These guys are fantastic. They helped me and someone else move from Sunnyvale to San Mateo. They were prompt (7am!) and didn't start billing until they arrived. They were professional and polite, put blankets down on the ground and wrapped everything. They politely accepted water and didn't take any real breaks that I could tell. They moved two 2-bedroom houses and spanned about 50 miles in 7 hours. That's huge. Oh, I forgot to mention the fact that it was POURING rain the last two hours. They kept going, they didn't stop, they didn't mess up. They did such a great job, we gave each of the 3 guys a $50 tip. We almost gave more. Sadly, I will be needing them again in a few weeks. But at least I know what I am getting with them. read more

Fantastic job! Would hire over and over again for all of our Northern California moves :) The crew was on time, efficient and worked diligently. Hector was sweet and a true pleasure to work with! They moved our 1 bedroom apt + loft in San Jose into our new place in SF in 7 hours total. They wrapped everything up safely, provided wardrobe boxes and packing tape. We highly recommend them to everyone in the area! read more

Just moved this weekend, and I ditto Laurin's review. Hector (the owner) came by my apartment to survey my stuff and give me a time estimate (which was accurate). The day of our move, he and his helper Byron busted butt for nearly eight straight hours. The only time they took a break was when we insisted they rest for pizza. They were very careful (lots of pads, giant rubber bands, and plastic wrap), and supernaturally resilient. We had so many boxes of books, a monster couch, plus two huge desks that were ultra tricky to maneuver up a tight staircase and narrow hall. No damage to our furniture or to the new place. Sure, moving ain't cheap, but this was worth every penny! Hector says he moves all over California. Update 2/4/07: Superbowl Sunday and my husband HAD to have the massive Gabriella microfiber sectional couch from Costco delivered in time for his game (no one's coming over, mind you... it's just us). I called Hector at 9:30 this morning, and even though he had already scheduled multiple jobs, he squeezed us in this afternoon. One hour to kickoff, and we're loungin' on the mother of all sofas. Life is good, and Hector rocks! read more

So I knew I needed some movers to move my washer and dryer... there was no way that I was going to take it down 2 flights of stairs at my current place... then up the 3-tiered staircase at my new place... so my wife did a little research and voila... Hector. We had more stuff than initially spec'd... so he took what he could. Pricing was very reasonable and service was fast and clean. thanks!! read more

Long overdue review. Highly recommend. Hector and his team moved us twice. Once from a 2 story, 2 bedroom townhome to a 3 bedroom ranch and then again from that house to another 2 story home. Pros: Excellent pricing, prompt service, and they use lots of blankets and huge rolls of plastic wrap to protect all wooden furniture, paintings, fragile objects etc. Cons: None actually. They were the most competitive price in town and they responded quickly to emails. Reliable and very quick. We bought the movers lunch both times and tipped them generously. No matter who you book, be sure to clarify that your quote includes drive time and whether that means door to door of their company or just between your two locations. read more

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

I called trans-one in a panic because uhaul had cancelled our truck 24 hours before we were set to move out of our home. Trans-one got us set up with a 20 foot truck, and two movers for the very next day. They were great, careful and patient. Price was reasonable, I highly recommend this team. read more

I have moved a lot in my life, and have never had such an easy and smooth move as the one I had with Trans-One. Hector the owner is very easy to deal with and super friendly. Plus he is upfront about the pricing, which just happens to be a really good deal. His pricing is really fair. The guys that did the actual move were amazing; really sweet and HARD WORKERS. I barely saw these guys take a breather even for a second. My move took close to the whole day and they worked their tails off. Hats off to these guys. Trans-One - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

I needed to have one large, heavy item moved up a flight of stairs. I called a few moving companies and learned that the minimum charge would be two hours and for a piece of furniture that cost me $300, it would cost me almost that much to have it moved into my house. I called Trans-One (Hector) and learned that he would send 2-3 people for a flate rate under $100. They were available early the next morning, came on time and did the job in about three minutes. I gave each of them a generous tip. Hector and his crew were courteous, got to work immediately and did a great job. I imagine they do just as well with big jobs, but for little jobs they are a great deal. read more

This was my fifth time using Trans-One. And I have referred them to friends who have also used them more than once. They are very reasonably priced and their workers are very hardworking and efficient and very upbeat and friendly. Very honest and well run company. read more

