3-peat win! We used Adolfo and his great team at Trans-One for the third time which was even more complicated than our last move as this involved 4 different stops with various offloads and pickups. All skillfully handled by the Trans-One movers, they are our go-to movers! read more

Now I understand why my daughter has used them twice already and now I've used them to move a recliner sofa and recliner chair from San Carlos to Cupertino. They were SUPERB! Adolfo got back to me right away and committed to a price and time and his guys showed up - wrapped up both pieces so PERFECT and TIGHT. I was worried about how heavy these were but they are so STRONG... they were able to safely bring it out of the San Carlos house and into the Cupertino house safely and pretty easily. AND it was a pretty hot day for them. AND they were so nice - moved both pieces to EXACTLY where I wanted them - didn't mind moving it here and there which they did with such ease. They were pleasant and everything went SO SMOOTLY and it was such a wonderful stress free experience. HIGHLY recommend them - they are worth EVERY PENNY... read more

I am so glad I called Trans-one movers when I needed a huge vanity moved from the driveway to the second floor! Adolfo was very professional, his team arrived before the set time and got to work right away. There was a slight challenge to get the vanity base through the narrow hallway and into the bedroom, but the guys figured it out in no time and managed to move every piece with no damages to the product or the house! I would recommend Adolfo and his crew to anyone who needs anything moved! Thank you Adolfo, you gained a loyal returning customer! read more

Adolfo and his team are amazing! He understood our requirements, and sent a truck which was bigger than needed for our needs. The truck was an enterprise rental, but who cares! Ours was a cross state move (CA to WA) and he took care of all of our worries. We did not have to fret about volume and weight, which most of the national van line type of services were asking us to do. Chewy and Walter came with 2 of their colleagues and watching them pack our stuff was such a joy. They do their job with utmost seriousness and care. There was no delay in getting our goods delivered. They unloaded, and setup our furniture 1.5 days later! I wish they are ready to serve us for all our future moving needs. read more

We recently used TransOne for a multi-bedroom move from San Francisco to the Peninsula (San Mateo County area). They were very communicative during the booking process, and their rates were very fair with others we also reached out to. We ultimately ended up picking them given their good reviews, plus since they came recommended from our realtor. Three of their team members helped us for ~9 hours. They worked quickly, diligently, and carefully, ensuring all of our items were wrapped up properly and taken care of. All three of them were incredibly friendly, and enjoyable to be around during what can be a stressful time. We would very much recommend TransOne to others, and use them again should we need moving help! read more

We required a FULL Service move, meaning they needed to pack everything from dishes and glasses, clothes. carpet, disassemble and reassemble. They were very efficient on how to load the load as well in order to deploy at new resident. They were so good, they finished under time with great results. One gentlemen pointed out a dish that had a scrap on bottom of dish which we didn't know. Make me feel they took on the job as if it was there own. Friendly guys and tight team! I welcome them back for my next move and recommend. read more

I moved with Trans One from Redwood City to Sacramento and the experience was smooth and easy. The movers called to arrange a time the day before and arrived on time. The manager, Justin, made me feel so assured when helping to make sure everything was safety packed. Unloading was pleasant and I'm happily moved! Thanks, Justin. read more

They were on time, professional, quick, and very careful with all of our belongings. Adolfo was also very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend. read more

Hector was really friendly and accommodating! I called him last evening for a last minute move, and he was able to fit me into his schedule early early this morning (within 12 hours of calling him). He arrived 10 minutes early, packed up my washer/dryer very efficiently and started heading to the destination! It was a really small job, but I like his efficiency/personality and obviously quality based on all the outstanding Yelp reviews, so I plan to use him in the future! Seems to charge market rate. read more

I've used Trans-One twice for my moves. Both times have been incredible. With other companies I've felt pressured to help move items, but with Trans-One, I sit back and relax and have full confidence everything will be handled with care and detail. They are pros, show up on time, and are very hardworking. I'm always amazed by the creativity of the team to use boxes and other materials to cushion my valuables. Both times, I've chosen to pack up myself, but they take care of those random items that hadn't yet made it into a box. Overall, I'm so happy I've found them and recommend them to anyone moving in the Bay! read more

