Reviews of Movers Near Your Location
NorthStar Moving Company
NorthStar moving company made our move as smooth as a move can be. They were on time, worked hard and fast, everything arrived in one piece and the cost estimate was accurate. Not sure what else you could ask for!

We hired them for a local move. The coupon was great. They did a good job. They were a little late, but they called and it wasn't a big deal.

California Movers Local & Long Distance Moving Co.
The staff arrived at our apartment on time and they were all wearing masks. They handled all of our furniture, appliances and personal belongings with care. I was impressed of how quick they assembled, disassembled and packed our stuff. Upon arriving at our new place, they asked us how and where our furniture and appliances should be placed and they made sure that everything is in order before they left

NorthStar Moving Company
These guys are awesome! They are fast and easy to work with! They came on time and took care of everything. They three guys that came were very nice and easy to talk to, and they got started right away. End of the day these guys are the best moving experience I’ve ever had.

It was fine. They were really friendly. They were interested in giving quality at a good price. I know them because they are my neighbors. They treated me really good and I'm sure they treat all their customers really good. Their prices are very reasonable.

Everything was smooth from start to finish. I'm glad I found this website. This made moving, a dreaded process so much more pleasant than I expected.

Crew chief met challege getting big furniture up stairs but scratched several areas of wooden floors. We offered food to take for his guys but he kept saying his kids would really like it and would be very happy. We think he kept it for himself. Not nice!

EASY MOVERS INC
They were great. I have absolutely only good things to say about them. They called to let me know that they would be just a little late. They were well organized, quick and very pleasant. The move out of my apartment to my new place was quick and done very satisfactorily. They are very good and reliable. They price was comparable to other places that I called

NOR-CAL MOVING SERVICES
The three movers were excellent and went to great lengths to move a refrigerator up a narrow staircase with a tight turn. Please pass this message along to the three movers.

Bay Area Express Moving
ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE! BEWARE! Where to begin... I guess the beginning, I spoke with Randy, nice enough guy, told be the history of the company, whey they are better than others, and their pricing is lower because they do not outsource to other movers, that they do all the work themselves and they are local.. All sounded great to me! Randy was very easy to work with he called back when requested, and even provided a quote over the phone! I expressed my concern that no other company does this, that they want to come out, he assured me as long as there were no extra items at the time of the move, it would be right on the money. I called twice to add more than originally stated and he was able to give me the updated amount.. All seemed good to go.. fast forward to moving day. The movers were to arrive at 1pm, they did not get to our house until 6, they said they were stuck at another job..at 8pm, they stopped working and stated they would have to come back the next day to finish...the nightmare begins to unfold.. the mover stated that I had double of what was originally noted and that the price was going to be a lot more than what was quoted...so here we are they have half of my belongings on the truck, and I am now backed into a corner to either pay double of what was quoted or they are not coming back..(Hostage situation) I felt I had to choice I had to give the ok, or who knows what would have happened to my things. I tried calling Randy several times, left messages, emails, and nothing back from him to this day (Classic Bait and Switch). Day 2..the fun continues, they get the rest of our things and are supposedly in route to our final destination. They are to arrive in 12 days..(cross country Move) on day 12 I call as I have not heard from anyone, supposedly the truck had broke down in Missouri.. no call, no warning of being late, nothing. But things happen, so we wait..and wait..and wait..it is now day 18, and they will be here in 2 days. A completely different moving company show's up..they were a total mess, (although friendly!) they left all the moving blankets because he didn't want to unwrap them(the only good thing out of all this, we have 20 moving blankets!) our antique desk has been dismantled into three pieces, and the wood is split, all of our dishes and platters have been shattered, three mirrors shattered, our shark vacuum is missing, our entire patio set is missing (we got the cushions however!) the back of a chair is missing..and we received the legs for a table that is not ours, as well as 5 rugs that are not ours...I called Randy the manager, he stated he would work with us to issue a claim with their insurance company, Fair enough, I issued the claim, and have heard nothing in return..I have tried calling the insurance company, and emailing as well, with no return call, in fact no way of actually speaking with a live person.. and no email response. I Emailed Tony explaining this, he was to reach out to them and get back to me with a resolution, and now of coarse he has gone missing as well, will not call back, or respond to my emails. We have since replaced the vacuum, and bought new dishes, but are left saddened by the experience, We try to support local business as much as possible, and I am not one to leave bad reviews as things happen, and sometimes you cannot control that, but as a business you can however control how you respond to these situations. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy and I hope for your sanity and wallet that you pass them up for your moving needs

Glad I called California Movers, arrived on time, very fast and organized. Courteous young and professional guys. Called California Movers in the last minute since another mover screwed in last minute as truck won't start delayed my whole move... but glad I called California Movers next which ended up being SUPER, job DONE, relaxed

JERRY WOOD MOVING
I would recommend Jerry Wood highly. He was upfront. The actual charge came in below the estimate. His guys were nice. They were clean and they were quick. I would definitely call him again. I’ve never used any other movers besides BestGuy Moving and Jerry Wood Moving.

