Kristin was kind and professional on the phone when I called to set up our move day, answering any questions we had and following up to make sure all the details were in place. Roberto and his team were instrumental in making our moving day smooth and easy. They were detail oriented, efficient, and worked well as a team to get all our belongings loaded onto the truck and moved across town. In the unloading process, they made sure every furniture piece was where we wanted it before they left, making any adjustments we asked for with speed and care. Affordable and warm, we are so grateful for their service to our family. Highly recommend! read more

Roberto and the crew were A#1 Amazing! They made a very stressful move go so smoothly. Roberto explained everything they were doing along the way to alleviate my nervousness. We were moving from a long time family home to a rental house and storage unit in another town last year. They were very mindful with all of our items. They even carefully avoided a hummingbird bird nest that had been built right above the front door where they were moving furniture. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I would use them again in a heartbeat. A special shout out to Kristen in the office & Roberto (our move concierge expert). read more

See all

Good pricing model and Roberto's crew was very professional and quick. No problems at all. Also call out to Kristen in the office for being very helpful and cheerful. All around a great experience and would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. read more

The Handy Movers did an amazing job moving my house into storage while I prepped the house for sale. They were so quick, careful, and organized. A special thanks to Rigo, Mike M, and Chemon! I found a new place to live and The Handy Movers were my first and only call for the move out of the storage unit and into my new home. read more

The owners work with their regular, professional crew to provide careful, immaculate, responsible, on time, helpful, polite and respectful service every time. They come when promised, with adequate professional equipment, stay until the job is done as contracted. They can help you to arrange donation or discard of unwanted possessions as part of the move as well, if needed. They are licensed, insured, maintain their trucks well, and abide by all state regulations. I employ Handy Movers because I want an excellent job, honest workers, careful professional neat, clean handling of my belongings, nothing lost, everything done on time and as promised, at a fair price. read more

Everyone I worked with there was phenomenal. From Kristen in the office, to Roberto R., Rigon, and Chinon the three men who actually did the move. They all went so far above-and-beyond, to be helpful. And made my move easy and almost joyful. I'll definitely use their services again if I need moving assistance. read more

This review is LOOOOOONG overdue, but better late than never! I used HM to move in Oct 2015 (yes, that's how delayed I am!!) but I have to say if I EVER move again, they will be the first ones I call. They were so efficient and fast and totally unlike my last movers who should be behind bars. Handy Movers were excellent all the way around! read more

We had a great experience with Roberto and his team yesterday. Handy movers are the best movers in town hands down. This is the third time using them and they've always been efficient, considerate, and all around amazing. If we ever have to move again we know we'll be calling them! read more

The Handy Movers - The two big moving trucks - Movers Near Me

We hired Handy Movers in Dec 2024 to move us from Contra Costa County to Solano County. I appreciated the ability to reserve the move date with an online form which included details on number of boxes, pictures/artwork, and furniture. We received email confirmation of our reserve date; and, a week prior to the move a call to confirm available movers and we were able to add an additional mover to help us pack up our kitchen. Roberto, Mike, Rigo, and Chemo showed up on time and were well prepared. They efficiently and carefully packed up our four-bedroom home. Upon arrival to our new home, they were able to put together our reclining sofa and chair and our bedroom set. We were so happy that they were also able to pull out of the shipping boxes our NEW sit-stand desk and counter chairs and put those together too. Roberto helped us with laying out the open concept areas so that the living and dining room still had defined spaces and happily adjusted some of the larger furniture when I requested. They took the BEST care of my dining room glass table to ensure it arrived in good condition and even cleaned up the glass to remove dust and smudges. After all the work they did for us, the final bill came in very reasonably priced! We are grateful for the work the Handy Movers team performed for us. They made a stressful life event manageable. We would give this company and their crew 10 stars if we could. We highly recommend them. read more

Mike and Rigo were awesome, professional and very efficient. Smoothless process from start to finish. Worth every penny! Don't hesitate getting them they so wooorrth it! Highly recommended! read more

