Great experience! Stu and his team worked quickly and carefully to empty out our home (we were mostly packed in boxes already but we could not believe how much stuff we still had!) and move across town on the same day. They assembled furniture and reassembled them in the new place. It was virtually turn key at our new home. read more

Stu has some of the best customer service that I have ever experienced. He is not only so helpful he cares. I would recommend him to anyone having a big or small moving job. Thanks Stu. Bob read more

Incredibly good service during a challenging move. Details included adding felt to the bottom of every piece of furniture so it wouldn't hurt floors in new house. Packing and unpacking the kitchen. And building shelves in a limited space under the house then organizing all of the items marked for the storage there. I hate moving but I really liked Stu Miller's Movers! read more

A week ago, Stu Miller's Movers moved me from my long-time apartment in Oakland, to a condo in Rossmoor, Walnut Creek. Stu Miller had come highly recommended by a friend, who had been moved by them 4-5 times, and now I can add my own high recommendation as well. If I moved tomorrow-though hopefully I won't-Stu Miller would be the first person I would call. I enjoyed my interactions with Stu himself, and his crew of hardworking guys. Stu understands how stressful the moving process is to his clients, and has a calming, reassuring demeanor. He is also a perfectionist in taking care of your valued possessions during a move-which is a good thing, of course. And last but not least, he carefully and effortlessly dissembled a large desk and kitchen table, to quickly reassemble these items at their final destinations. I also felt his rates were quite reasonable and fair. He runs a very straightforward, honest business. read more

Stu is a wonderful, kind, thorough, and very particular kind of guy. He works with an extremely talented crew who are quick to help in any way they can. He is an accomplished carpenter as well, and so he trains his crew in a teacher/student fashion. FYI: He is not cheap. He knows his craft and he knows what his services are worth too. They come with all the accoutrements - felt stickers of all shapes and sizes and tools are always at the ready for the second portion of the move. Stu is extremely specific - but very fair and practical. Color code your boxes and make sure you have your loose ends tied up before they show up early in the morning. Packing your stuff into boxes is not a good use of their time or your money. Our move took much longer than we originally thought - 13 hours from a SFH in San Francisco to another SFH in Piedmont - and everyone was wiped at the end of the day. I could not believe that they do this kind of move day after day after day. You see the level of care that Stu and the crew put into their work, but I originally thought the move wouldn't take more than 8-9 hours. That being said, NONE of the crew dilly-dallied. We have probably 100+ pieces of glassware/barware and nothing broke. It was exceptional. Nice surprise bonus that Stu is a New Yorker who has moved so much crap into so many places that he has a keen eye for design and helped us make some game time decisions regarding rug and furniture placement. Thanks to everyone involved! read more

Stu Miller really knows his stuff and he has a great team. I was overwhelmed trying to pack for my move, but they help finish the packing and did much of the unpacking at the other end. They were conscientious and really knew how to take care of things. I would totally recommend them. read more

Moving is very stressful, especially if your last move was over 30 years ago. Stu made our move a breeze. Stu personally worked along with and supervised his regular highly-skilled crew. He uses his own custom-made truck. They attended to every detail and thought of everything. I had such a great moving day that I am actually looking forward to my next moving day. read more

Excellent experience moving from Alameda to Sacramento with Stu and his crew. They were on time, worked super hard (including Stu himself) and helped us packing the last items (we had packed ourselves and underestimated the time it takes). They were very considerate and thoughtful when they put the furniture back together in our new home. Highest marks and a very heartfelt recommendation. read more

Absolutely the best moving experience we could ask for. Stu and his team are moving professionals at their best. We chose Stu Moving to move our belongings years ago and had such an easeful move that we decided to work with his team again for our most recent move. Stu is a calm, centered, kind, detail oriented person who is very experienced at his job. He knows all the ins and outs of disassembling and reassembling furniture and takes extra care of your belongings to ensure a smooth move. Moving can be so stressful and it's such a relief to work with both Stu and his team. Thank you, Stu! read more

