From contacting Movegreen to moving in, everything has been smooth & prompt. Nick won me over by doing a facetime inventory consultation to base the quote on like a day or two after I sent the initial inquiry. I got automated reminders when the crew would show up. On moving day, William + two other amazing guys did all the heavy lifting. They brought blankets and taped up everything super securely. Very polite, professional, and super strong! I felt so fortunate that they were lifting my planters and all the boxes from the 2nd floor. Once we got to the new place, they were super swift and made sure to check in for directions on where to place stuff. Thanks so much for a wonderful move! read more

So grateful that I had Move Green do packing before my move. Huge relief even though they underestimated materials and charged more. They are polite and professional. read more

We hired Move Green in January 2017 to move our goods and furniture from our 7600SF home in Montecito. While we were initially doubtful about a local company being able to smoothly handle our move, we were very pleasantly surprised by the high level of professionalism and care shown by every single person we interacted with at Move Green. Nick, Charlie and Joe in particular were outstanding at every single step of the move but kudos to the entire team for being very well organized, competent and friendly (attached is a pic of our entire move team). They delivered as promised and we recommend them highly without hesitation or reservation. read more

Move green was amazing, I would happily use them again in the future! First, they were able to answer all my questions via email, which was important since it's difficult to make multiple phone calls during the work day. They were the first of only a few that actually got back to me! They also offered the best deal around with a low minimum (2 hours). I actually ended up needing double that, but it was partially due to me misjudging how much stuff I had! Oops, at least now I know! Fast forward to the actual move day, and everything went perfectly!. They showed up on time, carefully wrapped all my items, and moved everything quickly but safely. Plus they were a ton of fun to chat with, so easy going and personable! They truly made moving as easy and enjoyable as I think it can be. I was so nervous to hire movers for the first time but they made me so glad I did, there's no going back now! read more

I moved last August and when I scheduled my move in, they said they would be at my new place at 10AM to move me in. I drove up from Orange County and stayed in a hotel to make sure we were there on time, plus I had my new puppy so thought it would be easier for all of us. Low and behold no one showed up, they finally showed up around 3PM to move everything in. Once everything was moved in, I realized they put my bed together incorrectly, they had knicked walls when moving furniture around and somehow my TV was shattered which I obviously didn't notice for a couple days until I turned it on. I reached out via email and phone to speak to someone about the bed and the TV but no one ever responded. I had always moved myself in a UHaul with the help of family members, and this is the first time I used a moving service since my husband wasn't here to help. I would NEVER use Movegreen again even if someone paid me to. read more

Movegreen team was very responsive from first contact. Nick came to inspect our home, and I can't remember the two fellas who moved us but they were early, professional, polite and hard workers. We moved from a 2 story to a 3 story and They went the extra mile to ensure our boxes where on the correct room and floor. I'd high recommend Movegreen! read more

Let me start by saying that the move and the movers experience was overall good. They did a great job overall and finished the whole move in expected time. 5 Stars to Movers. But I had few issues with few things which I will clear up, if I decide to chose Movegreen again. - I was given a 2 hour time-slot and was told movers will arrive b/w that time and will give me 20-30 mins heads up before arriving at the place. That didn't happen. I reached out to them after 1 hour 30 mins of the time slot given and 15 mins later I got a message that movers have arrived. Where was the heads up ? Why didn't they call ahead ? - The movers didn't tell us when did our time start. I was told that movers will require my sign off on start time. I guess the time started as they reached the start location. - The Moving Consultant on the phone said that the movers will also help in assembling the bed and clarified this twice but the movers didn't agree to do that because the bed was not dis-assembled by Movegreen in first place. This was not mentioned before during our conversation and it would have been nice if we would have known this before. Now we have to call someone else and and pay them extra. Not having bed assembled was an inconvenience. I guess these things should be cleared up before booking the movers so that you are not surprised on a weekend evening. read more

I used this company for an out of state move. My items left my sight wrapped and secure and in one piece, but upon arrival over half a dozen pieces of expensive furniture items were broken, disassembled and ruined. When I tried to file a claim, they were unresponsive and unhelpful. I do not recommend this company. read more

