I recently hired SafeMovers for the second time because I had a great experience with their company last year. They did not disappoint this time around! Davone and Alfonso were pleasant, efficient, and very careful with all of my furniture. They arrived on time, checked in with me frequently throughout the move, and were very respectful. I also thought that the rate was fair and affordable. I'm very grateful to SafeMovers for two fantastic moves and will recommend them to everyone. read more

We recently used Safe Movers for an office move in downtown Oakland. I couldn't say enough nice things about Nick and his entire team. They were able to disassemble and reassemble our cubicles and move everything without a scratch. They were friendly, flexible, accommodating, and professional. Moving can be so stressful, but Safe Movers will keep you at ease through out the whole process and will do an excellent job. read more

These guys were a life saver! We needed help last minute and Ron came to the rescue. They were quick, on time, courteous, and affordable. They had a truck and supplies ready. We have one more move that needs to happen in the next month and I will be calling Safe Movers. Thanks for everything! read more

Safe Movers took care of business for a local move. They were on time, got the job done quickly, and didn't break any of our stuff. The communication, pricing, and service quality was excellent. It is nice to know I have a local company I can use (instead of corporate robots that are good at overpricing, being slow and breaking stuff). I would recommend Safe Movers to friends and anyone reading this review. read more

I called after their website stated they were open thinking I would have to leave a message for the next day. To my surprise, they were open an hour an a half after closing. I was in need of hiring someone last minute to move a very heavy piece of furniture the next day. They worked with me until 10:30pm to get the move set for 11:30am the next day and came in under their quote amount! read more

Very easy to deal with and arrived earlier than appointment time and did all the work quickly and efficiently with no damage to stuff. Liked the movers - Chico, Jamar, and Brian - they were friendly and professional. would totally use them again and recommend them. read more

Run a mile my friends, run a mile!! 2nd stage: read Nick's reply, which was, as expected, less than honest. I went to collect my stored items from their warehouse when my new place was ready. Nick insisted on talking to me so that he could try to pressure me into signing another copy of their contract denying all liability for items lost or broken. When I refused to sign anything more than a receipt for my stored goods he threatened to refuse to release my property (which was fortunately mostly already loaded into the moving van I had hired and brought myself). I pointed out that I had asked him to provide the contract in advance of the pickup and that he had refused and that I refused to be pressured again into signing a contract that I didn't agree with and that I hadn't had the chance to review. He claimed fixing my broken piece of furniture was a "ten-minute job" -- seeing as I had made it myself and also had a professional woodworker look at the damage and describe what was involved, it was clear his offer to repair was a complete nonsense. Any reputable business provides you with their insurance and contract details up front -- they don't give it to you with the bill at the last minute. And they don't try to offer you slipshod repairs of valuable goods either. read more

I love Safe Movers! I have used them twice and both times (with different sets of crew members) found them to be on time, professional, energetic, quick, and customer service oriented. My furniture was in safe hands! Along with their great service their price is competitive. I love them and will continue to use Safe Movers in the future, as well as pass their information on to friends and family. read more

I don't normally hire movers....But when I do "SAFE MOVERS". These guys are quick and focus on 1 thing. MOVING STUFF. They moved out a full 1 bedroom apt in under an hour and loaded it into my new apartment in 30 mins. I called them at 10AM and they showed up the same day. There is a 2 hour minimum but this is standard for all movers. read more

Somehow I called SAFE movers, the Smart Movers. Well you know what? You'd be smart to hire them. They completed a two day move for me without a hitch. And they even said they'd come pick up my boxes. They are the smart, strong & Safe Movers read more

Super friendly, fast, and took great care of our stuff! We were out of the old top floor apartment and into our new house in 3-1/2 hours (less than estimated)! And we were charged fairly, by working hours vs. minimum guarantee. Very highly recommended. read more

I have never been so quick to give a review. 20 years in the Bay Area and this was hands down the best moving company experience, service and customer service. I had a challenging move in the Oakland Hills and Serpico, Davon, Miles and Shun were so creative, careful and overall incredible. I will defiantly go with Safe Movers again. Their phone, text and instant email communication fit my mom lifestyle tech needs and their prompt reply, estimate and professionalism exceeded my expectations. In a world where customer service is a lost art this company nails it! read more

