Service: House move
I recently had a house move with Henrique and his team, and it went wonderfully. Even though the lift wasn't fully installed, they carried everything up the outside stairwell without any issues or complaints. The team's punctuality and attentiveness made the move smooth and stress-free.

Pavel and his team did an excellent job helping us move to our new apartment in Lisbon. Everything was great, and their assistance made the whole process much smoother. I highly recommend their service.

Service: Sofa transport Lisbon–Coimbra; one-bedroom apartment move Lisbon–Porto
I used them for two moves: first to relocate a sofa from our apartment in Lisbon to our home in Coimbra. It was very quick, very easy, very efficient - they came exactly when they said, had the sofa out in five minutes, delivered within two hours, put it back together in two pieces and set it up. The next day we moved our entire apartment from Lisbon to Porto and they packed the kitchen items and all the art and frames, loaded up fast for a one-bedroom, delivered, put the TV back on the stand and our bed back together, asked where everything should go, offered to unpack, and took away all the wrapping and boxes so it was clean. Communication was great, same team both days, price felt cheap compared to what I’d expect in the US, and I highly recommend them.

Service: They helped me move from one apartment to the other
I recently used Martins Mudanças e Transportes, led by Sildomar, to help me move apartments, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the start, Sildomar's communication was phenomenal—he kept me informed at every step and provided an accurate quote, so there were no surprises. His team was professional and hardworking, they arrived 15 minutes early and finished an hour ahead of schedule, which was fantastic. They were incredibly kind and fun to be around, even though there was a language barrier; it just added to the experience with laughter. They handled my belongings with great care—better than I would have myself. I've already recommended them to three friends because of how smoothly everything went!

Service: Moved belongings to storage unit and new flat from apartment
I moved out of my flat with Reagan handling only the moving - no packing - and we did two stops, first to my storage unit and then to my new flat. He was super responsive and communicative, got in, assessed everything fast, and just started moving with a clear system. He really knew his way around Lisbon and the tiny streets with no parking, and he packed my very small storage unit with total Tetris moves so everything fit. Kind and friendly, in-and-out, and the price felt very good.

Service: Installation and movement of artworks for exhibitions
I’ve worked with Francisco a couple of times, including a much bigger show at a museum, where he handled the installation and movement of artworks with his team. He’s very experienced with works of art, always on time and courteous, and we communicated daily with no complaints. He installed very big works - not an easy thing to do - led the team well, is very technical, and listened to instructions and synthesized them into what we needed. I’d recommend him for installation of art or anything that needs moving in that context.