After reading through all the reviews on Yelp for all the other movers, I decided to go with Trans-One Moving & Delivery Services. They were the only ones that did not have all these extra fees. They charged us $85/hr for two people regardless of weekend or weekday. Plus extra 30 minutes of driving time. A few other places wanted to charge for the miles to and from their office to my place plus gas, and a different rate for the weekend. Overall, the move took a little longer than I expected. But that was due to the extra time the movers took to carefully wrap all our fragile pieces and furniture. Not one single piece of furniture was scratched. We were extremely happy with their service. They're fast, efficient, very careful, and very reasonable price. We will definitely use them again. read more

Not the smoothest moving experience, but Adolfo and his team were very professional, responsive, and responsible. The price was not the lowest you can find in the area, but the quality of service is worth it. I would recommend Trans-One for moving. - Truck appears to be rented from Budget, but all movers were wearing Trans-One shirts and they were very professional (not part-time). - One of the movers seemed new and left a minor damage to the wall when moving the bed frame. Adolfo covered the cost without any argument. - Something really unfortunate happened during unloading, and some of my furnitures were missing (not really the moving company's fault). Adolfo was very responsible and worked with me to find a solution. read more

I was initially planning to go through the usual process of renting a U-Haul and tricking some friends into helping me move. But since I was moving from Belmont to Santa Clara (30 miles) and U-Haul charges $1 per mile, my cost would be over $100 for the truck + miles + misc charges. Not to mention I would have to drive the truck, muscle around some furniture (and a 300lbs CRT TV), and return the truck when I was done. So, I started looking for alternatives. Yelp pointed me to Trans-One in San Carlos. I tried giving them a call, and to my surprise, Hector answered the phone late on a Saturday afternoon. They were fully booked on Sunday so I arranged for Monday instead. They took about 15-20 minutes to get from their place in San Carlos to my apartment in Belmont (note that they charge per hour and their clock starts ticking from THEIR door). But they found me easy enough and the moving began! I said hi to the 2 friendly movers (they may not be big but they are strong; like Spiderman). I was moving out of a 1 bedroom apartment, and had already moved out everything I could move by car. The only thing left were things I needed a truck for. I arranged my stuff near the door to save them time. They moved along at a good pace, and it was clear that they had a system to wrap and move stuff and have been doing this for some time. There was minimal communication as the 2 of them understood what had to be done and had their tasks streamlined. Another thing to note is that all the moving/packing material is included in their hourly rate. In about 45 minutes, my things were in the truck, they entered my new address into their GPS, and off we went. I had picked 10am as the moving time to try to avoid peak US-101 traffic, but an accident on the northbound side caused some slowdown on my southbound route due to rubbernecking idiots. These people were costing me valuable time! And time was money! I weaved past the silly slugs and got to the destination with an additional 10 minutes of travel. Unexpectedly, the movers didn't slow down as much as I thought. They did a pretty good job getting by the congestion of morons in good time. Another 30-45 minutes and the truck was empty. Total time: 2 hours. All in all, I consider this service a good deal. Although it cost a little more than doing it myself, the difference isn't that great, and the benefit of having movers take care of the moving and driving outweigh the costs. My gripes: the movers could have moved faster. They had a good pace, but they had no sense of urgency. Also, although they provide furniture pads and plastic, if you have any furniture you really care about, you should either keep a very close eye on them or find another alternative. Scratches and nicks can happen as they are moving and/or the protective wraps slip off. read more

Having had a poor experience with another moving company previously (check my reviews), I was not looking forward to hiring movers again. But I did the usual Yelp search and called a few up. Trans-One not only had the best rates, it had the best Yelp reviews. That's a good sign in my book. Also, when I asked other moving companies about wardrobe boxes, they either wanted to charge per box or in one case, the guy even told me to get my own. Uhh...nice service, buddy. Hector said wardrobe boxes would be no problem, just needed to know how many we needed. Day of the move: 3 movers showed up ~10 min early and after an initial walkthrough to assess how much stuff we had, they got to work. Peter & his crew did a great job. We had a LOT of stuff, not to mention we were moving into a 3-story townhouse...so it was definitely not the easiest move for these guys. Overall, they were very friendly, efficient, and meticulous with our stuff AND our new home. They were very careful bringing things up the stairwells and because we don't wear shoes in the house, the guys took off their shoes every single time they brought something in. I hope I don't have to move for a long time, but if I had to do it again, I'd call up Trans-One. --------- With regard to Truck size - Hector did ask me how big of a truck I needed. Most people probably don't know how big a truck is required (I certainly didn't), so I just asked for the biggest one they had, which was a 24-footer. It was just enough for our move, which was essentially a 2bd Apt worth of stuff. read more

