Rating of Dowell's Moving & Storage: - CAREFUL & POLITE MOVING TEAM
Mine was a complicated move with some items going to Kelowna and some going in Dowell’s storage for an upcoming move (in a shipping container) to Costa Rica. Everything was expertly packed and it felt comfortable for the movers to be in my home.
