Regarding a within Ventura County move of several items of furniture. Dean & Son's called the morning of the pick-up to reconfirm time, they were prompt, can-do in attitude, capable, and very efficient. The main item I was concerned about was a large, very heavy, high-end leather sofa that I thought could easily be damaged during moving. NO WORRIES! They encased the sofa to prevent any scratches to the surface. Whew! The delivery at the other end was timely, as was the unloading & associated paperwork. I recommend, and will use again when needed. read more

Carlo Dean and son Giovanni are super easy to work with! They're personable, were careful with my items, respectful, on time and made the most of the time he allotted for the job. I recommend Carlo highly! Trish M read more

If I could leave a lower star I would. Set up a move 3 days in advance and scheduled our work days completely around them. Was supposed to start at 9am, never showed up.... Called the owner who said "well you didn't text me the address" to a different cell phone number even though he was provided the correct address when setting up the move. He apologized. Said he would make it right; by scheduling the team to get here between 12pm and 1pm the same day to get the move done, so we rescheduled our entire day. No one showed up again, and now the company phone line is off. What a joke. read more

I called to schedule the day prior to the move. I was told 11am arrival. I rented a truck and had it ready. at 10:50 they text to say running late, more like 1pm. 1pm rolled around, and I asked for an ETA. He said 2pm. 2Pm rolled around and I asked for ETA, no response. 2:30,I sent a text to cancel. 2:38 response: 20 minutes away. I replied that I requested cancel, I won't be there. I received a call at 3pm that they arrived. If you really need a Realiable, punctual moving company, don't bother with these guys. Save your frustrations and loss of time and money. read more

I was so grateful to Dean & Son's moving. We had little to no time to pack before we had to get out of our apt and they jumped in and got it done. They were courteous, fast, and they kept working until the job was complete. We have a few pieces of furniture that were hand made for us, and they took great care to ensure that those pieces, along with the rest of the truck arrived swiftly and in the state they picked them up in. Hiring movers was scary, but these guys put us at ease with our big move from an apartment to our forever home. We were able to save our friends and family from the laborious and difficult task of moving, and I would do it again in a heart beat! Thankfully, we don't have to... Thanks guys, we really appreciated your service! read more

Quite literally the worst "business" I have ever utilized. Overbooked, they attempted to reschedule our move the night before. When that didn't work, they arrived 7 hours late and sent a high schooler and another young man. Nothing was wrapped, as per their promise, and upon causing so much damage to our possessions and previous home they refused to take our calls. BEWARE!! read more

I was in a tough spot trying to move my studio apartment into a 2 bedroom townhome. My roommate and I could not move a couple of heavy items. I was calling around on Sunday morning (really hoping anyone would pick up) for movers around the Oxnard area. It was going to be costly for us to keep our uhaul an extra day. I feared we just were not going to be able to move the remaining items. Dean was one of the few to return my call and he was very professional. Most importantly he was understanding of our situation and made an exception to help us in a bind. I was thankful I had trusted the yelp reviews I read prior to reaching out to him. He was able to fit us in their schedule early the next morning to help us move some heavy items (tempurpedic bed frame and 3 seat couch, up steep and skinny stairs). The movers he sent were great and you could tell they had experience with our situation. It was no breeze for them to move the items. I would definitely choose to hire them again when I eventually move out of this townhome. I'm thankful for businesses like this where they still care about helping customers even if it means they might take a loss for making an exception. Thanks Dean & Son's Moving! read more

Came to my apartment a couple weeks before and gave me a quote. Then crew was on time. Wrapped everything and moved it down 3 flights. Put everything in place at the new home and did it all an hour faster than the quote. Good group of guys who were good at their job. Inexpensive compared to other quotes as well. Highly recommend read more

Called Dean and Sons to finish up some big pieces on a lingering move. Quoted a very reasonable price and service the next day! They were a little late, but called to advise and apologize. Once they got there, they introduced themselves with a handshake and started hustling. Very careful but very hardworking and efficient. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommend! read more