Amazing experience with this company from start to finish. I can't recommend their derived enough. Completed a long distance move same day, all items intact and we all arrived safely to our new home. I will definitely look to hire them again should I have the chance! read more

My husband and I hired Hector for our recent move to San Carlos. They were a bit late for our original appointment but Hector called us in advance to let us know the move in the morning took longer than expected so they were going to arrive a bit late. We didn't mind the delay one bit and appreciated the head's up. When Hector and his crew arrived, we were very impressed with how careful they were with our belongings. They packed our things up carefully and were generally quick but thorough in their work. They were also very polite and we completely trusted them with our stuff. Thank you yelpers for helping us find Hector and thanks to Hector and his amazing crew for doing such a great job moving us to our new home! read more

I went with Trans one moving based on the good reviews. I emailed back and forth with Hector and he came by one night to see what needed to move. He gave me a quote for more hours than I thought the job should take. I thought about the cost and hours and decided to email him the next day and told him that I only needed his guys for 4 hours and nothing more because that was all in my budget. He agreed and 3 guys showed up the following day to move. His guys busted ass and got it done at the 4 hour mark as promised. Be prepared to cut and throw away a lot of shrinkwrap. These guys are the shrinkwrap kings. Overall I am more than happy with Hector and his crew and recommend them highly. read more

I accidentally wrote this review for ML movers instead of trans-one. I'm gonna give credit where it's due and do a find and replace! no one loves Trans-One Moving more than my back. These guys are awesome. We were quoted 95/hour which included 3 movers and a 24' truck. Other places quoted us a flat rate of $1250 for moving from a 2 bed place in San Jose to San Carlos, but we rolled the dice with ML figuring it would hopefully take less than 12 hours. You would think paying someone by the hour meant that they would be slacking off or taking their time, but the team of 3 literally hustled for 10 straight hours for us. They helped us move a fridge, washer, dryer, 2 couches, break down 2 large bedrooms, a dresser, dining room table and chairs and a bunch of other items. They carefully wrapped and protected the items, brought them up to the new place and reassembled everything. They were like magicians. I bought the three guys some lunch at 1PM and they didn't even eat it until they finished packing up our place at 2 and ate it in the truck on the ride up to San Carlos. In the end, there was no upselling, no hidden costs or anything. It really was 95/hour and they were honest about the time and came in exactly at 10 hours. Gave them a nice tip and went about unpacking our stuff. Do yourself and your back a favor and hire these guys if you're planning a move. My guess is your medical/chiropractic bill will be more than what you'll pay Trans-One to take care of it. read more

Had a very seamless moving experience from Palo Alto to San Francisco with Trans-One! They showed up on time, were extremely careful and gracious wrapping up and moving my boxes and furniture, and also incredibly fast (I hired two movers for a large two-bedroom apartment and they were super efficient). Nothing broke, everything was placed with attention to detail, and there were no hidden fees or extra charges on top of the agreed upon rate. Would recommend for any local moves in the Bay! read more

I called Hector on a Sunday since the original mover i had scheduled undershot how long the move would take and was trying to delay my move date. I had to move on a Wed and Hector confirmed his crew could do it. We had a 10x30 storage unit packed from top to bottom with contents from our 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house. It included furniture, washer & dryer, a camper shell, 20 heavy gardening cinder blocks and loads of boxes. It was really packed and not in any logical manner. Hector confirmed his crew could come at 8:30am (he actually proposed 7am but I couldn't do that time). I came to the storage unit at 8:15am and his crew were already there. Hector had 3 guys meet me and let me just say...they were the most polite and efficient movers I've ever seen. And pleasant! I have never met a bunch of men who were more than happy to move a ton of crap for me. The move was from a storage unit in Belmont to a location in Redwood City. They broke nothing. I expect things to badly and honestly everything was smooth. $95/hour for 3 guys. No time minimum. My move took me approximately 5 hours. I gave them a 20 percent tip because they worked incredibly hard and with no breaks. We had to go back to the storage unit since we couldn't fit everything in the truck and it was around noon. I asked if they wanted to eat lunch before we do the second load and they declined. They wanted to complete the job. I will definitely use them again. Reliable and efficient. They were amazing. read more