Adolfo's guys showed right on time, exactly five minutes before the move. They were polite, friendly and courteous They did a great job, and the move was completed within the stipulated time. I would highly recommend them. Feedback : Adolfo, pls respond to text messages sooner =) read more

This moving company is the absolute best. I have never had such an amazing experience with movers before. They were able to load up their truck so quickly and get everything unpacked even faster. Both of my apartments were located on the second floor and they had to use stairs, so I know it was a lot of hard work, but they did so well and worked so quickly! Not only did they get everything unpacked super quickly they also arrange all the furniture in my apparent where I wanted it to go and helped me unload my cars. These guys are the best and I would highly recommend them to anyone moving!! read more

Trans-One has now helped me move equipment/furniture a few times now. They arrive on time and quickly load and unload the truck. read more

Great service, professional crew and can help you packing the whole house within a couple of hours. Definitely recommended to use Trans-One. read more

Fido, Jose and Walton were amazing!!! They made our move go SO smoothly and stress free. They were friendly, punctual, professional and took care of our belongings as if they were their own. We were so amazed at how efficient but meticulous they were able to be simultaneously. If we ever end up moving again, we will absolutely use Trans-One without a doubt! Thank you again!! read more

We needed to move from our apartment in San Francisco to Union City, with a pickup at a storage garage in the middle. Most moving companies I called had insanely high quotes, either due to the 7th floor apartment we were moving out of, the long distance from the apartment elevator to the loading/unloading zone, the storage stop in the middle, or a high estimate for how many hours the job would take. So, I was a little skeptical when Trans-One said they could do the move at a lower cost and in less time than any of their competitors. But based on the Yelp reviews, I took the plunge and hired Trans-One to do the move. On the day of the move, the movers showed up on time and got to work. They expertly wrapped all of the furniture, quickly moved the items onto the truck, and then efficiently did the reverse when it was time to unload everything. Not only did everything get moved without a scratch, it all got moved quicker than their original estimate. To sum up, they were great, cheap, and fast! read more

We paid $85 per hour for two guys and a huge truck. I was expecting huge guys who look like our governor to show up, but two petite men showed up, which is completely fine because they were very strong and efficient. They were also polite and professional, and took great care in wrapping our furniture, including our $30 crappy Target bookshelf. Hector, the owner, is very prompt in getting back to us, too. Some tips for moving: * Do as much packing as you can yourself. It's the lifting and moving that most people need help with. * Ideally, place moving boxes in one central location so the movers can just get everything from one place. It adds a lot of time when they have to navigate your house to find other boxes. * Schedule the move on a weekend or early in the morning. traffic = movers sitting on their butts + money out of your butt pocket * Move your fragile or important items yourself. Overall, we had a great experience with them and would definitely consider using them again. Well, only if Governor Arnie turns me down first. read more

This moving company is Awesome! This weekend was the fourth time I used them Honest careful and keep you informed on what time there showing up .. I would use them over and over , great service Cathy read more

We hired Trans-One to assist with a relocation from the Bay Area to Sacramento. Adolfo provided an estimate prior to the move and was present throughout the process. He used a decent sized crew and two 26 foot trucks to complete the job which started at 8am in the Bay Area and ended after midnight in Sacramento. The crew was extremely professional and never slowed down despite the rain and high volume of work involved. Some items did get damaged--I guess this is somewhat inevitable with a move of this magnitude--but Adolfo took full responsibility and we easily reached an agreement re: how to address this. Trans-One was efficient, professional, and reasonably priced with no hidden surprises. I would use them again and recommend them to others in need of relocation services. read more