I can't believe I didn't submit my review! We used the handy movers in July 2021. We are moving again and I really haven't considered using anyone else. They were fast, efficient and handled with care. They were nice and courteous and I saw a team that worked well together. Moving 4 adult sized people who've lived in a place for years to the other side of contra costa (Brentwood to Moraga) isn't gonna be cheap, but the prices were reasonable and even beat some of the other places that I KNEW would not have taken such good care of our stuff. The new place was a tri-level and they didn't give us any grief over it. read more

The Handy Movers - Moved in all smooth like. - Movers Near Me

Ok so let me start by saying my first experience with them was 5 stars! Unfortunately, my second round with them did not go so well. I used them the first time to move my garage and large furniture around the home. I explained this on the phone to the girl taking down all the info. 2 guys showed up, were very helpful, careful, quick, and the only questions asked was "are we taking this?" Now this second time, guy comes, first question after I told him they were now moving my upstairs items, was " wait I was told I'm only moving 3 beds and a couch" I said "no, it's 3 full bedrooms and a couch". I proceed to tell him "oh and just fyi, when they moved the couch in here they had to take it thru the patio door". His response: "welp, they probably weren't trained movers, I'm sure. And we will be moving everything thru this front door.." um, ok... And just as I warned, he ended up moving the couch through the patio door. About 2 hours into them moving things he asks me "where is your husband to help you?"...... like wtf.... I hired movers, I shouldn't need a husband to help me . And what if I I don't have a husband or anyone to help me... how am I supposed to respond to that. They continue moving stuff, he and his partner left boxes behind, that I now have to go back and get myself. In addition he told me he wouldn't be able to take my mattress upstairs at the new place... oh and then claimed that he was told I was moving into a one story!! ... eventhough I was very specific with the girl on the phone that I had just had this company move me a few weeks prior, same addresses, etc. so now I don't know if it was a lack of details jotted down by the girl on the phone or if this guy was just making excuses. He seemed like he couldn't handle the move so I decided to leave all my clothes in my closet, even though I was told on the phone that they could provide wardrobe boxes to hang clothes. I didn't even want to ask to use them because of how surprised and overwhelmed he seemed by the job. I would suggest this company do a better job at communicating between mover and telephone receptionist, have some type of follow up survey for each move performed, and a better way to track customer requests, as opposed to just giving the movers a hand written piece of paper with no other back up in the office to confirm job specifics. All in all, if you get the first guy I had as a mover, you are in good hands with this company. And I can say that both sets of men were careful when transporting items (which is REALLY hard to find with moving companies). read more

We hired Handy Movers and Roberto and his team were excellent. They were on-time, friendly, provided excellent white glove service and were quick and efficient. They also had excellent recommendations for how to prevent damaging our walls and floors post-move. They were also very detailed, keeping track of how our mattress was positioned and asking if we wanted it rotated at the new house. You can tell they're very experienced because they were able to quickly remove doors, and disassemble furniture to get things to fit into tight spaces. read more

Had a very smooth experience working with the Handy Movers for my local move. They showed up on time, were prompt and professional, and were super careful with my fragile items including a very large TV. They finished a 2 bedroom move in under four hours ensuring my total cost was as low as possible. Very highly recommended - bravo guys! read more

Very efficient and helpful. I used them before and will use them next time. The apartment manager recommended them too

Have been using The Handy Movers since 2019. As a Stager and Realtor, I can't say enough good things about this company! From the first phone call to the final event - smooth as glass! Roberto and his crew are my GO-TO people. I refer them to ALL my friends and colleagues who love them as well. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend Handy Mover's! From start to finish, the process was so professional. Danielle helped schedule our appt and was so informative, efficient and friendly. We hired 3 movers and they were ALL so hard working, respectful and accommodating. I can't thank them enough for how organized and helpful they were! read more