Had a good experience with these guys. I called them on a Sunday morning, they answered and booked to come over to give a quote on Monday evening. Gave a competitive quote and we were moving on Wednesday. Great crew, handled everything carefully and got the move done quickly. The review would have been five stars as they committed to 2 trucks and 4 people, but only 3 showed up. No big deal as the pace was good and we got moved in a reasonable amount of time, but still was not what hey had committed to. read more

Great company to hire. Adolfo was friendly and professional from the beginning. Sammy and his team worked very hard and were professional. Arrived on time and worked very hard the entire time, made sure everything was loaded carefully and strategically ( we had limited space on our truck). I strongly recommend this company. The only reason I did not give them a 5 is that they charged me for driving time to drive to the peninsula, which I don't remember have been quoted in my initial conversation. read more

Thought this would be a good moving experience. Hector was great on the phone. But... a job that should've taken 3 hrs took 6+ hours and was extremely expensive. They have no overhead... they rent a truck for the move and have no moving supplies. When they ran out of tape they used mine, no extra boxes protective blankets, etc. everything was wrapped in plastic and should've been removed when delivered to my new home, but wasn't. Furniture was damaged and new home was damaged by the move in. There was no regard for where I wanted things placed. I hired movers because I couldn't do it myself... DELANCEY STREET MOVERS ARE THE WAY TO GO! Friendly, Careful, efficient and all furniture reassembled and placed where you want it. read more

We used them for a move within the Bay Area. They were prompt from the start. The quote and dates were set up right away. The team of Daniel, Sammy and Allan was excellent and hard working. Most importantly, they were able to handle all the ever changing dynamics of a move and adjust as we went along, thanks to Adolfo. Definitely recommend them. read more

We moved on July 3rd and picked Trans-One after reading the many positive reviews here on Yelp. We scheduled the move for 9am and 3 very hardworking men showed up as scheduled and got to it immediately. In short these movers where amazing! Very respectful, nice and courteous. They got the job done quickly with nothing broken, nothing damaged and no complaints (even when they saw we had them moving us into a third floor unit, maybe they complained in the truck? I would have). My wife did the set up for the move with the owner, Hector, and spoke very highly of him. There where no surprises with this company and everything went exactly how it was described upfront. Highly highly highly recommended. 5 stars just isn't enough. read more

This company is great, fantastic attitude, professional service and up to minute communication. I would recommend them for any job big or small, they moved a 900 Pound pool table for me in days notice, great execution and I highly recommend them. read more

These guys are fantastic! They arrived 20 minutes early (not so great, but better than late), and they did it all in under 2 hours. We only had a small apartment to move, but regardless they were really fast and careful. Professional, respectful, and really good energy. read more

Trans One Movers helped us recently on a condo to house move locally. Projected time to start was 12 but it was delayed 2 hours. For that they gave us another guy for free. For a 2/2 we had 4 guys. Correction, 4 very strong polite men. Easy to understand, good English.They worked consistently throughout the job and bringing items into the house they went room by room-wherever I asked them to place items. They put together our bed, futon, helped me place an area rug down before the master bed. Basically, whatever I needed their help with, they were happy to oblige. They certainly followed the rule "service with a smile". Sounds cheesy but these young men were consistently great service throughout the day, it made a stressful day a lot easier. At the end the boss came out to see how everything went. Very nice man too. I have nothing negative to say about this business, all positive! This is the second time we've needed their help. The first was a small job to move some furniture on 2 sep occasions. I highly recommend this business. read more

The biggest frustration was that the van was not big enough to move us out of our 2 bedroom apartment. So after spending over $1,000 we had to make more than 5 extra trips in our cars to move all other our stuff. This took us many many hours and required us to pay extra rent to our landlord. While the guys were cheerful and easy to be around, they didn't finish the job. Also they asked to paid in cash at the last minute on a Saturday so I had to scramble to get enough cash together. Overall, not a great experience and wouldn't recommend them. read more