Do NOT bother calling OTHER movers (they won't respond with quotes at all, half the time). Do NOT waste your valuable time during one of the most stressful times one can have - MOVING! Call Nick Jacobsen, the General Manager, NOW, and get peace of mind already! These guys are the BEST movers I have ever used - they are the GOLD standard for movers. And when your driver and his assistant show up? Get ready for a veritable whirlwind of proactivity and efficient, SMART execution. No wasted steps, no hemming and hawing - they EXECUTE, period. I lost not a single item. My crew, Richard and George, treated my stuff like it was their own. I was soooo happy I bought them dinner! Movegreen DELIVERS. What price peace of mind, eh? read more

We are SUPER pleased with Movegreen and it's hard working, very careful, employees. Having to vacate our home for 9 weeks due to a slab leak which required repiping our entire first floor was traumatic. But, from start to finish, Movegreen removed all our furniture, carefully packaged it, stored and then returned everything in perfect condition. From Braxton in the office to all of the movers, their cheerful "can do" attitude really helped reduce the stress we were feeling. We can't thank this company and it's employees enough for all their help during this stressful time. read more

The packers and movers were so helpful and professional. They treated our belongings with care and they treated us with respect and kindness. The manager in Santa Barbara, Nick, worked hard to accommodate our earlier move date even though we had booked for a week later. During this busy moving season, that was no small feat. I highly recommend Movegreen! read more

Now, this is my first time ever hiring movers. I've always thought it was a "rich-person" thing, and that it was out of my price-range. It turns out that MoveGreen wasn't super expensive (under $300 for a 2 hour move), and they saved me so much time, hassle, and headache/backache. My move was a small one- I was moving from a studio into a 1-bedroom apartment on the same street. In terms of preparation, I packed and labeled everything myself. I used these Avery Removable Moving Labels that had 1 large sticker with the room name and contents, then 4 smaller stickers with the room name for each corner of the box. I also placed signs in my new apartment indicating where I wanted everything placed (ie. "couch/bed/etc. here" with a downward arrow) and had a furniture placement guide taped to the front door indicating which furniture goes into which room. This was probably unnecessary, but I like to prepare as much as possible. I am an anxious little critter and get nervous easily. Getting an estimate for the move was easy- Erik showed up about 5-10 minutes early, looked around my studio, and emailed me the estimate soon after leaving. I think he also used an iPad, Mr. Fancy Pants. I booked the move later over the phone, and was told that I would receive a confirmation phone call the day prior to the move...which I never received. The lack of a confirmation phone call set off my neurotic mind, and I worried that the movers would never show up and I would have to scramble at the last minute. Thankfully, the movers showed up the next day. They were 10 minutes early (God, I love when people are early). Raul and LG introduced themselves to me then got to work!! It was the coolest thing to just sit on my rump, playing games on my phone, while a couple dudes did all the heavy lifting and moving. This is the life, right? Raul in particular was very friendly, enjoying chatting with me, and busted his butt. He went into beast-mode once we arrived at my new apartment. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. LG was good enough, but smelled like cigarette smoke which I didn't like. They both really appreciated the cold bottled water and soda's which I had saved for them at both apartments. I tipped them and they were also appreciative of it. Anyways- if you can save your pennies up, hire these movers. They are friendly, efficient, work hard, save you time and the headache of moving yourself...and they're eco-friendly to boot! read more

Movegreen - Raul and LG parking the truck before my move! - Movers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

So I had a very large, heavy gun safe that I needed to get moved from my garage and packed up and ready to move to its new owners. It's a little scary because the thing is 6 foot tall and weighs 1,225 lbs! No problem here! Matt provided me an estimate within 30 minutes of my phone call. We set up an appointment (which was 3 days later). Miguel, Ricardo, and Ryan arrived on time and in about 30 minutes the job was done! That's some professionalism and experience. I am so pleased with this company. When I get ready to move my home, I'll be contacting Movegreen! read more