I called them about a month before I was going to move. I got everything scheduled. Kristen explained everything and answered all my questions. The move went smoothly minus temporarily losing a very important piece of jewelry. They came out to look for it and it was found in like 5 minutes. I would recommend them to anyone who needs to move. Great team! Thank you! read more

I literally could sit here all day and look up adjectives to describe just how fantastic this company is and their employees. I first experienced their crew in full action when my friend was moving her parents closer to her. Her parents had been in the same house for 40 years. I was so impressed with how they treated everything with care and they were so good with her parents and patient and they worked their asses off. So when it was my time to move, I knew who I was going to use. Professional, hard working, thoughtful, respectful, I could literally go ON and ON and ON. If you're looking for a great company to use to move, please use these folks. You will not regret it. I need to get my receipt so I can list all their names, but I believe we had Roberto, Mike, Chemo and I can't remember the other guys name ( so so sorry ) I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for helping us with our move. Best money I have ever spent and I will never use anyone else. Sincerely, Noell & John read more

I highly recommend this moving company. My parents used them so I went with them and I was very satisfied. I had Roberto and his crew. From the office staff to the workers, they were very reliable and made my move stress free. read more

I have used The Handy Movers twice now and both experiences have been smooth and professional during a stressful time that is moving. During my most recent move, I had two movers for 4 hours. I moved from an apartment to a town house less than 2 miles away. Mark and Rigo were our movers during this event and they both worked extremely hard and efficiently all 4 hours. They strived to keep us within the timeframe and not overcharge. They were able to dissemble, protect furniture, and reassemble in the new location. I would highly reccommend their company for your local move. read more

If we could give 10 stars we would. This is our second time we used them for our "downsizing" and "upsizing" moves. From our first interaction on the phone with Kristen, to the packing finesse of Roberto and Chemo, to the actual move day where we had 4 guys, they are moving experts! Not only were they professionals, they were very courteous. They made the process go smoothly and they literally did all the heavy lifting. A thousand Thank You's to Kristen, Roberto, Chemo, Mike, and Evers. We highly recommend The Handymovers!! read more

Reliable movers. They work well. They are fast. They are careful. They are good guys. They moved my belongings from one storage unit to another without any problems. They made everything fit. They are reasonable. They originally moved my belongings and furniture from my big house to a storage unit 4-5 years ago. They did a good job. Furniture was wrapped and protected. I used them again. I recommend them! read more

I cannot overstate how pleased we are with the moving experience we just had! We selected Handy Movers based on the reviews here and it was a breath of fresh air that they lived up to their reputation. The guys showed up on time, they were very cordial, they were very professional, and they handled our items and our homes with kid-gloves. They also went above and beyond to help up put together a piece of furniture that we assumed that we would have to do ourselves. We also appreciated the fact that they guys were cognizant of social distancing and wore masks because of Covid-19 precautions. There were no glitches (AMAZING!). We have moved many times (including several moves in the SF Bay area) and have never experienced the quality of service that we received from Handy Movers! Thank you Handy Movers for making our move a breeze! read more

Best movers!!! Excellent service and very efficient. Also very helpful with furniture placement and advice. These guys really hustle. Highly recommend this company! read more

Someone recommended Handy Movers to me and I decided to try it based on yelp reviews. Right at the first call with the company we felt very confident in helping us move everything and being honest about the pricing and process. The day of the move they came right on time, there was a group leader who took a quick tour of what all needed moving(everything for us!) and his attitude was so professional and friendly at the same time. He assured us he will take care of things for us so we had nothing to worry. He also gave us a rough estimate on the time so we were not alarmed at the end of day. The team members were very responsible as well, they moved everything with care that each item needed. We did not have to do a thing once they were there. We also had some backyard stuff and lots of plants that they were not sure if they would be able to move. But towards the end they made it happen. Our plants rode the back of the truck for a 40 minute ride and made it safe and sound to our new place. I would hire Handy Movers every time! Going to put the name of the team here: Driver/Team lead: Roberto R, Truck number: Helpers: Rigo M, Chemo M, Ever H read more

