As a veteran to the life of moving... more moves than I would like to admit, both domestically within the US and internationally... it's no small task to pack up a whole house full of memories, sentimental belongings, pictures, childhood hope chests and a lifetime of investing your hard work into making a house a home, then to watch it be handled by someone else. There's a level of nervousness and anxiety that comes with that. With each move, those nerves and anxiousness don't subside, in fact they increase. Getting to your next destination to find irreplaceable items broken or shattered, thinking to yourself.... I should have packed it. You know that no one will take care of YOUR things like YOU would.... Wrong! I stand corrected! Let me tell you, Murdock's Moving does!!! In the last thirteen moves over the last ten years, Murdock's has been by far, hands-down, the BEST. From start to finish the whole crew made me feel not just like another customer, but like they were handling my "life in a box" with care, diligence, and pride... like I would care for my stuff. Jeremy helped me to schedule and reschedule my move dates to best fit me and my crazy life and unpredictable California weather. He not only called to check up on me and my personal situation but stayed connected during a gap in time when I initially wanted to move and my actual move date. He was always sincere, understanding and accommodating. On the big moving day, Cody, John, and Armando were assigned as my crew. They were all so Wonderful. They all communicated not only with what my needs were during the move but were personable, took time to ask questions, acknowledged my needs and communicated those to each other. They worked very well together as a team and are work horses... they never stopped to take a break! Very impressive! All three were very down to earth, amiable, hard-working, and more than accommodating. They took time and care of my belongings, treating each thing with grace and protecting it from damage. They assessed and reassessed packaging to make sure everything was secure and protected. The level of effort that was present was undeniably superior professionalism and pride. They took exceptional care of my "life in a box." I am beyond grateful to Nick for assigning this crew to my move. Can't leave out a shout out to Nick. Thank you for creating a working environment for your employees to take pride in their profession, for having remarkable crew members, and for taking care of me and my things. If I could, I would write a thousand more words on how beyond satisfied I am with the experience I had throughout it all, before my move, during my move and even after. I have nothing but great things to say about each and every person who had a part in making those nerves and anxieties a thing of the past. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Home Sweet Home. read more

1,000% the BEST decision we made during our move was hiring Murdocks Moving & Storage. Doug and the crew were extremely friendly, professional and actually made the move fun. Originally we planned to do the move ourselves. We thought it would be no big deal..... It would've been an absolute disaster. We thought it would take us 1 to 2 days. It would've taken a week. Murdocks Moving crew came in at 8 am sharp, wrapped everything that could get dirty or broken in bubble and plastic wrap and didn't break a single item. They got us moved out of our house in Chico, and moved into our new house in Roseville, in less than a day. It was so easy. They made the entire day actually a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Had we done it ourselves, it would've been an extremely frustrating and miserable day.....or several miserable days. It would've taken us at least two or three days just to load two large U-Haul's, and another couple of days to unload into our new house, which had a steep driveway and a very rocky and bumpy entryway to the front door. They had all of the tools and knowledge to make it no problem at all. I'm not sure we would've been able to get some of our items into the house without dropping them or breaking them with Murdocks. My only warning to you is, If you're considering moving without hiring Murdocks.....DO NOT DO IT! read more

We were moving from our home in Chico to our new house in between Oroville and Bangor. Our new home is very difficult to get to. The house is in a canyon between two large hills. The dirt road to get here is really tough with very tight switchbacks. The road on the property is the same, but going up to the main house, it's really steep. Most vehicles spin out before they can reach the main house. I'm writing all of this to let you know what Juan, Pat, and Sean (our movers) went through to get here. We had 7 large and heavy items that needed moving and even though they came upon larger issues about getting everything to fit through the door, they made sure that it got done. For example, our refrigerator depth was the wider than the doorway. They removed the doors carefully, made sure to disconnect the wires in the doors properly and were able to put everything back together correctly. To give another example. Pat and Sean lifted our piano by hand into the house! This was the third company that I called to make sure that they could even make it to our house. I cannot even describe to you the "above and beyond" of what they did. I could go on and on, but I think I've made it very clear of how good this company is. Oh! One more thing. The whole time their attitudes were upbeat! Thank you guys for making our move complete read more

From the first contact to the last, Murdock's was exceptional. I initially reached out to several moving companies and Murdock's immediately stood out. They were so professional, friendly and responsive. Within minutes of my first phone call, they emailed me an itemized, clear and easy to understand quote, which is something none of the other companies provided. Murdock's clearly prioritizes delivering outstanding customer service. Everyone I interacted with had a great attitude and was so helpful. The movers, Ryan and Cody, were awesome. They were on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and were extremely accommodating, polite, friendly and genuinely cheerful. In addition to providing exceptional service, Murdock's rates were very competitive. They actually did our move for less than their quote. With Murdock's attention to detail and consistent communication, you know exactly what to expect and aren't left wondering about anything. Across the board, the people at Murdock's are so knowledgeable, organized, well prepared and easy to work with, you just know you're in good hands and everything will go smoothly. And it did! I very highly recommend them. read more

