San Francisco Mover Reviews
Listened well to our instructions and moved everything fairly quickly
Was careful with furniture and did well maximizing space in our moving truck.
Kevin and his team are the best. They were on time and on budget! They were considerate of our things (very conscientious), respectful and more than helpful. Would hire them again!
2 thumbs up!
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 :)
Amazing job! Efficient, professional, and timely!
Great job loading the van!
On time, respectful, clean and tidy, easy to talk and deal with, and hard workers.
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.
The team was courteous, professional, and efficient. They handle a task nobody wants to do, navigated three flight of stairs and didn’t break anything. Cannot recommend more, hopefully I don’t have to use it again soon, but would lean on these services again in the future. Respectfully, Max
They were very polite and understanding of my needs for where and how I wanted my furniture moved and placed.
Burdis and Marcus were awesome!! On time, fast, friendly & strong. I highly recommend them!
The friendly moving crew was very careful and worked hard, no wasted time. I would recommend Super Movers if you need your truck loaded or unloaded.
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.

Guys were super professional and very helpful. Noah responded immediately after we placed our less than 24 hour booking to confirm his amazing crew. The crew of three literally hustled the entire four hours non-stop. We appreciated them so much we hired the crew for the next day. PRO LOAD is the way to GO! So happy we found them!! Highly recommend!!
Arrived on time. Very helpful and personable. Extremely efficient and careful with our possessions. Really appreciated their thoroughness. Definitely would recommend them.
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.
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!
The team was super knowledgeable about how to pack everything. They were extremely friendly and professional and got the job done quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend them and use them again
Amazing job! I didn’t know if what we wanted to take would fit into the cargo van but they got everything and more! Nice, personable and efficient. Took good care of everything. Will reach out to them again without hesitation!
John and Bob were wizards, man. I had a 2bed/2ba to move, and only a 12’ van. The amount of stuff they fit in there would make Kobayashi blush. I’d recommend these mages to anyone!
I appreciate the two folks who came and helped me move in, they went above and beyond and made magic happen with what seemed to be an impossible feat. Highly recommend this company!
The moving service was great! We were in rush with our move and these guys responded immediately and helped us tremendously!! They did a great job communicating with us and between themselves. We didn’t have to worry about anything!!
Excellent crew Kevin and his crew showed up before time and was able to load my container on time . Very knowledgeable and friendly the whole process was a breeze with him from start to finish. I would recommend them highly….*****
They were GREAT is was a complicated situation POD with a long walk to storage unit and apartment across the street! They did GREAT! Just as GOOD as your crew that packed the POD a while ago! THANK YOU! I would use your company again if I ever use a POD! MARSHALL
I just moved from a 3-story walk-up in San Jose and used A2B Movers. It was a great experience. The team took good care of our furniture, even the Frame TV. They skillfully took apart and put our bed frame back together. The whole move went smoothly, and nothing got damaged. I recommend A2B Movers because they're reliable and committed to making the moving process good.
