I can’t say enough good things about this company. From the initial phone call until the last item was put in place, everything was handled professionally. The movers were personable and took great care with our items. They helped our move be much less stressful. Thank you!

Steve and his team were absolutely wonderful. Punctual, polite, informative and helpful from start to finish. From setting up the move to making adjustments and answering questions Steve was an extraordinary help. The team arrived on time and worked efficiently and carefully. I would recommend using this company for any moving needs!

Men worked hard and treated our furniture with respect. They had good manners and pleasant demeanors. The cost was reasonable. We'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Steve's team of movers was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was so responsive and did everything we asked of them without hesitation. They couldn't have been more polite either! They were able to get the job done very efficiently even in the pouring rain. They took every precaution to protect our belongings and home from the weather. Steve made sure to follow up after the move to make sure everything we needed was taken care. We will recommend S&P to anyone looking for movers!

Our move from PA to Ohio was flawless. Excellent service from start to finish, beginning with Steve and Dawn and ending with the fabulous crew of movers who were professional and efficient.

Steve, Dave, and Jordan did a wonderful job on our local move. They were prompt, professional, and did a great job. All 3 were very friendly and courteous and treated our furniture and home with care. This is our second time using S&P's moving services, and we will not hesitate to use them a third time. Thank you!

From the moment I reached out until the moment the move ended Steve and I were in constant contact. I felt bad at times with how many questions I had. But he never seemed annoyed and was always professional. His crew was actually pleasant. We have moved a lot, you rarely come across a mover who is enjoying what they are doing. That was not the case with Steve and his team. We moved a 4 bedroom home from Philly to Lancaster. They arrived at 9:00 am, and I was eating dinner in my new house by 5:30. Crazy! Would 1000% recommend

Today Steve, Mike, Jesse and Jordan moved me out of my house and into the garage of my new house. The stress of my new house not being finished today was eased by these 4 guys who were willing to take more than originally planned and instead of unloading to a house unloaded into my garage. They set my stressed mind at ease and I am forever grateful for them! Highly recommend!!!!!!

The whole team was friendly, professional, efficient and quick. They were skilled in the handling of large sized furniture that can be tricky. They made sure to wrap certain furniture and put padding around tough angles and on railings to prevent any damage. They also did a great job in disassembling and reassembling furniture. I highly recommend them as movers and also for storage in between moves, which was very convenient.

Called for a quote on Monday and got a call back Thursday for it. They left me a VERY apologetic VM, but who has time for that? I already had two in-person quotes by Tuesday and had booked my move 48 hour before S&P even called me back?

If you want a stress-free move, hire S&P! Absolutely fantastic company. The crew- Dawn, Dave, Jordan, J.R, Jose, and Lynn were amazing to work with. Not only did they make the move easy, they made it fun. This company deserves 10 ⭐️!Thank you, Steve! Worth every Penny!!!

I don't typically write reviews...good or bad...but I would be completely remiss in not doing so in this case. These folks were outstanding...from beginning to end. Communication throughout the process was what you hope for to reduce the stress of any move.The crew that did the move...again more than I expected. Every piece of furniture was wrapped, not one ding in the walls, these guys hustled. One typically thinks when quoted a price and an estimated number of hours that the job would get "milked"...not these guys...they finished early.The crew was also engaging and took pride in the job they were doing. It was hard just trying to stay up with them on what went where when they arrived at our new house.Many thanks to Steve, Dave, Jordan, Mike, Luis and Jose for a job well done. Thanks to Dawn as well for all her prep work.If you're looking for movers...this is the outfit...

S&P was outstanding to work with. Our movers - Angel, Lewis and Jordan - were early and just absolutely lovely. We moved locally, and everything was handled quickly and in a professional and safe manner. They made sure things were done safely due to the pandemic. They made sure our carpets and walls were protected, and they even rebuilt our bed!I wouldn't hesitate to recommend S&P to anyone looking for a mover in the Harrisburg area.

Jordan, Eric, and Dave were our movers and they did a fantastic job. Everything carefully covered and transported. They even rolled out this waterproof carpet thing so they didn’t track snow and mud all through the house! To be honest, they took better care of our stuff than we would have.When it was moved to the new location, they placed it how we wanted it and then even built the bed again!!Overall, I couldn’t be happier with their service. I recommend this to anyone who is moving. 🙂

We contacted S&P to help move my in-laws into their new home in Carlisle, PA. The moved from Maine and had their belongings put into storage in Mechanicsburg. S&P had the best estimate out of 4 other local movers, and their great communication and professionalism was reassuring. Dawn was great in setting everything up and Lynn, Dave, Jordan, and Eric were total pros! Careful and speedy! We will definitely use S&P again.