This company was great helping me with my move. I was leaving Oakland and they did such a great job moving all my stuff after 10 years at my place. I didn't have my stuff together but they helped me get it together and even had some spare wardrobe boxes to borrow and help put my clothes away. They put me at ease when I was so stressed leaving, didn't lift a finger. It has been over a year and long overdue praise for these guys! Top notch service! Thank you! read more

After writing my original post the owner emailed me with a very well worded, gracious email offering to reimburse me for the cost of replacement shelves even though the insurance that I purchased didn't cover that. He said that "It is just not our style to leave customers with a problem that can be this easily addressed and one that clearly we were at fault." He even offered to switch out my bed frame with a new one or get it restored for me. All in all, I am impressed by his response and would do business with Safe Movers again. read more

I will complain if there is an issue, but am also delighted to have beyond expected service and am happy to share that with others when it comes to a company like Safe Movers. Calls were returned promptly. Workers arrived on time and let me explain what needed to be done, then began charging me for their time. Above expectations! The two men I had the pleasure of dealing with, Victor and Alfonso were both professional and polite. Expected, but one doesn't always have that pleasure. They didn't stop working the whole time they were here, granted it was a small job, but nonetheless, they worked hard and took care in dismantling some things and wrapping before storing for me. Above expectations! I would highly recommend this Company. read more

Great price and excellent service!!!! The two guys were on time and very careful when moving any furniture. The equipment and the workers were awesome!!! They were accommodating even though it was a last minute move, they even dumped stuff I didn't I need!!! I definitely would recommend! read more

Lets just say my first moving experience was with a very unscrupulous moving company, who tried to hold my furniture hostage after they jacked up the price to 2x what they originally quoted me. Well, only after I called the police, did they finally take my furniture off of their frekkin' truck! Now fast forward a few years later..... I was hesitant to use another moving company, but decided to give Nick and SAFEMOVERS an opportunity to unsour the bad taste in my mouth that the previous crazies had left. SAFEMOVERS puts other movers to complete shame! First of all, Nick (the owner) picked up the phone on the first couple rings, answered all of my questions and promised he would have Serp (short for Serpico, yes like the movie!) call me back to schedule a walk thru and provide an estimate. Serp called that same day, within an hour. Serpico agreed to come by that following Friday at 830am. Not only did he arrive on time (actually early) - he had gone to the new address just to see the route and access areas to determine if they would encounter any problems with the truck size and number of workers they would need. When Serp came in, he walked through our old home, took notes and asked questions about what we needed to be moved. We discussed my budget and what my bottom line was. He then told me how many workers he would bring, what they would do and how they would move the heavier pieces, including a very expensive and very large mirror. He did not try and "sell" me a bunch of stuff I didn't need and even told me he would come by the night before to bring me wardrobe boxes and breakdown beds to make my move in the morning run smoothly. The next day, Serp called and told me they could do my move at a price that was well within my budget (read lower than what my budget was). Next Nick called me to check in and make sure I was satisfied with Serp and the quote. On moving day, Serpico, Reggie and the crew arrived, exactly on time and came in like organized, synchronized magicians and were simply amazing. I have mahogany hardwood (stairs included) throughout my entire home and moved all my heavy furniture without leaving 1 scratch! They laid down red carpet throughout the house, wrapped furniture, secured appliances, unhooked appliances (did I mention they even took my refrigerator/freezer which was packed with food inside ; loaded it last removed it first and hooked it back up; ice maker and all!) and systematically loaded their two trucks. I mean super fast, I stayed for the first two hours they were there, left to go to the bank and get something to eat; came back and these guys were done! And when I say done, I mean the entire house packed up and loaded and the garage (trash included, dump stuff included) cleaned completely out! There was nothing left in the house... They told me they would take care of the trash and dump stuff...no worries! At the new house. They unloaded with the same accuracy and speed...everything was in its place; hooked up and ready to go! Even the washer and dryer (when they got to the new place, we didn't have the right plug and Reggie and Serp said if we went to Home Depot before they left and got the correct washer plug to fit the new washer outlet they would install it for us!) After the move was complete, they did a walk through of the house and the truck to make sure everything was there and told us they would take the boxes we unpacked while they were there to the dump as well! All cards on the table, I did have a small scratch on my very large, very expensive mirror....but no worries, Nick, Serpico and Reggie took care of me. They had an artist repair the damage to the mirror and told me if it was not fixed to my satisfaction, they would replace it. When they brought the mirror back, I couldn't even tell it had been damaged! Whenever I move again..... I WILL ONLY USE SAFEMOVERS!!!! If you want a great team of professional movers, owned by a guy who cares about customer satisfaction, run don't walk to SAFEMOVERS. Truly a five star organization!!!!! Hands down the absolute best! read more

