    Piano from my moms
    Mayjane F.

    This is my second time using OVA Movers for moving my mom's beloved piano and other furniture. The team needed to move between 3 homes.All this in a little over 3 hrs. Im in awe of their quality. Very professional crew (Sherzod, Rusian, Dosan, and Christopher). Very careful and clean. Definately worth the money. will reach out again for our next move. moms piano will need to be moved one last time. Thank you Valentyn for coordinating.

    They didn't have proper coverings for the floors - I could clean this but my living room rug was a mess of mud

    First,I'll say that it's been more than 2 weeks since I notified the company that they short paid us on insurance and asked for an adjustment. The fact they haven't responded took them to a one star. Now to the issue. When the team picked up our household furniture, we had a special concrete garden bench marked with green tape (treat household item). It was a special piece to us, weighed ~400 lbs (total - 50# for the seat, 150# for the front, and 200# for the rear) - Arriving at our new house, they brought 2 pieces of the bench in, but the 3rd, the rear, largest and heaviest, was not secured to the dolly and was not covered or wrapped, and fell off the ramp breaking into pieces. The team head talked to me, and though the piece cannot be recovered, we agreed together that the weight of the broken piece was 200 pounds, and insurance would pay $120. THEN, COME TIME TO PAY THE BILL - and the boss OVER THE PHONE , decided it was only 100 pounds and was worth $60. That is all the team leader was authorized to allow. I wrote the office a few days later, explained, with photos, and asked for $60. No word. Like most things, when faith is broken with a company, everything became more important. As a secondary issue, their pre-move promise was that floors would be covered properly but instead, on a rainy, muddy day which necessitated them coming through a large street puddle, they didn't have blankets or plastic to cover floors and tracked mud and water onto my floors and rug (the bedroom carpet WAS covered, part by me, part by them). Two weeks later we discovered a broken frame on a large piece of art, and missing screws from our bed's headboard. Altogether, we were prepared for some of the smaller things,but the lack of regard for our garden art - and the refusal to acknowledge that they didn't support their on-site team and pay the agreed-upon $120 - leads me to this one star review. I wish I could have focused on their polite crew (which they were) and their agreeable manner (which it was) and the willingness they had to help me put protective pad on the incoming furniture. Instead, I focus on their unhappy business decisions.

    Adilet and his crew did an amazing job. This is my second move with them and they did great work.

    damage to flooring of apartment

    Ova movers was recommended to me by a friend. Unfortunately, I will never hire them for their services again. I hired two movers and when I led one of the movers to my apartment, he complained about how the walk to it was far. I'm not sure how a customer is supposed to respond to that comment. Luckily, I was able to shorten the distance via the use of the garage of the location I live. The younger mover wrapped a lot of the items I had and it took him a while. It seemed like most of the moving was done by the other gentleman who was much older. Once everything was moved, the younger guy said it took so long and I responded with yeah, it did. It took them 3 hours to load a 1 bedroom apartment into the truck. Then, he said to me "why didn't you tell us you were moving into a storage unit?" and I was surprised they didn't know. I sent them the address and perhaps it was naive of me to assume they would check to see where I was moving my belongings to. Once we got to the storage unit, it took them an hour to unload and then I paid with a credit card. The young man spoke with his boss on the phone and then told me "my boss asked why did the job take so long?". Once again, as the customer, what are you supposed to respond with? I was surprised it took them so long too. I have no idea what their schedule or day looks like but I was extremely annoyed with the complaints the younger guy said. I also offered to buy them lunch and they said no, they had work to do. Then, I received a text asking for a tip for lunch and I sent one. I tipped them for what I was initially quoted for as I didn't plan for it to be more than that. On Yelp it says they don't charge for the truck or toll but they do and I have it listed on the quote I received. Regardless of my not to great experience dealing with the younger mans lack of professionalism, they still did a good job. Edit: I forgot to mention, they damaged the flooring of the apartment. It's coming out of my security deposit.

    Runner to protect my carpet
    MonicA S.

    Requested a quote and response time was super quick. My brother used them before and they were fast and responsive. However, stars get docked when a $59 fuel charge was added on top of my quote. I moved less than one mile away. I think it's egregious to add that. If my quote was only $357, why am I paying more?!

    Jad A.

