Top company! Very kind and very professional. They worked with my schedule to move us and we are pleased. Patel

My husband is an executive for a Fortune 500 company and he was transferred ( we all were transferred... ) here from Chicago in March. His corporate people used their moving company / moving supplier for our move so we didn't really go through the moving company vetting process. It turned out that we were really lucky! The Corporation uses Silverback Moving & Storage which we since have realized IS the local, home-town moving company in Birmingham and surrounds. The team from Silverback came to our home in Lake Forest, IL two days before our move and set things up, padded so nicely and organized that when our things arrived here the same time as we did- the result was perfection. We are extremely pleased with the service and professionalism of Silverback Moving and my husband has already referred them to two of his associates. Mrs. D.

We sold our home in Rochester Hills this past June and leased an apartment downtown Birmingham. We wanted to take our time to find the perfect home in Birmingham, so we had Silverback Moving & Storage put almost everything we own into their almost new storage facility- a great decision on our part. When the nice gentlemen from the Silverback team moved us into our new home overlooking Birmingham Country Club in March we noted that all of our furniture was wrapped and padded just as it left our Rochester home. What a relief to have all of our things just the way they were (not even a spec of dust) last time we saw them. They set up the entire house per my (very detailed) instructions and we could not be more pleased. Our decision to use Silverback Moving & Storage was initially based on our practice our using local companies with roots in our area and it proved to be a good one with Silverback Moving based in Birmingham and Rochester Hills. With a heart-felt Thank You to Cameron and his team at Silverback, Anne

Silverback Moving & Storage moved my mother-inlaw from Chicago and our family from Birmingham all to our new home here in Oakland Township. They were professional, courteous and ON TIME! We could not ask for more. Mrs. William Hargrove

3 bedrooms, 2 kitties, two trucks of furniture and "stuff"... all in a day safely from Grand Blanc to Rochester Hills- Thank you Cam Schea and your great staff at Silverback Moving & Storage! I will recommend your company to anyone I know in need of moving or storage.

This is the first opportunity I have had to speak the praises of Silverback Moving and the great gentlemen who took care of our move. Silverback moved our church school two years ago and moved our physical church this past Spring- the entire congregation was more than pleased. It was natural that we would call upon them for the move of our residence- and we are VERY glad we did. The move was perfect. The cost was actually less than we expected... and all with smiles and polite demeanor. We could not ask for more. We will continue to recommend Silverback Moving and Storage to our friends and family. Mrs. Mathew Hutchinson

In the Spring we watched as our new neighbors in Rochester were moved in by what appeared to be a very professional group of gentlemen with two huge white trucks and this logo of a Silverback Gorilla. They seamed very organized and went about their business in fine fashion. A week later while speaking to our new neighbor I asked if they were pleased with their moving company and they had nothing but good to say... so I took down the number for Silverback Moving & Storage and saved it in my iPhone as my hubby and I were in the process of looking at homes in Birmingham. Well we found our new abode and hired the perfect company to move "everything we own"! Team Silverback handled every detail for us and thought of so many things relative to our move that we never would have considered. With the help of all the great folks at Silverback Moving we are now settled into our new home in Birmingham and have nothing but great things to say about the people of Silverback Moving! Truly a fine organization of professional gentlemen- could not be happier... Debra

Silverback Moving & Storage moved our corporate offices this past summer and we were very pleased on all levels. When my wife and I found our new family home it was certain we would use the gentlement from Silverback Moving for ourselves- we are very pleased we did! Everything was well orchestrated from the moment they arrived and when we were all done it was the culmination of an excellent experience. Thank you to the boss and the great Silverback Team who moved our family.

I was at a fund raiser this past weekend and saw that Mr. Cameron Schea, owner of Silverback Moving had donated a complete White Glove Move to raise money for the family of Officer O'Rourke who had been killed recently responding to a domestic violance call in West Bloomfield. I was moved by Mr. Schea's generosity and knowing I would need a moving company this week, I decided to check them out. I found that not only do they "Silverback Moving & Storge" have an excellent reputation in the greater Detroit area, but even more amazing is the amount of public service Team Silverback and Mr. Cam Schea do in our communities. I chose Silverback to complete my move from Oakland Twp. to Rochester Hills this Thursday and I must say, they exceeded my expectations for a moving company! I will use Silverback Moving again in the future and will refer my friends to them as well- a job well done! Thank you, Patricia Holliday - Rochester Hills, Michigan

The very best of service - great care given to our belongings and respectful of our family's needs. Will refer all my collegues and friends to Silverback Moving.
Sincerely, Dash Grover

