I'm so glad I found Movers of Excellence with the help of Yelp. I needed to have exercise equipment picked up on short notice and OJ was there to help me. OJ provided great communication from start to finish. OJ and his coworker, Josh were prompt and the delivery went smoothly. He also charged a fair price. I will definitely call OJ whenever I need a mover :) read more

Great movers-made our move so much easier and had to deal with some specialty items and stairs and still did a fantastic job! Really appreciated how helpful and hard working they all were and would hire them again if we were to move again. read more

"OJ and Jason did an amazing job--fast, professional, and at a great price. OJ offered the best rate in the area without compromising on quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient service!" read more

OJ responded quickly to my request for service. He even managed to stop by to look at what needed to be done. On the day of the move, actually a switch from one room to another, he texted me to say he was running a bit late, a real courtesy. OJ and Josh arrived and came upstairs to determine the order of operations. As they worked, they not only allowed me time to clean under long stationary furniture, but actually helped me do it. They accommodated every request and finished in record time. They provided great service for a reasonable price! Thank you guys! read more

Oj and his team are the cream of the crop when it comes to a moving company. From the moment you call to schedule the assessment of the job requested to the actual moving day. Oj is great at communicating certain expectations on the move date and has great ideas and insight on making move day seamless. He's punctual, super professional, fairly priced and you couldn't ask for a nicer guy moving your treasured items. I highly recommend Movers of Excellence and have used them to move not only my house but my business as well. If there were more than 5 stars to give, I'd give them! read more

OJ was extremely professional and efficient. He responded almost immediately to my request for a quote and even fit me in for a last-minute move, making an exception for a minimum time frame. He and his helper arrived on time and worked quickly and carefully, even arranging furniture in my new apartment. My only request was a receipt for the amount I paid in cash, which I never received, but I was happy with the service, and it was a very fair price. read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would! OJ and his team made our move from a townhouse to our new family home absolutely seamless. From start to finish, they were everything you'd hope for in a moving company -- prompt, professional, and incredibly respectful. OJ treated every single item as if it were his own, carefully wrapping, loading, and unloading with precision and care. His attention to detail and work ethic truly stood out -- you can tell he takes great pride in what he does. Moving can be stressful, especially with a growing family, but OJ and his crew made it feel effortless and stress-free. What also deserves mention is his fair and transparent pricing. There were no surprises -- just honesty, integrity, and hard work. His team communicated every step of the way and worked efficiently without ever cutting corners. If you're looking for movers who are trustworthy, hardworking, and genuinely care about their customers, look no further than OJ and his team. They're the kind of professionals you want in your corner during a big life transition like this. I can't recommend them enough! read more

We had to move out of state, including putting some things in storage. OJ and his team were great: responsive, prompt, kind and very reasonably priced. They helped us every step of the way and will definitely work with them again when we need to get our stuff back from storage. read more

They did an outstanding job moving my furniture. They were professional and the prices are fair.

We moved from Arizona to California OJ was recommended by a friend He responded to me in a timely manner and we set up the move. He arrived on time, made sure our items were packed and wrapped securely. Upon delivery to our storage shed. He was very careful to place boxes in a place that made it easy for us to get to. I did have one other bid and he was very reasonable and did a wonderful job. I WOULD recommend his business to anyone. read more

My wife and I are very picky people and have moved too many times and in this case a relatively short move from Santa Rosa CA to Auburn CA, about a 2 1/2 hr drive. OJ and his two people showed up on time and worked tirelessly and with a friendly attitude even though they had to move up and down the 4 storied building (no elevator). Everything, and I mean everything, was handled and treated with care including our art work. They returned the following morning to disassemble our bed and secure some other items that were left in our garage locker overnight. They arrived at our house in Auburn promptly 3 hours later and worked again tirelessly until every last detail was done to our perfection. In short a very professional and caring moving company whom we very highly and unconditionally recommend read more

I had an unexpected need to have a mattress moved from my downstairs garage to my 2nd floor apartment. Within an hour and a half of my call the owner and an employee (they happened to be coming back from Sebastopol, on the way to their warehouse) were here, got the mattress in the bedroom, unwrapped it and were gone. For a reasonable price! Removing shoes was a small but meaningful detail. It wasn't lost on me. I have a move in my future - I will be calling to be sure this company does it. I can't recommend this company highly enough! read more