North Bay Movers
They were good. They did a good job. The man who came was polite and they treated our stuff well and they did a good job moving. They are careful, polite and friendly. It wasn't cheap but I'm sure it was competitive. They were on time.

5-Star Moving
The team was very professional exceeded my expectations and made me feel comfortable about moving . I would highly recommend them to my friends family and anyone who is looking for an outstanding team of professionals to load their home their personal belongings into a pod. I want to thank Lucas for an outstanding experience. And the movers Morgan and Nick performed an outstanding job and treated my stuff as their own

Movers PakMan Inc
They were really good. They moved us in the worst storm ever. They kept doing it and they had a good attitude. They were really good and I have used them numerous times. I can't remember if they charged $115 or $120 an hour.
- Jon L.
NorthStar Moving Company
NorthStar movers were great. They were very friendly, professional and helpful. Could not have asked for a better crew of movers. They were quick and efficient in everything they did.
- Ronald P.
A2B Movers
The experience was good and bad. They were very nice people, very good to work with and deal with. But one problem I saw is that they never marked anything when they packed before moving so we have to go through everything and identifying what goes where. It was just difficult. Secondly, they went through my wife's closet and just dumped my wife's clothes in the box. They didn't use the hangers that the clothes were on. Everything was just piled from bottom to top. The wardrobe boxes were supposed to be used as wardrobe boxes using the hangers. They just dumped everything indiscriminately. I'm not too pleased about that. She has lots of clothes from India and they get wrinkled up very quickly. We have to iron everything ourselves because laundry people here don't know how to handle our clothes. Some of them are silk. That is really not acceptable to me. Responsiveness was very good. They came right on time and finished everything in time. Very efficient

This was the most seamless move that I’ve ever had. California Movers and their team work so efficiently and fast, they completed my move in under the amount of allotted time. They also were very careful and diligent with my furniture, making sure everything was wrapped and placed where we wanted it once we arrived. When I moved into my old apartment, the movers for some reason had a hard time getting the couch on the elevator, which caused it to rip along the back. California Movers and their team carefully wrapped my sofa and was able to get it on the elevator with no problem. I highly recommend California Movers

Similar to Moving Services
Hiring a mover for a cross-town or cross-country move saves you a lot of time and, surprisingly, money in many cases.
An Important Question To Ask Movers Near You:
Do you belong to The American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA)?
The AMSA represents the best in American movers. Working against generations of shady operators, this group encourages educated homeowners to use high-quality, professional movers. Be sure to ask your moving company if they are included in this association.
You can hire movers to only move boxes and furniture, or you can hire moving services to pack every teacup and knick-knack in your home. Moving services offer a menu of options:
- Buy boxes and packing materials from them and move yourself
- Buy boxes and packing materials from them, box all your possessions, and let the moving service load and move all your belongings
- Call them up, sit back, and have them do everything for you, from packing your belongings to labeling the boxes to moving you, unpacking everything, and putting away every last tablespoon
- Request that your possessions be stored long- or short-term in safe, climate-controlled facilities
- Have the moving service pack and prepare your furnishings to be shipped overseas for international moves
AMSA realizes just about anybody with a van can claim to be a mover. They caution consumers to only work with licensed, insured, certified professionals, and Angie's List agrees. Moving services can offer the best protection for your possessions during the move, including replacement costs for damage to electronics, artwork, furniture and more.
How Much Do Moving Services Cost?
The national average cost is $970.
Angie's List and AMSA recommend getting written, signed estimates from at least three movers before choosing a moving service.
Don't Forget Weight and Other Factors
All moving estimates depend on weight, but more than weight affect a move. Stairs, overhanging trees, limited driveway access, or narrow hallways all affect the time and movement that drive up costs.
Look for three types of estimates:
- Binding — You pay the stated price, even if the shipment weighs more or less than the estimate
- Non-binding — Pay no more than 110 percent of the estimate, even if costs exceed the estimate
- Not-to-exceed — A final bill based on the lower of either a binding estimate or actual cost
Hiring Moving Services Near You
- Go through a legitimate mover locating service that offers free reviews and grades, such as Angie's List.
- Get three written estimates.
- Never accept an over-the-phone estimate; legitimate movers require an in-home inspection to evaluate furniture weight and dimensions.
- Be flexible with moving-out and moving-in dates if possible.
- If you tip the movers, tip each mover individually.
