Santos and his team were fast, efficient, careful, and highly professional while moving my heavy gym equipment, massage chair, and hot tub. They handled everything with great care and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable movers. read more

I can't say enough good words about Pete's Moving Services. They called the day before to confirm then called the morning of the job and said they were heading my way. They showed up 15 minutes early. I needed everything out of a home I put on the market.Three really nice guys. They were fast and did a great job. I am moving to the Philippines in December and Pete told me they are knowledgable with international moves and will absolutely have them help me again. read more

I moved from north Stockton to south Lodi, about 7 miles. Pete's asked for photos of my house (2 bedroom and shop) showing the things to be moved. I sent them the pictures. The original estimate I got was $895.00. When I received the final bill, it was $2219. The moving crew did OK, nothing broken during the move, but be very dubious of any quote you get from Pete's. read more

Great service! On time and professional would recommend to anyone looking for help with a move!

I called and needed a safe moved ASAP they came out within a day. Showed up on time. Gave a head up call 15 min prior to arrival. Nice friendly staff read more

Amazing service and so happy to have them help me out with this move. They were fantastic. I would certainly use them again and I highly recommend them. read more

I called them to rent a pod, not moving but getting kitchen remodeled. They don't provide that service but gave me a number to call, so that was super nice. read more

My wife and I booked Pete's for our move into our first home together! We moved out of a third floor apartment and had SO much stuff. We were worried it would take a long time and cost us a ton, but were surprised at how quick and efficient the movers were and reasonable the cost was! Communication for scheduling was clear and easy, and the movers arrived promptly ready to go! They were friendly and definitely skilled at what they do - taking multiple boxes at a time and wrapping all our more fragile items with care. Would definitely recommend them. read more

Using several moving companies in the past to move my items across the country, I went to Pete's services looking for a simple local move. The customer service was prompt, friendly, and responsive, however there were caveats with the value of work. Here are some highlights: -Bedroom wall was damaged, will need to be filled and patched -Automotive parts were damaged, it was an accident -Assisted the crew members with some furniture disassembly (nice guys, but seemed a bit inexperienced) -Scratches on my tempered glass table as they left the screws in my TV (from mounting) and placed the TV on that table -Some items I wanted brought to my new place were left behind, I wasn't even questioned if I wanted it or not. Here's some feedback, hopefully to help relieve heartburn for future customers: -Allow a mover/staff member to assess the home they are unloading from or to. Do it in person or via zoom, for a more accurate quote. If this was proposed I would have happily complied -Allow the customer to hold the key to the truck if the items being moved aren't itemized, especially if the staff needs to make a stop before the destination (a nice to have) -Respond to negative reviews as well as positive reviews -Just charge the flat $240/hr for local moves instead of the inflated $1000/3 hrs + $240/hr afterwards. Chances are these movers aren't making more than $30/hr or are getting benefits so it wouldn't hurt your bottom line that much read more

From the office staff to the movers..... everyone was great! We live out of town and did everything by phone and they were very communicative about the process and it was worth every penny. Thank you! read more

Pete, Santos and Jaylen are the best! Everything went smoothly from scheduling to securing to moving. And, they are great people! Thank you all for your hard work! Fantastic job! I'd use Pete's Moving Services again. read more

I needed a mover with two days notice for a few family antiques. Petes saved me. I was so impressed with the level and quality of communications. Everything went so smoothly - except my driveway-long, steep, and inhospitable to a 28 ft truck. Santos and his partner used a hand truck to move the heavy pieces in 90' plus heat Up that driveway, joking and smiling, btw. So great to work with true professionals. read more

Pete's was recommended by our realtor. we were moving a few pieces of furniture across town. Pete's communication was well organized by text , keeping me in the loop thru-out the hours of service. The movers, Will & Allen were prompt, careful with my belongings, and professional. from beginning to end, it was seamless. 5 star service. read more