We absolutely can’t say enough good things about S&P!! The entire team( Dave, Jordan, Lynn and Eric) were so kind, respectful to us and of our belongings, and timely. They put cardboard on the walls of any hallway and stairs that would be traveled along, as well as protection on the floors. We opted to have our kitchen packed for us, and not a single glass or dish ware was broken. Such a great convenience to us. We will highly recommend this company to any family or friends looking to move. From our start with Dawn coming out for the estimate, to emails with Steve and then our interactions with Dave, Jordan, Lynn and Eric, we are so happy to have chose S&P!

S & P movers were wonderful from Day 1! Dawn inventoried everything very carefully. When her estimate was received, it was easy to understand and follow. When we called her, she was very prompt in getting back to us to answer questions.On moving day, Steve and his people were polite and had everything packed in record time. On move in day, they made a stop to deliver some furniture to our daughter then came to our new home. Everything went smoothly at both stops.

This was the most painless move I've ever had. From start to finish the entire S&P team was exceptional. Shoutout to Dave, Jose, Josh and Jesse for their efforts in doing the heavy lifting and making it look easy. Also, Steve Douglas, for the timely communication, and he had everything lined up and ready to roll before those 4 even got to the house. There was not a second of wasted time. They were efficient and got done in less time than expected, which saved us some money. Absolutely a great crew and would recommend to anyone. Thanks!!

Just had a fantastic experience. I moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Never used movers before and now wondering why. Great price and great work. They were very friendly staff on all ends. Dawn, who i spoke with while placing my request, was very helpful and informed. Jordan, Eric, and Dave were excellent movers. Efficient and friendly. And Steve, who kept me informed throughout the whole process. Highly recommend them for any type of move.

I was very pleased with S&P and the nice people I dealt with through the entire process of moving from Elkton, MD to Mechanicsburg, PA. I had several setbacks to my move and S&P was very kind and patient in working through all my setbacks and making it work. The moving folks took very good care of my stuff and were extremely accommodating in putting things where I needed them in the new house. Highly recommend S&P!! Thanks Dawn and Steve

Amazing moving company that I highly recommend! Everyone I have met with was extremely professional and passionate about their jobs. The commutation throughout the whole process was immaculate. I left packing to the team and wow I have to say they did not hesitate on using layers and layers of protection! It’s been a few days after my actual move date, and I still remember the lovely people, and many details and moments that I enjoyed working with S&P. That truly says something! 🙂

I recently moved from OH to PA and am very glad that I made the right decision to hire Marathon. They are a small company and I guess that is why they can have excellent quality control. Used their full packing service for everything including my oversized artworks—highly recommended! The owner Steve is very much down to details and he actually works with his team on the move. I found it reassuring to work with him as he was honest and straightforward, without overpromising or sugarcoating anything. The movers, Dave, Tyrell, Jordan, and Rob, are all punctual, hardworking, and decent ppl. The consultant Dawn always made sure to answer my questions in time. Will definitely hire the company again if I have similar need in the future. A rare gem in the fishy trade of relocation.

Moving can easily be one of the most stressful events, but Steve and his team made everything go SO smoothly for us. From my first inquiry to delivery day of our items, Steve has been incredibly responsive, helpful, patient, and KIND. He genuinely wants to provide his clients with the best service all around. Our moving day team was efficient, respectful, and so meticulous in how they cared for our family's belongings. I can't say enough about our experience with S&P. And... if we ever find ourselves making a move again, they will surely be my first call. Thank you, Steve & team!

Polite. Professional. Prompt. Prepared. These guys are beyond worth it. Trust me, just pay the little extra money and let your fears and worries wash away. They didn't scratch or dent a thing in our house, wrapped everything meticulously, put everything together in the new house, and kept to their target time. We loved the guys so much we bought them lunch on both days. Tremendous crew. Incredible work ethics and manners. Uncommonly good across the board.