See all

Water damage caused major problems and wood floor throughout the first floor had to be removed...thus all furniture removed and stored. Movegreen handled it so quickly and efficiently, reducing the stress of the renovation. Can't thank them enough!!! read more

great experience with the move. Joe and his team of strongmen did everything we needed and made the experience as painless and efficient as possible. We're moving again as soon as 6 months in the future, we'll surely go with movegreen. UPDATE. I wrote the above 4 months ago - we found a house and moved again yesterday and everything I said about Movegreen remains true today. They were great, Joe and his team (so nice to have someone familiar with your stuff) were on time, courteous, efficient, and careful. The move went off without a hitch, I'd use movegreen again without hesitation, although I truly hope I never have to move again! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Movegreen was. From reasonable estimate to carbon footprint consciousness... these guys rock. Our movers, Steven and David, worked so hard and were so organized and friendly. We felt lucky... like we won a contest to have the best movers help us during what could've been a stressful time. Instead it was, dare I say it, fun. read more

I was super impressed with the Watford/Movegreen crew. These guys showed up on time and paid special attention to all of our belongings and treated our stuff like it was their own. Sean as our contact is super polite and thoughtful as to what our needs are and will be for the delivery our belongings. So far we are very happy and I have already recommended them to our real estate agent. read more

My experience with the guys at Movegreen was excellent. No one enjoy the process of moving but Romero and Ruben made the experience smooth, and as painless as possible. They carefully wrapped my artwork and furniture. Never rushed but very efficient. Highly recommend. read more

We had some seriously heavy-duty pieces of furniture that needed to come downstairs. We also needed a very tall antique armoire to be moved out through a window! The guys did an excellent job and where very careful with my furniture and were a pleasure to work with. They also were willing to negotiate the price! Love that! read more

The movers from Movegreen were amazing and extremely helpful. They were so respectful and careful with our belongings. Highly recommend this company. read more

Movegreen was recommended to us by the owner of another moving company who was unable to accommodate us. Our company used Movegreen this week and we were very pleased. Rod was quick in responding to emails and the guys that moved our safe went above and beyond their call of duty! They were FASTASTIC! I cannot imagine a better experience. I highly recommend MoveGreen. read more

I moved from my 1 bedroom apartment on the Mesa to Goleta and I have never had such a pleasurable moving experience! The two movers that helped me were 15 minutes early so we got a head start, and they wrapped all of my furniture and moved everything safely and SO efficiently! Once we arrived to my new apartment I blinked and all of my things were unloaded! Not to mention the guys were super helpful, always asking me where I wanted things placed and were super nice and friendly. After the move they even offered to follow us and take a couple of my boxes to my storage unit! Would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for an easy breezy moving experience! read more

Best move ever! Kenny and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. They made it an absolute pleasure to move. They went above and beyond in every way. On a day that could be very stressful, they made it easy. I would highly recommend and wouldn't use anyone else. read more

Super fast, very helpful, very friendly. We had two locations (1 bedroom apt and a storage unit) to move into a house - they finished the whole thing In less than 4h. They were efficient and I would highly recommend and use them again. read more

We had a great experience with MoveGreen. The estimate was clear, Kim answered all my questions, and scheduling was quick and easy. Junior and his crew did an excellent job making sure our furniture was padded and protected, and they were flexible with some last minute changes. Very efficient and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Professional team, careful, quick and courteous. Will definitely use them again for a move. Highly recommended.

We had five moving companies recommended to us. We picked Movegreen owing to their initial bid, professional approach and familiarity with the location we were moving to. We worked with Sean. He was great. The cost ended up 20% higher than anticipated but the explanation seemed reasonable. The movers were energetic and careful. They kept me informed, arrived on time, worked consistently and were genuinely nice, hardworking guys. read more

I had a great experience with everyone at Movegreen. They responded very quickly to me, everyone was helpful and friendly and the prices were competitive. The movers who came to my house did a great job too! read more

