From my first phone call for advice up until the movers left, everyone I dealt with was friendly, helpful and professional. Angela provided straight forward advice and helped me make important decisions about my move. She send a ton of resources; information about how to pack and what to clean, checklists and more information than I thought I needed. And she patiently answered all my questions. The movers showed up on time and ready to work hard. And work hard they did. The were friendly, professional and always made sure that everything was the way I wanted it. Even before they left they made sure that everything was set up in a way that made sense for me. I recommend Sparta Movers with no hesitation.

My friend recommended Sparta Movers because of the upfront costs. Angela was very thorough and did a great job with the quote and questions for our complicated move. We ended up using Sparta for storage as well, since it would be 3 weeks in between each mover.Maurice and his team did a fantastic job. No scuffs on the walls, everything packed tight, and they were very careful with our furniture. They worked hard and were professional throughout.On our second move, the movers were professional and there was not a single scratch on our walls. They made sure everything was in the right place and that we were happy with it.The total cost was very reasonable and even better than their competitors. I've heard horror stories from my other friends regarding broken furniture etc. so I am very happy that i went with Sparta. Moving is stressful and hard physical work. Best to go with the real pros. Tip the movers because they deserve it.

We hired Sparta Movers on 2 occasions: in June when our children moved and then for our move in July. The phone service was excellent and we appreciated the detailed report of all the information discussed which was emailed to us and could be updated. On both days, the crews were on time, extremely hard-working and concerned about doing fabulous work. This company really listens. It was evident that both crews had taken the time to read the report and were knowledgeable and concerned about our requests. This company communicates very effectively via email with a pre-move checklist and a text message to let you know the truck is on its way. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sparta Movers as they made the booking arrangements and both moving days stress free. Thank you Sparta Movers!

I called Sparta for same day move and I had movers at my door an hour later. Dominic and Fazu (sp?) were fantastic. My moving day was very stressful and I would have been stressed to tears if I didn’t have their help. They were early and speedy, they won’t waste your time. When the first tries at moving my ridiculous IKEA furniture up stairs were tricky, instead of trying to make it fit and scratching my walls they quickly disassembled everything and took it up piece by piece, and IKEA furniture sucks to take apart and reassemble. Glad I had them instead of bugging poor family members.

Excellent! There are no other words to describe their manner and conduct.We Had an awful experience with our previous movers (not sparta) and so we were hesitant to do it again. But Slava (I think he's the owner) came to our home to give us a quote, took the time to explain the process, what to expect, and how to prepare. This in my opinion was above and beyond.They sent reminders to us to confirm they were coming. We also had packing services and omg they finished an hour before expected with less material and thus we were billed for less than quoted!The Packers were professional and polite and the movers as much so! Polite, knowledgeable, and funny.I will be recommending them to our realtor.Ps. Cross posted on other sites!

It was incredibly easy to get a quote online and someone contacted me the very same day to confirm the details of my moving needs. Pricing is fair and reasonable, service is top-notch.Our mighty movers, Ken and Fazio, showed up in the timeframe promised and got to work quickly. Both of them were courteous and professional throughout the process. Ken even remembered me from when he moved me the last time.My partner and I were very impressed with Ken and Fazio's speed and manner of service. They helped make our move easy and stress free. If you're thinking of you're next move, I highly recommend choosing Sparta Movers.

I had a short timeline to find a mover and when the one recommended to me never called me back, I called Sparta as I had seen them on Instagram. Everything was easy - from the call on the phone, getting a quote, booking the move, the reminder before moving day, all great. Then the day of the move the team showed up- on time- - they were polite, friendly, professional and listened to our instructions. Nothing was damaged - in either home or any of our items. I've moved over 20 times in my life and I would definitely recommend Sparta over the 'big box' movers. If we move again, I won't hesitate to give them a call.

I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with Sparta Movers! I was very stressed about the move, and when I ordered the service I under booked the amount of time needed to move everything. Sparta movers was more than accommodating, even bringing over extra men to finish the job! The price for this was pennies compared to the work they did for me! The movers were all very nice, and went over and above to move and place everything! I will never go to another moving company!!! These guys are real Sparta!!!! Also, it rained the entire day and these guys were soaked to the bone and didnt even care! Thank you Sparta Movers!! You are amazing!!!

Had Sparta do my move this weekend, and to be honest there are not enough stars, they are a 10 Star worthy moving company. Not only did they do my move quickly, they are masters of figuring out moving problems, I would have bet a million dollars they wouldn't get our king sized bed frame and mattress up my stairs in my new house, but those three gentleman worked together to get it done. Same goes for the large sectional that went downstairs, super Stars. I signed when they started, I signed when they finished, they made our moving day stress free, fast, and easy. Even when parking was terrible, they figured it out quickly. If you are not booking Sparta Movers for your next move, you are not getting the 10 Star service you deserve. Thank you so much!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Slava and his team were excellentFrom the first day that I booked to the days leading up to the move, Slava was in constant communication with me.I asked to push back my residential move a few days before the deep freeze in Calgary and he was able to accommodate me despite their busy schedule.This 3 man crew were very friendly, courteous and professional.I recently referred Sparta Movers to another friend and they just completed her move and she had an excellent experience with themGreat job!!!!