When Hector came to the house to do his assessment he was very friendly and seemed to be honest. Originally he quoted us $130 an hour for 3 guys. After assessing our house he said that it would be better to have a 4 person moving crew and that would cost $165 an hour or because it would take them at least 8 hours and possibly 10+ hours that we should do the daily rate, which would cost us $1650. He also stated that he would take as many boxes as he could fit. He also said that they would disconnect the washer and dryer and reconnect at our new residence. He said he would unwrap all the furniture and take the debris away instead they stuffed it in our recycling bin when they should have taken it with them. They arrived close to on time. They did a great job of wrapping and protecting our furniture. They worked hard. However, they only put on a few boxes and left lots of unused space where boxes could go. When we pointed out they could put more boxes on the truck, Hector said yes and then did not do it. They ended up being really fast and it took them 6 hours, however, he said it would be a minimum of 8 hours. When we mentioned that to him he smiled like he knew that it was not going to take that long. Then when we asked if he was going to hook up the washer and dryer he said they don't normally do that but he would do it. The dryer vent hose not installed correctly and fell of the dryer. Also, he did not did not connect the washer correctly. Overall, not satisfied. Great job with the furniture but completely feel like we were ripped off and that he knew it was going to take a shorter time than he quoted. He should not have talked us into the daily rate. SHAME ON HIM! We will not be recommending him to anyone. read more

This review is long overdue. Back in April 2017 we used this company for our move. Although we only had a 4bd/3ba house we had collected a ton of stuff over the years. The moving crew was amazing. It was a FULL day event (two trips 15 miles away to and from) and they didn't let up. They were beaten and tired but they still did their best to make sure our things were taken care of and all put in the right rooms before they retired at 10pm. We did have a scuff mark on the dining room table which is why I'm only giving them 4 stars. Extremely friendly and hard working crew. If we were to move again I would use them and hopefully end up with the same courteous and respectful crew. read more

We had our moving scheduled in between the COVID-19 pandemic for a local city to city move from peninsula to east bay. Adolfo replied within minutes of requesting a quote and had a timely communication. We had to reschedule the move a couple of times and Adolfo was very patient and did not charge any fees for rescheduling. :) The moving crew of 3 men came in on time and started packing/wrapping things that were loose and blanketed the furniture for safety. The whole move of 2 beds and a garage full of household stuff took 6 hours of packing and hauling, even though we had packed most of the things into boxes ourselves. The crew made sure they placed the furniture and the boxes at the places where we wanted them at. I would definitely recommend Trans-one to a friend. read more

I would use Hector again. He was organized and his worker was non-stop. I checked out several firms, all pretty much charging about the same, and settled on Hector because he volunteered information about storage facilities, had his own truck (not a rental) has been in business about 7 years and I got a good feeling about him over the phone. He wrapped many objects with a clear shrink wrap, completed the move in 4.5 hours and organized the storage facility to make it easy for me to find objects later. His Guatemalan worker, Edwin, smiled and kept at it until the job was done. Make sure you understand when the job begins and ends and what is and is not included. No big surprises with Hector, unless you don't like good surprises. read more

Trans-One Moving - Hector (glasses) and Edwin, movers - Movers Near Me - San Carlos, California

I had this review typed up and ready to post since March but decided not to after I spoke with Hector. Even though he was only somewhat apologetic after I brought my dissatisfaction to his attention. The reason why I decided to post this review is because every since the movers reassembled my bed, it has been squeaking... well, checked yesterday and found that they decided to not screw in any beam supports holding up the box springs.... "I understand that they and you make more money the longer it takes but 4+ hours to move a one bedroom apartment... that is pretty unacceptable. They would wait for the elevator to go up one floor(empty handed) instead of taking the stairs after they put items in the truck. I packed up everything before they arrived. All they had to move was: 1 king size bed 1 dresser 1 small file cabinet 2 very light night stands 1 2pc couch(very light) 1 coffee table 1 side table 1 tv stand 1 tv 1 small dining set 1 rocker chair 4+ hours to move this 1.5 miles... Oh yeah... and I helped move too. If I didn't help, I think it would have taken another 1.5 hours... maybe more. read more

Very quick, efficient and such a pleasure to work with. They were clean, organized, and so respectful of all our belongings. Pricing was reasonable and the whole team was extremely nice and courteous. I will definitely use them again for any future moves and recommend family and friends. Thank you! read more