OJ- the owner is patient, kind, very reliable and trustworthy. When OJ & I first met, he was on time, shook my hand and I directed him around my house. I showed him everything that needed to be packed professionally. I told OJ I would need help wrapping all the picture frames & boxing them up & he said he could do it for me- since I didn't have proper wrapping materials for all my large frames. I was so happy to have that part taken care of by a professional. Ok game me a written estimate which was very reasonable and over the next 3 weeks OJ and I kept in contact in regards to my moving date. After a bunch of back & forth on my end, I finally got a move date and OJ was very patient & understanding. OJ agreed to come between 8-830am and he sent me a text when he was on his way over, which was very nice to know! OJ is reliable (yet flexible) and he and 2 guys handled all my belongings efficiently, helped me pack the last random things I had laying around and professionally moved all my things an hour away. OJ and the guys worked all day until 6pm and they took direction very well. I never found them taking a break- I felt kind of bad they were working so fast and so hard. They surpassed my expectation and went above the call of duty. It was the BEST amount of money I've ever spent. Thank to you OJ! read more

We moved recently and chose Movers of Excellence after calling several other movers. We chose Movers of Excellence because our interaction with OJ Johnson (owner) on the phone. It convinced us to try his services. GOOD CHOICE. OJ and his crew showed up on time, wrapped everything, labeled what they put in boxes and moved us on schedule and at estimate. He and his two men were friendly, patient and worked steadily. The unpacking was equally smooth with the movers helping us reassemble things. I was impressed. And used them again to move the furniture we left at our former house for staging. Movers of Excellence is worth considering. Moving is stressful and Movers of Excellence made is easy for us. An added bonus was meeting his two workers. They are genuinely nice guys who made moving look simple. Nothing was a problem for them even taking down and packing two bird houses too high for me to retrieve. read more

I was dreading a move from our home after living there for 33 years. I tried to be organized but often got distracted or dejected as I went through all the clutter. So glad we found Movers of Excellence and specifically OJ, the owner. OJ worked with our schedule and helped us take a lifetime of living, storing, (hoarding?) and put it all in his truck. He and his fantastic crew just dug right in and carefully and safely packed our whole lives accumulations into perfectly wrapped bundles and boxes. He moved our family favorite piano and even my wife's treasured concrete bench without blinking an eye. He never said no, his pleasant upbeat personality got us through the stressful days with no drama or problems. Can't recommend his service enough, we are ready to work with him on our next big move! read more

OJ is very professional and knowledgeable. Made my move from San Diego to Santa Rosa very easy. Unlike Ashley, he labeled my boxes correctly and I had no issues. Not sure what she is talking about. I had everything moved to perfection I would let him move my 7 children in boxes across the United States. read more

We move a lot for work. Moving from the North Bay to the South Bay is always a challenge. Movers of Excellence is the only company anyone should ever use when making a move long distance, within counties or even locally! Most of the National and regional carriers were happy to take the call (A&P, Bekins, Global Van lines, Northwest, etc.) , but many did not show up for the estimate, or gave an estimate that required a 2nd mortgage on the house! Then to make matters worse, they could not guarantee the crew as employees or their backgrounds. Gave time frames in ranges ( when they might start) etc. And were non committal on the whole process. Very discouraging. So what about MOVERS OR EXCELLENCE. This is not just a name, but how this company functions. OJ is the guy! He showed up on time every time (estimates, planning, the actual move...). He explained in detail every step of how they would handle every item. He contacted me the day before the move to make sure everything was still on plan. On the day of the move - his team (employees) showed up when they said they would. Had everything they said they would bring, and were ready to go. They did a walk thru to make sure I had no last minute changes, requests or questions. They worked efficiently, made suggestions along the way and showed a real appreciation of the items in my home (many which are one of a kind items collected from the years of business travel). They showed real care in the way they handled each item. I never once had any concern that something would be damaged or dropped or that i would have to do repairs or minor touch ups on my walls or trim. The loading process was incredibly professional. It went smoothly and they were very careful in handling and packing everything into the truck. There equipment and materials are new and very well maintained. The insides of the truck were clean nothing looked as if it had been through 300 or more moves. A real quality act. Before they left our old home they checked addresses, ensured everybody had the right phone numbers and once again, asked if we had any questions or concerns. We did not. Its a long drive to the South Bay, and they did it right on time. Once again a quick walk through and discussion of the new house, where everything would go, and a discussion of any concerns or challenges the new house would create. They set up the unload very quickly and took their time handling the items coming out of the truck with the same care they loaded. They never seemed to be in a rush to finish or drop my stuff and run (as has been my experience in the past with some other movers). They were committed to completing the job with the same commitment to caring, accuracy and yes, Excellence that they began the job with. When done, they asked if we had any other questions, if we wanted anything moved before they left and if we were happy with the work they had done. We were very pleased with the whole experience. If you are considering any move. And you require the services of a moving company. Don't waste any time with the other firms... call OJ and his team at Movers of Excellence and make your life 10 times easier than it will be if you use anybody else. And yes.... they were incredibly reasonable in price!!!! MOVERS of EXCELLENCE. The only group you need to speak to. read more

