    Plants damaged
    Nishika T.

    I have used a few other moving companies and I had heard of big brother movers as they are very close to where I lived in Fremont. We heard and saw good reviews so we booked, they were flexible with move out time. However on the day of the move out they came pretty late, which wasn't too big of an issue at first but after seeing the wrapping compared to other companies I was not impressed. I have a lot of plants and other companies can see that it is important to me, they usually have wrapped the plants. They did not wrap any of the plants. They also didn't wrap some standing lights and a tall plant shelf which ended up breaking. Our new home was five minute from our old home but we came to the new home with many damaged items. They were super costly but it hurt either way. They also require that you tip, we tipped the 20% but were not necessarily impressed.

    We used Brothers Movers for a move within Santa Cruz County, from a two-bedroom townhome to a two-bedroom home. Our arrival window was between 4:00-6:00 p.m., and they arrived around 4:50 p.m. They completed the entire move by about 8:30 p.m., which was impressive considering there were stairs involved at both locations. The movers were professional, polite, and worked quickly and efficiently. They took great care to protect both our belongings and the homes by wrapping all of our furniture and placing protective rugs on the stairs. Since they had to park on the street, they also set out safety cones to help keep the area safe while loading and unloading. Overall, we had a positive experience with Brothers Movers.

    I don't normally write reviews but wanted to highlight my experience as they have been unresponsive for almost 2 weeks now. I've used Brother Movers once in the past and they were perfect that time. Came right on time, communication was efficient, and nothing was damaged. So I was more than willing to use them for my most recent move. The first issue is that we clearly asked in the email communication thread for 2 movers. On the day of the move, however, 3 showed up. Though we explained to them we only requested 2 movers, the movers were already present so they started working immediately. While we had no major issues with this as it expedited the move process, we felt forced to accept the cost of 3 movers. They never explained how this miscommunication happened. The second is that the movers were MUCH rougher with our furniture this time around compared to the first time we used them. They damaged two separate shelves that I have. For the first shelf, they damaged a huge chunk while roughly using a knife to remove the packaging around the shelf that the mover repaired on the spot. On that day, I believed it was a one-time issue and assured the mover that it was fine, especially since it was more cosmetic and didn't affect the functionality of the shelf. Two days later, however, I noticed that another bookshelf of mine was damaged. This one actually affects the functionality of the shelf as it was completely unhinged from the back and chunks were also found on the ground upon moving the shelf and inspecting it more closely. Because of this, the doors cannot be aligned and items are falling through the back since the shelf is no longer secured. Considering the issues mentioned, I requested a damage claim for just the second shelf that was damaged more intensely. Their website gives basic damage claim "based on the weight of the article or furniture multiplied by 60 cents". According to a link I sent them, the bookcase weighs close to 66 pounds. With the calculations Brother Movers provided and considering there were two items that were damaged but I am only requesting one, I requested at least $30 to cover a portion of the cost I would be spending on replacing my bookshelf. They first mentioned they can come by and repair it but since there are clear pieces that fell out, it is no longer repairable. They have yet to reply after sending two more follow up emails. I'm hoping this yelp review will get their attention as they seem to be active here.

    Exceptional Service from the Bay Area to Sacramento! We used Brothers Movers for our recent move on 6/25, and they were absolutely wonderful. The crew arrived right on time and handled all of our belongings with the utmost care and professionalism. Moving can be incredibly overwhelming, but they truly made the entire process stress-free. Beyond the heavy lifting, they went above and beyond by helping us dispose of our unwanted furniture, placing everything exactly where it needed to go in the designated areas. Their pricing was completely transparent with absolutely no hidden charges, which we really appreciated. If you want a smooth, worry-free moving experience, I highly recommend Brothers Movers!

    Brothers Movers did an amazing job moving all of our belongings. They arrived with a huge truck and plenty of moving gear--rugs, blankets, plastic wrap, even extra moving boxes. They packaged up everything with lots of care, and moved 70 boxes + our exercise bike, standing tables, and other large furniture efficiently. The pricing was also quite competitive and I was happy with the total considering the amount of stuff we had plus the stairs they had to deal with. I can't recommend them enough!

    What is the current price per hour? What other charges are there?

    They charge $115 per hour plus $45 for the truck There is a 2 hour minimum They add a tip of $10… 

    Moving an upright piano?