I cannot say enough good things about these guys. When I initially contacted these guys Carlo was very prompt in responding with a quote. The appointment was super easy to schedule as well. On the day of my move the guys showed up early and ready to go. David and Mike were very kind and professional. My move wasn't a huge one but I had a lot of little stuff which can be a pain, but these guys dove right in and handled the job SUPER FAST! They were kind to my belongings which I appreciated immensely!! When we got to my storage we found out it was on the second floor, I felt so bad but David and Mike seemed unbothered, and again handled it like champs. So grateful I found these guys, If you need movers your best bet is Dean and sons! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again to David,Mike and Carlo for the stellar service!!! *** Drivers told me cash or check only (I wasn't advised of this with the quote) No biggie I got the cash. *** I was moving from Santa Paula to storage in Ventura. drivers advised of an extra fuel charge because the move was not local for them. Its just nice to know these things a head of time, so one can be financially prepared. read more

Can not say enough good things about Dean and Son's Moving! They were amazing for my home move! About a week before my move, I contacted Dean to provide an estimate for my home move. I left a message for Dean and he promptly called me back. He even came out the next day, which was a Sunday, and provided me with all the information I needed to know regarding pricing and the process on packing/moving. Fast forward to day of: Nick, one of the movers, called me about 45 mins prior to their start time informing me they were running a couple mins late - which was okay with me since this allowed me more time to get a little organized at home. When Nick and Zach arrived, they quickly got started packing. Because I had a lot of "stuff", packing took longer than expected; however, these two gentleman didn't complain once! There was a total of 3 trips made and the guys worked until about 8pm. They never complained and truly went above and beyond packing my items (properly, at that, too). When it came to unloading the truck, each and every time my items were taken care of and there was no damage to any of my belongings. Overall, the experience was phenomenal with Dean and Son's Moving and any time I need to move, again, I will be sure to use them! Thanks so much for your hard work, Nick and Zack! read more

I was in need of movers and found this company on Yelp. I decided to take a chance after seeing the good reviews here and I am sure glad I did. Last year I used another company that is well known in this area and they did a poor job and charged me a lot. Rick and Mike moved me from an apartment in Ventura to another in Oxnard as well as a stop at storage to drop off some stuff. They both were super friendly, worked really hard and were fast but very careful with my things. The price was very affordable. I have moved many times and this was in my top 3 moving experiences!! I highly recommend Rick and Mike for your move!! read more

They arrived early, which was nice! Worked non-stop unloading our U-pack. Did a great job! No damage, no fuss. They helped build our frames for our mattresses, lifted heavy furniture etc. They work hard for their earnings. They really do! read more

Mike & Evan were amazing. They were on time and professional. They moved me from Oxnard to Ventura and stopped at a storage unit on the way. Reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend them. read more

Josh and Michael were great! Very pleasant during a difficult move on a hot day. I definitely recommend. read more

I contacted Dean & Sons to help a Veteran family move their items into their new home after being displaced by the aftermath of the Thomas Fire. He was immediately willing to partner with my agency and accept Third-Party payment. Carlo Dean, the owner, was absolutely wonderful. He gave a fair price and was willing to go above and beyond to make the family's move quick and easy. There were a few "hiccups" throughout the day such as the family having more items than expected and two storage areas but Dean & Sons helped them work through it without incident. I am so appreciative of their effort and desire to help this family. We will definitely be using them again to move future families that use our Program! read more

My wife and I were in the middle of house buying when the COVID-19 lockdowns began. The sale went through quickly and we were faced with an awkward realization that we had to move quickly and had few people willing to help. Worse we have this HUGE heavy bed and mattress with vibrating motors; a bed I swore I'd set fire to rather than move again. Just kidding but I hated the idea. So we opted to hire movers. My wife contacted Dean & Sons and set it up. The rates were reasonable and they were available. Talk about "essential personnel"! Joseph and Luke arrived on time yesterday. Joseph explained the process and cost. We went through the list of what needed moving, mostly the heavy furniture. Then they set to work. Very efficient and very communicative. Explained what they were doing next, verified what we wanted done. And they moved pieces I swore couldn't be moved upstairs, even our bed. They were clean, polite, and patient. So much so I thought Jospeh must have been military at one time. But he hadn't. Outstanding work. Highly recommend them. read more

