Great job!

They movers were extremely professional and competent. They were able to pack our entire house into three U-pack cubes (we should have ordered four). They helped break down beds, cover furniture in sheets, and even brought their own moving supplies when we ran out. I would highly, highly recommend them.

Kevin and Sergio were great - on time, very friendly and capable. They worked hard and fast but also took care with furnishings and carrying items up my new slate stairs and porch. I would definitely use them again. Thanks!

Yes to all of the questions above (on time, even a little bit early), prepared, careful with personal property. Arturo and Eduardo worked hard and finished in 1.5 hours. One unexpected additional cost was for plastic wrapping material (optional, but recommended) to augment the blankets we provided. Otherwise, all as advertised, and I would use them again.

This is our second time hiring Pablo and his team for moving services, and we are just as satisfied today as we were the first time. They were on time, worked efficiently, brought even more supplies than they promised, and took good care of our possessions. We will be hiring them for all of our future Bay Area moves, and we would recommend them to anyone fortunate enough to be in their service area.

Moving Zoom was awesome! They stayed until the job was done! They are a wizard with packing PODS super efficiently. I thought I would need two PODS and they fit all of my stuff into one!! They also are pros at taking apart Ikea furniture and making sure none of the hardware disappears. I'd recommend them to anybody! Such a pleasure on what could habe been a very stressful day. THANK YOU MovingZoom!

Our two moving labor helpers were excellent. It was the smoothest move we’ve had for sure. They were professional and efficient. Would recommend to anyone.

They were right on time and ready and willing to set to work to help us move our furniture to an upstairs bedroom (to clear the downstairs for remodeling). When our desk would not fit through the door, they were willing to remove the door to accommodate our desires, but we found a better solution by moving the piece to the garage. While this entailed a difficult turn-around in the middle of the stairs, they were calm and gracious in adapting to the change of plan. We really appreciate their professionalism, courtesy, and strength. We could never achieve our goal without this help!

Very professional and helpful. The owner, Pat, went out of his way trying to help us load our ABF as fast as we could despite some obstacles we faced, and helped maximize the space in our trailer! Great job. Will definitely recommend!

They did a good job considering how complicated the job was. However, there are a couple of boxes which I have yet to locate either in my apt. or in the pod. They were on time and worked hard. I would use them again.

The movers were great! I ended up arriving with my truck much later than anticipated, but they were flexible and agreed to meet us at a later time after I arrived. Once I called to let them know I was there they arrived promptly, a few minutes later. My truck was also much fuller than anticipated, and I had a lot of heavy boxes and three flights of stairs, so I'd say they worked pretty hard. I hired two movers for two hours, and they got it done in two hours but my boyfriend was helping, too. I would use them again but if you think you might have a lot to move, be safe and go with 3 movers for 2 hours, or 2 movers for 3 hours or something of the sort. Either way they prorate if you don't use up all the time!

This is indeed an aptly named company. Their work stood in start contrast to terrible (and ultimately abortive) service I received from Student Movers. I contacted Lucas with 5-Star about 12 hours before my PODS container was to be delivered. Lucas and Freeman showed up on-time and dominated the job. They carefully and cheerfully unloaded a 16-foot PODS container in approximately 75 minutes. They also rearranged items after loading them into the apartment and assembled our very heavy king bed. Lucas and Freeman were professional and courteous. In addition, my wife indicated that they were hot. Absolutely recommended.