I found these guys from their ad on craigslist offering a really great deal: 2 guys, 24' truck, blankets, wrapping, dollies AND 10 moving boxes for $55 an hour. I couldnt afford much more than a couple of hours but I HAD to tip these guys because they showed up within the window, they worked hard without taking a break they hauled some ridiculously heavy furniture like it was a box of toothpicks and they were friendly to boot! I definitely recommend them and will use them again! read more

These movers are really as good as everyone says they are. Nick and his crew were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Nick treats his employees very well, and as you know, happy employees make better employees. This was my very first move so I didn't know what to expect. I was worried that my stuff would arrive broken or missing. Not the case. Things couldn't have turned out much better. Even the stuff that I packed half-ass, they repacked for me because they knew it would probably break if they moved it in that condition. There was traffic on the freeway that caused a two-hour delay, but Nick didn't charge me for the extra time. Do yourself a favor. Call around for a few quotes then call Safe Movers last. You'll notice that their rates are one of the lowest in the area, and your conversation with Nick will be the most pleasurable. He even called me a month later just to check in and see how I was settling in to my new place! That's customer service. read more

These guys are great! They helped a co-worker and came highly recommended. They helped us move from San Rafael to El Cerrito and were incredibly fast and efficient while being careful with all our furniture. Helpful hint: pre-pack all your items in boxes, remove clothes from dressers, and be ready for them to show up on time. We got the whole job done in 3 hours!! Major compliments to Nick and his crew! read more

I usually dont post but they were so good to me i had to post this. I had to move 2 bd with 2 bthroom full of stuff and stuff while I'm working full time as a single mom. Nick was so kind and on it from the day we connected. He came to give me an estimate which was way cheaper than any other movers I got estimate from (most of them even didn't come to look). He ended up giving a flat rate!!!! He stopped by later that day to drop off boxes seeing I totally under estimated how many boxes I needed to pack everything. He lend me huge wardrobe ones and sold me used box for almost nothing. He and his wife came by the day before to see how much I got my packing done to see how much more needed to be done, and how much labor it may actually take. On the actual moving date, Nick and his wife came earlier than appt time(8:30 ish to start at 9:00) along with 8 guys and one lady! I ended up not finishing all the packing but Nick made sure I don't do any more labor and his crew packed up the rest for me. All the guys were very cheery, hard working, polite, and super friendly. It totally made my what could have been a disaster move done by 1:00!!! Guys were so polite they even asked me if they can use my bathroom. After the move, Nick kept in touch to make sure everything went ok and if I needed anymore help. It didn't feel like he was trying to make any extra money but sincerely wanted to make sure my move was complete and wanted to help. He even came by to pick up things I needed to get rid of!!! I have moved so many times and used other movers but never been so impressed. I will for sure use them again if I'm moving against which will likely to happen. read more

These guys were great. Rod and Alberto helped me out. Both were friendly and professional. They got the job done quickly and saved me a lot of stress. Also a reasonable price (i think, first time hiring movers, but better then other places quotes). I highly recommend. read more

Marcus and Davon moved my office from Oakland to Vallejo and were outstanding. Very easy going, friendly, great customer service brought them back the same day to do a second job for me on a moments notice. Will definitely be using them again. read more

Look no further! These guys know their business and they understand old fashion customer service. No worries, no concerns, no problems. On time, efficient, professional, and very nice. I needed to move half my household before putting my house up for sale, and I'll use them to move everything else once the house is sold. I'll also recommend them to all my friends. The best choice you could possibly make! read more