Dean and Sons Moving was nothing short of great with our move from CA to AZ. They were very courteous, professional and most importantly, on time! We loved the fact that all our items were delivered without anything broken, unlike some other moving company experiences we've had in the past. It was refreshing to having a experienced staff helping us through the process. They truly had great customer service and we can't recommend them highly enough! They also run specials so make sure to check their website or give them a call to see what specials they are currently running. It saved even more money on their already competitive rates! It's rare to find someone who actually cares about you and treats you like family! If we ever move back to CA, we'll be calling them first! read more

I had used this company to help me and my family move into Oxnard. The owner Carlo never showed up to the job although he said he was going too. The workers were very good at moving except they were given no equipment by their boss so they had to go out and get mask, moving equipment. I feel more sorry for the workers, bad business skills by the owner read more

They charge you per hour for their commute to you, but they don't tell you this up front. So while they say they service the whole LA area, what you'll find out is that you're gonna get charged 70 dollars an hour for them to sit in traffic coming from Ventura. That's in addition to a 35 dollar fuel charge. I paid 315 dollars (cash only - no checks or anything else) for 4 hours of labor from 2 guys, which is a little steep, but not too bad. Turns out though, 2 of those hours (140 dollars worth) went to pay them per hour for them to drive from their home in Ventura to Westchester. They arrived at 12:40, and by 2:40 they were getting ready to leave, even though the tasks I had asked to get done weren't done yet. I had to call the boss and talk to him to get them to not leave me without all the work done, and he just begrudgingly agreed to let them stay another half hour (til 3:20), which got the big item done, but not all the stuff that I had wanted to get done. In the end I got 2 hours and 40 minutes of work (only after forcing that extra 30 mins out) , but paid for a full 4 hours PLUS a 35 dollar fuel charge. I will repeat, they did NOT mention that the clock starts ticking as soon as they leave their houses to the job site. I've never heard of a moving company charging this, and I'm sure most Los Angeles residents would love to be paid 70/hr for their commute to work, but that's not how commuting works. I will give the caveat that the 2 guys who were helping with the move were friendly, courteous, and did a good job (although not a complete one since they were forced to leave before the full four hours). The problem is the boss, who will charge you for the drive, but not tell you. I coulda easily hired a 10% more expensive person right down the street, and gotten the full 4 hours worth. read more

Highly recommend! On time. Excellent pricing. Took extra care to make sure the furniture wasn't damaged. Worked with several people's crazy schedules. Extremely nice & professional staff. I've worked with movers before & I'll never use another company again. Thank you for making it so easy ! read more

We had the most amazing service and experience with our move. Joseph and Luke were incredibly hard workers and they were kind and careful with our items. Thank you Dean and Son's moving and Joseph and Luke for showing up and exceeding our expectations. We got caught in the middle of moving and Covid-19 and we weren't sure we would have help to move. I highly recommend this company and these guys for your moves. read more

NO SHOW. UNRELIABLE. UNPROFESSIIONAL. Sorry can't give zero stars. Arranged move with Dean and confirmed the night before. Waited an hour at arranged site, but Dean And Sons movers never showed and didn't respond to my text and message left on his voice mail. read more

Not being from this area I relied on reviews to help me find a mover. Let me express all of the positive reviews are valid. I needed several heavy items moved on short notice. The guys arrived within the 30 minute window they said they would. They were VERY professional & took care wrapping & padding my items. They didn't waste any time & were very efficient. I highly recommend Dean & Son's Moving Company. Thank you. read more

I moved December 23rd and everything went flawlessly. In fact, the total was actually less than what I was originally quoted. Super nice and friendly guys too. read more

