In 1985, Craig handled my local move in Novato. He was the first one I called when I was ready to sell my townhome and move to Arizona last year. His estimate was reasonable, he gave me lots of good advice and information. I was ready to list my unit, and then disaster struck in the form of a water intrusion event in my neighbor's kitchen. Part of the common wall was removed, and I had to put the kitchen and dining room items in storage - including my Waterford, vintage China, and some pre-WWII pieces. Craig and his guys stepped in and made all my worries disappear. So, for a year part of my possessions were at his storage facility. But wait . . . there's more! In March of this year I was in contract to sell and had 35+ boxes packed. They buyer walked. Craig and his guys stepped up again. The third time is the charm, as the saying goes. That proved to be true. I listed on 8/1, had multiple offers. Escrow closed a month later. Craig's crew was there for the last pack out on 9/2. They arrived with masks and worked quickly and carefully. Once I left Novato for Oro Valley, AZ, Craig kept me informed about the progress scheduling my delivery. He was always a phone call away. Once things were loaded, he arranged a contact (Laurie) for me with National Van Lines. Once the driver was on the road with my load and one other household, Mario the driver's boss contacted me with an estimated arrival time. From there, everything happened exactly as Craig had told me it would. Ruben the driver arrived promptly. He brought Jose and Al to unload the truck. They were kind, professional, worked quickly and efficiently. They were finished in three hours. That was on 9/29. Four days after delivery, I finally got to the dish packs Craig's guys packed last year. Every piece was wrapped like a work of art or the Queen's treasured possessions. Not one thing was damaged. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Thank you, Craig - your local crew - and the people at National Van Lines. Your experience, professionalism, and dedication to superior customer care made all the parts of this move happen without one glitch. read more

I have moved 17 times over the last 20+ years and this was the best experience. Craig was working in conjunction with National Van Lines, Inc (AMAZING) and overall I was very very impressed. I felt that Craig tells it too you straight, and he take the time to give you all the information you need. He provides all his license numbers and so on, so you can research him, he has nothing to hide. I had about 7 other companies come out and give quotes most were very vague and somewhat shady. Everyone completely over quoted me on my weight of my stuff, I was quoted 5600lbs, 6000lbs, 6600lbs and 7100lbs so their quotes were crazy expensive. Craig quoted me at 5000lbs, and it ended up that it was 4850lbs, so my total pack move to Arizona was thousands $$ less then what the other companies were quoting me for me to pack my OWN stuff!! Not only that but the total cost came in UNDER what the binding quote was, because they slightly overestimated the amount of boxes that would be needed! So a full pack move to Arizona from SF of a 3 bdrm apt cost under $3300. Outstanding. The driver, packers and loaders were very, very professional on time and very careful with our items. Had no damage in transit. I am being very passionate about this review because I have moved so often and I know what a nightmare it can be, and because I had another moving company basically stalk me telling be there is no way National and Belfor moving could deliver on the quote the offered, basically telling me I was stupid and was going to get ripped off,..... That was Viking Van lines BTW. I will definitely use this company again, it is one of the most honest companies out there. read more

Moving is always stressful. Let me just get that said. It can bring up all kinds of emotions, and push those worry buttons! In spite of my rather anal attention to details, and good imagination about all the things that "could go wrong," I was repeatedly relieved that I had hired the Belfor Moving team. From the first contact with Dave Robb, to the packing crew of Kyle, Sal and Bruce, to the follow-ups from Dave throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. These guys are a machine! My mother's beloved apartment, in the Tenderloin neighborhood, was full of her paintings and ceramic sculptures. Sal, with such care and efficiency, packed all of the sculptures. He completely set my worries of breakage at ease. The men worked like a well-oiled machine for more than 10 hours. Got the truck loaded safely; and me dropped off at my hotel. I was exhausted from just watching them! I had interviewed two other companies, and am so glad I chose Belfor and National Van Lines. What a nice group of guys! Some reviewers had issues with Craig's gruffness. It is true that he is not a diplomat. However, he runs a tight ship, and was honest and competent. If you want a comforting hand to hold through the process, Dave is the one to communicate with. I recommend the company without reservation. Their service was above and beyond what I had expected; but was the kind of service I always hope to receive from anyone I hire. read more

DO NOT MOVE with this company. Belfor Moving is a part of National Van Lines and they do not have any professional standards at all. We worked through Craig who lied about the protection and insurance policies and their coverage. We know this because when Belfor and National Van Lines lost multiple boxes they claimed that the insurance coverage did not cover the damages. Belfor movers also came into our home and scarred up walls and floors severely. In addition to all of this, after the move we discovered paperwork that was incorrectly filled out and in some cases forged. The driver that Belfor Moving and National Van Lines contracted our move to, forged documents. When we tried to call National Van LInes to ask about this, they did not respond at all to numerous phone calls. We called Craig and he did not respond at all. It took multiple emails to the CEO of National Van Lines to get a response. Their response, they did not feel they had to do anything. in conclusion,DO NOT move with this company, if you want to see all your stuff arrive at the destination. Craig will seem all nice and folksy when you speak to him but do not believe this as his experience has taught him numerous ways to deceive the customer into paying for services that are unnecesary and do not provide adequate protection against all the things that can go wrong with companies. read more

