Best Moving Companies Near You

Local & Long Distance Movers In Your Area

Moving soon? Regardless if you're moving across town or to another state, it's important to take the right steps up front before you hire a moving company near you.

Step 1: Know whether you need to hire a short distance or long distance mover. Many companies consider over 100 miles a long-distance move. Also consider if you need help packing and unpacking, need storage, and need other additional services.

Step 2: Do you research. Interview several movers. Learn as much as you can about the history of the companies you are considering including reading reviews and complaints.

Step 3: Ask the right questions. Ask about rates and estimates, if the company uses subcontractors, if there are additional fees and when they apply, if there will be transfers, about their insurance, and about packing and storage services. Request referrals.

"The guys called 30 minutes before arrival and were on time. They were careful with our furniture and wrapped it well with sheets before moving. They were quick on their feet in moving all items of a 2 bed 2 bath apartment into the truck in 90mins. Quick unloading into the right location within the house. Very friendly and cooperative movers. Highly recommended!"

"Itâ s hard to trust someone will take care of your stuff while moving. Los Angeles Movers was here to reassure me that all my stuff would be safe they have a very professional way of doing things. All my stuff made it to my new house in perfect conditions. When it comes to Los Angeles Movers they have done an outstanding job of getting everything done. The best part about it was it was all done same day. Really hard working group of people. Thank you once again."

"I used Eagle Moving And Storage to move from San Bruno , to San Francisco . It was a very last min Move . Price was more competitive than other companies I spoke to, and quickly sent me an inventory and pricing. Once I confirmed I would be using them, customer service ( John ) called me to establish a payment method. The guys who packed up my apartment showed up early (which was awesome) and were quick and efficient. Shout out to Clayton , Diego & James . I chose to pack up most of my things but the larger things like my full length mirror, TV, couch, dresser, dining chairs and artwork they packed up with great care. I was amazed at how well they wrapped everything in plastic and blankets and more plastic. The Movers were as nice, professional and efficient . They put everything back together and in the right place, and helped clear all of the boxes. Again, pricing and paperwork was super transparent and I was very comfortable with the whole process. Overall, this being my first time doing a Local move with a moving company ( usually I rent my own truck ) I was so nervous, but I really didn't have to be. The process was easy, clear and priced competitively. Also none of my stuff was broken or misplaced. Most importantly though, the guys I worked with were so nice, and didn't pressure me about tipping or anything (which of course I did anyway). All in all a great experience, and I will absolutely recommend Eagle moving to friends and family! "

"I first called this company and they gave me a very competitive estimate. The day of the move, the movers arrived on time and did a great job checking everything and disassembled whatever was needed. They were also very fast and efficient. They were able to help us with whatever was needed. The price was fixed and was exactly as quoted. Highly recommend Air 1 Moving for any type of moving!"

"They did the impossible to accommodate me on the date I needed. Also they treated us patiently and respectfully. They showed up 15 mins after promised hour, but I consider this a small detail compared to their great commitment. I was pleased that they took great care of all our stuff, they were so careful when loading and unloaded each piece exactly where we wanted, I barely lift a finger. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with this company."