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of my experience working with The Handy Movers; specifically, Roberto R., Ever H., and Chemo M. They made the stress of moving day a breeze, they were all friendly, quite funny, and oddly relaxed. I literally feel like I found my movers for life- next time I move, I'll be requesting them on moving day. They went above and beyond by helping me put the frame of my bed together, reinforcing my wobbly IKEA couch and finishing the move far faster than I anticipated. They came recommended to me by a real estate agent who used them, and I would give 10 stars if it was an option. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience. They were very easy to work with both before our moving day and while they were at our house. They wrapped all of the furniture and electronics completely to ensure nothing was damaged in the truck. We were worried about not fitting everything in the truck but they packed it so well that everything only took up 2/3 of the space. They were also super efficient. Another small thing I really appreciated: the FAQ on their website was very helpful for understanding how to prepare and what to expect for tipping. I've used several different movers in different states and the Handy Movers were by far the best. read more

This company was great. All the people I dealt with in the office were very helpful. Mike and Chemo did a great job packing and the next day they, along with Roberto, were fast, efficient, careful with my antiques and SO hard working in the awful heat. They were polite, helpful and added too many little touches to write here. I can't recommend them highly enough. I would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

I was helping a friend move today and had to say a few words about the moving company they used , namely Handy Movers. We were all impressed with their professional attitude and work ethic . With Roberto leading the crew , they busted their rear ends for a solid 9 hours. It's hard to find a company that does an outstanding job, well finally I've found one. Based on whit I witnessed today I would not hesitate to recommend Handy Movers. read more

If I could give the company and the movers 10 stars I would. On time, professional and very friendly. Anyone who has moved before knows what a nightmare it can be. This company was awesome and they were more than reasonable. Thanks for making my move stress free. Great job. Smiling as I write the review! read more

This mover was a recommendation and I am thrilled with the service and the move went smoothly. They did a good job navigating the rain-thankfully when we were unloading the rain stopped. Mike was very nice. I had a lot more stuff than I thought I did but isn't that how it usually goes. You will be pleased to use them, and the price is affordable. read more

This is the first time I hired professional movers for a local move about half hour away. We collected some furniture and lots of stuff over 8 years in our 1-story 3BR/2BA (~1300 sqft) house and were going to move into a 4BR/2.5BA house (~2100 sqft). Overall, Handy Movers were outstanding and worth the price. I chose a team of 4 guys, and they sent Roberto (the lead), Jose, Adrian, and Jonas. Even though the hourly rate is higher than say a team of 3 guys, I'd figure the move would be more efficient and smooth and total hours would be less. Kristen from the HQ was also pleasant and extremely helpful - answering all my questions, giving great suggestions, and following up. The moving truck arrived at the exact appontment time, and I was glad they called ahead. Roberto then walked through the house and I explained what needed to be moved and what didn't. The move then started - from dissassembling furniture, wrapping up the parts in blankets, and moving all the boxes and pieces to the truck took 1.5 hours only. The truck (~32 footer I think) was barely full so I decided to add some more stuff like dissassembling the garage storage cabinets and other big appliances. These guys were meticulous, efficient, and amazing to watch in action. The unloading was equally efficient - 1.5 hours also. They helped us tighten up a few loose table and chair legs and helped put on the felt pads on the furniture (we were moving into a house with hardwood floors). Roberto even gave useful suggestions on how to arrange furniture to open up the rooms and make it more welcoming - after all they do this full time and probably saw lots and lots of examples. Bottom line - thank you Yelp for helping me find these guys. I would not hesitate to use them again for their sheer efficiency and the peace of mind you get. Be sure the mention Yelp to get the discount. Another suggestion is to pack as much as you can into boxes with labels! read more