Stu Miller's Movers was referred to us by a friend and wow did we have a FANTASTIC experience with Stu and his amazing very hard working attentive crew. My wife and I can't say enough about this company. Stu himself works alongside all his men and he is like an orchestra conductor. We had to make a very short notice move and Stu put together our move literally in one day. I called him on Thursday and they showed up Saturday morning at 8am and worked straight thru til 9pm to move us from Moraga to Lafayette. They packed much of our house (we already had packed some stuff and continued packing more on Saturday), moved it over to Lafayette, placed everything in our new house just where we wanted it. Unpacked boxes, put together beds and a very heavy copper dining room table. They even put felt pads on all the furniture that went on newly refinished hardwood floors. Stu even solved some problems by installing screws here and there and hooking up hoses where needed. Every request we made they did. His men all had a great attitude. Stu made great suggestions throughout the day. We were so happy with this last minute huge move that we bought them lunch and dinner. Can't emphasize enough the great attitude of all these men, coming from the top down Stu himself. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this company. read more

Stu and his great team completed our complicated move with efficiency and no damage. He and all his team were friendly, helpful with some good solutions and very careful with our possessions which included a lot of fragile items. I would recommend Stu to everyone! read more

You can't find better, more caring movers than these guys. Stu has a wonderful, philosophical view of his craft and has built a team that will handle your objects with care. His method is to hit the move with a large team of guys. I was initially worried that this would bump up the cost, but since they finished faster, the final cost was comparable to other movers. If you have them pack and unpack, they won't charge you for the boxes since they will take the packaging away and reuse them on their next job. One final little detail that really impressed me: after breaking down, moving and reassembling our furniture, they applied felt padding to each leg so it would not scratch the floor of our new home. A wonderful attention to detail that I would not have thought of or expected. Thanks guys! read more

Stu Miler Movers came highly referred by a satisfied customer. I expected to be satisfied with this referral - but we were delighted. Our move was not straight forward - in the Claremont Hills, on a narrow street, steep driveway, in a 5 level house. Stu Miller made it seem effortless. Stu's crew is strong, fast but careful and very respectful - you can tell they are all treated well. No bad attitudes about our challenging move. Stu was also happy to help with ad hoc tasks like hanging large heavy paintings before they left and providing referrals for appliance repairs - which made the move in process much easier for our family. read more

I have been helped to move by Stu and his crew many times over a 30 year period. They are always very courteous and extremely helpful and conscientious. Stu has been a godsend in the chaos of any type of move, a grounding presence, making note of and taking care of any and all small details. I highly recommend using them! read more

Stu and his crew did an excellent job moving us earlier this month. We had a lot of little items that needed packing, and we were too busy in the weeks prior to do it ourselves. Stu and 9 of his guys descended on our house and packed and moved everything. They worked from 8 AM to 10 PM that day, and came back at 8 AM the next morning to finish the job, which took them until about 4. Throughout, they were always cheerful and courteous, and never failed to ask us if they had any questions about where to put something or how to pack it. This story really captures our experience: We had tickets to a concert the evening of the second move day. I kept the tickets in a folder in a file cabinet in our office. They unloaded the files into boxes and moved them and the empty cabinet to the new house. They were so careful about labeling where everything went that when it was time for me to find the tickets I went to the new office, found the cabinet right where it should be, opened the right drawer, and found the folder with the tickets exactly where I expected them. You can't ask for more than that! Stu does not charge the lowest rates in town, but if you want a quality job done with a minimum of stress and hassle, you should put Stu at the top of your list. read more

Stu and his crew were fantastic! They made our move a million times easier. They showed up on time, knew exactly what they were doing, and didn't break or damage a single thing. He even fixed up some of our old busted furniture! I can't say enough good things about Stu. He's a bit on the expensive side, but worth every penny. If you want the cheapest possible movers, look elsewhere. But if you want a professional, respectful, thorough, and high-quality mover, give Stu a call. read more

