Lighthouse and Crew
Lighthouse moving was the best choice for my move! I wanted a small local business for my move from Minneapolis too St. Paul. John was very professional and the pricing was reasonable. The two man crew were not only highly efficient, they were courteous and seemed to care about the work they were doing. I would recommend Lighthouse anytime! Meghan

Professional for a reasonable price
Lighthouse Moving moved me from townhouse to townhouse last fall. Moving is so stressful but Lighthouse made it a good experience. They were efficient, professional and very reasonable priced. I highly recommend taking the stress off yourself and hiring Lighthouse.

I was very pleased with our move in April. We had Lighthouse Moving move our furniture, while we had family members more our boxes. It was the most competitive of several companies I called. The team was respectful and hard working. I would definitely use again.

I had a very bad experience with another moving company. One guy gave me a quote, I agreed. When I called the next day to pay the deposit, another guy answered but refused to take the deposit and told me to leave a message to the guy who gave me the quote. I was upset. It was Saturday, 11 days from my scheduled moving day. I searched desperately and randomly online. I read google reviews and called several companies. Either only in state moving, or more expensive, or leave a message and they would get back to me next Monday. John answered but he was too busy. He said he would call me back one hour later. He did. I told him my situation and the quote from other companies. He asked my house rooms and driving hours, then gave me a quote, 30% cheaper than the other company even when I told him how much others would charge! How honest and decent a businessman is! On the moving day, three young men came on time. They are very very professional and friendly. Tim is smart, techie, and fun to talk. Kevin is hilarious. He cheered us all during the stressful moving process. Carey was quiet but kept the moving smooth. Shortly after, it began to rain hard. The rain slowed the moving and driving. The actual time was two hours more than expected. It is totally reasonable and still, the final bill is lower than other companies. As an immigrant, I can't help thinking America is great because people like John and his team. They have high standard, high working ethic, and kind heart. And I am sure they will pass the value to younger generations. Thank you, John, thank you, Carey, Tim and Kevin.

I needed some large, heavy furniture moved at the last minute to be able to show my house, which is up for sale. Lighthouse Moving was able to accommodate me. The owner was even willing to come out and help himself if his other crews were booked. That was not needed as it turned out, but how lovely! The crew that did arrive was professional, courteous, on time and very good at their job. They made it look easy! Their willingness to help me at the last moment and to do it so well was truly a gift.

The freight company didn't fulfill their job and left two huge storage units outside our building. We frantically called several moving companies and John said he'll try to get somebody to help us move those items inside our condo later that day. Well, they arrived in less than an hour and performed the job just great!

★★★★★
Professional services from the first call, great communication all the time, I had some special circumstances that had me change my move date the day of, they were flexible and worked with me to meet my needs. Helpers are also professional and friendly, I also had friends helped me, they all got along really well and I even had my price reduced on extra services as I ended up needing them due to how fast we finished. The owner is a very nice person, as a BIPOC I appreciate that even from my first call (getting a quote) he made it a point to pronounce my name properly if your name is unusual like mine you might be able to sympathize with me haha.

Amazing moving company! By far the best & fastest movers I've had! I've moved several times and lighthouse moving has been the easiest and most helpful team I've ever encountered. Genuine and trusting people. I highly recommend you use them, you'll be thankful you did!!!

Let me start by saying that I didn't want to hire movers, but my wife insisted. I was very impressed; the movers disassembled and wrapped everything, taped the power cords to every electronic, and reassembled everything back at our new house. Money well spent!
I would recommend them to anyone, especially those worried about the high cost of hiring movers. We called three other places and they were all more than $350 higher than Lighthouse.
I see one review said they were a day late. There isn't a written contract as some other pricier companies offer, but we had three days to move out so coming the next day wouldn't have been the end of the world to me. And I'm sure that's extremely rare. They were on time for me.

I was moving from one house to another about 2 miles away, and I knew I'd never be able to move all our stuff myself. Our previous move one year earlier and been with a big national company and had been a horrible experience. Just unbelievably bad, and so expensive. I knew I didn't want to deal with one of the big boys again, so I began searching on craigslist for ads. Of course that led me to a bunch of junk, but also to some legitimately licensed moving companies.
I narrowed it down to three companies and got quotes from each of them. In the end I went with Lighthouse Moving because the owner, John Hathaway, was responding to my questions himself, and the level of communication from him was much better than the other two companies.
I am not sorry that I chose them.
I hired them to provide a team of three movers and a truck, at a reasonable hourly rate. All three guys works really hard. There was definitely no going slow to pad the time. They did a decent job, and treated me with respect, which is a lot more than I can say for the horrible movers from the big national company.
I tipped them willingly, and I'd use them again in the future.