Perfect service-absolutely perfect. I live in Texas and I was attempting to purchase two rather rare crane transmissions from a gentleman (in California) that would not sell them if he had to deal with/be inconvenienced with a freight company. I saw the incredible reviews on Murdock's Affordable Hauling and wondered "can anyone be THAT good?" Well, this young man IS THAT GOOD! No, actually he is perfect. Neacail handled the Seller perfectly-coordinating this transaction closely with him and making this deal especially easy for him and me. As with any remotely coordinated freight shipment, there was a lot of planning and of course a glitch or two. Neacail sailed through the planning process seamlessly, being very proactive and working around the "glitches" (none of which were caused by him). This young man does a great job! He is very intelligent, hard-working, honest and fair with his pricing. A true pleasure to do business with. Simply fantastic customer service! I always felt confident that he would deliver (literally) and he did. read more

This company blew my expectations out of the water. They had THE BEST rates in Chico, he was communicative and straightforward. I had scheduled a date and time and something happened where I needed help earlier, he was able to accommodate thankfully. The guys that arrived were polite and gentlemanly, they moved quickly and respected my belongings. They finished half an hour early!! I am so thankful for this experience, they truly helped my situation and made my life so much easier with their assistance. The owner called me promptly back when I had left a message, even after what I assumed were his working hours, he devotes his all to this business and helping his customers. He arranged for his guys to help me and my emergency situation on what was their day off and they did it before my time from scheduled was. I really couldn't have asked for more and when I need to move again in the future I will call them. They were friendly, fast, polite, efficient, what a joy these guys were. Thank you guys!!! read more

I had to move my furniture out of the house for a week for renovations and these guys were fantastic! My move back into my home changed several times because the contractor needed more time. Everyone at Murdock's went above and beyond to get me moved back in by the end of the weekend despite their very busy schedule. There were two different pairs of movers. One pair moved me out into my garage and the other pair moved me back in. They all did an amazing job. They were careful not to scrape my walls or damage my furniture and the guys that moved me back in even helped me get to the bottom of my furniture to apply protectice felt so that my floors would not be damaged when I move my furniture around. It was worth every penny to have them help me out and no one ever made me feel rushed or guilted me for changing my move date multiple times. These folks were an absolute pleasure to work with and I will call them the next time I need to be moved. read more

If I could give 100 stars, I would! Silly me, I thought I could pack up my entire house (with 3 babies in tow), rent myself a truck, load the truck, and get it down to Rocklin all in one day. Dead wrong. The crew at Murdocks worked tirelessly from 8:30AM until 8:30PM picking up my family of 5's life and home in Chico and moving us to our new home in Rocklin. Not only did they handle everything with such amazing care while loading, the attention to detail while unloading is what really set it over the top for me. They resembled all my furniture, laid rugs down for me, placed the couch exactly where I wanted it and truly worked hard to make our new house feel like home. After watching how hard these guys worked, there is no way we are not hiring them the next time we move. It is truly worth every bit of the expense. Thank you Murdocks! If it weren't for you, my husband would have just had me throw all our stuff away and start over read more

Great experience with this company! Our office had some old bulky furniture that needed to be carted off, and after a bit of looking, we came across this company online. Called the number and left a voicemail, and received an extremely prompt return call from the owner. We gave him a list of what we needed moved, and he quoted us a great price. We set up an appointment for them to come the next week, and they even called the day of to see if they could come sooner since their previous appointment had finished early! Both of the employees (Jesse and his partner, not sure of the name) who came were extremely friendly, professional, and respectful. They were finished in under a half an hour, and did an excellent job all around. We will definitely be using them for any moving/hauling jobs in the future, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a top-grade moving service! read more

I had the pleasure of engaging Neacail's services a few weeks ago--he helped me load a U-Haul truck for my move to San Diego. His absolutely stellar ratings on Yelp! are well deserved. He responded to my inquiry promptly, and we scheduled a date/time for his assistance. He arrived precisely at the agreed upon time and, working together, we efficiently accomplished the task in far less time than I had originally estimated. The price was more than fair, and he was professional in every way. There is no question that I would call on him again should I ever need loading, hauling, or moving services in the future. Murdock's Affordable Hauling should be your first choice when you are seeking hauling services. I applaud Neacail's entrepreneurial spirit, business acumen, and focus on customer service. As other reviewers have noted, you will not be disappointed in any way! read more

I had to move my daughter and her toddler out of thier home & away from an abusive other. Murdock's was there for us, on a last minute call for help to move her heaviest items for us to a safe space. All I can say is, Thomas & Adam, WOW!! Professional, Courteous, treated her antiques with the utmost care in moving them. Both men worked in unison & wasted no time in getting the job done. Am totally impressed to say the least with this company. C. J. is amazing & was able to fit us into a tight schedule & she is also Professional, Kind & Compassionate towards other people. Murdoch's will be my goto movers from now on! I Love You Guys! A Forever Grateful Mom! Linda L. P.S. Also, the value of the original quote was more than I paid. They even saved me money that I can now use towards helping my daughter & grandchild with a fresh start going forward. read more

