I contacted several piano movers to help us with a transit from Oakmont to Occidental. I oversaw the pickup and met them at the destination. The owner, Wyatt, was responsive to small issues during the move. The two fellas who did the muscling were professional and punctual. They charged a 2-hour minimum, and with the tip, they were 20% - 30% under their competitors. Hire them and tip well. read more

Wyatt and his crews helped me with two moves. Both times they were on time, efficient , professional , pleasant to work with and highly competent in their job. They all went over and above in multiple ways to make an otherwise difficult transition as smooth as it possibly could be! I highly recommend them and will likely call them again in the future. read more

I needed to move from a 2-bedroom condo to a 2-bedroom single family home. I was only really concerned with the large furniture pieces, because i can move the smaller items over time. Roy and Raymond arrived on schedule and walked with me through my "from" location, as i identified the items they should load on the truck. They wrapped everything in padding and tape! Roy helped me disconnect my tv cables because I they were screwed on too tight for me to do alone. At the "to" location, they brought everything in at a good pace and set up everything to my satisfaction. None of my stuff was harmed during the move. Hiring this company was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Excellent value for the money I spent. read more

I've used Careful Moving for years, probably 10 times. In town, whole house moves but also just moving stuff out of house, around house, in & out of garage for a remodel. Everyone is kind and respectful. Wyatt has helped me a couple of times. Last week it was Troy & Ray - all fantastic!!! Fair pricing, good availability, prepared. Love these guys! read more

I hired this moving company (again) because they are fast, efficient, careful, polite, and hard working. Roy and Raymond unloaded a 2nd floor storage unit, with stairs, in South SF, into another storage unit in Santa Rosa. When we got there it was 90 degrees. They kept moving forward until the job was completed. Good peeps! Would hire again. read more

Ray and Roy from Careful Moving and Storage moved my furniture and did a great job with the move. They wrapped my furniture and carefully moved my furniture in a professional manner. Thank you! read more

I highly recommend Careful Movers in Santa Rosa. Prompt, on time, of course careful and personable. They accommodated my schedule and it was a great help. Wyatt and his crew Roy and Cody are at the top of their game. Professional and courteous, they exceeded my expectations. Highest level of customer satisfaction... The BEST read more

When I first called Wyatt answered the phone. Very friendly, and knowledgeable. I set my appointment to move within a few days. They were able to make the move possible with little to no advanced notice. My movers were Rasheed, Alan and Troy. They showed up on time, did a walk through, set a plan and hustled. Awesome team... they had me moved within 5 hours from start to finish. I moved from a 3 bedroom townhouse that sits on the 2nd and 3rd floors, to a 2 bedroom on the ground floor across town. They were efficient, friendly and careful. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. Absolutely would love the same team as well. You guys are the best.. Cheers to a great New Year to you all!!! read more

Just finished a move with Careful moving. They provided an excellent service and good communication for the move. They also gave a very good rate for my move which was quite far from Petaluma to Irvine. Their staff was very nice and friendly and was considerate to the handling of our items. The truck with the cat 5 stars all the way! read more

I am so impressed with everyone I've dealt with at Careful Movers. I had an unusual move because I was only moving out for 48 hours and was hoping to store everything either on my balcony or at a neighbor's. Sam outlined all my options, rates, and fees and was kind and informed me of any extra charges so I could budget the move. Cody and Tyler were my movers and I couldn't have asked for better! They were quick and kind and friendly. Moving is a pain and everyone at Careful Movers made it painless! A special thanks to Sam who went up and beyond for me. Can't say enough wonderful things about the whole experience! THANK YOU read more

Careful Moving & Storage just moved me from Santa Rosa to Belvedere. They provided me with a very competitive quote and were able to move me within a week of quoting the job. Their crew was very courteous and they arrived on site early and ready to work. The move went very smoothly and the movers took great care in blanket wrapping all of my furniture and wall art. Furniture that had to be unassembled to get through the doorway was professionally reassembled. i gave this company 5 stars because they not only meet my expectations, they exceeded them. Helga L. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We are very disappointed with our experience working with this company and the dishonest and unprofessional sales rep that facilitated our service. Their sales rep, Sam, grossly underestimated the amount of time and number of people it would take to complete the job. And, more egregiously, after weeks of not returning my call and instead of owning his mistake, he 1) refused to refund us for the additional time it took, and 2) accused my partner of lying about the number of rooms that had to be moved despite knowing we were moving 30 minutes away (in other words, the entire house needed to go) and having gone out and surveyed the property himself. I suggest never doing business with Careful Moving or anyone affiliated with this company. If you choose to do so, all I have to say is be "Careful". read more