Very highly recommended!
Had to move last minute and were available fairly quickly and very reasonably priced given the driving distance of the move. Very friendly and were extremely careful. All done in one day! Thank you!!

Excellent service!
The movers were exceptional. They worked non-stop all day under difficult weather conditions and were good humored and very easy to work with. We were so impressed with how hard they worked and never complained about the challenges they faced. We will definitely recommend Lighthouse.

Got back to me very quickly about a quote and availability. They were very friendly and worked with me to get it done ASAP. Communication was great and they were ready at the time we discussed. Very fast and efficient movers who got the job done quick, but were very careful and didn’t damage anything. They even finished up in less time than quoted! (Please don’t underestimate your move though! I made sure to tell them how many heavy items/furniture I had and the square footage of my unit during the estimate process) I would highly recommend these guys! Please tip your movers people!”

I am in the process of moving from Minnesota to Tennessee. My moving plans changed several times due to the unpredictability of my job and the schedules of family that could help me. I spoke with John a few days before my scheduled move, and he was SO incredibly reassuring and helpful, saying they could come help me pack the truck on the morning of my move, which was 2 days away. Due to issues with my truck, I had to reschedule last minute to the next day. John was so accommodating once again! And then, most unfortunately, I had to make the decision to leave large furniture items behind, and so would no longer need movers at all. John, again, was kind, empathetic, and reassuring, even though I wouldn't be able to use their services at all. Lighthouse Moving could not have been more accommodating and flexible, and I am so grateful to have interacted with them. They made this stressful process a little less overwhelming, even without actually helping me move. Thank you John, and everyone at Lighthouse Moving!!!!

Kevin and Rick did a great job. They were on time and were fast, but careful. I’ve used LightHouse several times as has my sister. I’ll only use this company from now on. The owner checked in the night before, brought boxes and followed up. Exceptional company!
-MC Edwards
★★★★★
I was in the middle of not knowing how to move as the person who was supposed to help me wasn’t available anymore. I’m glad John picked up the phone call and agreed to help me move on a Halloween Saturday! Very kind and helpful person, with all good recommendations. I found a friend:) I would totally recommend them for an easy, pleasant move!

hey were able to fit me in within a few days of my call and it was very easy to set up an appointment. Did a great job wrapping and packing my large furniture and carrying it up to my second floor apartment. Did a great job other than a few minor nicks on my computer desk. Would definitely recommend.
-Claire Christenson

Couldn’t be more pleased! My movers showed up on time, ready to go. Very professional. They waisted no time and had the apartment cleaned out in no time. They packed and secured all the furniture and boxes easily into the 16ft moving truck. Nice job!

I used Lighthouse Movers to move across town during a snow storm. Four movers arrived and quickly loaded up the truck. At my new residence, on the 3rd floor without an elevator, they brought in my 34 boxes of books, furniture and many other boxes. It was, I’m sure, one of their more difficult and back breaking moves. They did it cheerfully and without complaints and were fun guys to work with. I would definitely recommend them. I used them on recommendation by my sister who used them years ago and couldn’t say enough good about them.

I have worked with John at Lighthouse Moving several times - we move a lot - and each time they impress me. They are careful with our things so never any damage or even scratches, they are flexible when the inevitable unexpected happens and I have gotten competitive bids and they are also a great value. You won't find anyone to work harder and care more than these guys!

I am very happy to recommend Lighthouse Moving after the very good job they did moving my elderly mother within her senior apartment complex. Two very accommodating young men carefully moved what we asked and patiently worked with us to fit and re-fit several pieces of furniture into her new space. It was a pleasure to work with nice people!

I highly recommend everyone to use this Lighthouse local business. It starts with the owner John who explains everything ahead of time. Next, the 3 workers who came on time and neatly wrapped all of the big furniture items. All 3 workers were very polite. They aren't the cheapest nor the most expensive, but definitely the best overall . I will be using them again for any future moving needs.

Great service, professional. Lighthouse moving located in St Paul was a great experience. The movers were very polite and treated my belongings like it was theirs. There was a couple items that I didn’t mention to move and they called me to make sure it was supposed to be moved or not. The movers kept in contact with me to let me know where/when they would be. Charges were upfront and John the owner is a great guy. I will definitely use Lighthouse in St Paul again when I move into my forever home.Thanks guys.
