These guys were true professionals and the move went great. I contacted the office manager Jackie about two weeks earlier about moving some large dining room furniture (table, chairs, china cabinet) as well as a grandfather clock from San Jose to Half Moon Bay, about 50 miles. I was interested in ML Movers because they received high reviews on both Angie's List and Yelp, and I was especially concerned as the items to be moved had been in the family for several decades and therefore had high sentimental value. The items to be moved were all very large and VERY heavy. Jackie assured me that ML Movers were professionals and that all of our furniture would be thoroughly protected during the move with all blankets, plastic wrap, and tape provided at no extra charge. She also told me they had experience moving grandfather clocks. (FYI, moving grandfather clocks safely is not a trivial matter as the weights, pendulum, and clock mechanism all require special handling BEFORE moving the clock. we opted to pay extra and have a clock repair specialist come to the house to properly prepare the grandfather clock for moving a few days BEFORE ML Movers were scheduled to move our stuff.) As this was a single room local move we opted for the hourly $95/ hr rate that included a truck, 2 movers, and all required materials... 4 hour minimum... With the driving time from San Jose to Half Moon Bay being charged at twice the normal hourly rate as required by state law. At first I thought the total cost was high to move a few pieces of furniture... Since I am used to getting free delivery when I buy new furniture... But after watching how hard the 2 movers from ML Movers work, I think we got a bargain! The team was scheduled to arrive in San Jose between 2:30 and 3:30 PM, but arrived an hour early at 1:30 PM. We were not quite ready for them as the china cabinet still had items inside it. We told Peter, the driver, that we needed 10 minutes to empty the cabinet. He told us not to worry as the hourly clock on our move would not start until we were ready. Once they started these two guys were awesome. Our first big scare was discovering that the very large dining room table was not able to be disassembled. A huge problem considering the table weight and the fact that the though the house in San Jose had double entry doors, the house in Half Moon Bay only had a single extra-wide entry door. We decided we had to go for it anyway. The team quickly wrapped every pieces of furniture in blankets, wrapping plastic, and tape. They used all packaging materials generously to thoroughly protect everything and quickly loaded everything in les than 1 1/2 hours. They then followed us on the drive to Half Moon Bay which took less than an hour. Upon arrival in Half Moon Bay I showed the team the dining table and china cabinet that needed to be moved our of the dining room to the garage before the San Jose furniture could be moved in. It should be noted that the Half Moon Bay house has a reverse floor plan so that the dining room is upstairs... Through the single-wide entry door and up a big wood staircase. The guys took it in stride and soon had the old furniture transferred to the garage on the new furniture safely installed in the upstairs dining room. We were so glad that large dining table from San Jose was able to be maneuvered through that door! I cannot say enough how careful these guys were with our furniture as well as with my precious wood floors. They worked very hard and had a great attitude. Those pieces of furniture were HEAVY and watching those guys struggle getting them up those stairs with no complaints was amazing. Not a single scratch on anything! ML Movers employs true professionals... And we're worth every penny they charged. We tipped the guys well... They deserved it. Great job. My ONLY negative comment has to do with the move insurance offered... Or lack of I should say. ML Movers only offered the basic 60 cents per pound insurance, which was covered in the hourly rate fee. Although we had very heavy furniture, this would never come close to covering the true cost of repair or replacement should something have been damaged. I almost did not use ML Movers because they did not offer me the option to purchase the more expensive replacement value or replacement cost insurance like other moving companies do. Based on the previous reviews on Angie's List I crossed my fingers that it wouldn't matter and went with ML Movers and had no problems... But I still wish they would have offered the higher insurance options.