It was an emergency - we just moved our things from Nevada and my friends just cancelled at the last minute on a Saturday night. I called to send movers on a short notice and it was excellent service! They were polite and ultra helpful! They took good care of our things which consisted of items for a 2 bedroom apartment. They were great! read more

I inadvertently met Nick at an auction house where I bought 400 pieces of material that weighed 65lbs a peice for a grand total of 26,000lbs!! All of this stuff needed to be lifted, carried up 3 flights of exterior stairs, lifted onto trucks, palletized on 25 pallets, driven and finally unloaded to my property which is on a hillside. He offered his moving services and I told him I'd give him a call after I figured out what it would cost me to do it. After crunching the numbers and thinking over the idea of taking on the liability risk of renting trucks, hiring a small hourly crew I decided to reach out to Nick. His bid was slightly out of my budget, but to be honest after seeing all the labor required to complete this the bid was either right on, but more than likely I got a really good deal. In this case I was hesitant on price, but Nick negotiated immediately with the auction house since I wanted the material and the auction house needed this stuff gone. He negotiated quick, fast, easy and the move was planned. I was LUCKY that I hired a professional and legitimate business to take on the job. After the first day we realized this would be a multi-day job and honestly I thought the moving deal would be cancelled or price increased. This was a TOUGH JOB and I do not think a small moving company could have completed this project. I had ZERO issues and everything worked out better than expected. This is why I would seriously consider and refer Safe Movers to residential and commercial customers: - This is a legitimate business with payroll, insurance, equipment, schedules, but they still give good pricing that is comparable to other moving companies, but you get a lot more out of a pro business. Not only did they do the job but they also removed the liability from my end if there were to be accidents to property or people. This is not a "hire 2 women with a pickup truck" or "hire my dumb strong husband" Craigslist type of outfit. If I hired a Craigslist mover I can only imagine the potential issues!! - A certified forklift driver was available each day. - Nicks communication is modern and to the point. He kept me up to date without going through a reciptionist, office voicemail..etc. communication was cell phone and text, simple and easy. - His crew does not quit and are all easy to work with. They all worked in 95+ heat relentlessly. Honestly you typically only see this nowadays when you do it yourself or family helps. These guys just GET THE JOB DONE. - Crew were proactive leaders that provided solutions. - After talking with the crew I realized the owner pays a honest wage for employees which is important in the midst of bay area housing prices and people getting pushed out. - I had zero issues - Safe movers has many more resources than your average mover : people, trucks, equipment..etc At the very least, I would encourage everybody to get a quote and shoot the owner pics or describe the moving project. read more

Ron, Ashanti and Jakobi were professional, courteous and excellent movers. My appointment was 10am-10:30. They arrived exactly at 10. It was a good value for the excellent work they performed. AND they took away our couch that we didn't want as a courtesy. I am very happy with their service and would recommend their services. read more

I used Safe Movers a few weeks ago to move from Berkeley to SF and it was a great experience! Movers were friendly and took good care of my furniture and boxes. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is that they were a bit late and took about 1.5 hours longer than quoted, so of course the price was higher than expected. Wasn't a huge problem because I was happy with the service and the fact that I didn't have to move myself! read more

Made my moving day go quickly and smoothly. Moving your whole household is a stressful experience but these guys made it so easy. They showed up a little early but that was okay. Better than showing up late. They worked fast. Were very considerate and always checking with me which stuff should go and where it should go at the destination. I would definitely recommend using these guys. The bill was close to their estimate and they were waaaaaaay cheaper than any of the other companies I investigated. read more

Safe Movers gets 10 thumbs up and gold stars across the board, my move in date landed on the 4th of July and they were willing to work the holiday without some ridiculous mark up on services. Quality service, attention to detail and fast. The crew went above and beyond any and every moving company that I have ever dealt with. Thankyou Charles and Reggie. read more