Our office manager hired Silverback last year to move our offices and they did a fine job - all the ladies were very pleased.
Based on that experience my Bride and I used the folks at Silverback Moving & Storage to move her home in Rochester Hills and my home in Clarkston to OUR new home in Birmingham- a truly great experience. The men from Silverback were on-time, well organized and did a stellar job start to finish. Thank you Silverback! WK

Fine gentlemen, great job, fair price- I could not ask for more! Ms. Victoria

Silverback Moving handled our entire move from Grand Rapids to Birmingham as well as our mother for Rochester Hills over three days last month. Everything from our 5 bedroom home to my mother's retirment appartment was moved carefully and properly without a worry for us. I will sending anyone I know who is moving to the Silverback Team for expert service and a good price. Very pleased - Mr. Michael Kowalski and family

Second time we have used Silverback Moving in Birmingham and Rochester Hills - Excellent job once again! Thank you, TM

We chose Silverback Moving to move (June 2011) from Texas to Michigan. The company representative who gave us a quote (Wayne) was very professional and helpful.

The packers came fully prepared and they were very polite. They handled and packed all our things with care. The movers were also great. They came to our house on time and we didn't have any issues with them. The driver even told us the exact date as to when we can expect our things to arrive in Michigan.

I would suggest to be nice to the movers (offer them water =)) because they will be nice to you and your things. Make sure to check everything when they load your things, so they won't leave any of your stuff behind since the truck is so enormous and your things are not the only ones there. Overall, the move was smooth sailing. We didn't incur any extra charges after the binding quote was made. No damages on our things after the move. The price was reasonable and their service was up to par. I would recommend Silverback Moving to everybody. I don't mind paying extra for packers. They're very efficient and experienced. The next time I move, I will use a reputable and professional company like Silverback Moving. Beware of other companies tha will give you lower estimates but will hassle you later and call you a million times to bother you.

This is my third time using a professional moving service, and by far the best. My son and I heard about Silverback Moving & Storage from a neighbor who had used there service last year.

Silverback Moving & Storage is the best i've used yet. They arrived exactly when they said they would, not a minute later. The movers were polite, paid attention to detail and efficient. I moved from an apartment with three flights of stairs and no elevator to a single-level duplex. The move out took a while, for obvious reasons. But they moved us in within 30 minutes. And they even set up both my beds. Their rates were quite reasonable and included furniture padding and a truck. No driving, no truck rentals, no paying for gas. I will be more than happy to call on them for any future moves.

Life is too short and your time is too valuable to move yourself. In addition to hurting your back and imposing on your friends, you just don't do it enough to be efficient. These guys know what they're doing and will help get you through what will likely be the hardest part of the move. Total time was four hours. If I hadn't had such a high-level condo, I'm sure it would've taken less time. Worth every penny. Believe me.

I wanted to take the opportunity to let you know what a great job the gentleman from Silverback Moving & Storage who came out to my home last saturday did at facilitating my move. The team sent out by Silverback Moving was prompt in arriving, very professional.

We also have a 10x10 storage unit with the company. I liked that the warehouse manager called my husband personally to discuss particulars of the storage conditions. All items are wrapped prior to being stored. This extra service is the difference between their storage and traditional storage. I recommend Steve and Tyler. Excellent at what they do.

Silverback moved our parents from Grand Rapids to Birmingham a week ago. Now that we have had time to fully appreciate the great job they did in every respect, I would like to give the gentlemen from Silverback Moving & Storage a round of applaus for a job very well done. My parents were treated with the utomost respect and their valuables were given the finest of care. Thank you very much, Mary Beth McDonald

This past Saturday Silverback Moving & Storage moved our offices and engineering center to our new corporate home in Novi. The performance of the Silverback Team was nothing short of exceptional- it was a turn-key move they delivered as this morning it was business as usual in our new facilities. A+ for Silverback Moving!

I just wanted to let you know that Kevin and Matt did a fantastic job this past Saturday. They were both very efficient and took great care of my posessions and were a pleasure to be around. They packed up everything amazingly quick and unpacked it all even faster and even helped to move a couch to the basement at the other house. I definitely plan on recommending your company to anyone I know who is going to be moving. Thank you so much !

We enjoyed excellent service from Silverback Moving & Storage for our move from Birmingham to Clarkston! Our entire move went off without a hitch - it was a seamless move just as they promissed and at a good price. Ted Lasko Esquire and family

We had a very nice move from Rochester Hills to Clarkston. We like Silverback Moving and will certainly refer them to our friends and associates. Y Wong and family

We had a great experience with Silverback Moving. Given our very tight timeline and little notice to tell them when the move would happen we would likely give them a 6th star if that were possible. Our bank couldn't get it's act together, but the ladies in the office worked around it.