My family was moving from CA to Idaho. Adolfo was responsive to my needs which included a full packing service and door to door service. The 4-man crew that helped with the move was outstanding. They were on time, very efficient and fast. They were easy to give directions to and did everything I asked them to. They also arrived in Idaho earlier than planned to deliver which showed how efficient they do their job. I highly recommend Trans One Moving to anyone needing of a moving service. I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from this company and its crew. read more

Got an awesome service from Trans-one, They where very courteous and friendly, showed up in time, packed everything very carefully, not a single scratch! was perfectly delivered, I totally recommend them and if I have to move it again I'll contact them read more

Trans-one moving did a great job moving us from Belmont to El Dorado Hills. They had 4 guys show up and carefully wrap and blanket everything that hadnt been packed in boxes yet. They did not break a thing and I felt that Adolfo was easy to work with and made sure we left happy customers! I would definately recommend them to a friend. read more

Excellent service. Arrived on time and moved my stuff continuously for 9 hours. I had lots of fragile items and they were very good at quickly and safely pack and transport those. These were most polite and respectful people I have ever met. I told them several times to take some break and rest and they didn't. They worked very hard to exhaustion to move my stuff as quickly as possible and save me some cash. These people are life savers "breaking their backs" for us. Tip them well. Highly recommended read more

Immaculate experience moving three bedroom single family house. From the initial quote (which, by the way, was the best out of all other offers) and communication to how job was done, literally have only compliments. When move day came, Trans-one folks were on time, polite, efficient, careful, nothing got damaged and everything appeared in the new place exactly as we wanted it to. Highly recommended. read more

Showed up on time in a mask. They were fast and they were done in 4 hours (2 bed apt). But they charged me for 5 hours and also 5% more than the agreed price per hour. Also did not provide the final bill even after I followed up couple of times. read more

I've used this moving company now twice, once for a local city to city move and once from Northern to Southern California. Both times they did an excellent job, they were professional and the cost was reasonable. I was first recommended to Trans-One by a friend and I would definitely recommend them to others. read more

Adolfo was responsive and very easy to work with. They arrived ahead of schedule and got our couches moved from one house to another quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Adolfo and his crew were fantastic and made our move as seamless as possible. He was reasonable on price, his crew worked fast and took good care of our belongings!! We highly recommend their service and will use them again in the future!! read more

We booked Trans-One Moving to move us from San Carlos, CA to Seattle, WA. I would give Hector and his team 100 stars if I could!!! I kept thinking that working with Hector was all too easy. You know...when you find someone that makes everything a breeze...you cannot help but think "OK, what's the catch". Well - let me tell you, there was no catch...other than Hector and his crew take utmost pride in helping you and keeping what can be a very stressful situation into a very good one. Everything arrived safe and undamaged. They sent photos of the truck and updated us along the drive to the new location. Couldn't have gone smoother. Huge, huge thanks to this company - they are one of the best you can find!!!! read more