Moving is definitely one of my least favorite activities, but these guys helped not only by moving all my things (and I mean ALL), they were good to be around too. No scratches in my brand new home (where they would show), and all the heavy furniture moved upstairs and my garage sorted so I could navigate through all the boxes to organize. They helped put all the big stuff where I wanted it and checked in to be sure it was all set at the end. The best part was it came in at the quote, which was slightly lower than other movers in town. I wish I could have afforded the packing/unpacking service, but so happy I had them move both my home and business. read more

Eric and Chris did a fantastic job of moving my stuff out of my apartment in Santa Barbara and to my new third floor apartment down south. They arrived on-time, took great care of my things and we're professional and friendly. I'm very happy with the service they provided and would definitely use them again. Thanks guys! PS sorry for all the stairs! read more

MoveGreen movers ripped down a power line to our house with their truck while they were working at the house across the street from us. It knocked out the internet. They never came to the door to let us know what happened. We just experienced our internet connection abruptly stop and finally heard the truck on the street. When we went out to talk with the movers, they didn't take any responsibility. They said "It's not our problem- the line is below regulation height". The line was installed by COX! It was absolutely their fault! The movers were rude and dismissive and didn't lift a finger to try to resolve the issue. We had to contact the fire department, Southern Cal Edison, and Cox- all while the drivers ate their lunch and couldn't have cared less. We had to ask them for the number of their company, etc.- they never offered. Keep in mind- they were moving the people across the street... we were working from home... we had nothing to do with their damage and they are making us handle everything without any apology, kindness, responsibility and placing the blame on someone else. If that's how they handle things, I'd hate to see what they do if they break any furniture, household items or damage property during a move. "It's not my problem". TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL, indifferent, and irresponsible. read more

These guys are awesome. I've actually used them twice. The first time I was on a super tight budget. They were the cheapest out of a few places I called. During the move, I packed everything and even helped lift boxes to speed things up. Normally, when you are charged by the hour, workers don't have much incentive to work fast. Not these guys. They guys were running up the drive way and stairs up to my second floor apartment when they weren't carrying a box. I felt a little bad because they worked so hard, I bought them each a burrito for dinner. My second move was slightly complicated. I shared a house with three other people, and couldn't be around to let them know exactly what was mine. Had to rely on my roommates and numerous phone calls with the manager. He was very understanding and made sure everything was safely packed, organized in boxes and shipped. I highly recommend them. read more

UPDATE: I wrote a glowing review soon after our movers left. It was how I felt at the time. The next day, however, we were putting things away around the house, and found that a very expensive (and very special) chair had been badly broken, and THE MOVERS HID THE DAMAGE FROM US. It was obvious that they knew of and hid the damage because the chair was placed up against a wall (to hold it up), behind other things that were already in the room. The movers had to move other furniture to put the chair back there! Additionally, there was a piece of wood missing from where the leg had been snapped in two. We searched every inch of the area to make sure we couldn't find the piece, because we wanted it for potential repair. The piece was not in our home, verifying that the break didn't happen after the movers left. (We really didn't need this verification. It took a big movement for the kind of break that occurred.) I was so upset that the men who had seemed so friendly, honest and upfront were none of that. And they forgot to get my signature before the job, so after the job, I signed off on insurance by weight. I told them I didn't want to sign it, that it didn't make sense to me at all. But they told me they couldn't leave until I signed, and eventually I gave in. I review legal documents often, and can't believe I couldn't understand the options, and I can't believe I signed it, but I was extremely tired at that point, and I also believed there were no problems. The resolution the company offered was a fraction of what it should have been. I'm still considering going to court over it. I guess I've learned that I should have been checking every single piece of furniture and should have made the movers wait until I did so. I've learned a few other things through this very unfortunate situation, but will end with simply saying that I would never recommend these movers to anyone. They have caused me an immense amount of grief. My review had started: I'm so happy that I went with Movegreen... read more

