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

Everyone (Steve, Lynn, and Rob) made the day as stress free as possible even though it was the first time I was alone on a moving day. Professional with a sense of humor. Speedy but cautious with everything. Came well prepared. Good experience overall.

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! 🙂

Nobody hates moving as much as I do! But S&P was great to work with and made my move very stress-free. Dave and Lynn arrived early, got right to work, and were very professional. I would highly recommend these guys for anyone needing a quality moving company.

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!

Marathon packed and moved us from Harrisburg to Carlisle. Their packers were great as were the movers. First class service. The moving truck was beautiful, super clean! Everything was moved on time, efficiently and cared for like it was their own belongings.

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.

Steve and his team were great from start to finish. We did a complete pack and move to South Carolina and can't imagine having done it any other way. They were on time, worked hard and took care of our stuff as best they could the entire trip. Every person that came in our home(s) were nice, courteous and professional. Steve was responsive, helpful and informative from the moment we reached out through a month after we moved in. He even scheduled a handyman to come take care of a few moving dents from big heavy stuff coming upstairs at our new home, and paid for that as well. I'd give 6 stars if I could and will recommend to anyone we can convince to move south with us!

Steve came to the house and looked at everything I wanted moved, then gave me his estimate. Far superior then someone just doing it over the phone. On the day of the move, they texted me with their ETA and arrived on time. Tyrell and Jordan (and Steve for the first hour) were thorough, professional, had great attention to detail and were efficient. They foresaw all possible situations and were able to keep my items safe and secure. They appreciated that even though my items didn't have great financial value, they were priceless to our family with memories. They were fabulous! I highly recommend them! I plan to use them again when I need to move these same items from storage to their new home!

We have used Marathon Movers twice now. Their prices were reasonable and they were easy to work with. The guys were very careful with all our stuff and I was impressed at the care they took to make sure that no walls or railings were damaged. Great experience, I would definitely hire them again!

I am disabled and knew that I couldn't do this move with just me and my husband. When I went searching for a mover after talking to Steve I knew he was the guy. The men on the team Tyrell Darvis mark and, Jordan we're all gentlemen and treated me like a queen that day. Even when we thought things were missing they did everything in their power to try to find it until we realized it was Wayfarers fault for not sending all the pieces. They laid out a red carpet to not get my brand new house dirty. I even recommended them to my friend. We really couldn't have did it without you guys! Thank you very much.

The movers were efficient, careful, and made our move 100 times easier to our third floor apartment. Between moving multiple pieces of large furniture, taking apart and re-assembling our cabinets and bed frame, and transporting multiple televisions, Steve and the entire crew were polite, and happy to work with us. My partner and I will certainly be using them again for our next move. I would highly recommend them for the price and quality of work you will get in return. Thank you S&P!

In fact, I hired them based on a recommendation, and I am so happy that I did!