I can't praise Steve Stu Miller's movers enough. I had basically a hoarder house and was given one month to move. Stu and his crew were very understanding and empathetic. They were very careful with all my belongings. They helped me pack, were very conscientious, asked questions, and were very upbeat and courteous. Now I am enjoying unpacking at my new place and feeling very satisfied with the whole move. Stu really wowed me, providing extra services like putting protective coverong on my fine art pieces, repairing my broken bed frame, and even using super glue to repair some kitchenware - - all without me even asking. Where else do you get that kind of service? read more

Update: Stu later sent us a handwritten letter of apology and a very generous check, which we will donate to charity.

A little bit more pricey, but excellent service. They showed up on time to the exact minute. The crew was a terrific group of polite and respectful gents. They loaded up carefully, managed to get everything out of our three story apartment and into our new house without damaging a thing. They unloadeded and true to Stu's word they put little felt pads on the bottom of every single thing. Our wood floors thank them! Give Stu a call, he'll give you the run down. He is a perfectionist. I think he was more tweaky about the care of our stupid old futon frame than we've ever been. He and his crew made this move super easy. read more

INCREDIBLE! DEPENDABLE! METICULOUS! ATTENTION TO DETAIL! REASONABLY PRICED! Stu Miller and his crew just moved my wife and I from our apartment in Oakland to a new home in San Diego. While it took longer than expected to get the contents of our home moved out of the apartment and into his moving truck (it always does so expect it), he was meticulous when it came to getting everything safely moved, especially all of our expensive furniture pieces and fragile items. He told us he would arrive at our new home at 8am two days later and there he and his crew were at 8am two days later. He got everything into our new home timely and safely. Nothing was broken. Nothing was missing. And his fees were fair. To be clear, his company primary moves people within the Bay Area, which is his specialty. This is the second time he has moved us; and he has moved a ton of our friends over the years. Finding competent and honest movers is HARD. We have all heard the horror stories. If you are in need of a mover, I suggest you give Stu a call to see if he'll do it for you. read more

A little late perhaps but a separate request for information on a mover prompted me to add this review. I have used Stu Miller's services twice - in January 2005 and in June 2008. On both occasions he and his crew were punctual, careful, friendly and efficient. Overall, they were more careful with my belongings than I would have been. The crew in both cases was comprised of Tibetan refugees/immigrants. It was interesting talking to them about their experiences leaving Tibet as they packed and unpacked. I would/will use Stu again if the opportunity arises. read more

We used Stu for our previous two moves and were absolutely delighted with his team's level of attention to detail, care, and above all calmness. We felt that we were being cared for during the stressful time of moving, rather than just having our things moved. For our last move we decided to use another company, and we regret that decision! Stu and his team really go above and beyond, and we will surely use them again for any future moves. read more

Stu Miller and his crew did an excellent job of moving me and my girlfriend into our new apartment in El Cerrito. Stu was very attentive and made sure to walk through with us to identify everything that needed to go, identify fragile items, etc. We are both visually impaired, and he was very attentive to this issue when coordinating the move. His crew was fast but careful and efficient (the entire move took only 2 1/2 hours!). Stu went above and beyond by replacing some of the missing hardware to my bedframe and helping to set up a table that I had in storage for many years (both are now rock-solid). This was the most stress-free, easy move that I have ever had (and I've had a few over the years). Stu is a consumate professional and a genuinely friendly and curteous person. I would highly recommend his services to anyone and will continue to utilize his services for any future moves. read more

