Excellent communication through a couple of unexpected schedule changes, showed up exactly on time, well prepared to do the unloading, worked hard, very careful of our stuff and even asked when they were all done if there was anything that they could move to another location and I did have them move one thing before they departed. I would definitely use them again!

We recently sold a home in Sacramento and bought one in Rio Vista. We were lucky enough to connect with this company and the two particular movers who assisted us on both moves. The first one was random on 8/17/23. We were so happy with the two people who showed up to help us that we personally requested them for our next move on 11/25/23. Professional, hard working, positive attitude, meticulous care with our furnishings despite a pitfall with a POD that’s door was jammed shut. Kudos to those two hard working, problem solving and upbeat guys. We can’t thank them enough. They deserve a raise!

However, make sure that you hire them for the minimum hours and then add hourly rate. I hired them for six hours and they were finished in two hours. According to the contract I could not be refunded the overage ($500). I was told by one of the movers that I would be refunded the overage. This was a lot of money to fork over for a discrepancy with the transaction.

Tony and Robert were beyond awesome. Someone needs to give these men a raise and then another raise and then maybe they will be earning close to what they deserve. Very friendly and professional and good grief...hard working. I cannot recommend them enough.
