Moving Tips
What Our Customers Are Saying
We are very thankful for Cardinale Moving and Storage. When we bought our home in 1999 who would have thought that we would store all our new furniture and French antiques in your warehouse for 11 years. It was amazing how well you catalog all our new furniture, numerous containers from France, all our limestone and building stone materials from France along with the 3 trailers filled with numerous outdoor items. I was always so impressed when we needed one or two items how you were able to find them amongst 52 vaults in your warehouse. The true test of time came on our move-in WEEK in May, 2010 when everything started to enter the house. It was a flawless move and NOTHING was missing or damaged. You also handled our Atherton move-in the exact same manner but luckily for us that furniture was only stored with you for 1 - 2 years. We encountered many contractors, subs and vendors over our 11 years of construction but Cardinale was our one saving grace that stood by us through thick and thin!!! We will be forever grateful. Thank you to everyone at Cardinale Moving and Storage. It was a definitely a team effort in every way.....