Definitely recommend choosing Belfor. Craig and team handled our cross-country move, including packing for us and a few months of storage at his facility while we house-hunted, and we were very happy with how things went. We found Craig to be straight-forward, to-the-point, honest and trustworthy. We got a few estimates for our move, and his was on the lower end. And we saved $$ when our load weighed out at less than the estimate! A cross country move is a wallet-drainer no matter what, but I felt like the pricing was fair and transparent. I recall reading a handful of negative reviews here before hiring Belfor, and being impressed by Craig's replies to the negative reviews. He clearly spells things out for you, such as if any location is hard to get to for a giant truck and requires a smaller shuttle truck, it'll cost extra. Of course, since trucks and people to drive them aren't free! Seemed like many of the negative reviewers somehow didn't get that. We also liked that Craig and his team had the feel of a family business (which they are) - responsive and professional but not in an overly corporate / robotic kind of way. Moving is intimidating because it's expensive and there are some shady companies out there- fear not with Belfor, they tell it like it is, treat your stuff carefully, and charge a fair price. read more

Extremely impressed so far with Craig Belfor and his staff. Before my move, Craig showed up at my place in SF, gave me an estimate, and discussed all my options in a very courteous and professional manner. Craig took a laid back, no pressure type of approach which is so rare these days and right up my alley - I absolutely loathe pushy sales. After accepting the "not to exceed" estimate, he helped me prepare for my move which I really appreciated. (SFMTA temp parking permit, packing tips, things to dump and save weight/$, etc.) On moving day, his crew showed up on time and couldn't have been better. I packed and labelled everything myself beforehand (OCD) but they took care of the sofa, speakers, and other random items that had to be wrapped, and then proceeded to move everything to their truck in record time. It really blew my mind how good they were - I've moved across the country several times in the past and nothing has ever come close to Craig and his crew. I'm only halfway through my out-of-state move at this point, but if the first half is any indication, I am really impressed. There are movers and there are MOVERS; Belfor Moving is the latter. read more

I moved from CA to TN at the end of July. I spent the first week of July calling different movers to get estimates. Craig offered an affordable quote ($5500) as opposed to other movers who were charging over $7K. I found him to be confident and experienced, which was very reassuring. Even though tons of people were moving out of the Bay area, he happily agreed to move us on the last day of the month, even though I'm sure everyone moves out on the last day of the month. The movers (Art and two other men) were wonderful. We packed the boxes ourselves, and Art gave me a great moving tip - pack the boxes heavy. He explained heavy boxes are safer to travel than lightweight boxes. The movers arrived on time and they only took 2 hours to load the truck! Also, Art expertly maneuvered the moving truck around our neighborhood with skinny streets. Our belongings arrived on time (12 days) and intact with no issues. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough about this terrific moving company. A crew of four guys came and helped us move a 4-bedroom house and a 10X20 storage unit about 400 miles. They were professional, polite, extremely careful with our things and highly organized. They were the nicest bunch of guys and they actually whistled while they worked. They worked extremely hard and wrapped everything that was breakable and covered our furniture so it wouldn't 't rub. They loaded the trucks one day and drove the next morning very early and unloaded the next day. At the unloading location we couldn't fit our furniture in our doors, so they actually took apart a sliding glass door like it was no big deal, moved the furniture in and put the door back together - all in a days work. They couldn't do enough to make us happy. Their prices were thousands of dollars less than the larger company's. They get an A+ rating in my book. read more

Craig and his son Alex did everything they could to make my move to a different state as painless as they could. They are easy to deal with and very efficient. They were prompt, and their employees were very careful with my possessions and professional. The young men they hired to pack everything are a wonderful team. My only complaint is not with them it is with National Van Lines. Perhaps I don't understand the business very well but it seems to me if I schedule my move in May National should be able to schedule a driver for July and do it on the date that is promised. They were late and it was inconvenient! The driver however was courtesy itself and the men hired to offload were careful with my things. The main problem is in scheduling a driver and that is not Belfor Moving, Inc.'s fault. It is the scheduling process of National Van Lines. Thank you Elinor L. read more

On 7/5 I used Belfor Moving and I am very glad I did. I moved out of a house and had to take things to storage and wind up in a small apartment. They had to take all of my things out of my storage to put it and many new items in. A very tight squeeze but luckily they were able to make it fit with about 1" to spare. I had a quote done and he gave me a "it won't be more than $x to get it done" I figured it would end up at that price but no it came in about $200 less. The movers did arrive later than planned but it was because of a situation outside of their control. Mr. Belfor made up for it by sending 2 extra guys to help move so as to speed things up. Kyle the lead person was very good. Shawn, James and John were also very efficient and careful. I will use them again. Thank you for doing such a good job! read more

