My wife already left a review but they deserve as many accolades as possible…read more We hired OBM because they quoted us the lowest price, but they were also the best and I highly doubt other movers would've gone above & beyond the way they did. We had a challenging move from downtown S.F. to Berkeley, to a house that is in the middle of multiple construction projects. Yet they made everything feel easy. I had gotten food poisoning the day before and we were stressing because we hadn't yet finished packing. But it was no problem--they loaded the truck with the items that were ready to go while we packed the rest. Make sure to ask for Joseph and his team (Fernando and Victor). They arrived a little early so they'd be ready and were the utmost professional while also being a warm and friendly team of guys. We would have them over dinner any time. Because of Joseph I'm now convinced that moving is both an art and an athletic feat. We had a recliner (100lbs) and a treadmill (200lbs) that were too wide to go through a doorway--and yet he maneuvered them effortlessly through without a scratch on either.

Every experience I've had with this company has been professional, efficient, and stress-free. I especially want to recognize Roger and Anthony. These two are absolute beasts. We had an extremely difficult move with multiple stops, heavy furniture, tight spaces, and a very long day. They never once sat down, took a break, or slowed their pace. They worked hard from the moment they arrived until the very last item was unloaded, all while staying positive, professional, and taking great care of our belongings. What impressed me most wasn't just how hard they worked--it was the pride they took in the job. They hustled all day without cutting corners, communicated well, and made what could have been an incredibly stressful move feel easy. If you're looking for movers, stop searching and book West Coast Moving. And if you're lucky enough to get Roger and Anthony, know you're getting two of the hardest-working movers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Thank you again, Roger, Anthony, and the entire West Coast Moving team. You've earned a customer for life.

In a time where customer service seems to be dead and buried, I was incredibly impressed that he spent over a half hour on the phone with me to go over what I had written, and had already implemented new policies and procedures, with immediate re-training for his staff. It is a rare business owner who really listens to his customers, and even more extraordinary to actually make changes without being offended or angry. Because of Jay's prompt response and swift changes to the training of his staff, I have no doubt moving forward that Jay's Small Movers is back on track to being regarded as one of the best moving companies in the Bay Area. Therefore, I have changed my 2-star rating to a five.

I couldn't help but share this story which reflects positively upon this business, and I will definitely use them for future moves.

So I knew no matter how long the move took and with the long distances, I already knew how much the max cost would be up front with no surprises. And they also offer a discount based on the way you paid them. WINNING! And so, I didn't use Pure Moving just once, but three times this month. The first time, I had to move from Union City to a storage facility in Elk Grove and this past weekend we had two teams going, one from San Jose to Elk Grove and the other from the storage facility to our new home. Pure Moving was perfect in all ways possible. They were professional, prompt, efficient, and super friendly. They handled and wrapped items with care and made you feel at ease that everything was going to be safe and secure. They disassembled furniture as needed and reassembled it on site. One great detail, they laid down plastic protectors everywhere to keep things clean and tidy where they would be stepping. And cleaned up all the plastic wrap/coverings, cardboard and tape they used while packing and unpacking. They literally took care of all the heavy - and even the light - lifting! I just want to say thank you to Paul, Nick, Toha, Dan and Symon for taking care of our move and my Family. Moving is already stressful but they made it Pure-ly AWESOME!

We sent our kitchen assembly instructions ahead of time to make sure they were aware. My overall sense is that Carlos is fairly capable and experienced but either his team or him are not as careful as we had damages to our finished wood toe kicks and our lacquer cabinets looked like they had been dragged over nails as they were being assembled. I didn't appreciate that they made 0 mention of it at all and I had to point it out. As the homeowner, I essentially had to baby sit them for 5 days through the install since it felt like they were incapable / unwilling to read the kitchen cabinet installation instructions in detail and I caught several mistakes early on during the cabinet assembly that made me hesitant to leave it unattended. Carlos's attitude was particularly bad through the entire experience as well. Always made it seem like we were inconveniencing him or being too nit picky even if we caught some mistakes. At one point, he even threatened to quit after the assembly but before the installation simply because he had underestimated the complexity of the project. We did have a 1 day delay due to some plumbing / electrical issues but that's pretty typical as far as kitchen cabinet installations go AFAIK. In the end, they were able to get all the kitchen cabinets installed, albeit with a lot of effort from my end due to the more custom nature of the project. The price was affordable and the work was solid (minus the scratches) but for me the bad attitude wasn't worth it.

The last movers I used had a steeper rate... but they were both pretty young. I don't want to be ageist but that kind of matters for this line of work. They're cheaper than most but I didn't consider how strength capacity would impact the overall cost. So when they took like 11 hours to move my 2bd ground floor apartment into a 7x16 storage unit, I was a little confused. But whatever. Then I sat on it and decided to spring for another company that cost more.. but they did finish everything in half the time (even with having to carry things up multiple stairs - something Mr Palm Moving Co men didn't have to do). The only problem is, we realized that Mr Palm Moving Co literally misplaced a whole couch cushion. That kind of pisses me off more. Bc on top of paying over a grand to move once, now I have to figure out how to replace a couch cushion. Or the couch. I would have reported it sooner, but what was supposed to be a 2 week stay in storage ended up being 3 months so yeah i doubt they'll report a cushion in their truck or help me cover the cost. Ugh The good things are they are really nice and they worked really hard. They wrapped everything in plastic wrap and sold me some boxes and included some on the house. Just... they take twice as long as other movers. So if you don't have heavy things or it's a smaller job, their lower rates are worth it?

When it was my turn to move the week before Christmas, I called 3 places to get quotes and SFSM had the best rates, and easy to understand terms with no additional fees or costs. A couple of competitors wanted to charge an expensive service fee, which is confusing to me because isn't your product the service?! I chose the package of 2 hours for $360 based on the amount of stuff I have and SFSM's recommendation during my intake call. Reservation and contract agreement were completed electronically. On the day of the event, Gustavo and Rafael showed up on time and ready to roll. Everything was loaded within 25 minutes and about 35 minutes from San Francisco to East Bay (thankful for no traffic), parked and unloaded in a timely manner. Thank you SFSM for everything.
