Elite movers was the first (and forever my only) company to request lots of pictures with all cupboards open, an approximation of cost and duration, and customer service that took the time to answer all questions. The move day went off without incident. My crew consisted of four strong fellas-my crap being packed left and right, furniture being moved, boxes toted off, things I wasn't taking headed for the trash etc. They were all done by 1:30 or so and headed to the new place so I stopped for pizza/soda for them. All boxes unloaded and furniture placed where requested. Elite finished their job by about 3:30. I like them less now. The remaining boxes to unpack seem to have multiplied in the garage like bunnies but at least they are in one place. Great value for the money and no stress with packing things safely! Give them a call if your next move has you out of sorts.- they won't disappoint. Thank you!

Michael's Moves helped us move today and I cannot say enough about how incredible this company is! First off, we called on Friday, this was a last minute move and Michael got back to me right away, scheduling for Monday (today) was easy, the price is incredibly reasonable and the follow-up and consistent communication is so appreciated!! And :-) The two guys that Michael sent to help us today were fantastic. Chris and Jim were fun and easy going AND professional and worked carefully and quickly (but not too quickly so that all our "stuff" was well taken care of). We had to pack up an apartment, drop half the items in storage and then bring the rest to another home. Everything went smoothly and easily. The entire experience with this company, that I was so lucky to find, was fantastic. We are planning to call them again in a few months when we move the storage items to a new place. And we will recommend this company to EVERYONE needing a moving company. Thank you Michael and Chris and Jim!!!! read more

Michael did a fantastic job. I can't even begin to say how thankful I am for the harrowing move from Oxnard to San Diego, I was really dreading it. He arrived promptly, was extremely professional, disassembled everything and packaged it so everything remained in pristine condition. Upon arrival at the destination he and Stefan had to literally walk 5 minutes each way to the opposite side of the complex after taking an elevator up 4 floors. They did it all in stride and even reassembled everything from bed to tv. I cannot praise them enough and hope that they have continued success long term. Thank you both so much for going the extra mile and really taking care of my stuff in the process. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs to move. I will tell all my friends to use them as well if a move is ever needed. read more

Michael's Moves got my move done on short notice, he answered my call at 6:00am, showed up on time the next day, and worked 13.5 hours straight to get my move done.