The 5 guys who did the actual move were great-- so efficient but so attentive (they noted which nightstand went on which side of our bed and reset our living room in the new house to match the old house exactly!!! We would hire that group again in a heartbeat.

Are they the cheapest? No. They are a full service company and so charge full-service prices. But in the tier of companies like them they were competitive, and, more importantly, they stuck to their cost estimate except when we added services. But if your point of reference is "one big guy and one big truck" then you should keep looking.

I will recommend Silverback Moving to anyone in Southeast Michigan looking for a quality move with a professional team. These guys know what they're doing!

Excellent customer service and a very fair price. Very pleased with this company and their people. RJ Grover PhD

Service was the best and price was the best - very happy!

The gentlemen of Silverback Moving moved our mother this past Saturday from her home of 40 years in Birmingham to a beautiful assisted living residence near us here in Rochester. My mother and our family could not be more pleased- they not only did a superb job and left no detail unattended, they treated our mother like she was their family. We had a great feeling for these fine young men. I Highly recomend Silverback Moving! Dr. Elizabeth and family

*****

The two-man crew Silverback sent for my small residential move was wonderful. They were polite, professional, skilled, diligent, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend Silverback and use their services again.

On the advice of our VP Research we contacted Silverback Moving & Storage for the move of our tech facilities. The VP used Silverback to relocate his family's home to West Bloomfield this past winter and he seamed to be very satisfied. The first week of April Silverback dispatched 3 trucks and 3 crews to our facilities and began our company's move- nothing short of amazing the way they had our move planned to the last desk and wire. Nothing was left after the move except a number of very happy employees at our company. Great job Silverback! CFO DataZoneElectronics

*****

The men from Silverback moved my partners' and my offices to our new clinic with such organization that everyone was impressed- and thankfull! I have already recommended Silverback to several of my colleagues. Great job! Dr. Anne

A great job start to finish. Bernard Degas and family

Rating business for consumers is something I do daily. However this is my opportunity to rate a very fine organization from personal experience- last week Our family had the pleasure of using the services of Silverback Moving & Storage. To say we were pleased would be an understatement! My hat off to a fine enterprise for a job well done.... Dale Hutchinson, Better Business News

*****

This past August these fine gentlemen moved the offices of the Prep School where I am the Head Master and did a PERFECT job without issues. We were all very pleased.
This weekend past, Silverback Moving moved our family to our new home on Lake Angelis and we could not be more pleased. I will refer all to them in the future. HeadMasterEduPrep

Our move this past Saturday from Rochester Hills to Oakland Twp was perfect thanks to the men from Silverback- they had the best price and the service was far more than expected! Job well done and appreciated. Highly recommend. Mandy

One the coldest day of January the Silverback Team moved our office suites, all 27 rooms to larger facilities- without a pause we were up and running come Monday morning! A week ago today the young men from Silverback Moving (under the carefull direction of my wife), showed up at our home with 3 bautiful trucks and the six of them went to work moving us to our new home like they were following a well writen script! Bottom line- at the end of the day my wife was VERY pleased! If I know of anyone moving their home of office I will definitely refer them to Silverback Moving & Storage for a job well done. JR and family

This past weekend our family used the services of Silverback Moving- happily so. They supplied two trucks with three men each and completed our entire 6,500 sq. foot move in 10 hours door to door (and set up, I may add). These fine young men were great to work with and left no detail unattended. I will refer anyone looking to move their home or business to these gents. Dale Westerlake and family

Back in April Silverback moved our family and EVERYTHING and we were as pleased as could be.... see our blog somewhere below on Patch. This week we used Silverback Moving to relocate one of our offices from a high-rise to our own building- like clockwork they had everything set up on-time, exactly where it was mapped out on our plans... we would never use another moving company after having Team Silverback on our side! Great guys, effecient, and more than competitive in their pricing... all is good.

I just got off the phone to thank our nephew and his wife for referring us to your company for the move of not only our furnishings, but as I'm sure you remember... a lot of art and antiques which are extremely valuable to our family (and fragile) . We could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish! Thank you.

*****

We only had a short window in which to "make our move" and we have a lot of stuff. Team Silverback sent two trucks and two 3 man crews to be certain everything would be moved in a single day- like clockwork! The charge for 3 men was the same or a little less than what the other two companies we priced wanted for 2 men. So we are happy all the way around and will send them anyone we know that is looking to move. Thank you for an exceptional job well done- Kip Dunlop

We hired Silverback moving based on getting several price quotes and they were the cheapest - guess it is true that you get what you paid for. During a short (5-mile) local move, Silverback moving caused significant damage to several pieces of wood furniture - deep gouges and scratches. In addition, they broke my daughter's dresser by standing on it - a large black boot print on top was pretty clear evidence and a prime example of how they didn't treat our possessions with the necessary level of care.