I've moved every 3-4 years since I was a child (thanks to my dad being in the military) and have been spoiled by white glove military moving and corporate relocation specialists (in my professional career). It was not until I moved for personal reasons without the benefit of relocation specialists that I got my feelings hurt. That's another LONG story not worth mentioning. Needless to say, there are some sketchy moving companies out there, but the Handy Movers are on not them. So here is what I did once I found new housing. I called multiple moving companies based on their yelp reviews. All were pleasant, but I went with the Handy movers because they were: 1. Super efficient to deal with via email and the phone; 2. Less expensive (even without the discount); and 3. Provided an additional "yelp" discount. No one came out to scope my home (which works for me because I needed to be in the office for work), but the night before I did received a confirmation call. The movers showed up at 9:15AM (within the 9-10AM window) and finished packing and moving my home by 1:30PM. They took a little break, drove to my new home, and finished up there by 5PM. Adrian, Jorge and Anselmo were careful, efficient and professional the entire time. Yeah, team! I highly recommend working with these movers (Adrian is a wizard parking and navigating the huge van on narrow neighborhood streets). I also wish you the best of luck in your relocation because it is stressful and exhausting. It is definitely worth the money to have professional help. read more

Needed to move again and contacted the same company to help. Their quote for the move was better then other companies contacted and they waived the 5% fuel fee for repeat customers. The movers were professional and nice, as well as, Kristen and Nicole at the office whom I spoke with on the telephone to discuss my moving questions. I recommend The Handy Movers if you need to move and will call again if I need their services. They are a trustworthy company and I don't have to worry about any glitches or problems to ever happen. read more

Having had my fair share of bad moving experiences, I was absolutely determined to make my recent move as smooth as possible. No more trusting random picks by my dad or anyone else. So I did my research this time and came up with The Handy Movers. I just have to say that my moving team consisted of Roberto, Bret and Jorge and these guys were awesome from start to finish. They showed up on time and were ultra efficient while still taking the utmost care to properly move all my furniture, boxes and electronics. Absolutely no damage was sustained due to their expert handling of all items, large or small. In the end, I have to say that this is hands-down the BEST moving company I have ever used. Book them and have peace of mind that your move will go smooth. The extra discount for mentioning Yelp is extra icing on the cake! read more

I called Handy Movers to do an onsite move for several pieces of furniture that needed to be moved upstairs. I spoke with Kristen and she kept me in the loop for all concerns - if you have an onsite move, remember to give them that list so they can make an estimate of their time. It's a minimun 2.5 for their time so keep that in mind. They also offer trash removal - in our case it was the plethora of boxes and various things that were leftover when cleaning out a room and they charged $75 for that. Any furniture that you don't want and aren't able to donate on your own they will also move that for you and will donate it to a charity. Handy Movers were professional and a pleasure to deal with. If you have an onsite move or a move to another apartment/house, Handy Movers delivers. read more

Back to give a second review. The first review was regarding the sterling service I was given during the scheduling of the move. This review is directly relating to the three men who moved me. All I can say, you can not go wrong with these guys, they are FAST, EFFICIENT, FRIENDLY, PROFESSINAL, FAIR PRICE. Seriously, the BEST moving company I have ever used, and I have used at least four others in my lifetime thus far. You will notice every review is five stars..THEY EARN IT! Hire them and you will be exceptionally pleased. It's almost too good to be true to find such an honest, reliable and speedy service company, but they are real! Thank you Handy Movers for being so honest and for hiring such exception office and moving staff. I hope you treat them well because they are most definitely the reason everyone is so pleased. THANK YOU for such exceptional service! read more

Highly recommend this company. They are friendly, hardworking, extremely careful, attentive, corteous, respectful, have a great attitude and willing to get the work done efficiently. Our movers were Mark, Gerardo & Mario! Would not think twice about hiring them again if need be. Thumbs up. They deserve more than five stars. read more

After 5 years we called on Handy Movers to assist us in moving. They do not disappoint. They arrived on time. Jonas and his crew went above and beyond our expectations. They seemed to be jolly workers since we kept hearing them whistling or humming while doing the work. Great teamwork among the crew and they finished on time. All furniture was handled with care. They went the extra mile to help us transport some of my plants too to a different location. We appreciate their hard work. Highly recommended! read more