It is without reservation and with much gratitude that I recommend and commend the Stu Miller team. We worked with Stu a number of years ago to help us in an out and back move in connection with a year-long remodel project. Stu and the team were super professional and very easy to work with. (There is a review below). This year in midst of Covid I needed help moving my parents out of their home of 38 years in the Bay Area to a smaller senior residence in Southern California. Complicated logistics and lots of emotion. Stu held my hand. He gave me great advice pre move. The team did an excellent job moving quickly and gently through my parents' home. Communication was excellent. Problems were solved. The delivery also was very smooth. Stu interfaced directly with the senior residence; was sensitive to the Covid protocols; and worked very well with my brother and mother. Again, the communication was excellent. Moving is difficult and stressful. Moving my aged parents out of their home and into a new living situation was 10X for me. Stu took a substantial amount of the stress off of my shoulders and I am sincerely grateful. I am keeping this experience with Stu Miller Movers as one of my positive memories of 2020!!! read more

I used Stu Miller and company to move everything out of my mother-in-law's living quarters after she passed away. His company was very accommodating about making FOUR stops as we spread out some of the furnishings to my daughter's condo, my son's condo, my home, and to the Salvation Army. Kudos on a job well done! read more

Stu and his crew moved us yesterday and I am very impressed. They were on time. Wrapped everything, even the light bulbs! Put pads on every single item that might, someday, touch our wood floors including a forgotten TV tray we never use. We are talking about true professionals. There are other movers out there however, they couldn't possibly measure up to Stu's standards of quality, He even put together furniture for us that was taken apart long before he got there and fixed our lamp! What a guy! Worth every single penny and then some read more

Really nice, thoughtful guys. The owner goes above and beyond to get things right, and solve any issues. A company with tremendous integrity and values. read more

Stu Miller Movers moved my mother's belongings into an assisted living apartment. The movers were wonderful. They arrived when they said they would, they carefully packed her belongings, they put things back where they belonged, they removed all their containers and any trash, and they charged me what they said they would. I highly recommend them. read more

Stu Miller Movers is simply the best. Stu is quick to personally answer your call or to return your message if he's not in. He is very low key which helps relieve some of the stress of moving. He walks you through everything you need to know about the move itself, how to get permits to reserve street parking for their truck, and where to get boxes if you choose to do your own packing. On moving day Stu and his crew showed up exactly ontime. Everyone was neat, clean, and polite - very professional. They take extra time to protect your walls and floors from any possible dings. When they unload at your destination, the crew again takes care not to damage the walls and wood floors. They place your boxes and furniture wherever you want. Then they make sure everything is perfect before leaving. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending Stu Miller Movers and certainly would use them again if I were to move. read more

Stu Miller's move was the best we have experienced, and we've done a lot of moves over distances near and far. Here is whats unique about Stu's move: - He packed our artworks very professionally, and we had over 100 pictures & paintings. The cost was reasonable, because Stu carries in his truck specialized boxes & packing. He knows how to handle art works. - He handled a number of antiques with professional skill. Ever seen an 18th century armoire shrink-wrapped, and then wrapped in moving pads? They did it. And then dropped it via ropes from a 2nd story balcony down 1.5 stories to a deck below, without incident. These guys know what they are doing. - He wrapped corners and handrails in our stairwells with moving blankets, he has special equipment for this. That protected the home from dings and scratches while his guys toted stuff from top floor down 3 stories to ground level. Very well done! - On the other end he also exceeded expectations. His guys set up shop in the entry hall, and each chair, table, cabinet was fitted with a protective felt pad on the floor-end of every leg. If you have wood floors, this is a real bonus & saved us much trouble. These guys are really good. He calls his movers "sherpas" and now I know why. They are from Nepal or Tibet. So lugging stuff from a 4 story home down narrow stairs was a walk in the park for these guys. Stu gave detailed attention to every piece of furniture moved. He lived up to his reputation for protecting artwork and antiques. His movers were skilled and efficient. He went beyond expectations in his care of our cargo and our home. And the price was reasonable, especially for the matchless quality. We give Stu Miller our highest recommendation! Kevin & Karen read more

You can't spell stud without stu, if you're looking for an honest, caring professional then look no more. They wrapped all of our furniture before the move and were extremely careful and smart about how they moved larger objects. read more