We spoke with the management and they were unwilling to work with us to resolve our issues. Overall, our experience was very poor and I believe that they have low quality of service and poor customer service. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for your moving needs.

Silverback Moving relocated my apartment in Rochester to my house in Rochester Hills. I called the company after seeing one of their trucks in my neighborhood.

The scheduling department was very friendly, and gave my husband and I some useful tips for the big day. I then received a phone call from the scheduler two days prior to confirm that we were ready for their moving service.

The day of, the crew called us prior to arriving to let us know they would be right on time. As soon as the truck and crew came to our front door they began working immediately. Did not stop until we were in our new home and the job was done.

I will deffinitly be using Silverback Moving again when I move next year. Very pleased! I would recommend the service to anyone moving in Southeast Michigan.

*****

Thank you Silverback for a seamless move from start to finish! I have been relocated 4 times in 12 years, so our family is somewhat expert on moving and moving companies... Although it was not a long move distance-wise from Birmingham to Plymouth, we still had 4,200 square feet of home to move and it went like clockwork. The price was very good, the service before, during and after was excellent and the gentlemen doing our move felt more like family and hired help. We could not be more pleased and would highly sugest using this company. Alexander G.

*****

Gentlemen - Thank you from ALL of us for a job well done! We were a nightmare for any moving company- but you choreographed our three-way move(s) like you were part of the family. Moving us from Rochester to Lake Orion, moving my sister and her family from Sterling Heights to our house in Rochester, AND moving Mom from St. Clair Shores... all in two days with no worries.

The way "Team Silverback" took care of our Mom was more than special! You guys prove that you can receive a good price AND an excellent job. Thank you very much for everything and I will highly recommend you to all. MJ

I guess we all have that dream home we watch over the years... and one day it goes on the market- bingo it's ours! Recently the one we've watched for years on Quarton Lake went up and within three days we had our name on it and could not be more excited. This has been a lucky month and a half for our family- in addition to the new home, we made some very good new friends by using Silverback Moving. One of my partners had used them recently with great things to say so we gave them a try. It took two trucks and two crews, two days start to finish (not because they were not fast and effecient- they were... we have a LOT of stuff!) and everything went so smoothly that my wife even went out and got them all gift cards when the move was done. When people do the right thing, my wife always makes a point to let people know they are appreciated. We could not be happier with the service we received from Silverback and would highly recommend. Advocate & family

*****

I was extremely pleased with the service of Silverback Moving! They were professional and insisted on being as helpful as possible. The crew arrived on time as promised, and the price was very reasonable with NO hidden costs. I will deffinitly use Silverback Moving again, and recommend them to anyone in the future!

*****

Silverback moving moved me last week, they showed up on time and didn't start to bill me until they started to move. The guys were clean cut and professional. The owner even went as far as to personally contact me to make sure everything was going well. Silverback does what they say, the best move at the best price. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to move. Thanks!

*****

I just signed up for the Patch and was happy to see these great guys listed under services. Silverback had moved our offices back in January to our new location and we were very pleased with their work and their PRICE. This past week I had them move my mother from Birmingham out here to Rochester Hills to be closer to the family... a different crew, but the same excellent service and attitude. I guess I am so use to getting marginal service that when a company and individuals do a great job- I'm almost blown away! Thank you Cam and your nice (and strong) young gentlemen that work for you. I will send everyone you way that I come across looking to move their home or offices. AAS - Rochester

Very pleased with their work, their price, and the follow-up AFTER the move. It was a pleasant surprise to get a call two days after my move (when any problems would have surficed by then) from the owner to be certain that I was 100% happy. When was the last time that happened? Obviously I was glad I chose to use Silverback and would highly recommend. By contrast, I took buns back to Kroger here in Birmingham the day I bought them b/c they were "dry" and obviously not fresh... the individual claiming to be the manager on duty made me wish I had never shopped there. Perhaps Kroger needs to take a lesson from the smaller businesses in our community and follow Silverback's lead. Susan F, Esquire

Silverback Moving relocated my family to our new home in Bloomfield Hills about two months ago. The gentleman who came out to our house were very friendly and extremely helpful. Not only did they make sure we were well taken care of in our new home, but they also were priced extremely reasonably. I would definitely recommend Silverback Moving to anyone relocating their family!