Exemplary Service at reasonable costs.My experience with Sparta Movers has been a pleasant and worthwhile one. I required office movers to come in and do the heavy lifting for us, and I decided to give Sparta Movers a try. They came in well prepared, with optimistic and brilliant attitudes, ready to take on the job. Each one of the employees at Sparta demonstrated a high level of customer service and courtesy for our belongings. On my move, supervisor Artur was respectful, professional and kept his employees motivated and engaged throughout the duration. Gurp, another supervisor I presume through his leadership and control, was a great conversationalist and a brilliant young man. Overall I am very satisfied and will definitely recommend to friends!

We had a great experience with Sparta Movers. They truly exceeded all our expectations from start to finish. An estimator (Artur) arrived at our house on time and after a quick walk around our house explained everything and comfortably answered all our questions... and we had a lot of them. We got quotes from other companies. Sparta was not the cheapest but was very reasonably priced... and trust us, you do not want to go with the cheapest movers (from our previous and first hand experience moving). On the moving day, a crew arrived on time and worked tirelessly until everything was moved in our new bungalow and put in places. We gave our movers tea, snacks throughout the move and, oh boy, they were happy and in our opinion worked twice as hard. )))

I was a pain-in-the-butt customer. I know that. I asked for quotes from 10 different companies to move a very specific list of items. The quotes I got back varied wildly, some doubling others. I picked 3 companies who had better responses than the others (not necessarily cheaper, but seemingly more interested in winning my business) and continued pressing for more accurate quotes. I found that Sparta went above and beyond to earn my business and I was satisfied with the final quote. The actual move was like clock-work, even finishing earlier and further reducing the costs of the service. The guys were super friendly, hard working and careful, and even moved a couple of items that unexpectedly came up without even a hint of complaint. A great experience overall. I'd highly recommend Sparta for your moving needs.

It's hard to write a positive review if you're giving 5 stars because will think there must be some ulterior motive. But we used Sparta and they were great. Actually we had 3 hard workig fellows who woud happily pause holding huge loads and ask where we would like them placed. You'd think they were moving giant Faberge eggs they were so careful. Nothing got scratched dropped dented or anything. The guys never took a break and actually finished ahead of schedule and I paid less than the estimate. I recommended them to family who were equally pleased with the service. Having previously experienced a bad move this was a happy change. We wil look forward to using them again. They are cheerful, and seem to genuinely happy to be t work. They actually treated our possessions as if they were there own. Use these movers.

We recently hired Sparta Movers (2 movers, 1 truck) after a friend had recommended them to us, and we were really happy with the services from both the crew and the admin team. The crew (Ahmad, and the driver - I'm sorry I can't remember his name) were professional, arrived on time, and nothing was damaged in the end. We would definitely recommend Sparta to anyone looking for professional movers!In fact, I had requested quotes from 4 moving companies (all had over 4.5 stars on Google reviews and at least an A on BBB ratings), and not only did Sparta beat all the other competitors in terms of pricing, but they also provided lots of information up front regarding the move, so that there were no surprises from them when it came on moving day. Thanks for making a very stressful day less stressful!

Great experience using Sparta Movers. After a referral from a friend at work, I decided to use Sparta as the company to move us. From the first email, everything was as professional as you could ask for. On the day of the move, i received a call from the workers and they advised me that they were doing truck checks and once that was completed they would make their way to our house. They were right on time, looked over all of our belongings and then read our contract out to us, showed it to us and then had us sign it. The moment that was done, they got to work and I couldn't be more impressed. The guys had our stuff in the truck so well stacked that every inch of the truck was used and all of our things fit.To deliver to our new house the truck had to be on a two lane undivided highway and during that trip a car tried to make a pass of 6 other vehicles causing the moving truck to partially hit the ditch. They handled the situation very well. Upon arrival we checked for any damage and if anything had shifted. To our surprise, we lost one tequila bottle through it all. And we aren't even sure if that happened during the transit. Everything else stayed in place and was unharmed. The guys had our house of 3 bedroom and 2 levels loaded and unloaded in 5 hours.Well worth it and cannot give these guys enough praise. The price is very comparable to all other companies and I think you need to look beyond price. Look at quality of work.To Arthur and Enzo, Thanks so much for making our moving day much easier and having an amazing work ethic.

Three men and a big truck at a very reasonable price. They were on time and were very polite and professional. Impressed with how they shrink wrapped all the dresser drawers and provided mattress covers also. Only one sad face.... the quote said 5 complimentary wardrobe boxes and they only had 2 that they could give me. I had all my stuff moved into a self storage locker which the movers did exceptionally well to get it to fit. All three men worked well together. I would most definitely refer Sparta movers to anyone who needs a moving company. Will be using their services again in 3 short months. Thank you.

Fantastic service. The movers treated my stuff with care and were definitely pros. They used blankets, tape and shrink wrap to protect my furniture, which is something not typically done in YYC unless you're booking a long haul move. The security guard that attended to the door commented to me that in the hundreds of moves that he'd supervised to date, these were the best that he'd seen. Nothing was damaged. They were careful, efficient, and accommodated my special requests. Booking was a breeze (I loved the online booking tool, though I did have to follow up with a call), reminders sent, courtesy calls made the morning of to tell me their ETA. Top notch experience. I will definitely use them again.

These guys were excellent.Two young fellas showed up promptly, moved my girlfriend's stuff into the truck, then drove to my place and loaded my stuff up fast and efficient.For moving from two places into one, involving elevators, they were very fast and all-in-all, took 3 1/2 hours.The prices were very fair. No "three hour minimum" payment crap.Only damage we could see was a small little nick on the back of my IKEA bed. But I didn't care because it was IKEA.They didn't mull about or take breaks.Definitely going with these guys again if we ever move. Fantastic experience.