OJ and his team are the best movers imaginable. They have moved me several times. Each time I have been amazed at the high level of personalized service. They are truly professionals, kind and very efficient in packing and moving. read more

Great Service !!!! OJ is the MAN! He is the best! If you need to move this is the Guy you want to talk to. Kudos to you and your team!

Last month OJ and Justin moved us into our new home. I can't say enough good things about these guys. The move was flawless. I didn't even have to rearrange the furniture after they left. They knew exactly where everything would work best. They worked tirelessly, without complaints and always had a smile. I don't have a lot of experience with movers as we were in our last house for 25 years. I chose them based on excellent Yelp reviews. I would highly recommend this company! If I ever had to move again, I would definitely use them. They really live up to their reputation! Thanks again for the great job! read more

I previously recommended this company to my real estate clients and had excellent feed back. When it was my time to move I called them as well. The crew showed up right on time, they were clean and polite, had the equipment to move everything, covered tile floor areas too keep area clean, moved slowly enough so not to knick walls, but worked fast enough to make it a seamless project. Some items were going to new residence and some items were going to storage unit. They packed the truck accordingly and we were able to complete the whole move in one day. (I already had packed all the small items and identified which location they were going to.) I highly recommend this company for any project. A special shout out to the fellows who worked on my move, Daniel and Aby! read more

I cannot say enough about OJ and his crew Abi and Daniel. I have moved over 25 times, some good, some really really really horrendous. Having this many moves under my belt I should easily qualify as being a Connoisseur of moving companies. I'm always hesitate, extremely picky and have major anxiety before a move. OJ was kind and professional from the start. He gave me a fair estimate and the move was right on target with the estimated price. Abi and Daniel was fantastic! They showed up with smiles on their faces and then quickly got the move started. They were extremely hard working, not once did I notice them even taking a short break to breath.... I don't know how they do it! They asked me every time they unloaded a item where they should my belongings. Not one thing was broken or damaged. If you have any nervousness about who to hire for your move... call Movers of Excellence you will not be disappointed. Trust me. read more

I lived in my former home for 20 years. I hired Movers of Excellence in July, 2014 to move about 55% of the contents of my 5600 square foot home from Northern California to Medford, Oregon. I chose them because their marketing said they understood how to take care of very high quality valuables AND because their Yelp ratings were so high. The warmth and friendliness of all the people from OJ to every person that worked on our massive job was beyond compare. Genuinely NICE people. OJ underbid the job so on the afternoon of the delivery of our furniture and other belongings he charged us an additional $750 above the $13,000 he had quoted. Because he underestimated the time required to pack and unpack, everyone was rushed at both ends of the move. While this was challenging at the start in California he really left us hanging at the end in Oregon. Extremely valuable antique furniture was not properly reassembled and parts are still missing. A few things were broken and we just threw them away. (So much for packing insurance!!!) The biggest problem of all -- and it was HUGE -- was that the packers did not label the boxes so that we could find the contents easily nor did they pack all of the relevant parts of things in the same boxes. Arrrrgh. For example, parts of our Bose stereo system were packed in with kitchen items (???). This haphazard putting of disparate contents together was very, very problematic for us. To their credit, the honesty of everyone was impeccable. They packed a lot of very valuable items and nothing was missing -- just broken or packed in weird places Our bottom line: Be very specific about HOW you want the boxes labeled to make things easier when you are unpacking. Ask OJ to ensure that the packers do not pack items from different rooms together so you don't have to try to figure out where missing things are when faced with lots of unpacked, unlabeled boxes. Although I asked that the contents of the boxes were labeled clearly as well as the room they were destined for, I wish I had known that I needed to manage this. I trusted OJ to do it. What an important difference having this would have made. THAT would have earned 5 stars! read more