Best moving company in the Bay Area hands down. I had one of the most difficult moving situations (100 very old uneven steps) from my Oakland hills home. Safe Movers handled it with great attitudes, professionalism and hardworking the whole time. I've worked with a lot of moving companies in the past and none even compare to these guys. Nick, the owner, was responsive and did great follow ups prior to the move via calls and email. Reggie, Dom and Jason the movers were an awesome trio who got the job done (and a great workout) in a timely matters. Five Stars all around. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend. read more

Jesus and Alex did our inter-office move in an hour and ten minutes - yes you read that right- including several heavy pieces up a steep stairwell. They were fast, here on time, and a pleasure to work with. Jesus and Alex were so nice and patient with us, absolutely terrific! We will definitely use them the next time. read more

These guys were FIRST CLASS. Advice, boxes, paper, service, personality, work rate. These guys were great. The owner was charming and the guys doing the move were fantastic and lovely guys. Chico was our team lead and his team were superb. Thank you guys, it was smoothe and painless. Never Felt like they were out to get you and rack up charges, they were fast efficient and awesome guys. Would recommend In a heartbeat. read more

Safe Movers did a fantastic job moving our office in Berkeley. We did a good job packing, but our 2,500 sq. ft manufacturing office still took ten hours to load and unload across town. The team was completely professional and careful with our fragile equipment. They barely took a ten-minute break all day. Nothing was hurt. My admin was pleased that they gave her a hug after our long day together. I will certainly use them again. read more

I called multiple moving companies to set up a small move from Berkeley to Oakland and Safe Movers were the only ones to get back to me with an estimate. Their prices are comparable with other movers in the area but have a 2 hour minimum charge. On the day of the move there was a mix up on their end and my move didn't get scheduled but when I called they apologized and sent 3 guys instead of the 2 movers I was charged for and they were there in 20 minutes. During the move they were efficient and they wrapped all my furniture up to protect it. They also managed to get my giant bed frame down a really tight stairwell so bonus points for that. Overall it was a great and hassle free moving experience. read more

These guys were flexible when I needed to move quickly. Got all my stuff out, stored it, and got it to my new place safely. Gong to recommend them to all my friends and anyone that's looking for a mover read more

Great Experience! We had Safe Moves move us from our old to new house in Lafayette, this included the majority of packing as well as the physical move. If I moved again, they're the only phone call I'd make. In short they were terrific but I'll give some more detail below. We have moved a couple of times before, international moves with large 'name brand' movers paid for by my employer. That's a pretty high reference point and Safe Movers beat it. Timely: They show up when they say they will and they get the job done when they say. Efficient: The crew chief insured that work flow was efficient and continuous. These guys work hard but aren't rushing - hence no damaged walls or anything. They have all the right equipment to complete the job. Cost Effective: Nick had provided the option of a fixed price. That was great stress relief because friends had stories of being hit by other movers with big over runs at the end. Safe Movers did not do that. Outstanding Crew: The crew were all great. As indicated I've moved previously with big name companies, Safe Mover's crew was an order of magnitude more professional. With other movers I felt the need to keep an eye on things, not so with Safe. There were absolutely no communication barriers with the crew. All the crew members were courteous and professional. In summary these guys are really great. They treat your possessions carefully, are professional, and reliable. read more

After moving with Safe Movers for the SECOND time, we are just as impressed as the first time we used them! Fast, safe, listen to what you ask, and very kind! They care about your home and your furniture! They wrap your furniture with either blankets or wrap so it does not get scratched or damaged! Worth it to hire them, especially with a two story home! Sy and Elmer always work with us very well! Highly recommended, not super expensive, and get you moved into your new place FAST!!! read more

These guys are the best in particular Tony who was quick efficient and worked hard. He was a beast when it came to moving, wrapping and getting everything ready for moving. True to their name they were safe and everything made it in the move. They were very accommodating both over the phone and also in person. I highly recommend these guys and my only regret is not giving them enough tip. read more

I had a great experience with Safe Movers. They arrived on time, were friendly, courteous, careful, and super fast! Took only 3 hours to move all my crap from one apartment to another, and they even disassembled and reassembled my queen sized bed frame at no additional cost. The owner Nick even came by to check in on the movers. He's a super friendly guy. Great service, great communication! I'm definitely reccing them to anybody I know who's moving in the area :) Thanks guys! read more