I once helped a friend move. Let's just say it wasn't fun and I got to see what kind of crud a bachelor had in his former pad (his "smut" coffee table of men's magazines, aka Details, Maxim, GQ, geek literature, empty beer bottles, a vinyl collection, in addition to a f**kload of dust and junk). According to an older issue of Maxim magazine, a universally accepted form of payment for your friends to help you move, is beer. WTF?! I should have requested a $14 bowl of ramen, a meal at the HK cafe, or some nigiri sushizzle and a few handrolls. So when it came time to do my move, no way was I going to count on this beer paying friend and the folks that helped him move that day (yours truly included). We need pro's. And off I went to the YEL(low)P(ages) and sure enough these guys popped up almost at the top of the list under "Movers". Hector, the owner of this business, was extremely courteous, professional, polite, and answered all my questions prompty both via phone and email. He provided a very accurate quote and explained the additional charges on top of the hourly fee, which ended up being lower than the competition. And given the stellar writeups Trans-One already has (inclusive of question mark heads contributions), I felt it was time to give them a chance, rather than the suspicious competition. Hector and his crew arrived about 10 mins ahead of schedule, even better. While he didn't assist with the move as he had mondo project management duties, he instructed his team on what needed to be done after talking to us and finding out the big picture, and off his team went. They took good care of us and our stuff. Big item furnitures were wrapped (like in Saran Wrap, almost a BDSM Power Exchange like protection thing) and very quickly too. Very professional and hard working, and most of all EFFICIENT, unlike my compadres who helped our buddy move that one time (and we took a ton of breaks and rested quite a bit...what can I say, we weren't professional like Hector and his crew). Hector originally budgeted 4 to 6 hours, but the guys finished at the 3.5 mark! We got charged for a little over 4 due to the driving time, but we were so pleased that this wasn't that big of an issue. They made the moving process easy, and it all went smooth. For once where it really mattered (and not just restaurants), Yelp really did work for me and I'm uber grateful for that. We could have ended up with some corporate schmoe who didn't give 2 $hit$ about our stuff, or I could have hired some low brow illegals from China who only speak Fujianese (thinking I would save money like a typical A$N) when they would get lost because they wouldn't know how to operate a GPS (let alone bing or google maps), charge us for time that they got lost (or f***ked around) and demand more $ and tip$ afterwards (true story, it all really happened). But I am so glad I went with Trans-One who came through. Thank you Trans-One and Hector, you guys rocked and delivered! read more

I recently hired trans-one moving to help us move into our new home. They showed up on time and were careful about our stuff. They didn't really move that quickly, but I guess who does when you are carrying heavy boxes. Anyway, when they were done 4.5 hours later, the guys called Hector and he gave us our price. We were quoted, when I hired them, $95 per hour for 3 guys & 1 24ft truck, which is a good price. It included gas & mileage. What they didn't tell me was it was portal to portal. He told us our total was $500. Now if you do the math, its about $430. They tried to charge us $70 extra for portal to portal and they weren't even going back to their shop after our move, they had another move scheduled! Well my husband got all pissed off at Hector & only paid the guys $440. The guys were great, nice & efficient, but make sure you ask if they charge portal to portal on top of the hourly charge. I would use them again, since they were good, but hopefully I won't be moving anytime soon! it sucks! read more

3.25 stars. Ah ha! My very first quarter star. Pros -reasonably priced and no hidden fees. $85/h for 2 guys and a truck, $95/h for 3 guys and a truck. -movers were nice and worked diligently -they came with their own dollies and a few wardrobe boxes Cons -Arrived 2 hours late. To a 7am appointment so it's not as if they ran late on an earlier job. Having been forewarned by earlier reviews, I called at 8am, at which point Hector answered and told me that the movers were "waiting" at the office because they didn't have my address. Seriously, this is what Hector says. Let's break this down for a moment. I sent two emails and signed a contract which was emailed to him, all of which had my old and new address clearly marked. I don't mean to be harsh, but let's be real here. Either he is incompetent and disorganized or lying. Not an auspicious start. -10 minutes after I text him my address, I get a return text saying that the movers will arrive in an hour. Does this gel with his earlier statement that the movers were "waiting around" at his office, a mere 1 mile away from my house? Ah. Lying it is. Or maybe both? Not cool. Other people didn't seem to have this problem so maybe something was going on this particular morning, and he made a poor choice of how to deal with it? Who knows. Luckily, it got better from there. They do end up arriving at 9am, and the work did get done solidly. The movers did soil our carpets and one of my sofa chairs which was not properly wrapped, but that's about what I expected for the price and wouldn't have in and of itself cause me to drop the rating. Overall took 5 hours to complete the move of a 700sf bedroom from one place in RWC to another in RWC, with two movers, for your reference, which also felt appropriate and reasonable. So overall, Trans One would not be my first choice when I move again, but if I were in a spot and needed a mover, I would consider giving them another shot. I hired movers to make my life easier - both physically and stress-wise. The physical help they did well, but being inconsistent and a poor communicator during the process actually added to my stress. Contributing to the feeling of unsettled-ness at the beginning of a move negates some of the purpose of hiring a mover. read more

The perfect move. Adolfo's team arrived early, and they did the job quickly without issue. Pricing was excceptionally fair. Many thanks!
