The company's website says it has been in business 97 years and lists free estimates. In 2024, a realtor wrote that Ken Peterson met them at a Dover property the day after an emergency call, started packing and moving a large house full of furniture the next day, and had the house totally empty three days later. That 2024 reviewer said there was no breakage and the price came in right at the estimate. A 2025 customer said Ken accommodated a change to their appointment date around the holidays, and that they were very happy with the moving process and end outcome. A 2023 customer said Ken Peterson and his crew moved items from a storage unit in Wells to Rochester and were very careful with the furniture and boxes. A 2022 customer said Ken, the owner, was cautious about how he moved things so as not to hurt himself, his crew, the customer's belongings or the walls of the home. A 2022 customer wrote that it was initially hard to connect with Ken, and recommended calling the cell number he discloses on the business voicemail. A 2024 customer wrote that a bookshelf shelf and a few Pyrex dishes were broken, and that kitchen baking equipment and other personal items went missing. That 2024 customer said he showed up alone when two other helpers were supposed to be there for the duration, that they waited over two hours for him to arrive, and that their son, who paid, was charged thousands more than he quoted. **Strengths:** - Emergency house move — a 2024 realtor said a large house was empty in three days - Careful furniture handling — a 2023 customer said they were very careful with furniture - Flexible scheduling — a 2025 customer said Ken accommodated an appointment date change - Price matched estimate — a 2024 realtor said the price came in at the estimate **Concerns:** - Damaged and missing items — a 2024 customer reported broken dishes and missing personal items - Final bill over quote — a 2024 customer said the charge was thousands more - Hard to reach — a 2022 customer suggested calling the cell number on voicemail ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.6 stars on Google from 9 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Peterson's%20Movers&query_place_id=ChIJ3aPh2D77TYQRZT7dZDD10WA) — “Google: 4.6★ from 9 ratings” - The company's website says it has been in business 97 years _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](http://petersonsmovers.com) — “Self-reported 97 years in business” - A 2024 realtor said Ken Peterson emptied a large house full of furniture in three days with no breakage, at the estimated price _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURqeTluNmVBEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x60d1f53064dd3e65!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDjy9n6eA%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I had an emergency move need for one of my commercial clients one week before the closing of the transaction.
