    Tiki Pavillion
    Maia D.

    This amazing moving company made my dreams come true!!! Last minute. Good ol Craigslist amateur hour movers failed me SEVERAL times. Coz. Humans. Last ditch effort. I called Budget Hauling. And honestly. Best thing I did! She immediately sent Eric and Steve to Sacramento for pick up of this huge Tiki/Pavillion and drive it to stockton so fast! They worked so diligently. So efficient. I told them both.. if they served in the army with me. I would probably stay longer. Their Can-Do attitude was everything I live for. You can't train that kind of thing. Anyway I got them chicfila because I was just so impressed. Thank you again this piece of furniture takes me home to my home country . With so many ppl I've lost this year and I can't buy a ticket... this is a consolation for me.

    Broken glass in China cabinet

    Her constant communication is not true. I had to send things to every phone number they had to get someone to contact me. They did refund me $520 a fraction of what was broken and missing at least three boxes that I know. Things that they couldn't have missed like a stepladder that's 4 1/2 feet tall and a vase with sticks in it that was over 5 feet tall. Unfortunately, the boxes that are missing one of which had my hearing aids in it, I'm out thousands of dollars for those along with other items. Shame on me for not purchasing the insurance, but I was assured that they are very, very careful and everything would be wrapped in boxed and it wasn't!

    My wife and I went through Budget Hauling for a move from Sacramento to Nevada. Kayla came to our house and provided us a quote, which included 6 movers and 2 trucks. On the day of the move, we had most of our house ready to go, and the team made quick work loading 2 trucks and we were out the door. They unpacked just as quick, but each box was color coordinated with what room it should go into. The movers did not seem to care about this and stacked boxes where ever they wanted. We also had a gym set up in our garage in the last house and I asked David to replicate that and set up the gym in the new house the same as before. The movers decided to spread our gym equipment not only all around the garage, but also inside the house. We had also purchased pizza and drinks for the crew. Some of the movers ate while unloading, dropping toppings and sauce inside the house and around the garage. As the movers were leaving, one of them ran back with a set of dumbbells that were left in the truck. They also left trash all over the garage and placed trash in boxes that had our personal items in them, not trash. One of our refrigerators was left with the handles off and we later found out it had been damaged (broken plug) in the move, so I wrote an email to David regarding these issues, as well as the newly found broken refrigerator. Seven days later and no response, I emailed David again and he replied with "Your concerns were discussed with the movers. Thank you for your email." I replied with "Got it, what about the broken refrigerator?" Nothing but crickets and I'm guessing we won't hear back from them. Overall, the crew made quick work, but our stuff isn't their stuff, and you can see that's exactly how they treated it. It's all about how quickly they can do the job, not how correctly they can do it. If you value your possessions, use another company. UPDATE! See the email from David. The handles for our refrigerator were on before the move and if they couldn't get put back on, that's the owner's fault or the mover that took them off? Also, your movers could've tested our refrigerator at any time! We were told by your wife to have our refrigerators unplugged, and turned off. Why wouldn't your movers just plug the fridge in to function test it? Instead, your movers broke our refrigerator and now you blame the customer. As you can see, what a fantastic business owner! Blame the customer, and then belittle them! Great professionalism. Take your money elsewhere! ANOTHER UPDATE: David emailed me back and was trying to talk to my wife, not knowing my email was for me...not my wife. He just continues to show how great of a business owner he is, now he's belittling women, calling my wife a devil and liar. If you want your moving company to belittle you, your wife, AND break your stuff, hire this company immediately! Update on 6/26: David left the below comment which just shows his true colors. It's the same exact reply he had to my wife's complaint. Zero sincerity, only lies and blame pushing. Let's not apologize for belittling and berating my wife, don't apologize for the broken refrigerator, just push lies like the self-absorbed sociopath you are. There are zero exaggerations in this review. I'm thankful that we found his insurance information tonight. Karma will get companies like this who rip people off, please do your homework before hiring this misogynistic company. Funny, they're "woman-owned", but the email from David only spewed hate against women, and it's terrible to see this occurring in 2024.