Very reasonable prices. Awesome service, experienced, professional and thorough. They made scheduling easy and they were timely. very good communication. they moved a piano for me and did a fabulous job. I will definitely use them again! wonderful service!! read more

Our experience was top notch from the first call to schedule an estimate to the final piece being put in place. We used Careful Moving at the recommendation of the company, FlooringFX, we were using to replace the carpet in our 3 bedrooms. Clearly they recommend them all the time which in itself is a great endorsement. Wyatt was manning the phone/email and was very responsive, informative, easy to work with and friendly. Sam came out to bid the job and he was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly (and his estimate was just about spot on). We had one crew, David and Felix, on the first move day (putting contents of 3 bedrooms into our garage which included breaking down bed frames and a desk) and they were great. We then had Cody and Tyler on the second day to move/reassemble everything. All four were skilled, careful (they live up to their name!) and just really nice guys. Our desk is a weird, non-standard one and I didn't have the assembly instructions, but they figured it out just using their logic/knowledge. And we had a really tall piece that was hard to navigate but they strategized and did it without chipping any walls/paint. Very grateful to all for their awesome work. Side note...Wyatt was super flexible with scheduling. We had to postpone last minute twice due unforeseeable circumstances and he was nothing but gracious and accommodating. Delightful experience using Careful Moving & Storage! read more

We had a great experience with Careful Movers and Storage. I specifically wanted to give them my business because the owner donates time and resources to a community project for the local elderly that recycles durable medical equipment. They handled our stuff with care and actually listened when I requested they not drag anything across the wood floors. I would like to give a special shout out to Robert Smith, who was extra friendly and just generally went above and beyond to be helpful. read more

We hired Careful Moving and Storage to load our moving truck on 4/24/2021. They had previously moved some items from our home and put them in storage and brought those items back and loaded them onto the moving truck on 4/23/2021. Up until this point we had a great experience with them. However for some reason the movers installed the bulkhead divide in the center of the truck, and continued to load the rest of our items on 4/24, thus leaving significant dead space on the moving truck. We weren't aware of this until after the movers left on 4/24, saying they could not not fit all of our items on the truck. I thought I hadn't bought a big enough truck and was devastated we were going to have to leave behind our belongings. My son climbed up in the truck and documented the large amount of dead space in the center of the truck that was the reason that our items didn't fit. After many frantic calls to Careful Moving they unpacked and repacked the truck on 4/26, however they did not pack the truck well, causing the documented damage to the items. We provided many tie downs and blankets that were not used to protect and secure our furniture. See attached photos of bulkhead issue and damaged items. I asked "careful" moving to compensate us for the damage, which totaled about $1k. They refused, blaming everything under the sun for their poor packing and management, never acknowledging their awful behavior and damage to my homes items. I contacted the Better Business Bureau and they tried to seek resolve, however Careful moving again refused. If you hire these guys, you do so at your own risk and expense. We paid them close to $4k for professional movers and we weren't being unreasonable asking for them to repair the items they damaged. They're not responsible or careful in the slightest, a couple of high school kids would have been more professional. I can't help but wonder if these positive reviews aren't real. read more

See all

Moving is stressful. Especially when you and your husband decide that moving to Roseville on the spur of the moment for his job promotion and you have to be there in 2 weeks! We got 3 estimates. Careful Moving was the lowest and also provided letters of recommendation for previous jobs and clients. We had to hire them to pack as well because of the time crunch. The moving crew was cheerful and they were also hard workers. They alotted only 1 day for packing our entire household contents. That one day turned into a day and a half because they did not have enough crew doing only packing. Careful Movings's packing job is really bad. We would find things like the lid to the popcorn popper in one box, and the base to the popper in another. The popcorn popper is just a small example. This went on and on like this for 4 days of unpacking. There was really no reason why they couldn't have been more efficient and kept things in one box instead of us having to unpack another 5 or 6 boxes until we found the "mate". The final straw today was finding the ladle to my favorite soup tureen in the box with the contents of a "junk drawer", and it wasn't even wrapped in packing paper! It now has a nice chip in it. Oh, and God only knows where the actual soup tureen is! That will take me another 5 or 6 boxes of unpacking to find it! Don't hire them to pack. They are good at the moving part of the job, terrible at the packing part. Regarding payment - one man in the office told me that they would accept cash, checks, Visa or Mastercard. He neglected to tell me about the 2% surcharge to accept the credit card. read more

We really appreciated all support we got, from the initial phone call to follow up phone call to move out. Our movers were Felix, Rasheed and David. They had us moved out in less than 2 hours, faster than estimated, and were conscientious and respectful with us, our children and our property. read more

