The movers came early and worked very hard. They got the job done within the two hour time frame so I didn’t have to pay any additional money.

If I could give them 10 stars out of 5 I would. Carlis and Purcell were outstanding. They took such good care of our stuff and followed my instructions to a tee. They were on time, worked hard, problem solved some interesting circumstances. I would like to use them for every move and I have had a lot movers in my day, particularly in the last 2 years. As an Army Brat who moved every 2 years (sometimes more often), I know great movers when I see them!!!!

Bob &Jay were excellent. On time, pleasant to deal with and conscientious. We finished in record time. I would thoroughly recommend them & Hire a Helper

— Nigel C.

Movers | MovingZoom

The duo who did my move were a real blessing. I was stressed because my building forgot about my move and didn’t wrap the elevator, or have it on independent mode. These guys were communicative, calling me first before their arrival and were also exactly on time. These guys were super careful, as well as fast and efficient. They had the POD loaded in 1.5 hours. In the past, I used a different company that took 6 hours to unload basically the same stuff. They also loaded everything carefully and strapped it down professionally so there would be no shifting. Also, I can’t emphasize this enough but these 2 movers have a very calm demeanor that really helped quiet all the anxiety about my move. Their attitude was relaxed, confident, and exactly what kept me from stress spiraling. I cannot recommend them enough. I’d give them 6/5 if I could.

— Louise H.

????? Movers of Sacramento — Unstoppable Team ?????? Moving to Chico this season ?? felt like a dream, and Alex and his assistant made it possible. Their endurance, strength, and nonstop work ethic were unreal. They wrapped my Italian furniture ??????? and 30-year-old artwork ?? with precision, packed the storage unit flawlessly ??, and powered through a long SF-to-Yuba City move without slowing down once. If you want true professionals who treat your belongings like their own, ask for Alex at Movers of Sacramento. These guys are the real deal. ???