First of all I'd like to say a belated Thank You to OJ & Daniel for the excellent moving job they did for my elderly mother. Not only are they great movers but they were especially compassionate and aware of what it means for elderly people to move. OJ is exceptionally diligent about communication and willingly works with you regarding dates and timing. He not only provides a service but he brings a positive attitude and an ability to make the move easier for his customers. Daniel is quick and works through the job with care and consistency. They both made a difficult move seems effortless. I will be happy to recommend them to anyone who is moving and I plan on calling Movers of Excellence again when we move. Thank you for helping us and I apologize for not writing a review sooner. You guys are the best ever!!! read more

Fantastic movers! Everything arrived intact, no damage - even our piano. OJ, the owner, is wonderful to work with. The move came in exactly as quoted. The entire crew was wonderful - 4 in Healdsburg and 2 in Groveland. We've had 4 moves in the past few years, and Movers of Excellence was by far the best moving company.G read more

Movers of Excellence is true to their name. OJ and crew came highly recommended by two co-workers who used them before so it was a no brainer. I am now a believer too: This crew rocks!! They worked tirelessly all day, kept communicating from the beginning to the end, were respectful to me and my belongings and did the move fast and efficient. While I hope that I will stay in my house for a long time, I would personally like to vouch for OJ and his crew. Each individual is a person of excellence and professionalism. Don't look any further for a moving company, give them a call today, you won't regret it! read more

We moved in Healdsburg and OJ and his 4-man team were very courteous, helpful and professional. They were on time and took care to protect my floors and be careful with our items. There were a few times I changed my mind about where to place heavy objects, and they had no complaints about moving them more than once, even up and down stairs. And they were patient with my kids running around and playing with the bubble paper! It was a seamless experience. We would definitely use them again. read more

OJ and his team are great! Very professional, friendly, and very hard working! OJ is a family man and business owner that really takes pride in his business and making his customers happy. All of our stuff was labeled just right and everything ended up in the right places. I don't know what Ashley (in an earlier post/review) was talking about. We had a complicated move because we had part of our furniture & boxes going from Sebastopol to a temporary apartment in Folsom and part of our furniture & boxes going temporarily into a storage unit in Santa Rosa. OJ coordinated everything; the packing, his trucks, the organizing, and also the storage unit for us. Everything went very smoothly! Other than answering a few questions that OJ had for us occasionally (to confirm what items went where) we didn't need to lift a finger. Arriving at the apartment, OJ and his crew unloaded and set up all the furniture and they offered to unpack for us. I opted to do it myself because I enjoy doing it myself. When we find a new home to buy they will be moving everything from the apartment and the storage facility to the new home. We will let OJ know and he will coordinate all of that for us as well. Looking forward to working with them again during phase 2 of our move. Oh... and his prices were also better than everyone else! We received three other bids and his was lower and included more! On a side note: There were some personal items that I wanted to pack for myself and I asked OJ if he had some boxes and he drove them all the way out to my house (out in the sticks) just to drop them off for us... Such a nice guy! read more

The guys were all great and very efficient. Asked about placement and took great care of our furniture and piano. OJ was extremely helpful and very personable. I would definitely use them again in the future. read more

Great folks, hard workers!!! Showed up on time, polite, fast, pleasant workers. OJ set the tone of steady but careful packing and moving. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Jim and Melinda read more