These guys are on top of it! Every interaction from requesting a quote, confirming a time, to the actual move was a prompt and efficient experience! For our move, Johnny & Fred were awesome! I moved from Stockton to Martinez and they were so fast and efficient that we did the whole thing under 3 hours!! (It wasn't a lot of stuff.) They were also very attentive and careful by wrapping everything and making sure it didn't get scratched. Will DEFINITELY be using them again! read more

Amazing job and best moving experience! From someone who has moved 5 times over the last 8 years they exceeded all expectations. Arrived punctually, loaded and unloaded efficiently and were particularly caring of fragile items. They brought furniture covers and took great care to load/unload everything properly and got the job done within the expected timeframe. We did not have a single broken item and all plants made it safe, including my very large and heavy Bird of Paradise in a ceramic pot. Highly recommend for any moving needs! read more

I had used Pete's moving service when I moved to Idaho from California. The truck broke down in front of my California home, and I know this because my neighbor across the street sent me pictures. So that was unpleasant and caused me undo stress. Then four years later, I contacted Pete's moving service and received another $6000 price quote to move a small amount of furniture back to California. Again, I was quoted $6000. On my first move I had a two bedroom house to move on my second move, I had a one bedroom Apartment size to move back. No heavy items such as refrigerator, washer, dryer, office and extra bedroom, furnishings, So to be quoted the same price was ridiculous. I let Alysha know my feelings, she contacted Pete and his comment was the economy. Needless to say I have gone with another company, and I continue getting calls from Alysha of Pete's moving company saying that the company I chose is a scam. I do not appreciate being treated as if I am not an intelligent human being, capable of researching companies for myself. It's intrusive and very bad business practices.. read more

10/10 The best crews! Super reliable and professional. I own a professional organizing company and we use Pete's for all of our clients needs. Anything from moving furniture, to big move projects. They also have the best quality moving materials. So thankful for these guys! If you need a moving company to can count on, these are your guys! read more

Pete's is the best moving company in the valley! I recently contracted Pete's for the second time, and was just as happy with their service as I was the first time. Isaiah and Santos were professional, thorough, well-organized and truly a joy to spend the day with. read more

Do not do business with this company. They are one of the more expensive moving companies in town and they damaged my things refusing to pay. read more

***Update*** Pete calls me within minutes of writing my review. Accuses me of lying on my review - said the time window he gave us was between 8:00 - 9:00 AM so they were only 2 hours late - not 3. Okay fine - 2 hours late is still late. Then he tells me the things damaged, my tool box, picture frames, damaged boxes are not very nice and that I could get them at a yard sale for cheap. LOL what does that have to do with ANYTHING?? Then tells me that because of my review, it is MY fault that he now has to fire his employees. This is the type of Business Owner associated with this company - refuses to acknowledge any type of responsibility. I could tell within 1 minute of this call, he was not calling to make things right so I let him know our conversation was over and hung up. Pete then responds to my Yelp review with his message below. Not one time during our conversation or during my review did I ask for money. The purpose of this review is to communicate my experience with using this company, their quality of care, and customer service. Original Review: 1.5 Stars AT BEST. Quick Summary - leaving out a ton of ridiculous and unprofessional choices and decisions made by this company because there is not enough room in the text box. Movers show up 3 hours late on moving day after having confirmed 2+ weeks in advance. (Turns out company tried to squeeze in another job before our 9+ hour scheduled day) Movers show up in a terrible mood because company told them it was going to be a quick job - (we are moving 3 hours away.... How would this possibly be communicated as a quick job?) Movers are now pissed and treating my wife and I like it is OUR fault the company they work for chose to lie to them and not communicate the job at hand. Movers treat our belongings without much care, damaging several items and disregarding the word "FRAGILE" written on any boxes. Customer Service Fail by Owner Himself - End of the day, Pete (the owner) calls to collect payment. I let him know about the damaged things and the 3-4 hour delay, and asked him what he can do for me to make things right before I write my review on the service that was provided. He decided that taking 5% off the rate was sufficient. ($100 off on a $2000 job). 10 Days later and have not had a follow up from Pete or any representative from his company for the damages. Still tip the movers $100 each. Santos was actually a good guy. Stayed in good spirits for the most part and worked hard the entire day. The Star is only for him and his attitude and efforts. Bottom Line: I would not give this company any stars for their customer service or professionalism. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking to move anything on time, or to move any items they care about. read more

