Property damage — a 2023 customer said movers backed over a rock wall ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Its website lists locations in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Florida and North Carolina _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://libertybellmoving.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Locations Maine Auburn Augusta Bangor Bath Belfast Brunswick Kennebunk North Berwick Peru Portland Saco Win…” - A recent customer hired the company twice for the large items in their moves _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT20wemFqSjZibEV5T0ZWU1dFcFRlV2RIT1RCMlZIYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x28c60eac5321d8dc!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm0zajJ6blEyOFVSWEpTeWdHOTB2VHc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I’ve hired Liberty Bell twice now to handle the large items associated with my moves.
