San Francisco Mover Reviews
Efficient, took into consideration my concerns. Appeared to be packed well.
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!
Great guys - Joseph and Milan. Very polite and efficient.
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.
Burdis and Marcus were awesome!! On time, fast, friendly & strong. I highly recommend them!
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 movers arrived on time and were very fast while taking great care of the furniture. They had all equipment needed and were even able to sell me rachet straps to secure the furniture in the storage container. I could not have been happier with the service provided.
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!!
service was great. The crew was careful with our belongings, did things fast and helped us solve issues with our furniture when it didn't fit through the entrance.
Lawrence and Mr. Pettis are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They know how to pack a pod. They work quickly to maximize usage of the container like Tetris masters. We appreciate their work today very much and hope to work with them again.
Kevin and his crew did such an amazing job with moving everything, they were fast and efficient. I would recommend them and will be happy to contact them for services in the future, thanks again!
I had 5 Star help me move my three bedroom two bath home in Mountain View last week. It was a little bit chaotic for me so having them there was really helpful. They worked really hard and were able to stack my furniture so it fit in the space that we were designated in the truck. Totally worth the money spent
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
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!
The team showed up promptly, were friendly, helpful and unloaded quickly. They also organized my belongings neatly, better than I would have done and in much faster time. I have managed many material and dock handlers in my career and wish I had had them on my team. Highly recommend them as they did an outstanding job and made my life easier during my very stressful cross state move.
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!
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 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.