This was my second time using Pete's. The first time was my own move a few years ago and this time was for my moms move. Julian and Steven where excellent. Very professional, timely and efficient. We couldn't have done this huge move without them! Thank you! read more

We are still missing all the hardware to put the beds together. I have no idea where David put them. We have other peoples stuff and we are missing stuff. We are not happy with this whole experience. This is the worst movers experience ever. This is super unfortunate and I will be taking down my awesome review I did for you. We have so much stuff messed up. We DO NOT UNDERSTAND the SPEEDPAK boxes. I have never seen such disrespect of a customers items. Having a gigantic box to throw our stuff in that YOUR COMPANY should have packed individually. I can already estimate that you have cost us about 2-3 thousand dollars in damage. That isn't including the sentimental items we do not have because you given them to someone else. We are extremely unhappy. We will not recommend your company to anyone. 9/6/21 Ledford's read more

I've used Pete's 6 times now and the last move was 7/30/2024. I've never had anything but positive things that I've experienced with Pete's. I had cy and Isaac for my recent move of several extremely heavy solid oak furniture that I had stored at Pete's storage and needed moved into my curved upstairs bedroom. it's a ridiculous curved stairway with a chairlift rail attached also. these two young men worked together like pros and managed the move flawlessly. I will always recommend Pete's, he's never let me down! Thanks Pete, Isaac and Cy! read more

Friendly, on time, efficient and gets the job done! Will call Pete's again when we need help moving heavy item or anything that we need help with, they were wonderful! read more

Didn't really want this giant painting we have had for 15 years anyway. It's made it through 7 other moves perfectly but oh well. Didn't particularly care about the wardrobe box full of my most expensive clothes that was smashed to smithereens either. We were told we would be loaded up and travel one day and then unloaded the next day. But that didn't happen, so by 9pm at night, of course we and the crew were exhausted. My husband suggested they just unload the rest of the boxes in the garage. They stacked them 5 or 6 boxes high making it so I couldn't possibly get to the top box or see how they were labeled. Gave not a care to anything marked fragile. Some platters were broken. They placed our outdoor furniture in the backyard on top of some rocks when we actually wanted the outdoor furniture in the front of the house in the enclosed courtyard. No one followed up after to ask if all went ok. But they had no trouble asking for a review. Here's your review. The only good things I have to say is that they arrived on time and got the truck over in a snowstorm. Do yourself a favor and just pay the extra money for another company. Response to owner's response: Thank you for reiterating in a very long paragraph the weather situation. That had nothing to do with smashing boxes and unloading boxes the way they did. Thank you for restating that yes my husband told them to unload the rest of the boxes in the garage. That has nothing to do with them not using the entire 3 car garage to perhaps create groups of boxes based on the room labels of the boxes. Or not stacking them FIVE or SIX boxes high on top of boxes labeled fragile. Perhaps they should have said "looks like we will in fact need to stay the night and come back in the morning to unload so are you ok with paying $350 more?" Yes, we would have been ok with that. read more

These guys are amazing. I moved on the first seriously hot day of the year and they handled it like champs from beginning to end. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

They were pretty good in all. The driver Santos shows up and asks right away how I will be paying. Because they charge a card fee and I couldn't add a tip on a card. After finishing they calculate the costs on speaker phone where everything can hear. She says $1479. So I pay them cash, then she calls back and hour later and hits me up for another $180 and makes me pay it over the phone. Later we find a dent in the bullnose from them bringing in the washing machine. Overall it was good, the crew worked hard. But after feeding them and taking care of them asking for more money felt sleazy. read more

From the moment we called them til they pulled away from the move, this company was the best to deal with. Their quote was spot on. The customer service was there. The movers, Julian and Allan were considerate, knew their business of wrapping and moving furniture. They were fast never lacking in energy. They were fast in getting from loading address to delivery address. All furniture and boxes were delivered. Appreciated their positive attitude toward their work. The quote we received was fair for the work needing to be done. Their hourly rate was fair as well. This company was able to get the move completed on very short notice. Would recommend and use again. read more

We had a wonderful experience moving as this is such a stressful time but Johnny, Fred and Alex B made it very easy! What a wonderful crew and moving company. We highly recommend them and will use them again in the future. Thank you guys for all you did! And thank you Meg, you're amazing and made this so simple to set up and get us in the right direction!!