I was so incredibly disappointed with this company. The first initial visit with Erik went very well. They were about $300 cheaper than the other two quotes and I figured we'd contributing to less waste by going green. In fact, I was so impressed with Erik that I then recommended Movegreen to two other friends who used them for in-town moves. To be fair, both of them have only wonderful things to share about them and the "not to exceed" policy is helpful. My move was a tad more complicated but still, c'mon. You're professional movers. It involved an in-town move, plus moving some items to storage, then months later, moving everything 300 miles away. I've used professional movers before and this company's service did not match other big names. And yes, it pains me to write a bad review (see my history, I rarely do it!) Lots of things went wrong: forgetting to pack a closet and drawers; two major billing errors (example: charging personal credit card and not work-issued credit card - yikes!); movers arriving late each of the three times we saw them; lost (and later found - thank goodness) my large living room rug. These are just the events off the top of my head. Yes, the actual movers (college students or recent grads) were friendly and pleasant to work with. My disappointment largely comes from the management/owners who never sincerely apologized for so many glitches throughout the entire four month ordeal. I had one forced apology via e-mail for one of the many things that went wrong. I would caution those who need a packing service and/or are in need of relocating their items farther than ten miles. read more

Movegreen was great and affordable! I have already recommended them to one other person and would totally use them in the future. Everyone I dealt with was very nice and helpful. We needed to move two apartments (just the bedroom furniture from one, and bedroom/living room/dining from the other) and they were happy to help me arrange the route between a total of 3 addresses. We had moved a lot of the little stuff ourselves beforehand, but the 2 movers were quick with the remaining furniture! The billable time started once they began moving things out to the truck, not when they arrived because they spent time surveying the job/parking. They took a lunch break before coming to our new place to offload, but that time was not calculated into the total hours we were billed. They were late in arriving and explained it was because their warehouse nearer my location ran out of trucks, so they were dispatched from Orange County and ended up having to drive to Studio City in morning rush hour. read more

Wow. I love these guys. We just did an in-town move. We called MoveGreen after 3 different friends recommended them. First, price. The price was very affordable. The quote was reasonable and if they took less time than they quoted, they would only charge for time spent. Thus, the more that we boxed up and moved ourselves, the cheaper it would be. We ended up doing a lot ourselves so we called MoveGreen a few days in advance, telling them how much we changed from our original quote and they adjusted the number of guys that they sent. The final price was VERY affordable. Second, customer service. The guys in the office, via email, via phone and of course, the guys that actually moved us, were all FANTASTIC. Friendly, trustworthy, and helpful. I didn't feel weird having these guys moving our stuff at all. They weren't skeezy or any of the other concerns that one may have with movers. They were also really quick with setting up our 1st estimate meeting and emailing us the quote. Third, perks. They have CHEAP boxes! Don't go to Staples to buy boxes. Just get them from MoveGreen. They also have CHEAP storage. Fourth, green. We're green. They're green. That's cool. I cannot imagine a better experience. I HIGHLY recommend MoveGreen. read more

The guys went out of their way to help me get rid of a large dresser. They were fast and cheerful and the price was right. read more

A+ service. Very professional and courteous crew. Good estimate. No surprises Great communication before and during the move. Highly recommend. read more

Just a great experience with Movegreen. It's been a while since I've moved and all I ever hear is how awful moving is. Nick and his amazing team made it seamless. I had them do all the packing as well as the moving. Everyone had a delightful personality and worked tirelessly. It was 100 degrees today and no one complained once -- we even had some good laughs. Love this company and would highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for a reputable and reliable local moving company, I highly recommend Movegreen. I just moved from SB to Oak View and my two guys Zach and Max were rock stars. First, they arrived on time. Even though I was given a two-hour window, they arrived at the top of the first hour. Second, they were friendly and professional. Third, and most importantly, they were efficient and careful with my things. I had several large and extremely heavy pieces. They didn't complain or worry me that my stuff was in danger of getting damaged. I was particularly impressed with how they handled moving my beast of a couch. It took creativity to move it through the doorway with incidence, a feat the delivery guys didn't accomplish when I first purchased it. I also had two stops, my new residence, and a storage unit. Again, they were pleasant and efficient, even though it was smoking hot and they were visibly getting tired. If you want a company that hires passionate and quality employees, Movegreen is the mover of choice. read more