Horrible customer service. Cancelled the day of leaving our entire family in a huge lurch. We had taken the day off of our jobs, our dad is in the hospital due to a stroke and we explained everything to them prior to arrival. We provided a detailed description of large furniture, how many rooms etc. and even said we did not think 2 guys were enough at estimate. They showed up and said too big of a job unless we wanted to pay double almost triple the price. They then just left. We have moved several times and have never encountered such dishonest, rude, price gouging service. read more

These guys were amazing! I had to move in June from across town. They arrived and got to work quickly. Making sure to wrap and tape anything that did not look secure. I have a sleep number bed which is troublesome to move and they were able to help us get it apart and move it. The two men moving us were very kind and helpful. We arrived at our new house and they moved quickly and efficiently to place everything in the rooms I labeled on the boxes, and stack everything in the garage. It was a pleasure working with them. read more

SAVE YOURSELF FROM THESE MOVERS - please read this: they hung me up and did not show up. When I booked the job almost a week in advance, the owner, Carlo asked me to work with him and allow him to start at 12 PM instead of 9 AM because he had a quick early move and I said ok and went along with it. On the day of the move (today) they are already 40 minutes late when I called Carlo the owner and he said that they are running late and he said it will be later than 2 hours late and I should wait for their call when they finish the previous job...(what choice did I have so late in the day now) I said that I'll wait, but try to start my job soon. Carlo then apologises for not calling me to tell me he is running late and he gives me a feeble excuse of forgetting the last 2 numbers of my phone number (is that a way to do business?) It is his responsibility to call me if he is running late. Period. Then around 3:30 PM I get a call from one of his movers telling me that they will not be done on their job before 6PM. I called Carlo who should have been professional and call me himself, instead of having his worker call me. I missed the day's work tomorrow because I had to hire another mover. I have lost over $350 because of the incompetence of Dean and Sons. I had a pay for an extra day's rent where I now live and I'm also missing a days work and pay caused by Dean and Sons. This was a nightmare! Movers need to be reliable and professional. I hired Dean and sons because it is a local family business, and I support that. read more

Just used Dean and Son's to move my apartment furniture into a garage for storage. Can't say enough good things about the job the guys did, quick, courteous and professional. Would definitely recommend! read more

DO NOT HAVE THEM PACK YOUR FRAGILE ITEMS. DO NOT COUNT ON THEM TO BRING ENOUGH BOXES, ETC. CARLO DOES NOT KEEP HIS AGREEMENTS. I have been using Yelp a lot for different services lately related to moving as well as for other needs that have come up. I have had great experiences with the service providers I've found here up until hiring Dean and Sons. I had started out the day feeling surprisingly relaxed and organized for a smooth move. I asked to have a brief strategy check-in before they started. I told them that I had a lot of back pain and would rather they work a little slower so I would be set up for as much ease as possible with unpacking. Their response was that their boss would get upset if they took too long. They were so rushed, instead of helping minimize the stress of moving, as stated in their Yelp profile, a tense atmosphere was created by the very evident anxiety of one of them. I found Carlo to be quite unprofessional. The guys who did the job were alright. They had a very inadequate supply of boxes and packing materials. So they had to use several of my garbage bags and carried some items out separately that could've been boxed together. What kind of professional moving company cannot execute this basic foundation of a safe, efficient move?! As I unpacked the next day, I discovered that because of the shortage of boxes and packing materials, a tall, linen box was used for packing the kitchen. It was filled to the brim with heavy kitchen items such as a lobster pot and a frying pan, combined with delicate kitchen items such as champagne flutes. The pan is a brand new Green Pan, a special non-toxic, ceramic pan that cost $27. This was scratched. The 2 Champagne flutes were broken. I called Carlo during the process to inform him of the lack of boxes, etc., and how this had slowed the packing and loading. He put the onus on me to come up with my own resolution. He agreed with my request to take 30 minutes off the hourly rate. Then he went back on his word from the previous day that he would take a check and demanded cash. Because of his company's ineptitude, I was inconvenienced twice. It felt like he was retaliating for me asserting myself. Then after I discovered the damaged items, I asked for compensation for the pan in cash. He agreed and we arranged for him to come to my new apartment the next day to deliver it. Then the next day, when I followed up, he insisted on a receipt and a picture of the damage. I was so done with this guy by then, I told him to keep my $27. read more