This moving company has so much potential but unfortunately I had a bad experience with them before they even showed up to move. I'm glad that I cancelled this company before it turned into a disaster. I was referred to Pete's by another moving company that couldn't fit me in. I spoke to Ashley who was extremely helpful and informative and had great customer service. She confirmed that I did not have any specialty items (extremely heavy) items and that I had 3 storage units that needed to be moved into our new home. (One was practically empty, then I had a 8x20 and 10x15 unit) I was very specific with her with what furniture we had. She told me that they would be using a 26ft moving truck and they could do the job within a 3-4 hour time span. It would cost $1200 and it was $300 per hour after the first 3 hours. I was called today by another woman that told me the 26ft moving truck was going to be too small and they needed to make multiple trips. I was not happy with this information because naturally that would add time on to the 3-4 hours I was going to use them for. This woman had Pete call me and he was not helpful, condescending and kept interrupting everything I said. He said that this was a 6-8 hour job. An all day job. I explained to him that this information was completely opposite of what Ashley told me and he did not care. I asked him if I could just use him for 3 hours to see what we could get done and he said no, that it would take his guys at least 3 hours to load my stuff. He didn't try to problem solve, or discuss any other options. Just out of curiosity I googled the cost of a 26 foot u-haul. It says it's a good size for a 3-4 bedroom home. Everything in the storage units was from a very small 4 bedroom home. Pete didn't even ask for pics of the storage units before he told me the job was all day. It was extremely apparent that since this company charges by the hour, they are just milking time for more money. I cancelled the job and will just have to figure it out myself. read more

I cannot say enough about the quality of service I received from this company! On our move date it was raining heavily. We live in the mountains and have the driveway from Hell. The movers could not get the truck up our driveway. We talked about rescheduling for the next day but Santos, Shannon and Johnny persevered and got the job done. These 3 were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, courteous and continually reassured us that despite being soaked to the bone that they would get the job done. And they did! The price for the move was reasonable and well worth it. I highly recommend this company. Especially when they send Santos, Shannon and Johnny! Thanks guys and thank you Meg for helping me set everything up! read more

Julian, Anthony and Jesse arrived at my house prompt and early. They were respectful from the get go and also called me 30 minutes before arrival. Initially I was skeptical as I've moved various times and each time had a lot of items damaged. They first went and walked through the house to gauge the job volume and items wanted. They meticulously wrapped all our furniture And took their time to ensure they didn't damage the house. Onto our new home, I asked to be extra careful with the walls and corners as it's a new build, they were respectful and took off their shoes in the house and re assembled all the furniture items and moved them to the appropriate rooms. They cleaned up after themselves and also ensured every last item was taken in. What's nice is they were personable, didn't take a break every ten minutes and wee simply getting the job done not wasting any time. They were professional and very efficient; will use them again and recommend to those who need the job done. read more

They were incredibly quick (hardworkers!)and very personable and kind. I will recommend them and Pete's to everyone. Thanks, Steven and Anthony. We appreciate you so much!!! read more

Scheduled a move. I was very clear that our storage closes at 5pm. They said no problem and booked a move showing up at 12-1pm They called me day of to move back my appointment by 1hr. I said that was fine, and reminded them of my storage closing time. At 1:48 they said they were on their way. By 2:30 they still weren't here. With a 5pm close time on the storage that is 20 min away, there was no time left to get the job done. I took the day off work and drove out from the Bay Area to deal with this and they just completely failed to get it done. I will not be rescheduling. read more

From making the appointment to moving day. They were very attentive to detail. The woman who scheduled the move was great and asked all the right questions. The movers were very careful with our furniture, especially the fragile antiques. I would recommend them. read more