    We went through Yelp to pick our movers inside SF (0.5 miles move), and based on the majority of reviews and discussions with Valentyn, who is very communicative, we picked Ova. Our experience was anything but great. From the beginning the team that showed up came with some attitude and argued about paying for TV protection, which was included, and then did not cover our floors claiming that they already have scratches. After 2 massive scratches they finally agreed to cover the floors. I just didn't realize we needed to beg for the basic agreement to protect wood floors. The original quote, which included a list of all our items and sizes, was for around 4-5 hours and we ended up at 7.5 hours, which included a lunch break on the middle. I think the business has to give more specific and better estimates, or start visiting the homes in person if they keep missing the estimate (other reviews that seem to be buried in Yelp have the same complaint) To top it off, they just seemed frustrated at drop off when some heavy boxes needed to go upstairs instead of the garage downstairs. So we ended up with our stuff in the wrong location. Finally when we unpacked they had destroyed the side of our mattress. I had wood chips and holes in it. Then the business owner claimed that their insurance covers items for few cents by weight and in a way did not want to file a claim for my mattress (or floors) as I "will only get $40-50 back." So their insurance is quite honestly a scam. Upon payment, which was again much higher than the quote, although we had a horrible experience we understand it was a long day and I gave the team a certain amount of tip and their main guy demanded that I give them more - when I opposed him he asked me to call the owner Valentyn, who insisted that that is not part of their business. Then I got sent the Venmo link from the mover so I can send more tips at a later time. They offered wardrobe boxes that were all broken, they had to tape them to hold few items. Just throw these. And to add a cherry on top, they packed all the wrapping paper and trash on the truck. Once we went inside, they proceeded to fill our trash bins and the Neighbors trash with all these items!! So we had an issue with our neighbor 2 hours after moving to our new spot... Again, the only thing that worked is that they showed up on time and Valentyn was very responsive leading up to the move and during/after. I cannot recommend this business at all

    My wife already left a review but they deserve as many accolades as possible…read more We hired OBM because they quoted us the lowest price, but they were also the best and I highly doubt other movers would've gone above & beyond the way they did. We had a challenging move from downtown S.F. to Berkeley, to a house that is in the middle of multiple construction projects. Yet they made everything feel easy. I had gotten food poisoning the day before and we were stressing because we hadn't yet finished packing. But it was no problem--they loaded the truck with the items that were ready to go while we packed the rest. Make sure to ask for Joseph and his team (Fernando and Victor). They arrived a little early so they'd be ready and were the utmost professional while also being a warm and friendly team of guys. We would have them over dinner any time. Because of Joseph I'm now convinced that moving is both an art and an athletic feat. We had a recliner (100lbs) and a treadmill (200lbs) that were too wide to go through a doorway--and yet he maneuvered them effortlessly through without a scratch on either.

    I'm going to leave an unorthodox review for Jay's Small Moves. I had an extremely last second move…read morerequest which the company could understandably not accommodate, so I did not use the service. However, I wanted to acknowledge the old school professionalism displayed after I was told my move request couldn't be done on such short notice due to their schedule being full for the day. They provided me with the names and phone numbers of two of their competitors who they recommended as excellent alternatives. I couldn't help but share this story which reflects positively upon this business, and I will definitely use them for future moves.

    I went with Jay's Small Movers because everyone gave them such good reviews. Quite frankly, I would…read moregive them a 1 star review if it weren't for 2 of the guys that really busted it out going up and down stairs. The guy in charge pretty much sat in the truck most of the time once we got to the new place. No wonder it took 6 and a half hours for everything, and that included me helping. I've moved across the pond and that move was only a little bit more than what I paid to move 15 minutes away from where I was living. I as shocked when the total came to almost $1800 to move a 2 bedroom, one bath apartment, that had no storage and no garage. Pretty minimal, 1000 sq. ft. apartment. I wasn't told that I was going to have to pay for every single item used; boxes to move the stuff around, (almost everything was already boxed up) tape (I had already covered and taped things up) tarps to cover furniture, their lunch break, etc. With all the tape and tarps, they still managed to snap one of my lamps in half, and I'm still searching for some bowls and the remote for the lights on my headboard. Oh, and at the end a surprise $175 fee for the truck on top of the hourly rate. And, let's not forget the tip, which I was pestered about for days because Venmo and Zelle wouldn't work - both were declined to the guy in charge. All in all, I wish I had researched other movers. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

The first time, I had to move from Union City to a storage facility in Elk Grove and this past weekend we had two teams going, one from San Jose to Elk Grove and the other from the storage facility to our new home. Pure Moving was perfect in all ways possible. They were professional, prompt, efficient, and super friendly. They handled and wrapped items with care and made you feel at ease that everything was going to be safe and secure. They disassembled furniture as needed and reassembled it on site. One great detail, they laid down plastic protectors everywhere to keep things clean and tidy where they would be stepping. And cleaned up all the plastic wrap/coverings, cardboard and tape they used while packing and unpacking. They literally took care of all the heavy - and even the light - lifting! I just want to say thank you to Paul, Nick, Toha, Dan and Symon for taking care of our move and my Family. Moving is already stressful but they made it Pure-ly AWESOME!