We chose Careful Movers again for our next move because they were so good last year when given notice to move. Then a year later, we're given notice again on a long term rental promise, we were shocked to be moving again and wanted the best people. We knew we could count on Careful Movers! Sam and Cody were the best team! They communicated so well with us and with each other, it was seamless team work. I made a few suggestions on sensitive items and preferences for load and unload based on the layout of the house. They trusted us to know what would work. I learned from Cody about using lower settings with dryers which I am now using very effectively! And Sam serenaded us with his haunting soulful singing as the day pressed on. Again, this crew made it effortless and elegant to move a whole household of furniture! Both were gentle and strong a really great combo for movers. It was a first with moving a washer and dryer. This helped us discover that the owners needed to clear the dryer ducts, a fire hazard. The owners came out the next day, and we are now fully safe from this discovery from our movers! Start to finish: Josh in the office setting up and doing the estimate, waiting out our uncertainty of where we would find a place in time, and then sending us a great crew, receiving a perfect move with nothing broken or dings on walls, to fun people to work with and a touch under the estimate was a perfect moving day! Moving just has its stressors and to have this part be in good hands is vital. I give this company ten stars! You can bet on who we will call when we move to our dream home destination! read more

The guys, Alan, Sam and Roy, were extremely helpful and funny! Sam brought one of our cars down, when he heard me say that I was very anxious about driving down there! They all went far above and beyond!!! read more

These guys made everything easy! Felix, Troy & Raymond made short work of my 3 story condo move. I was impressed how they wrapped all the big, bulky & delicate items & wrapped the doorways. They were patient when I changed my mind on furniture placement. They made a crazy day run smooth. Thanks! read more

We had to move with very short notice. Careful Moving responded the same day and sent out someone to meet with me the next day. On moving weekend, they packed all of our stuff and then the next morning moved everything. I was amazed with their speed, yet they maneuvered huge furniture items with care. All the movers were extremely pleasant good dudes. Moving sucks but this was the best moving experience for me and my wife. Even better... the final price for the movers ended up being cheaper than quoted! read more

I just moved 2 weeks ago from Santa Rosa to Rohnert Park. Josh and his buddy were extremely friendly, polite and professional! Moved my everything perfectly! Not a scratch on anything! They were fast and careful! Highest recommendation! Thank you, guys! read more

Nice enough guys doing the moving, but multiple appliances and furniture put back together incorrectly.

I first used this company over 30 years ago when it was called Bastian's Moving. I have since used them several more times to move me. This most recent move on 1/26/21 was great. The movers, Roy & Cody, were so professional, pleasant, quick and went above and beyond. I have recommended these movers to other people. read more

My husband and I moved from San Bruno, California to Santa Rosa, California. Sam, from Careful Moving, came from Santa Rosa to San Bruno in person and gave us an estimate. That is above and beyond customer service. The movers, on moving date, Roy, Nate, and Jameal, were amazing, hardworking, and very careful with our furniture. They were at the San Bruno house at the promised time The next day, Roy and Nate, came to Santa Rosa to deliver our furniture at the promised time. They were again hardworking and very careful with our furniture. Again amazing! They placed the furniture where we requested. My husband and I can't say enough good things about Careful Moving and the hardworking and careful movers they have. We were very pleased from beginning to end. Thank you Careful Movers!! If you need movers, hire Careful Movers!! read more

Steve was impressive upon the first "estimate" visit to our home and during the discussion of our somewhat complicated moves (including long term storage) and the costs associated with it. Unfortunately, Steve's communication thereafter was minimal if not almost entirely non-responsive. We did not know if our second move was confirmed or happening until the day before and after many phone calls and e-mails. When I did finally speak with him on the phone he seemed confused and uncertain. Although I thought Careful Movers had a lot of room to improve, I have to say that Wyatt in particular was a stand out crew member and I think the only reason our move was successful. He was attentive to our requests, kind and went above and beyond. He was clearly the leader of the additional crew (who were young and not very experienced and did damage some items--they were polite though). Wyatt was a lovely and outstanding person and I am so grateful we landed him on our crew for a move which might otherwise have been a disaster. If you do choose Careful Movers I suggest requesting Wyatt and tipping him generously for his efforts. read more

My husband and I needed movers primarily to move our large furniture from our rental to our new home about 2 miles away. After calling 3 other moving companies, I felt Careful Moving was the most honest with timing and had the best pricing. I was able to easily set up a day and time as well (and keep in mind they are busy! So call ahead). On the day of the move, two young gentleman, Roy and Nick, showed up on time (even called when they were on the way), and first thing they asked was for an overview of what needed to be moved. They then carefully and efficiently proceeded to move all our things into their truck. We wanted our mattresses and box springs covered too and they did that without hesitation. After loading all our items they took a quick lunch and met us at our new home. Roy and Nick were courteous the whole time and I have no complaints whatsoever. It was a great and easygoing experience! read more

