They moved everything super fast, but took great care with my furniture. I will absolutely use this company again in the future. They made a really last minute stressful move so much easier! Thank you guys so much!!" ????? Gretchen L. Local Moving "These guys were amazing! We had a lot of furniture to move- in hindsight, I should have gone with three movers instead of two. But these two were great! They kept their focus on the task, spent their time wisely, working out the issues with moving large heavy furniture with careful planning, with respect and care for my items. When the job went over hours, they never wavered and made sure the job was done completely to our satisfaction. I hope o never have to move again, but if I do, I’m going with Budget Hauling!!" ????? Alaa H. Local Moving "These guys were great! I can’t even begin... I was super stressed out for moving day ( wouldn’t any one with a toddler be?) I was literally dreading it..they showed up on time and moved quick.. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a hoarder so I had A LOT of stuff but they got it all out within the same time frame given! I will 100% recommend this company to everyone!" ????? Brandee L. Local Moving "I have used a few different moving companies and Budget Hauling was by far the best!! They not only do moving jobs but will haul of junk too! As long as I am in Sacramento I will always use them for all my needs!!! Thabk you for making my move so much better and easier!!.......Brandee L" ????? Sarah B. Furniture Moving & Heavy Lifting "David and Gage arrived a little before our appointment and they moved and assembled a very heavy elliptical machine upstairs. They did safely and without damaging walls or doorways (stairwell and stairs are narrow). They completed the task quickly and were very polite and helpful. I will definitely hire them again if I need the services they offer." ????? Debralee L. Junk Removal "Dave and Jeremy were both very friendly and professional. They arrived when promised and removed my 2 refrigerators and 1 washer very quickly. They were very reasonably priced and I will definitely use them again. ????? Kevin D. Local Moving "We scheduled Budget Hauling for 5 hours initially and ended up using them for 10. They did a phenomenal job, took care of all our furniture, wrapped everything before moving it and set everything up. They were careful to be sure they went the right way into the house for each piece of furniture. They were on time and very friendly. We definitely recommend using them!" ????? Stacey S. Local Moving "Wow. Best movers ever. Reached out via Thumbtack to several movers. Budget Hauling quickly responded with a great, fair bid. They were flexible with the time and we did the full transaction via text. They called ahead of arrival and came exactly at the time they promised. The job took less time than estimated and I got a call from the boss telling me they would send a new, reduced invoice. They unpacked with care, set everything up on the receiving end and were done before you knew it! I tipped both of the movers and gladly paid the invoice. Would definitely recommend this great mover!" ????? Dianna R. Local Moving "Movers were awesome, responsive, professional and ideal to work with. They made a hard move look easy! So very pleased with them, I can't wait to use them again. :)" ????? Coleen L. Furniture Moving & Heavy Lifting "I requested a moving project from Budget Hauling this week David Weider and son arrived at the time that we set for their arrival. They are great. They assessed the project and proceeded to move the items exactly as wished. Very efficient and professional. I will recommend them and I am sure use their services again."

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
All Chico movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.

Whether you are just starting to plan for your move, or you are dreaming about packing boxes in your sleep, we are here to help. We have loads of advice from professional movers to make your move as smooth as possible.
If you have ever tried to guess how many boxes it takes to pack up your entire home, you are not alone. Most people discover they need far more than they expected, usually somewhere in the range of 60 to 100 boxes, plus tape, bubble wrap, markers, and a handful of other essentials. Once everything
If you’re putting your stuff in storage while you’re moving or renovating, knowing how to store furniture in a storage unit is a must. Even your sturdiest pieces can be vulnerable to things like moisture and pests — store them incorrectly, and you could end up with a moldy mattress or a warped table. Whether

If you’ve been wondering how to downsize your home, you’re not alone.

And even for those who aren’t retiring, a smaller home can simplify life
If you’re among the 25% of Americans who own at least 100 books, you know how challenging it can be to decide how to pack books for moving. Your beloved volumes are vulnerable to moisture, and even a small collection can become surprisingly heavy. In general, the best way to pack books is to load
If you’ve ever moved out of a home or apartment, you probably know how stressful cleaning can be when you’re already surrounded by boxes and deadlines.