    Do you do small moving jobs? We want to move a couch and a recliner from Sunnyvale to Campbell and bring back two chairs from Campbell to Sunnyvale.

    Two hour minimum so yes they can do it

    I want to move a Baby grand piano from san Carlos to Palo Alto this week , how much you cost., thanks!?

    Only they can give you the estimate but, I will say they were very honest with me and the final cost was very close to the estimate. The service was fast and efficient. They were very gentle with my things and even plastic wrapped everything for me.

    What is typical deposit payment prior to the move?

    No deposit. But these don't look like the type of people you don't pay. Lol.

    How much they charge per hour?

    I would suggest calling Jack from the company to get the current prices. His contact number is 5106486546

    Is tip necessary? How much usually?

    Tip is necessary, but if they dare asking for $150 per person like they did to me, please ignore them. You can find the average tips for movers online via Google...

Overall our experience was good, but I don't think I would use them again. A little background: It was a super hot day, and I felt bad for the movers. They didn't seem to have water or proper PPE for the weather. The positive: Movers were on time and ready to work! Items were moved carefully, but they probably could have used a third worker based on the items we had. I feel I was transparent with how much items we had including heavy items. The negative: Two movers were not enough based on the items we had including heavy items. The move took much longer than expected. Movers seemed really irritated the whole time, which I can't tell if it was from the heat or we did something wrong. Movers also left garbage behind and we had to clean up after. Usually the moving company will follow up after to see how things went, but we never heard from Nancy. Nancy also said she would come to check in during the move, but never did. We paid, and it was done. I think overall, it was a fine experience, but not to the level of other moving companies I've worked with before. Based on the more recent reviews, it looks like some improvements have been made which is great!

Getting a per-hour quote and scheduling with their team was super quick and easy; they were very responsive and their pricing is very competitive. They arrived on-time and worked efficiently + carefully to pack up the home and deconstruct the furniture. They were also more than willing to move around furniture at our new place if we found that we wanted it oriented differently. All-in-all, the experience took longer than originally quoted but that was because we had a LOT to pack and move. Again, the quote is based on the number of hours to complete the move, so I still fully believe that the service is fairly and competitively priced. I'm also very grateful to the team of movers Ludwig, Simon, Jose, and Lupe for staying so long and working so hard that day. It is very much appreciated because now we are in our new home with everything clearly labelled and nothing broken. I would recommend Joshua's Moving for any Bay Area move. If I ever need to move again, I know who I will be calling. Thank you!

They arrived on time and worked very hard and quick to get everything loaded up onto the truck. The movers were very professional and had all the supplies we and they needed. We had some big wire racks and they were able to saran wrap a bunch of boxes on them. They also had some wardrobe boxes that had a rod to hang stuff on. We had stuff at two locations so they had to pick stuff up at one, leave some stuff from spot 1 behind at spot 2, and pick up everything else from spot two before taking it all to its final landing spot. A couple things did break in transit, some cubbies and a glass baking dish, the dish was my fault though as it wasn't wrapped at all, and was in a collapsible bin. They were also able to take away an old mattress, it was a little more expensive that my boyfriend was originally quoted, but after a long day of packing and moving, we were fine paying it to not have to deal with it.

However, it seems that our two movers, Alan and Junior, were told to arrive as soon as possible, because they came at 8:08 am. Although I expected we would finish a little bit sooner than 3 hours (but were prepared to pay for the 3-hour minimum), I thought it possible an extra hour past that would be burnt up since they had to wait around to unload. But they were much more efficient than I could have imagined while still handling our items with care! Our 9 boxes (all packed already), 3 pieces of big furniture, and a few smaller pieces of furniture like mini drawers and chair were loaded into the truck in only 30 minutes. So even though they had to wait around for an extra hour, they finished unloading everything into our new apartment at 10:50 AM and we paid for 3 hours. It came out to about $440 total with the cash discount, extra mattress bag of $10, and drive time of 15 minutes calculated into the cost as double drive time. Some furniture like my 5-foot long wood desk, the mattress, and box spring were shrink-wrapped (and/or covered in blankets), but some smaller items like my piano bench and mini exercise bike were not. But everything was in perfect condition after unloading. They also have this gigantic box on a dolly used for miscellaneous items (like trash bins). All in all, we had a great experience despite the initial time mishap and would hire them if we move again!
