San Rafael Mover Reviews
Bobby and his team were 100% awesome. QUICK and CAREFULLY moved me in under 2 hours
Great customer service, helpful staff!
Great team to unload my big UHaul truck that was stuffed from one end to the other! They were on time, fast and efficient unpacking it...took care not to break a thing. Well Done. I highly recommend them!
Having moved 16 times (we are not gypsies), I can truthfully say Alfa Movers were the best we've had. Ben and his team are professional, efficient, and careful. We would highly recommend them for your next move.
Outstanding job! If you are lucky, Jordan and Dorian will help with your move. Hardworking, very fast but careful, positive can-do attitude, and a sense of humor! Who could ask for more? Great at organizing my chaos and coming up with ideas to make it all run smoothly. One of the best moving day experiences I have ever had. They are the best!!
Juan and Pablo were excellent! We would ask for them again.
The guys were prompt and on time. They were courteous and worked quickly to load the truck. When they finished we left for the location. About an hour away in prime time traffic. They still managed to beat me in and were unloading already. The gentleman were top notch! And always pleasant. I recommend them to anybody. They were pros!
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 :)
Joseph and the crew were amazing. They were professional and so polite. They made our move a joy. I highly recommend them as a qualified crew.
Very.Hard workers pleasant very careful !and professional. Thank you Annette friscia
I had a really tough job. It was a 2800 sq foot home with large furniture, a mirrored buffet, and 40-50 boxes. It was a ton of stuff. They came at 9am and packed all the boxes, wrapped all the furniture, and everything got to my new home without a scratch. These guys worked late, and were always moving. They worked very hard. The window was 8am-10am, got there at 9am and were just moving till very late. Did not break or scratch a thing, they are very professional. I would use them for my next move! 5 stars, I was very pleased. It is worth the extra few bucks if you have nice stuff!!!
Good
Can I please say the 2 guys that came were the sweetest, polite and warm people I have met in a while. They were early and were waiting for me which is a blessing in my case anyway. They 100% took care with my belongings as they removed from my storage and loaded properly in the truck. I am extremely HAPPY with the entire experience and I ENCOURAGE STRONGLY that you hire them for ANY job you may have because you will be more than happy you did trust me.

A great way to move — just point to where you want stuff. ?? My team was Percell and Carlos. They arrived on time and ready to go. Extremely courteous and helpful. They saved me so much time and effort, now I just have to figure out where to put everything. ?? I would definitely hire them again.
Great team to unload my big UHaul truck that was stuffed from one end to the other! They were on time, fast and efficient unpacking it...took care not to break a thing. Well Done. I highly recommend them!
Both Alex and Bob were a pleasure to deal with. They were on time, thoroughly engaged with the move, and very respectful of my property. They did a complete room by room walk through with me. When I was unsure and wanted to move items they enthusiastically responded to any of my requests. Besides the great unpack of my pod Alex reassembled my Ikea bed! I highly them for your move.
So happy I chose MovingZoom to load my PODS and so glad I got a 16 footer! They stacked it so tight, like tetris that I would have probably had to rent another PODS if I had went with anyone else.
Bob and Austin were on time, friendly, hardworking and careful with my belongings. I would highly recommend these workers and their company, which accommodated my schedule when my container was delivered later than expected.
Outstanding job! If you are lucky, Jordan and Dorian will help with your move. Hardworking, very fast but careful, positive can-do attitude, and a sense of humor! Who could ask for more? Great at organizing my chaos and coming up with ideas to make it all run smoothly. One of the best moving day experiences I have ever had. They are the best!!
The proload team were great to work with for our move! They had to navigate three flights of stairs from our San Francisco Edwardian into a Pods shipping container, and did an amazing job of carefully wrapping and moving our furnishings with the upmost respect, politeness, and packing talent! They ensured that everything was loaded securely and carefully. Great experience!
I want to say this was the most amazing moving experience I have ever had! Carlos and the 2 guys that were with him oh were so awesome. I will be recommending them and their manager Noah who called my constantly to make sure things were good. I will be using them again in a few weeks. Fantastic men and very hard working! Thank you again guys you deserve a raise!!
Having moved 16 times (we are not gypsies), I can truthfully say Alfa Movers were the best we've had. Ben and his team are professional, efficient, and careful. We would highly recommend them for your next move.
Bob and Purcell were on time, friendly, skilled and really good at making our pack out a success. His solid communication & pack plan made this a great experience!
The movers were super efficient and communicative in transporting all of my belongings from my home to a POD storage bin within the 2 hour time frame that I hired them for. I highly recommend their service.
My movers were great!! They navigated my apartment easily and had everything done in less than an hour and a half. They also put my bed together which was greatly appreciated!!
