    Foreman: Jesus and Jose…read more Extremely pleased with services. Moved locally from DTLA to Sawtelle area. No issues with furniture being damaged. Everything was wrapped in blankets/wraps appropriately. They also took apart my girlfriend's IKEA bedframe and put it back together for us in the new apartment. Everything went smoothly. They had extra boxes for us to purchase if needed.

    Do Not Reccomend, be warned…read more I hired this company because of its strong reviews and was willing to pay more for a professional, efficient move. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. I paid about $1,650 before tip, roughly $1,800 total, and ended up with damaged furniture, a damaged wall, a broken TV stand, and an excessively long move. Two of the three movers appeared to speak almost no English, and the third spoke limited English and had to translate for the others. The issue was that the crew could not reliably understand or follow instructions. Several times I made specific requests and was told "OK, OK," only for the crew to continue doing exactly what I had asked them not to do. At one point I had to repeat myself about five times and finally stop them and insist they change the loading order. It should not require an argument to get movers to follow a clear instruction. I own expensive Stickley furniture and other high-end pieces and explicitly told the crew that several items needed exceptional care. I repeatedly asked for more padding and blankets because certain pieces were not adequately protected. On at least two occasions I specifically asked for another blanket, and the mover simply repositioned the existing blankets and kept wrapping. When the furniture was unwrapped, I found scuffs on leather, scratches and chips in wood, marks on my TVs, a broken leg on my nearly new TV stand, and damage to several other pieces. The problem seemed less like laziness and more like lack of experience, organization, and leadership. The time reinforces that concern. My previous move involved significantly more belongings, more preparation by the movers, and a destination about 30 minutes farther away. It also used three movers and was completed in about 5.5 hours, including double drive time. Based on that, I expected this smaller move to take about four hours, five at the absolute most. Instead, it took about eight. Everything except furniture was already packed, I had removed many fragile and awkward items myself, and I had reserved a loading area and dedicated elevator. Even so, individual trips between the apartment and truck were taking roughly 20 minutes despite the distance being only about 32 steps each way. I expected roughly $800-$1,000 plus tip. Instead, I paid about $1,650 plus tip. In my estimation, I paid at least $650-$800 more because of the crew's inefficiency and lack of experience. The most unacceptable incident involved damage to my old apartment. Near the end of the load-out, I found a substantial fresh gouge/chip next to an electrical outlet. I immediately brought it to the movers' attention, and they denied causing it. I had plugged my vacuum into that exact outlet and vacuumed the area no more than ten minutes earlier. The damage was not there then, and it was there after the movers worked there. Damage can happen during a move. What bothered me was being told something that repeatedly that, was plainly not credible. I contacted the company immediately and sent photos. I had to follow up repeatedly before being told the claims department would contact me. The following business day came and went without contact, leaving me to address the damage with my landlord. There was also an issue with the drive between locations. Before leaving, the lead mover and I compared Google Maps and both showed about 29 minutes. The truck then took a different route and arrived about 11 minutes later. Because the company charges double drive time, that effectively became about 22 billable minutes @ 200 per hour. The workers were personable and they did work. My criticism is that the company sent a crew that appeared inadequately trained, inadequately supervised, inefficient, unable to communicate effectively, and unable or unwilling to follow clear instructions regarding expensive property. I chose this company because its reviews made me believe paying a premium would buy professionalism, efficiency, and care. That is not what I received. I would not use this company again and cannot recommend them

    We recently used Sinatra Movers for a short move within Santa Monica (about 3 blocks). The move…read moreconsisted of about 1.5 bedrooms' worth of furniture and boxes. The 3-man crew worked hard, was professional, and completed the move in about 4.5 hours. I would have given the experience 5 stars, but we did run into a misunderstanding at the end that resulted in additional charges we were not expecting. That said, after following up with the company, they reviewed the situation and resolved it to our satisfaction. To help avoid any surprises, in addition to using a "Yelp Guaranteed" mover like Sinatra, I'd recommend confirming a couple of things ahead of time: 1. What materials (especially shrink wrap and tape) are included versus charged separately--and what those costs are. It's also worth asking for an estimate of how much may be used, as those charges can add up quickly. Our move, for example, used six rolls of shrink wrap. Tip: If you want to manage costs, you might consider sourcing your own materials in advance as it can save you quite a bit. 2. Whether any of your items may be considered heavy or bulky and subject to additional charges. That all being said, we appreciated the Sinatra team's hard work and their willingness to work with us to reach a resolution. We would definitely consider using them again.

    Honestly, I've lost count of how many times I've used Moving Pro Inc., which should tell you…read moreeverything you need to know. I keep coming back to them because they make the process completely seamless. Most recently, they handled my move from San Francisco down to Los Angeles last month. It was a bit more complex because I needed them to put my things in storage first, and they handled that transition perfectly. When I was finally ready to get into my permanent place, they made the move-in part just as easy. It's such a relief to work with a team that actually shows up on time, handles your stuff with care, and stays professional the whole way through. You aren't just getting people to carry boxes; you're getting actual pros who know how to manage the logistics, storage included without stressing you out. Pricing is always fair for the high quality of service you get; definitely great value in my book. If you're looking for a moving company that you can actually trust, I really can't recommend these guys enough. They've earned a customer for life with me!

    This will hopefully be my last review of Moving Pro because hopeful I am done moving…read more I think I have used Vicky, Haim and Sergio about five or six times now. The crazy part is that I stopped even getting competing bids after the first time. There is no way I would use anyone else. You can go ahead and compare prices when it is your turn to move but don't forget that there is a HUGE part of moving that goes beyond the cost.

They never complained and kept pushing through. Jose was great at communicating too. And they ask questions instead of assuming, which I appreciate a lot. I just wish the scheduling person was as communicative as Jose. The scheduling experience was not great - the person on the phone kept mishearing me. I clearly told them my house has 2 bedrooms and a bonus room, but in reality they only planned for moving 1 bedroom, resulting in understaffing, which made me ended up paying more because of the long hours and overtime. The scheduling person didn't even get my name right...the scheduling experience was pretty bad. But the actual moving experience was good. I guess next time I will just have to be extra cautious with the scheduling office.

They were friendly and respectful, so patient with our kids as they wandered a little too close to the action, and handled everything with care. They expertly disassembled and reassembled our beds and dining table, and somehow wrestled our ridiculously heavy marble dining table without complaint. Honestly, I barely broke a sweat all day because they were so efficient! They took what would have been a very stressful move and made it feel organized and manageable. I'd absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a move!