I selected this company to move my grandmother's furniture from her apartment in Oxnard and transport it to Santa Clarita. I would highly recommend this company over any big Corporation. My customer service was professional, and the two men that came to move the furniture were very careful with all expensive items. This was a last-minute move and I felt at ease. They were on time as well as time efficient, meaning it met the original quote I was given. I would highly recommend this company to anybody in Ventura County looking to move! read more

Scheduled an on premises move which should take about 2 hours to unload a U-Haul Truck of furniture. They confirmed ahead of time; they never showed up. Didn't return multiple phone calls. read more

Really good crew. Packed all our shit up and moved it without complaints with 100 degree weather. Are stuff was hard to unpack because we didn't pack it but it was packed very thoughtfully (lots of paper around everything). read more

Aside from the scheduling mishap in the morning (which they made right) we had a very good experience. Johnny was very professional with the day of scheduling. Devin (?) and the other gentleman that did the actual move were extremely professional and careful. Devin gave us very good customer service in particular and they went above and beyond offering to help with everything. My only complaint was the strange conversations I had with Troy who shouldn't be talking to any customers at all until he goes through customer service bootcamp. read more

This company was very professional and complied with all our needs and requests. They worked fast but took great care with our belongings. I would recommend this company to anyone. read more

These guys were great. Had a short move, but a ton of stuff. 17.5 hours with 4 guys and they all hung in there and worked hard the entire (long) day. Did have a couple insignificant items with a couple bumps and scrapes, but given the scope of what they had to deal with and the overall move, I can't think of any other company that could have done better unless you paid a ton more for white glove service. Seriously. Very personable and skilled. Good teamwork the entire time. Would easily use them again. read more

Excellent and efficient. My now uncluttered property looked great for the buyers. SOLD!

I had a successful moving day with Dean's company. Mike and Zach arrived on time! Dean was also timely, professional and flexible. The move day couldn't have gone any smoother. Friendly and accommodating with every request I had. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend Dean's for your next move, furniture transfer etc. Thank you Dean, Mike and Zach for making my most stressful day effortless and enjoyable!!! read more

Hired a few weeks ago, checked in a few days prior, everything was all set. Then the morning of the move where my family is loading up a truck to move out of state they are a no show. Won't return text messages or phone calls. Beyond unprofessional, this is despicable. It's stressful enough having to move out of state all in one day then to get screwed by your movers without warning... despicable. read more

DO NOT USE DEAN & SONS unless you have no other options. I read through many of their Yelp reviews and I think they are doing something to manipulate only good reviews to show. I'm a planner, and contacted Dean to get on his schedule almost a month in advance. He didn't want to see what my move entailed even though I offered and described my home and possessions. He ended up not having my reservation in his calendar even though I called twice and emailed once - That's when I should have scrambled to hire someone else. Even though I described my move, they showed up late due to a sick mover (it happens), took apart the wrong piece of furniture and charged me for their time (total mistake by mover. I labeled the one piece of furniture I needed taken apart and physically pointed it out to them) and I had to spend hours putting it back together. The movers ran out of time to move my residence 1.5 miles away (they said it was late, around 6 pm) and then wouldn't grant me time the next day or day after to finish moving me. Dean dodged my phone calls and one of his employees admitted Dean made all decisions and was focused on "the money". I needed to be out of my home. By the way, I was fully packed, organized, with all boxes labeled and walked all the movers through my house. They took apart the wrong piece of furniture when I went to buy them lunch - my kindness backfired. Oh, and they took forever to drive 1.5 miles since they needed gas. I paid them by the hour and tipped them well, only for zero goodwill to come back my way. This owner doesn't care, snd that why you shouldn't use them! read more