Needed to move the rest of our stuff from a friend's basement to our place, so of course we called Hector at Trans One again. They showed up early, got it all loaded and unloaded in 90 minutes, and it's already done. I seriously hope I don't need their services again anytime soon, but if you need movers, call these guys. read more

This move was quoted for in March 2010 and completed in April 2010. The owner was personable on the phone and I was comfortable with his company moving our stuff. The quote for a short distance move for a 2/2 to a house was: - $95 hourly rate for three movers and 24' truck and plastic wrap services I also got a quote from Handle With Care and ML Movers, ultimately selecting Trans-One because of price, number of workers, and fit to my schedule. The actual move went very well too. Trans-One was efficient, and thorough with wrapping everything up. We ended up having to make two trips though because we had too much stuff, but this was not any fault of theirs. They also efficiently moved everything into the house where we needed it to go. read more

I had a crew of 3 respectful & professional movers take my stuff from Redwood City to North San Jose. EASY no headache process. I had a few couches, bed, dresser, entertainment center, TV, coffee Table and a few other odds and ends. I was looking around - getting quotes and Trans-One was by far the best deal I found.... One Company quoted me as high as $800. My price for the Saturday move was $100 an hour (Min of 3 hours) for 3 Movers, Packing materials and their huge truck. I was told movers would arrive at 7am, but they showed up at 6:50 and they finished packing up the truck and dropping the stuff off at my new digs by 9am .... So this was a quick 2 Hour process and worth the $300 plus tip that I paid. Quick & flawless procedure and made the hassle of a move a breeze! read more

Will definitely use this service again! Adolfo and his guys were great. We got 2 movers to help us move and it took less than 4 hours. They were very nice and efficient. read more

Hector and his guys were great! As if moving isn't bad enough, it rained that day. But they were all super nice, gentle with our belongings and Hector kept the mood light and professional. It was such a relief to know we were in good hands. Our move was a bit complicated with splitting a household and moving to two destinations but Hector understood and came up with a great plan. They were quick and careful at all times and even finished early. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Love, love, love Hector and Trans-One Moving! They moved our office a couple weeks ago - they came on Wednesday to wrap all of our picture frames (in an hour!) and then moved the following weekend. I can't say enough good things. They were quick, cheerful, and super efficient - and very affordable! No hidden charges, and I really, truly, love them. If I move again, I know who to call. read more

Hector and his guys were phenomenal. Super friendly, cautious with our belongings, efficient and responsive by email and phone when setting up our move. We will definitely use them again for our next move! Highly recommend this company! read more

Very trust worthy and nice to work with. Moved our offices and had to deal with taking apart cubicles and desks which took a while but was successful. Recommended! read more

I wish Yelp had more than 5 Stars, because Trans-One Moving deserves more!! I cannot say enough about how FABULOUS these guys are! I called Hector on very short notice, to move more-than-we-anticipated donations for a school Rummage Sale fundraiser. His 3 guys showed up 2 days later, on-time (early, actually) and filled their 20-ft truck with large furniture & boxes, in less than 1-hour. And, another less than 1-hour after that, all of the donations were un-loaded & nicely arranged in the school gym. And the whole time, the guys were happy & cheerful & helpful. I am a very HAPPY CUSTOMER! And, I will absolutely positively be a repeat customer. read more

Trans-one was phenomenal in moving my family from SF to San Diego. Adolfo was easy to work with, he did an in-person quote to ensure he was giving us a big enough truck but nothing overkill. Price was fair and he provided wardrobe boxes for the day-of. The team was exceptional - they were prompt, efficient, and extremely careful with our stuff. We have a tough staircase and they navigated it without marking up the wall. While moving in, they made sure they put all the boxes and furniture were put in the right place and navigated the move with my toddler running around. They wore masks the entire time (as did we), were polite, and friendly. Highly recommend this company for your moving needs! read more

Trans-One gets ***** (five stars!) from me. Over three sessions we moved a huge amount of stuff. They were prompt, professional, and hardworking every time. Hector did the scheduling, Rudolfo was the lead mover. Best of all, they graciously got things done within my time constraints. Going forward, Trans-One will be on the short list of movers I'll recommend. For sure Trans-One will be the first one I'll call. read more