We moved to Petaluma Ca from Roseville on May 23, 2017. This is the second time we used Careful Moving and Storage. We were so happy to have Wyatt for both moves and his helper Jeff was great also. It was so hot but they never stopped. Not only are they hard workers but have a great sense of humor. We had to keep canceling our move date because of the delay with closing escrow on both houses. Steve was very accommodating and worked with us to get the move date rescheduled twice. Hopefully we won't need their service again, but we would definitely not think twice about using them again. John and Susan DiCello Petaluma, CA read more

We are having our flooring replaced and needed movers to store furnishings temporarily in our garage. Today, Careful Movers sent Sam and Cody to do the move. They carefully moved items after securely taping furnishings that needed taping. They handled our delicate piano with kid gloves. Sam and Cody were prompt, efficient, professional, careful, and respectful of our concerns and needs. I wish all local moves were this easy. When flooring is completed we will ask Careful Moving to return to move furnishings back inside the house. Thank you for sending such an excellent pair of movers. read more

The team at Careful Movers just helped us move a full house over 100 miles. The loading crew was on time, super pleasant, very careful with our belongings, and worked hard to get everything into the truck perfectly. The crew that came to unload were enthusiastic, communicative, and got our mountain of belongings into the house in what felt like a blink of an eye. Sam was great to communicate with, and the estimate was honest and fair. I highly recommend this team for your next move! read more

Steve and Wyatt just delivered a family heirloom armoire to our home. It was large and had to be taken apart and moved upstairs and assembled. It took extra time and he honored his initial estimate. Steve took the time to do the right thing. Thanks again!! read more

Incredibly helpful, efficient, and kind! Joshua, even though he was out sick, still responded to my inquiry about our move, and on the day of the move everything went like clockwork. Wyatt, Felix, Jamal, and Roy were the best crew anyone could ask for. They even went so far as to include my kiddos in the excitement of the move :) They disassembled and reassembled our Olympic sized trampoline, which was a heroic feat! Furniture, belongings, and my great grandmothers piano were treated with care and consideration throughout the move. Wyatt and Felix also took the time to make an extra (last minute) run to pick up couches that I had been able to get on Craigslist that day. All in all, a pleasure to work with- Sarah K. read more

I hired Careful Moving for my business move, and I'm surprised I still have a job. First, they showed up on the wrong day, then 3 hours late on the right day. A half hour into the move, 2 out of the 3 movers left for an hour-and-a-half lunch break. 6 hours later, they asked if they could finish the job tomorrow. I said no. 8 hours after beginning, 2 of the guys sat in the truck with the heater running and let 1 guy do all the work. 11 hours after starting, they finished. They didn't unload a thing...just brought loads up on a flat bed dolly for us to unload. The two guys sat in the truck for so long with the heater running that their battery was dead when it was time to leave. On a lighter note, the one employee who did all the work, Cody, was great. read more

I have used Careful many times over the years. They have moved me twice and I recommend them to all my clients (I'm a realtor). Everyone has been more than satisfied so I'm grateful to have them on my team! read more

I am not going to say this was the best experience we have had in moving but I can say that Careful Movers did pick up our goods from 2 separate homes and delivered them to Oregon, on time, and on budget. Everyone that was involved with the move was pleasant to work with. read more

This team was wonderful They came on time and performed with all due speed while maintaining caution and concern for our valuables. They were not given the exact info and had to fetch a larger truck which they did off the clock. We were up a steep driveway and they accommodated that with aplomb. Turned out to be a pretty hot day but it all was accomplished with efficiency. They both worked hard and fast. These guys are professionals! Bottom line: we were pleased and satisfied and would recommend their services to others. read more

I have read all of the comments and can sympathize with those unhappy souls. We did have a good experience with Careful Moving. Moving is tough. They are never perfect, lots of stress, lots of unexpected glitches and it's just a lot of work and money. We have moved 4 times in the last 20 years or so. Usually by nationally known companys. They weren't all that great. Careful Moving is a relatively small company and they were super. The best move of any. We have paid a lot more for a lot less. Careful was on time and on the ball. Attitude made all of the difference. The crew was polite and considerate which goes a long ways. Wyatt and his som Michael did the unloading and were great. The crew was a bunch of harding working young men helping us get through a rough patch. Any move is a rough patch. They get 5 stars for effort and job performance. read more

We recently used Careful Moving. We found them to be extremely helpful and very professional . The crew that helped pack and move us was polite, positive and worked nonstop until the job was done. I highly recommend them for your next move. read more
