San Francisco Mover Reviews
Our movers, Bob and John, were excellent. They arrived on time, and even called me a couple hours prior to offer to come earlier if we happened to arrive with our moving truck sooner than expected. They began working right away and were very quick and efficient; they finished unloading the whole moving truck and car well within the 2 hour time allotted. They went above and beyond to figure out logistics of how to get a large piece of furniture through a slim stairway, which I am very grateful for. Worth every penny, and would highly recommend :)
Arrived on time, moved very quickly, did a great job optimizing space in our pods. Thank you!
Carlos led the team of movers very successfully and was very knowledgeable on the best ways to handle furniture with care. Unfortunately the legs on one of our pieces of furniture did break off but the piece was relatively flimsy and Carlos gave me some tips on easy ways to fix the issue. I would recommend this team and I would use them again, given their price. I felt like the team did a great job. My 16-foot pod was empty in nearly an hour, despite expecting 2 hours.
These guys were the best movers I’ve ever worked with. They were fast, friendly, professional and they saved me money! The way they packed the moving container was like a magic show! Amazing! I absolutely recommend these guys!!
I highly recommend Bay Area Moving. They arrived on time and got to work quickly after the initial walk through the house. Despite the rain, they finished within the time. Everyone on their crew was friendly and easy to work with. The move went very smoothly due to their professionalism. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Thank you!!
First time moving long distance, these guys made it a smooth an easy transition into my new place. On time, respectful, and easy to talk to. Worked hard and got the job done quick! Definitely would use this company again, especially the two guys that helped today :)
On time, worked steady, great workmanship, done early. Hope they are the same workers I hired for Saturday.
Great job loading the van!
It’s so nice to have efficient and positive help with a job no one enjoys. They are fast, strong and very personable. I’m so grateful to have found them!
They were a little late but did call ahead to say so. We ordered 4 movers but there were only 3. DID NOT MATTER! This team worked extremely hard, were efficient (completed the job way under that max time), they were careful, considerant, and respectful towards ourselves and our belongings. We would completely hire them again if needed and recommend to others.
Top Flight Movers were excellent. They arrived on time and proceeded to quickly move out the contents of my moving container with care. I would highly recommend them.
Quantum Movers are efficient and professional. They made sure packing was safe and efficient to move in their truck. I would definitely hire again.
Great hardworking crew…did an awesome job of loading…
They were very polite and understanding of my needs for where and how I wanted my furniture moved and placed.
They showed up on time, respectful and willing to stay and work an extra hour!
Joe and his crew did a great job moving our household goods. They packed everything very securely and nothing was damaged during the move. There where some challenging pieces, but they wrapped them very securely. And they also handled a very heavy item very professionally. When we arrived at our destination, they reassembled the beds just right. Good job!
Great job. Great guys.

Local San Francisco Advice
Because we know what it's like to live in San Francisco, we've written need-to-know articles for people just like you who are moving to or from the Bay area.
Major Neighborhoods in the San Francisco Area
San Francisco is packed with exciting attractions, including the famous abandoned prison Alcatraz and the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge. Newbies should check out the Wave Organ, crooked Lombard Street, and the wild parrots on Telegraph Hill. Professional movers can help you to navigate the wild slopes of this stunning city so your move goes smoothly.
Chinatown
Chinatown is where old traditions meet modern pizzazz, and it's located right in the heart of San Francisco. This neighborhood is not just accessible, it's best explored on foot; the Sing Chong Building, stores on Stockton Street, and the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory are all awesome places to see! Narrow streets and alleyways can present an issue for large moving trucks, so leave it to the pros to get your belongings from Dragon's Gate, past Grant Avenue, and into your new place.
Mission District
Daily life in the Mission District features a melting pot of lifestyles. It's got one of the most lively public hangout spots in the city (Dolores Park), as well as some of the best food and drinks in the Bay area (Trick Dog, La Torta Gorda, Ernest). When moving to this area, hiring people attuned to the area really helps. Professional movers will know exactly what permits to get from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to help you get into your new home here.
Sunset District
The Sunset District is the place to be if walkability, schools, and parks are high on your must-have list. (It's home to both Abraham Lincoln High School and Ulloa Elementary.) When moving to San Francisco’s Sunset District, just remember that its grid pattern comes with pretty narrow streets, and the cool, foggy weather might leave some water mixture on your belongings if you're moving in the morning. Professional movers from Sunset have all those factors under control.
Richmond District
The Richmond District is home to the iconic Golden Gate Park, arguably the most lavish and scenic city park in the entire country. While this area is set up in a more land-owned, residential way than in most San Francisco neighborhoods, it still can present some challenges. (For example, Geary Boulevard still runs right through it!) Moving professionals from this area are very knowledgeable about safety and efficiency.

The gentlemen that assisted us were really helpful and fast! The price was just right and totally worth it. They were gentle with all the stuff and weren't rough at all. They even helped us throw away our old box spring. I would totally recommend them to any of my friends and family. The weather conditions weren’t much help but they powered through! Thank you for all your help!
Absolutely incredible. The guys who showed up were right on time, super fast, professional, and easy to work with. They had all the gear and everything they needed to handle our furniture easily and carefully. I'm for sure going to call them again next time we move.

Arrived on time. Very helpful and personable. Extremely efficient and careful with our possessions. Really appreciated their thoroughness. Definitely would recommend them.
The actual movers did a great job. I would work with them again. Now the back end - I paid when the job was done via credit card. I was then sent an invoice via email with a different amount, I sent an email seeking clarification, but have not received an explanation yet. Please help.
I highly recommend Kevin and his team. They were extremely professional, prepared, experienced and super fast. We had a last-minute move and they handled it seamlessly! Thank you to the team!