    The ghost mover with boxes that weren't ours (in case they try this on you)

    The problem began after the move. We were initially told that 4 movers would show. 3 actually showed up (Joe, Steven, and another newer person). Someone at Budget Hauling lied to HireAHelper after the job was done saying that a fourth person had shown up (it is unclear who is in on this fraud at Budget Hauling and/or Hire A Helper). They over charged us hundreds of dollars for this ghost fourth person, and claimed that the person was in the truck and unloading at our UPack site and we just hadn't seen him. Because they never actually sent a fourth person, the move took much longer. My husband and I were on both sides throughout and we were introduced to all the movers and were with them the entire time. This is a blatant lie. Then, they sent photos to HireAHelper to "prove" there were four movers. Two pictures were real and had the 3 movers who were there. The other was a fake picture with a fourth guy we never saw in a truck that wasn't ours with boxes that weren't ours labeled eggs. They had wiped the location data off the picture. We have documentation showing that Budget Hauling would adjust the number of movers from 4 to 3 because only 3 people showed up the day of. Hire A Helper has not useful. They claimed to call Budget Hauling and they seemed to be able to immediately respond with the fake picture. However, it's now been 3 days and they haven't responded to the clear documentation we shared. We've rejected all of their charges, and are waiting for them to charge us the true amount. We have two little kids, and this is the last thing you want to deal with when moving across the country. Save your self the headache. DO NOT USE BUDGET HAULING LLC. It is hard to say who is in on this, but this level of dishonesty is disgusting.

    This is where it was

    I needed a very large and heavy swim spa moved off of my porch and onto a concrete slab. Many companies said they wouldn't or couldn't move it and my only option was a crane. But Budget Hauling seemed very confident they could do it! And they did!!! The team they sent was great, super friendly and definitely put in the work to move the swim spa safely and put it where it needed to go. Eli, Dave, Robert, Jacob, Hayden, and Marcus did a fantastic job! Thank you guys for getting this done for me!

    Moving the fridge was a nightmare when we got it installed. Budget hauling moved it without any issues!

    Save yourself time and just book with Budget Hauling! I spent several hours and days deciding which company to hire, and I ended up going with Budget Hauling. I choose Budget Hauling because they were the only company that quickly provided an in-home video consultation and clearly explained the whole moving process. They created a personalized quote for me based on the facetime call and recommended what would be needed. I decided to go with their recommendation and get 4 movers instead of the 2 I thought I needed. I strongly recommend you get 4 movers because it speeds the whole moving process and you're probably underestimating the amount of time your move will take, like I did. These four guys: David, Eric, Joe and Larry did a phenomenal job and worked like a well-oiled machine! This crew not only worked hard but they were all professional and you can see they take pride in what they do! None of my belonging were damaged and they moved appliances from 2nd (Refrigerator) and 3rd (Washer/Dryer) floor. I will be sharing their info with anyone I know that needs to move in the future. Thank you, Budget Hauling, and please know that David, Eric, Joe and Larry represented your company well!

Then I got sick with kidney stones that forced me to rest. I decided I needed help and called the owner. He sent 3 employees who came to my old apartment in South Natomas. I've never used movers before, so I stacked all my heavy, heavy bins, one large book case/shelf, my queen mattress, lots of clothing, my dresser I've had for 20+ years, my son's tiny dresser, and other miscellaneous items. They were very thoughtful and communicative. I felt so bad knowing that they arrived to the new townhouse apartment that is 3 floors inside and they managed through heavy and light to carry everything up and down. Truly, I am grateful for the 3 that came today. They even kept light spirits with jokes with 4th and 5th floors! They were also courteous and took photos of any bumps in the home prior to loading. The apartment townhouse did have a small chip from the paint prior moving in. If I move within the state again locally, I will definitely request their services. Also, I paid via Venmo. They accept multiple types of payments. My goal is to move one county over into El Dorado County. Highly recommend!!!

I had to pay for another day of day care and pay my cleaning person a cancellation fee plus the cleaning fee. Almost $300. Despite being very clear about moving a 1400sq ft place, they showed up with a truck that was too small to do it in one trip as discussed (Dragging out the time/cost). One mover was polite. The other was rude and the overall experience was beyond unprofessional. They left me with scratched and wobbly/damaged furniture from mishandling. They even asked us to help move things ! When the office person sent the text requesting payment, I asked about the price being adjusted for the huge and expensive inconvenience they caused me the day before and she was reluctant to do anything. After my insistence she gave me a small discount, but in actuality I should not have paid a dime over the originally quoted price due to the unprofessionalism and what they cost me by canceling. I asked if they were an insured company and she refused to answer or address my damaged furniture. She was generally pretty defensive and kept repeating the same excuse instead of wanting to accommodate me. I will obviously never recommend or use this company.
