I was referred to Lambert & Son by my realtor, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Michelle worked closely with me to create a moving schedule that fit my needs, including packing my entire home and coordinating delivery to my new home. She was incredibly thorough when preparing the estimate, carefully calculating the packing supplies, number of movers, and overall logistics. She even had Bill come out to assess my new home and determined that because of my narrow mountain driveway, they would need to use two smaller trucks instead of one large truck. That level of planning made all the difference. The moving crews arrived on time and immediately got to work. They were organized, professional, and asked thoughtful questions whenever needed to ensure everything went smoothly. In addition to moving my household, they disassembled seven industrial storage racks in my garage and reassembled some in my new garage and others in the space above the garage. Every container was clearly labeled so the correct items went upstairs or into the garage, making unpacking much easier. I especially appreciated how accommodating the movers were with furniture placement. They were patient and willing to adjust pieces until everything was lined up exactly where I wanted it. Their attention to detail was outstanding. Both crews--the packing team and the delivery team--were professional, respectful, hardworking, and genuinely friendly. Moving can be incredibly stressful, but they made the entire process far more enjoyable than I ever expected. Michelle stayed in touch throughout the entire process--from our initial planning conversation to confirming every detail before the move and following up afterward to ensure everything went well. Her communication and customer service were outstanding. The entire experience was seamless, and I highly recommend Lambert & Son to anyone looking for a moving company that truly goes above and beyond. read more

We had the pleasure of using Lambert & Son for our move from La Selva Beach to Aptos. They are, by far, the best movers I've ever had. They were SO efficient, careful, and flexible. I've never had movers get everything done so quickly. We had them move a 3 bedroom townhouse to a 4 bedroom single-family home, and they able to pack all the furniture up and move it in in around 4 hours. This was not an easy move, either. They did an amazing job, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. I definitely plan on using them and recommending them for all moving needs in the future. Thank you sincerely! read more

I bought a huge, built-in, $10,000.00 refrigerator from Lowe's. They were supposed to bring it into the house for me and at the last moment, refused to do so. They just left it in front of my house. After a futile attempt to get it moved, we contacted Lambert & Son. These men were so capable, polite & business-like that I just have to recommend this business. Many, many thanks! read more

I just can't say enough about Lambert and Sons Movers. I'i have moved numerous clients with Lambert and sons Movers. Bill Lambert and his crew are prompt, professional, polite, courteous, physically, very strong, have excellent moving equipment, and consistently move the most delicate furniture without damage. They wrap everything. They sincerely know what they're doing and I trust them with some of the most expensive furniture you would find in Silicon Valley. I wish I could give them 10 stars. Thank you, Bill for another great performance sincerely, Ron. read more

We needed movers at the last minute and they were available. They arrived on time did the move quickly and it was very affordable. I would use them again. read more

We called last minute and Ramon came to help us load our U-Haul. He worked incredibly efficiently and carefully. Expertly wrapped all of our furniture, and packed the truck like a perfectly fitting puzzle. He was kind to top it all off. The rate was great and I would call them again in a heartbeat! read more

The 5 stars yelp review is there for a good reason. The movers are very professional show up on time and are very careful blanket wrapping the furniture and bubble wrapping all my glassware l highly recommend them for any local or long distance moves read more

Michelle and the whole Lambert and sons team were absolutely amazing. Michelle was prompt, friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. The guys were so awesome. Efficient, clean, responsible and friendly. I got other quotes and some were Less but with all the reviews and a personal referral we went with them. They were worth every penny. If /when we move again we would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone moving. read more

We have hired Lambert & Sons TWICE over a period of three years, as our family relocated during the pandemic for various reasons. It is rare to find a moving company who you can trust, and know they will do a good job. My husband wanted to rehire them for our most recent move, since they had done such a good job for our first move a few years back. Aside from their sheer skill in moving services, they are a family-run business, and seem like genuinely good people. Feel free to message me if any questions - I'd be happy to share more about our experience with Lambert & Son. read more

I feel a little over sold on a 3 person team, the extra for supplies was perhaps mentioned in the paper work details yet missed when I heard the hourly covered "everything". The team was polite and helpful, some damage to plants that moved yet overall everything else arrived without damage. read more

