Do not use these movers. Ron Calfo will quote you a low price then after he has a truckload of your possessions he will demand more money. Calfo never finished the moving job for us. Afterward Ron Calfo ignored our calls and our requests for insurance claims. We had to move over half of our possessions ourselves. We tried to sue Several lawyers agreed we have a good case and would win but the cost of litigation is more than we would receive. Our attorney checked and said Calfo has done this before and there is a pattern of s... read more

Beware, beware, beware!!!! Calfo never completed our move despite having signed a "binding" contract. Charged us more once they had a truckload of our belongings. Calfo took no precautions to protect our furniture, 95% of our furniture was damaged. When we called Ron Calfo for insurance claims or our many other problems he just gave us the runaround or ignored us. Very, very poor service. Beware, beware, beware!!!!!!

I am very disappointed with the way our move was handled. First, they gave us an 11am-2pm time frame, which was moved back multiple times resulting in them arriving at 6pm to move our storage unit to a new one. When they arrived the truck they brought was 1/3 of the way full. This resulted in them being unable to accomplish the job they were hired for. Most, if not all, the items that were left in our original storage unit would have fit in the 1/3 of the truck that came pre-packed with (we were told) pianos. Since, Linda sa... read more

I have moved with Calfo three times so far and every move has went great. I have a Baby grand piano that other movers have really struggled with in the passed. But when Calfo came they didn't have any problems at all. I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was for them. I first seen Calfo down at the Pittsburgh Ballet moving pianos for Modern Piano. They were having a piano show down there for the weekend. I witnessed the Calfo crew move at least 100 pianos that day. At the time I was moving within a few mouths so I called... read more

Great movers they are the best movers that I have ever used. I move a lot because of my work, and since I've used calfo red line I wont use anyone else. I have a 9ft baby grand piano that I perform with all the time all over the US and calfo takes it everywhere. I have never seen a company wrap a piano like they do, so that every place on the piano is blanked and safe. They were just as carful when they moved my apartment into my house. By far the best movers in Pittsburgh.

I obtained several moving quotes prior to selecting a vendor. Calfo Red Line Transfer was recommened to me by a friend, and they were by far the best price as well as the most reassuring quote. During the other two quotes I received, the salesmen made it a point to tell me all of the things they did not move and all the things the "I" had to do to prepare for the move. Ron Calfo (the owner of the company) not only came out and gave the quote personally, but made it a point to tell me everything "they" would do to make the mo... read more

I was quoted $700 for moving out on a Tuesday and moving into the new place on a Friday with an up front deposit. The Tuesday the young guys arrived and they were diligent and courteous and packed up and loaded my one bedroom in about 2 hours. They do not take as many precautions with the items as other moving companies in my experience such as covering large furniture with blankets to avoid nicks and scratches, covering mattresses, putting flat screens in tv boxes and taping down all drawers to prevent sliding. At the end o... read more

pretty good service, laidback but getting the job done – Nice people, older people knew how to pack the van real well. Please note they do NOT take credit cards (or if they do, must submit real early) and must use cash or certified check. They were off on packing on the same day, but my family and them worked on something to respect the workers as they were put in an unfair situation in my opinion.

" a moving experience" – 3 days before Christmas we were scheduled to move. This was the first time in 80 years that we used a transfer company as our children live out of State. Calfo's owner and estimator quoted a price to pack and move @ $1742.41 and said it would take 11 hours. The first guys to arrive denied any agreement to pack some of our remaining heavier items, which panicked me. The day of estimations I was told if the customer chose to pack their own boxes, those boxes would not be insured. (We did move about 30 ... read more
