    Oversized couch over balcony
    Tiffy L.

    So I had quite a challenging move as I had to get all of my furniture, including bed frames, drawers, cabinets, and an extremely oversized couch out of my two-story condo. My biggest concern was my oversized couch because it would not fit through the narrow hallway stairs, and I knew it had to be thrown over a balcony. Proper Moving came through strong, they thoughtfully wrapped and secured all furniture to avoid any breakages. And were successfully able to maneuver my couch into separate pieces and get it out through the balcony on the second floor. I have to give a shout out to Ismiah as he was kind of managing or taking the lead on the whole move with his team. I hired three movers for the first night and two Movers for a second afternoon. Proper Moving is the most competitively well priced moving service in Orange County. Their response time was very prompt and they were very professional. oh, they even moved all three of my TVs, including a large 80 inch without breaking any of the TVs. They made sure to check before mounting and after relocating the TVs to make sure they all still work. Note: they just do not remount the TVs for you at the new place. Cash payment is required to avoid card fees. If you are hiring professional movers, please be sure to keep them stocked with beverages and don't forget to tip them for their hard physical labor. I feel like $50 tip per Mover should be standard! Couldn't have done this without Proper Moving, so thank you for decreasing my anxiety and stress. I will definitely be referring this company! THANK YOU ISMIAH!!

    THE BEST TEAM!!!

    BEST MOVERS! Ishmael, Auggi, Vasil, Arnur... (see photo) These guys are THE absolute best! They were great about communicating before the move. They were on time. They were hyper efficient and it's clear they care. Our move was not easy... We moved out of an apartment (2 bedrooms, 1 study, 2 bathrooms) on the 3rd floor into a 3 story condo (3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms all on the 2nd or 3rd floor (meaning 2 flights of stairs). From the apartment, they carefully took the bed frames and other furniture apart, and then wrapped all the furniture with blankets and plastic wrap. Once they loaded everything into the moving truck and arrived at the new place, which they did super fast considering there was only 1 elevator to work with and they were super fast at unloading into the new place. Once at the new place, they took everything up the stairs and reassembled all the furniture with the same care and concern. I was amazed at how quickly, but also how carefully they handled the entire move. They apologized (even though they absolutely did not need to) that they needed to take an extremely quick lunch break (maybe 20 minutes, but an hour would've been well deserved). Although I don't plan to move for awhile, I will absolutely recommend this company to anyone else who may move in the future. Proper movers is THE best!

    So hot

    Ishmael and Sean (Shawn) helped out tremendously in my move. I moved from a 3rd floor no elevator and they were sweating hard as it is 94f today. We used so many wardrobe boxes and that was clutch! What I also liked was the value of front pricing and no extra charges. They took the time to wrap up the furniture, clean up any plastics and tape after unloading and they really felt like family in a way as we shared stories about our own family and kids. My wife got lunch for them and we made sure they were hydrated. Seeing how hard they worked, I wanted to make sure they were taken care of from my end as well (tipped them generously) because they have families to provide for. Definitely like the Ishmael and Sean (Shawn) that came down to help my family move. To the owner of Proper Moving, you have star movers on the crew you sent. They were wonderful. Hope they get an extra bonus in their paycheck for the excellence they provide ! ;)

    Their service was great. They quickly responded, accommodated my time frame (it was setup like 4…read moredays before the move), communicated when they said they were going to communicate, showed up on time, great with directions/instructions, very helpful, very friendly and everything went smoothly. Shout out to Alfred and Carlos.

    Complete Failure. Paid for experience, received inadequate labor…read more I hired All Service Movers expecting a professional crew capable of handling a move involving stairs. At $210 per hour for a three-person crew, they were the most expensive company I considered. I chose them mainly because I expected the quality to match the price. I got burned on this one. When scheduling the move, I explained it involved one flight of stairs at the pickup location and two flights of stairs at the destination. The heaviest items were standard household furniture including dressers, a sofa bed, tables, and similar items. There were no safes, pianos, appliances, or other unusually heavy items. When discussing how many movers would be needed, I was told two would probably be enough. I chose to pay for a three-person crew mainly because of the stairs, expecting they would handle it better. From the beginning, it was obvious the crew struggled navigating the stairs, repeatedly stopping to reposition furniture and moving at a pace that unnecessarily extended the job. I even found myself carrying heavy boxes over my shoulders up the stairs, and also taking items to the garage myself while paying for a three-person moving crew. I did this not only because I couldn't bear to watch the crew struggle, but also because the clock was ticking and every unnecessary delay was costing me more money. The move lasted 8 3/4 hours, went into overtime, and I was charged for the additional time. Even after that, the move was not completed. Furniture still needed to be placed and assembled. I chose to end the job once I witnessed the dolly scraping on my newly installed flooring. That's when I flipped. Told them it's time to go. It didn't dawn on me that they'd been using an unprotected dolly throughout the move. Once they left, I started unpacking and inspecting my stuff further. I discovered additional damage to my freshly painted walls, new and existing furniture, stair trim, and a scratch on my newly installed sliding door. To put this into perspective, Home Depot later delivered multiple large appliances up the exact same stairs using only two delivery personnel. They handled the stairs confidently without repeated stops or hesitation. I have also used another moving company in the past, and the difference in capability was obvious. The effort the movers put in is not in question. They worked hard. The issue was the lack of experience, strength, proper equipment, and overall capability needed to handle this type of move. In my opinion, All Service Movers failed to assign a crew capable of handling this type of stair move. Their lack of efficiency cost me additional overtime charges, resulted in unnecessary damage to my home and belongings, and left the move unfinished. To make matters worse, after documenting the damage with photographs and submitting a claim, the company offered only $100 toward an estimated $400 in damages. And the $400 estimate was generous. I cannot recommend All Service Movers based on my experience. A professional moving company should assign a crew capable of performing the job they were hired to do without causing unnecessary damage, unnecessary overtime charges, and an incomplete move. Still unpacking. Hope there's no additional damage.

I…read moredon't usually leave reviews on Yelp. but I was really blown away by just how good this company has been to me and my family. When I first made my move in between cities in SoCal, we found Prodigy through Yelp and we were very glad we use them. Because we had such a good experience when we made another move a few years later we reached out to them again. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our move out date and packing dates had to be changed multiple times, but Iliya worked with us patiently to help find us a crew within just a few days that was able to move us out efficiently and conveniently. Carlos and his moving crew were superb and worked quickly, with a positive attitude, and were willing to accommodate a lot of our requests. If we move again in the future we would definitely be reaching out to Prodigy again.

I finally went with my gut and chose the company I believed could do the best job at a competitive price. Prodigy was the clear winner, and it worked out to be the right decision. Iliya, the operations manager, was very knowledgeable and communicative throughout the entire moving process. Carlos was the foreman on moving day and ran a tight ship with his team. Everyone knew their roles and worked hard throughout the day to make it a pleasant moving experience. My furniture was delivered the following morning, and the team lead that day was Leo. His team did a fantastic job as well. I have a special shout-out for Lalo. This guy was amazing and made my overall moving experience over the top. He made sure my wife and I were 150% satisfied. Our furniture was placed exactly where we wanted it, and he maintained a positive and professional demeanor throughout the entire day. Everyone I encountered from Prodigy was exceptional. These guys deserve five stars, without question!