Very personable group of guys, and they actually cared about packing everything up correctly. No wasting time, they had the truck packed up complete in no time and ahead of schedule. No games, no nickel and diming. I had my own truck, and it was a 700 mile trip, not one broken or scratched item, these guys packed well. Be careful of companies that say they're in Santa Cruz, but are coming from far away, then charge you for gas and travel time, again, these guys did none of that. Also, be careful of companies that are literally within 10 miles of your home and try to charge you as well. Highly recommend this company. Again, no games from this company, straightforward and no nickel and diming. read more

I had a two person moving team help me unload a moving container/pod and bring a bunch of stuff up a flight of stairs to my new place. It was a small job but they did an excellent job of moving my stuff and re-assembling my dining table. Very friendly team of movers. I would happy hire them again and recommend them to anyone. read more

We recently purchased a new home in Santa Cruz and were in the position of locating a moving company. I did a little research online and found "Lambert & Sons Moving". We moved somewhat locally from the Mountain View area back to Santa Cruz near Soquel. I believe in supporting local business's and found LSM to have some great reviews on YELP and reached out to them. Michelle made planning easy and was able to quote me by phone and text after I took some pics of the current home and belongings. We packed a great deal of our belongings but fell short and their team stepped up and took away my fear and helped by packing the remaining. The team that came were experienced and friendly. From the moment they arrived I felt reassured and grateful to have selected this company to handle our move. I personally want to thank the team that did our move, "Noel, Adrian, Ricky and Nelson"!!! They were FANTASTIC and really helped reduce my stress during this relocation! I recommend Lambert and Son's Moving to ANYONE who is moving!!! Thank you again!!! FIVE STARS!!!! read more

Lambert and Son moved our family to a new home. The team, led by Noel, were hard-working, high energy, and communicative throughout the long day. We really appreciated their professionalism. All of our belongings arrived in great condition. They even move plants! Their price was much more reasonable than a competitor's bid, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

We had the Lambert outfit move us from one place in Pacific Grove to another on 15 May. They are a very professional moving company and we recommend them without hesitation. From the initial chat with administrator Michelle, to the end of the 7 hour job, the three movers were amazing. Our crew was Ramon, Ricky and Sabu. So energetic immediately, polite, strong, fast and even jolly. They enjoy their jobs at Lambert and it shows. There were no surprises when it was time to pay. All checked out. Will use them again when we move again. Tip the movers, they must have expended 5,000 calories each moving us! read more

Over the last 10 years Lambert and Sons has helped my business and its clients out at least 7 times with office and home moves. Each move has been complicated in its own way, a few with very short notice, and most included several stops and a dump run. Every single time Lambert and Sons has been able to help, and each of the crews we have worked with has been professional, friendly, careful and efficient. Rates have been very reasonable as well each time - great value! We will definitely be calling Lambert and Sons for any future moves, and I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

This review is not about the quality of their services. I heard lots of good things about them and so I wanted to get a quote and get on the schedule. I called several times and was promised a call back and never got it. My wife even called them and said they'd call back. Nothing. Not even a voicemail. I even sent in a request through their website. Nada. I didn't want to write this review but felt it was necessary because after several attempts to contact, there was zero communication back to a willing customer. read more

We've used Lambert twice now--first for our move from San Jose to Santa Cruz and more recently to pack and store the contents of our kitchen during a remodel. We have also recommended them to friends who needed to empty their house for construction. We all agree they are professional, personable, and reasonably priced. They even moved our baby grand piano without a hitch. I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

Lambert and Sons movers moved me from Santa Cruz to South Lake Tahoe in April 2020. That's right; the beginning of the pandemic! They were on time, efficient, and there was zero damage to any of my items. They even moved my house plants which have survived these last three years! They were also the most economical of the 3 bids I acquired. Thanks Lambert and Sons for taking such good care of me and my belongings during an exceptionally stressful time!! read more

Lambert and Son assisted me with a move to two states away. A huge endeavor. They were courteous, skilled, responsible, reliable and communicative every step of the way. From initial walk-through and estimate to delivery on an island, Lambert and Sons were The Best. I recommend them very highly. read more