Moving is a stressful. It, to say the least, requires a great deal of planning and trust in the selected moving company. Arranging a move in a pandemic is an extra stress that no one could have anticipated.Steve Paparoudis was incredibly patient as I, not once, not twice, but three times (!) changed my move date. I had hoped this Covid virus might go away! I never felt a “this-is-how-it’s-done” pressure. I felt a partnership in navigating these uncharted waters of life in 2020.I had the crew pack my belongings with the extra challenge that some of the things were to go to storage and the rest went to my new home. Again, I felt respected in how I had organized my belongings and grateful to see their system of keeping details in order dove-tailed nicely with mine.On packing/moving day I found the crew felt like a team of old friends. They knew what they were doing and had done this together many times. I felt a confidence that this was going to go well. I have moved seventeen times (!) in my life and have experienced quite an assortment of mishaps (including unwrapping rotted garbage because the packer didn’t think to not include it in my shipment).I have unpacked my belongings and am pleased at how things have arrived in-tact. Quite remarkable. In fact, when I found a box carefully labelled “fragile" (and to be top-loaded only) was found under two rather heavy boxes, I kind of held my breath when I opened it. Inside an antique three-foot statue emerged unscathed. Mistakes will happen. This is a given. What is unusual is that It had been so well-wrapped that it did not get damaged.I recommend S&P Network’s Marathon Moving Solutions to be your solution to moving. Pick this local business and you won’t be disappointed.

Steve and his team did a wonderful job and communication was on point from start to finish. I was a bit nervous about some of my delicate furniture, but he confidently explained their process and everything came out great. While I received estimates from another company that was somewhat lower in cost, in the end I could not place a value on the care that was put into my items and having peace of mind during my move. Excellent teamwork and highly recommended

Steve and his team did a superb job during our move. They were professional, friendly and courteous. The movers took special care of our items being moved and the houses by protecting walls and floors. Steve performed exemplary working with us to prepare for our move. Steve was punctual, flexible in finalizing our list of items to be moved, and accurate in providing us a cost estimate for our move. I would highly recommend Steve and his team and plan to call them again for our next move.

Moving with Steve and Marathon Moving Solutions – in the midst of the pandemic – could not have gone better. We had a two part move where we packed up a house we had sold in Mechanicsburg, PA, put the majority of our things in storage for two months, then moved down to northern Virginia. Both on the front side with packing up our Mechanicsburg house, as well as on the back side with moving into our Virginia house, Steve and his staff were prompt, efficient, and very easy to work with. Steve even met us at the storage facility a day before our Virginia move so we could add a few things to the load that we couldn’t move ourselves. Finally, my wife and I have used many moving companies (4 – 6), both good and bad. However, even the best ones never did one thing that Marathon Moving Solutions does – they put small numbered stickers on each of our items to make sure they don’t lose anything in storage or in transit. I’m not sure if they only do that for loads that are going into storage or for everyone, but it was an especially thoughtful touch that gave my wife and I peace of mind that none of our things would be lost during the move. Moreover, they were far cheaper than the next best mover in town. We can't recommend Marathon Moving Solutions any more highly!

Steve was fantastic to work with. He kept me updated at all steps along the way. He was responsive to questions and was professional at all times. During the day of the move he made sure to keep my belongings safe while also ensuring not to damage the house while moving in and out. His quote on the move was lower than any others I spoke with. Highly recommend using this company

I used S&P Network's Marathon Moving Solutions for a recent long distance move in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic. A stressful situation became pure relaxation with the help of S&P Network! The crew was extremely professional and took great care and pride in their work. My furniture was not damaged at all, and the crew made maneuvering through a high rise apartment building easy! All my pieces were wrapped and handled with care. I could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the day.Furthermore, the crew wore masks, which I found very professional and put me at ease. The price was just right, and I appreciated the inventory of my belongings as well as the professional contract/estimate to sign. The company was also responsive within minutes of my inquiry to help me move, and continued to be responsive and on time up until the very end. Thank you S&P! I would highly recommend this business for any move, especially if you are in the Central PA/Harrisburg area!

Well, if you're looking for top notch service and value, look no further. I have moved 18 times in my life and seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in moving companies. I can say without a doubt Marathon is among the very best...if not THE best. The Owner, Steve, is as knowledgeable, professional and responsive as possible. He is really a cut way above the industry standard. His price quote for a long distance move was the best I received. He also made the move from PA to Texas happen on short notice.As for the packers/drivers...My property was all in a storage facility, formerly moved there from South Carolina by a sub-standard mover (All My Sons) who did more damage than they did anything else. In taking inventory, Steve pointed out the damage due to improper, or in some cases no protective wrapping, and Tyrell did his best to get things properly secured and protected. It was obvious Tyrell cared about the quality of his work. Jordan loaded the truck expertly and he and Scott drove to TX. Upon arrival, they unloaded quickly, efficiently and with care.I'm a lawyer and a perfectionist. So when I tell you that I recommend this company without hesitation its the highest possible praise.