These guys are awesome! My mom has used them a few times and recommended them to me and I am so glad she did. We recently moved out of our house in Gridley and into a new home in Oroville. We had a team of 3 movers and these guys work so hard! They never stop moving! They moved quickly, really took the time to wrap up our more fragile belongings and they were very careful in the moving process. They are also very polite, respectful, and willing to help with anything. They were able to compete our move in one day as promised which was amazing! I also had to reschedule our move 3 times due to some issues in the escrow process and they were very accommodating and understanding. I have used other moving companies in the past and they don't even compare to Murdock's! If you are looking to move these are your guys! read more

I called the right guy! We needed to have a refrigerator removed from our home and needed it done pretty quickly. I left messages with four different hauling/moving companies in the morning and heard back from Murdock's within 45 minutes. I explained on the phone what needed to be done just two days from now and was given a very reasonable quote to have it removed and hauled off. One of the other companies contacted me the next day and I never did hear from the other two. He arrived on time with the truck and trailer, helped me remove the front door hinges and the doors from the fridge so it would fit through the doorway. He was very polite, worked hard, and well worth the expense. Bottom line? I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to my family and friends. read more

Necail and his incredible group of workers were simply awesome! I normally do not write reviews but this crew and company were worth every penny. They were on time, friendly, attentive, careful, thorough and always attentive to every request I made. I had a very unique and challenging situation of moving up to Oregon in what is seemingly the coldest, snowiest winter up there in a long time. Murdock company loaded my belongings on the set date, then held onto them in their truck for 6 days before moving it all safely and to my destination in Oregon....no small feat! I find NOT one negative to share. Murdock Moving you rock and I would highly recommend them to everyone! Oh, their rates were so much better than any of the "big players". Awesome guys, thank you and keep movin' on! read more

I absolutely recommend Murdock's Moving & Hauling services. Nick Murdock is incredibly likable and easy to work with. His crew is awesome! My husband and I just bought our first house and Murdock's helped us to move our entire house in just 6 hours! That's a 2 bedroom house. They handled our furniture, mirrors, photographs and fragile with precision and care. They took 2 hours less than they quoted which saved us time and money. I recommend Murdock's to all of my friends and family because our experience was professional, efficient and considerate of our belongings. Use Murdock's you won't regret it! PS: My husband is a realtor so he has seen a lot of moves and he said that this company was far superior to what he has seen in the past for moving companies. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I cannot express how thankful I am. He came out the day before Easter to haul away junk that was on our patio and in the garage. He apologized for being late even though to was only 4 or 5 minutes after the scheduled time (I considered him on time), and got to work immediately. He was quick with clearing out the junk on the patio and in the garage. It filled up his hauler, and took him less than an hour. It would have easily taken me 5x longer to do it on my own. At the end, he asked us there was anything else that needed to be tossed, and did a walk through to make sure I was the one saying there was nothing else left to throw away. He was very professional and kind, and the price really was adorable. I know who I'll call if I ever need anything hauled. read more

I thought I had my move planned well. I was wrong. I could get the fridge and some heavier items into the uhaul, but was so exhausted I couldn't get them out safely. I called at 11am when I finally gave up and they worked hard to squeeze me in, giving me a window from 12-3pm. No kidding, probably 45 minutes later Cody M and Jack V showed up and within 20 minutes had everything done. They worked quickly, were very respectful, charismatic, and made me feel like it was no big deal. Those men are strong! Hefted 2 desks up to the second floor like it was nothing (I honestly thought I was going to have to get rid of them because I couldn't get them up). They were amazing. I really cannot highly recommend this company more. I'd give 10 stars if I could. read more

We were tremendously pleased with the results of our move with Murdock's Moving and Storage. Robert, John and Shawn were friendly, on time, and very professional. They have great attitudes and work ethics, and very importantly, so careful with our furniture and boxes. They worked tirelessly from start to finish. We were pleased from the very beginning, when David came to the house and gave us a reasonable quote and was extremely accommodating when, due to construction delays, we had to change the move date several times. Every time we called, the staff was very polite and friendly. We would use Murdock's again and recommend them highly. For your next move use Murdock's and request Robert, John. and Shawn. You will not be disappointed! Sandra W. read more

Murdock's Moving were referred to us by multiple local real estate agents and friends. As a home staging company we had been looking for a reputable and reliable moving crew and found just that with Murdock's. Neacail, Jeremy, Steven and the entire crew are trustworthy, thorough and experienced with an extremely positive attitude. We have relied on their help for countless moves ranging from small 2-brdm. homes to million dollar listings and each time are met with consistency and professionalism. Not only are they hard-working and friendly, they're also careful with our inventory items and prompt (key when staging multiple properties in one day). We highly recommend Murdock's and will continue to use them for all future moves! read more