I recently moved from Sausalito to Northern Marin. Before choosing a mover, I got estimates from five different, local, companies and was surprised to find the differences in their estimates spanned more than a thousand dollars. I chose to go with Craig Belfor's company and am very happy that I did. Everything went smoothly and without a scratch. The movers wrapped the artwork carefully and they handled things with practiced care. I appreciated their pleasant and professional demeanor and the unflagging pace they kept up was impressive. At the end of the day, Belfor Movers came in three hundred dollars lower than their original estimate! That was sweet. I recommend Craig Belfor's Moving Company without hesitation and I will go back to him again when I need to have anything moved. read more

This may be a biased review, as this is my Uncle's business but he's been at it, ever growing, ever changing and always ahead of the game and industry for 44 years. I grew up being very close to seeing the ins and outs of what he accomplishes through his team, locally and internationally. Much of my success is due in part to what I learned by watching him and his company throughout the years. I learned first hand, the care he puts into each and every single client, homeowner or renter, corporations, schools included. Belfor Moving is the bar that raises year over year for 44 years. BELFOR MOVING TEAM - You guys are rock stars, the care, knowledge, expertise that you take with every single move is seen again and again. If you're looking for a solid moving company, look no further. read more

I hired Craig Belfor to assist me wirh my cross country move from California to Tennessee in April of this year. He educated me on what to look for in hiring a moving company so I was not taken advantage of.His quote came in $500.00 less than other moving companies that I got quotes from. The moves arrived when they said they would and helped me pack my tv and large pictures at no extra chatge.They were very professional and pleasant. I requested they give me as much time as possible so I did not have to put my stuff in storage and they were able to assist me.. when i arived in Tennessee nothing was damaged or missing . I Highly recommend Belfor moving . If I ever move across the country again i will definitely use Belfor moving again. read more

We hired Belfor Moving for a 4 BR house move from San Francisco to Novato. Craig the owner was great, he got back to us right away and came to our house in SF over the week-end in order to give us a not to exceed estimate. That was lovely for few reasons, we knew what to expect money wise but also it was reassuring to speak with someone directly and make sure that all will be taking care of! The move was perfectly handled... the team members were cautious of how to handle properly furnitures and also where to put them at the final destination... the team was definitely just awesome! Also since it took them less time than expected, the final bill was even lower that the estimate. We obviously strongly recommend their services! read more

We moved a one-bedroom apartment from the Bay area to Rhode Island. Craig was very helpful and responsive from beginning to end. The day the movers showed with Craig they had everything out and on the truck in about 2 hours. They were very courteous and professional. On the receiving end the driver and her partner unloaded everything in a very fast and organized manner. Again, they were done in about 2 hours. The final tally was exactly the price quoted, no extras or add-ons. Basically, they all did their job, did it well, on time and with courtesy. My friend that moved from the Bay area to San Antonio recommend Belfor/National and I'm glad he did. I can easily recommend them for your move. read more

I could not have been more impressed with Belfor Moving! I called Craig a week before I needed to move, and he got me on the books. The movers were supposed to be there at 8 am, and at 8 am Craig called me to let me know that the men had some car trouble and would be there shortly. So kind of him to let me know! Then, two men showed up and were so nice. They were wearing masks and kept their appropriate distance. They got me moved out of my apartment in no time. I am personally using Belfor to store my things for now until I move into a new apartment and he made me feel so comfortable about doing so! Cannot recommend these movers enough, especially during these COVID times. read more

Craig Belfor and Belfor Moving are absolutely the best. Craig worked with us in a challenging move of property from a family estate. He quickly assessed our concerns and the emotional minefield of families in conflict. His crew arrived on time and were extremely sensitive to everyone's needs. Craig and his crew are outstanding professionals. They defused a potentially reactive situation to the mutual satisfaction of all. In over 8 global moves - this was the very best moving experience we've had. Craig "listens." His crews emulate his demeanor and values. Bottom line - outstanding move from packing to delivery at a fair price with a real focus on people. read more

Belfor Moving- Exceptional! Belfor Moving, in Napa, is an outstanding company. Moving can be hectic and exhausting, especially during a pandemic. From start to finish, Belfor was professional, efficient, thorough and friendly. Craig, Edwin and the entire team went above and beyond to make our move an easy transition. They were incredibly helpful during the unloading and even came back after we unpacked to collect empty boxes. Their cheerful attitudes during multiple long days never waned. I can't say enough positive things about this company - you just need to put your trust in them, sit back and let them take care of your move. Signed: Happy Customers read more

I can't say enough positive feedback about Belfor Moving. I first met Alex, Craig son via FaceTime to go over our needs, I was able to virtually tour our items for Alex to give an estimate. Craig helped with any questions or concerns, a wonderful father and son team! The moving guys were totally capable, strong, efficient and trust worthy. From start to finish our move was stress free and at a very competitive, fair price! They moved my family and my husbands parents in 2 homes on the same property all on the same day and made it look easy! I wouldn't use another moving company...Belfor Moving is the only way to go!! - Sincerely, Adriana and family read more