I just moved again with Stu Miller Movers and would highly recommend their service. They are on time and professional. We did a full pack, move within town, and unpack. I love that they recycle all of their moving supplies and they come prepared for anything. I appreciate that they charge by the hour with no hidden fees. They are hardworking and conscientious. I used them 5 years ago and they were the only movers I considered this time. Not a single item nor our new home had any damage. They are very organized and take apart and rebuild any necessary furniture. Thanks again Stu! read more

Wow. These guys were awesome! Super fast yet very delicate. The best moving experience I've ever had and I've had a lot!!!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Stu and his team are careful, thoughtful, efficient, prompt and thoroughly professional. Stu personally oversees every detail. Everything was beautifully packed and stored. Movers do not get any better than this. read more

As a professional organizer who specializes in getting people moved, I work with a lot of moving companies. I have now worked with Stu Miller on several moves and i can't say enough good things about Stu and his crew. They really know how to take care of your possessions, they are reliable and responsible and very professional. Stu is truly dedicated to serving his clients and seeing that moving is a positive experience. I can very highly recommend Stu Miller's Moving. read more

I have used Stu twice now. Both experiences have been fantastic. He is *meticulous* in everything he does and is a true craftsman of the art of moving. His crew are all extremely hard workers, friendly and efficient, and Stu provides constant supervision and guidance to them. Every single item is treated with the utmost respect and care. Stu and his team book up quickly and for several weeks out at a time, so you need to be prepared and organized yourself. As others have said, he is not a discount mover, but even my extremely cost-conscious husband has said Stu's work is worth every penny. read more

They will be completed my second move next week. Stu Miller and his team are wonderful, and I would not trust my move to anyone else.

I have been using Stu Miller Moving for over 20 years. Stu moved me 4 times, each time I had more junk than the time before, and it was always an exhausting challenge. Nothing broken, everything done with great care - and I mean care in that Stu takes a deep personal satisfaction in making sure the move goes well not just physically but also mentally. It's a stressful time and he ushers you through it with confidence and clarity. If you want perfection - Stu is your guy. read more

Thanks for the advice, yelpers. Stu lives up to all the high praise. This May we did our second move with him. He checked two days before and descended at the appointed time with two vans, a truck, and a team of eight guys. Soon everywhere you turned there was someone lifting, shifting, wrapping objects, asking questions, while Stu was running around making sure everything was done just right. One story from the previous move. My son and I had built a small wood-framed house for him to play in, and we had to wrestle it up and over the corner of the garage to fit through the gap beside the house. Five of us -- I had jumped in at this point -- were struggling to control this large wood box above our heads. All of sudden Stu appeared on the roof, grabbed the house and flipped it up and over the garage. No ladder. I still don't know how he got up there. Billing is clear and simple. No monkey business. The team are great to work with. At the end of the day, Stu is a thoughtful guy who has made it his mission to deliver the best moving experience possible. One of his crew members has been working for him for twenty-plus years! read more

These guys are so amazing that I've finally decided to write my first Yelp review. A month ago, I was on the sofa about to have a melt-down as I looked at an entirely unpacked mess of a house. With two kids under four, one with pneumonia, I wasn't in any place to mess around. So I called Stu just to see what it would take to move. He was there the next afternoon with his team of Sherpas (actually, they're all Tibetan) that led me through the wilderness of moving. They showed up in a very well-designed moving truck that accommodated all my furniture without a hitch, everything wrapped and strapped tightly against the walls so that they wouldn't get scratched or banged up enroute. They had ramps to smooth the path over the stairs at both old house and new. They covered the corners along the pathway of the move. They wrapped all my fragile items individually, even when I would have just stacked my plates together. They even found an errand for me to do out of the house when Stu realized that I was starting to stress out (it is crazy how emotionally distressing packing up a house can be!)! They are thorough, conscientious, efficient, and oh, so sweet! I'll definitely call them if I move again. Happy moving! read more