If you want an experienced team with an exceptional attitude and work ethic, look no further! OJ and his team moved us from Santa Rosa to Mendocino with the utmost care and consideration. From the initial estimate to the final placement of outdoor furniture and yard ornaments at 11 pm, these professionals were kind, respectful, gentle with our belongings and incredibly helpful. They worked tirelessly and efficiently from morning until late night with the same amazing attitude and energy. Even though they had worked for many hours and still had the 2.5 hr drive back to Santa Rosa ahead, OJ went the extra mile to make calls and find a home for our old sofa so there would be room for our new one. I am certain it took more time than OJ estimated because we had more things than either of us anticipated and he still honored his original estimate. I recommend OJ and the team at Movers of Excellence without reservation. If I ever have to move again (please don't make me) I will happily call OJ. Thank you! read more

We contacted O.J. at Movers of Excellence a couple of months ago to move an upright piano from the Sebastopol Community Center to our home about 7 miles away. It was a simple, painless process. We found this company by doing a search on "piano movers" in Sonoma County and focused on companies with 5 stars in Yelp. Several of the other companies that we called were unable to give us quotes over the phone, and one "didn't do pianos." It was a pleasure to be able to call someone, get an immediate response and quote over the phone, and then schedule delivery on the date of our choice. It was right on time, with no surprises, no damage, no problems. I would highly recommend O.J. and Movers of Excellence for their professionalism and courteous treatment of the customer. They really do live up to their name! read more

We were referred to Movers of Excellence by a friend who raved about the company and it's owner, OJ. So we contracted with them for our move and were not disappointed. They wrapped everything, handled all with great care, and got us moved within the estimated time--and budget. As a matter of fact, when figuring out the time and mileage, he realized that he initially over-estimated and lowered his invoice amount! OJ and Daniel were on time, courteous, easy to work with and very competent. At no time were we worried our items weren't properly cared for. Plus, as I referred to, they were easy on the budget. read more

On short notice, OJ and his companion were able to pick up an electric bed from across town and install it in my second floor bedroom. They were very professional and friendly. I highly recommend them. read more

Wow, I'm so impressed. OJ the owner came and gave an assessment before we moved and it was very reasonable. He communicated and verified our move date a week before so we weren't worried. His guys showed up on time. He came a little later ava worked as hard as his workers. They were very friendly and really took great care to not damage anything. I had packed some things that I thought would move together like a small bookshelf with some books. They said they were afraid it might get damaged and repacked all the books into boxes. There was a genuine care for things. I went back to the old house after and figured that there would be a few things they missed, but nope, they got it all. They unpacked with as much care. I didn't feel rushed, or like they wanted me to hurry up so they could unpack the truck and take off. They put things where I wanted them, and just really did a great job. This was the first time I've used a mover and it was easily worth every penny. Easiest move I've ever done! read more

OJ and his crew are wonderful to work with-professional, friendly, and as their name says, excellent at what they do. We love recommending Movers of Excellence to our clients because they always provide outstanding service, and we know they will go above and beyond to help meet the clients' needs. Highly Recommend! read more

Our company, Ecuador Moves, coordinates the international shipment of household goods, primarily into and out of Ecuador. We have had the pleasure of working with Movers of Excellence, and OJ Johnson on several moves. Recently, OJ helped us to sync a container loading with a moving & storage company and a family moving to Ecuador. They picked up a load of items at a storage unit and then loaded a household of items into the same storage container. They were always available to answer questions as we worked to coordinate this complicated job. We recommend them highly. read more

We hired Movers of Excellence to unload our ABF U-Packs when we moved to Santa Rosa and were so impressed that we hired them again to load our moving truck when we moved again. OJ and his team of movers were friendly, uber-professional and efficient. They knew what they were doing, and they made it look easy. If we live in the area again, we will definitely use Movers of Excellence again. read more

We just moved from Santa Rosa to Clayton this past weekend. OJ and the team made our move so much easier. I've never done a yelp review before but felt I needed to on this one because this group of guys are top notch. They not only are very professional and obviously know what they are doing but they are also very genuine and made my kids excited about the moving process. I would recommend Movers of Excellence to anyone. Thanks again guys for everything!! read more