These people are phenomenal. They are timely, they're honest, they are fair, and they bend over backwards to work with you and your needs. They arrived on moving day when they said they would, they brought the crew they promised, they moved steadily and efficiently. They treated my property with respect. The same crew delivered my furniture with the same efficiency and gusto. They were awesome I highly recommend. They are wonderful wonderful people. read more

We had Lamber & Son come and unload a 16 Ft POD for us. First of all, they accommodated our needs on short notice and we're quick to respond and get us scheduled. We had a three man crew and they unloaded a 3 bedroom house worth of stuff SO FAST. They were really professional and kind, and treated our belongings with care. And they worked the whole time with smiles on their faces. Definitely recommend them and will be using them again in the future next time we need movers! read more

Michelle at Lambert and Son was so helpful on the phone. I can tell this company is all about providing the right service. I was pricing out a very small move from Northern CA to Southern CA for my mom. For us, it was more cost effective to purchase the furniture new at the new location so we didn't end up using their service. However, Lambert and Son was the only place that took the time to look for ways to try to make it work such as bringing up an idea of using a small trailer to make it more cost effective or tagging along another move going south. Michelle was helpful, professional, and friendly. I like that it's family owned and they are about providing good service. Please continue to do what you guys do well! Thank you! read more

Why I gave a 1 star is the two of the workers are work hard, but one worker dropped things at least two times, and didn't help a lot. I knew my new place have steps and narrow entrance and the sofa is heavy. However, the crews looks like no much experience, they didn't wrape the furniture. Even the soba is fabric, they didn't do any protection. The team has three crews, but only two men lifted the sofa, one crew just stand in the side and use his mouth. My sofa's fabrics were scratche. It left holes and some dirty marks. It makes me feel so bad. The company did not assigned enough crews with moving experience. read more

See all

I have had other movers and none as good as Lambert & Son. From Bill Lambert the owner to the excellent customer service I received from Michael their scheduler and especially to the crew led by Noel who moved us. They were on time and very personal and a joy to work with. Each member (6) were hard working and were able to pack our 4 bedroom upstair home in record time. Once we arrived at our new home the current owners movers were still there and Noel's crew were able to move us into the garages as planned until we remodel. Their organization skills as a team were amazing. If I ever decide to move I will definitely use Lambert & Son. read more

Great job, 2 man crew were hard workers, careful, there is nothing to complain about.

Had to move some large furniture out of the garage to have the floors repaired. Lambert & Son Moving was able to quickly accommodate a last minute move out date and they're storing it at their facility until work is done. Great scheduling service and excellent moving team. Couldn't be happier for how easy it went. read more

We have used Lambert and Son for full move ins, container loading and, unloading for construction work and they are fantastic. Our jobs are usually pretty quick so the 2 hour minimum stings a bit, but I get it, they can't just go around doing half hour jobs and sustain the business so it's totally fair. They are very careful, super good at complicated angles and really fast. Bonus that the front office can usually squeeze my jobs in even when they are super busy. And they are usually very busy so call in advance. So much better and more safe than doing it yourself. Pivot!! read more

I chose Lambert & Son due to their great reviews. I suppose I am unlucky this time or others just haven't spoken up. Great group of guys...reasonable rates compared to other estimates I obtained. The movers need training however in handling furniture gently. They broke a shelf in an antique sideboard. Broke a leg on an armoire and when gluing it back together they got gorilla glue on my freshly refinished wood floors. They broke a leg on a queen bed. They chipped paint on an antique sideboard, and also chipped paint on a day bed. I am still unpacking...found three irreplaceable broken plates that their packer packed. That was the last straw..I felt I should say something but of course they only accept phone calls through a service. I feel bad about a negative review, but the owner of this company needs to pay attention to his hires. read more

These guys are the best. Hard working and trustworthy. I've had to move a lot and they're my go to movers after many not so great moves.

