Our Story

A family-run
moving company since
1996.

Reliable Movers was founded by Mike in Syracuse, NY in 1996. Almost three decades later, the company is still family-owned, still based in Central New York, and still run on the same principle: do what you said you would do.

Most moving companies grow by signing up subcontractors and franchising the brand. We did not. Every truck on the road is ours. Every crew member is on our payroll. Every quote is reviewed by Mike or Jennifer personally. That is how we have stayed accountable to 500+ five-star reviews and how we built a reputation that brings the same families back for their second, third, and fourth moves.

When you hire Reliable Movers, you are hiring a family business that has staked its reputation on every job since the Clinton administration. There is nowhere for us to hide if we do the job poorly. So we do it well.

What we stand for

Four things we will not compromise on.

01

Flat-rate honesty

The price we quote is the price you pay. We do not nickel-and-dime, we do not surprise-bill, and we do not bury fees in the fine print. Hourly pricing rewards inefficiency. Flat-rate pricing rewards experience.

02

Our crews, our trucks

No subcontractors, no day labor, no brokered shipments. The crew that loads your home is the crew that drives your home. The truck on the quote is the truck on move day.

03

Owner involvement

Mike and Jennifer are not just on the website. They review the schedule, sign off on the quotes, and answer the phone. Family-owned in operation, not just in marketing.

04

The right equipment

We run a fleet of nine company-owned trucks ranging from 10 to 53 feet, plus piano boards, gun safe dollies, hot tub equipment, and climate-controlled storage. We bring what the job needs.