I'd like to Thank the entire Team at Lambert & Son for being such an integral part of me selling my home in Santa Cruz and assisting me in my eventual move once I found my new home. Being able to store my belongings with Lambert, along with electronic monthly billing made everything so much easier. I simply had to call and let the Team know I was ready for my furniture to be delivered. The Moving Team is Top Notch, going the Extra Mile to ensure my belongings were protected, stored and moved with care. Alvaro, Clester and Noel managed to fit all of my belongings onto one truck- a Miracle!- which also saved me from having to schedule a second delivery. They off-loaded the truck in a manner that has made it easy for me to start sorting through all the totes, boxes and furniture. KUDOS! 10/10 would recommend. read more

It started with wonderful Michelle on the phone. I had a last minute issue with another moving company and she was able to squeeze me in the next day. Michelle made the booking so easy. Noel and his moving crew arrived early! They took such good care of my things and made the whole move feel east and smooth. They were awesome! Definitely recommend! read more

Lambert and Son moved my family to our home in Seabright eight years ago. They did such a great job and were such a pleasure to deal with, I had to try them again to move my mom from one apartment to another at Dominican Oaks. They came through for me again. Mauro and Jacob were on time, polite and efficient. They had a great bedside manner with my 90 year old mom. They moved everything in her apartment, packed or not, and got it in the same place in the new apartment. Except for the rehanging of the paintings, which mom wanted to supervise and get them in exactly the right places. Again, they were great with her. Took a little more three hours and was a great value. These guys made what might have been a stress filled day into a cake walk of a morning. I'd hire Lambert and Son again in a heartbeat. Thanks guys! read more

I called Lambert & Son after my booked movers no-showed. They tried VERY hard to find someone to help me, and although they ultimately didn't have the manpower, I was grateful for Justin being quick to answer and do his best to help. read more

My famliy was moving from Los Gatos to Aptos, so I decided to look for movers over the hill. I came across Lambert and Sons Movers on Yelp and gave them a call. I was impressed from the very start. They were the only movers who wanted to come to my home to provide an accurate estimate. They not only were detailed in their estimate - but they told me it was a "cannot exceed number" - meaning that unless we added more furniture or needed additional items moved, the cost of the move would not change. The movers arrived on time, did an excellent job, and handled our items with ultimate care. I would recommend Lambert and Sons to anyone in need of movers in the area. Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Kim McGrady read more

I had some larger, heavier things that I needed moved an hour away. I had been trying unsuccessfully (over a week) to connect with another well-rated Yelp mover. Then, I received a postcard from Lambert and called them- and they called back! They later called to remind me about the appointment, showed up on time, were fast and-best of all- nothing dinged or broken. They even wrapped my mattress without my remembering to ask. Best $1,000 I've spent all year- who needs more stress when you're trying to move, right?! read more

This was our third move with Lambert and Son moving. Exceptional in every category. I highly recommend.

I have used Lambert & Son twice and in both cases they were really efficient and friendly. The team doing the move is super nice and you can see how they are very careful when moving furniture inside the house so as not to bang the walls or do any damages. They were on time, flexible with the schedule (which I had to change once). They made sure ahead of time that they could drive their truck up the little roads where our house is. I had zero problems with them. Nothing broke. Everything was great. Great smiles and nice guys. You can't go wrong with them! read more

I used Lambert & Son twice within one year due to moving to a new job. The first time I used it was last year this time, and the service was excellent (I was moving locally, so only a mile away). Since I was satisfied with last year's service, I decided to use them again for a long range move. I was very nervous about the move because, well, moves are stressful, and I had a lot of stuff including a queen-sized bed + some other furniture + a lot of boxes. My new place also is also on the fourth floor which has no elevator. I was wondering if they could do it. I scheduled a quick appointment with Bill Lambert, and he immediately said he could do it in under one week notice. He warned me about the city's limits with moving trucks, and I checked if I needed any special permission, and everything was fine, so we proceeded (thanks for warning me!) One the day of the move, Ryan and Matthew (two brothers) came at exactly the time of the scheduled move. I went to grab some breakfast so I headed out, and by the time I came back, they were almost already 80% done moving everything into the truck. They were even able to get two tricky piece of furniture out of my very narrow corridor. I was AMAZED by this, and I'm still mind blown on how they did it! Once we all arrived in the city far away, they again efficiently and professionally moved everything up four GRUELING flights of stairs. I have serious respect for these two because not only did they not complain ONCE, but they were doing it with a smile and some jokes to make it lighthearted. I am SUPER impressed with Ryan and Matthew, and I will not hesitate at all to use their service again in the future. Sorry to Ryan and Matthew's back beforehand though because those stairs must have been tough haha. I would give them 10/5 stars if I could. THANK YOU RYAN AND MATTHEW for making this 0 pain for me! read more
