San Rafael Mover Reviews

Efficient and timely

Way above my expectations!

The movers were very professional and very friendly, knowledgeable and on time!

I had Alfa moving just help me. I am in Napa. They arrived on time, had a huge truck. It was raining that day bad, they brought all kinds of wrapping to wrap everything with, and brought mats for the houses floors we were in moving stuff. Seriously professional and they exceeded my expectations. Were super fast, I booked three hours but we're done in 2, all loaded and unloaded in two. They moved a three piece sectional couch three heavy dressers. Was worth every penny and were fast and helpful. Absolutely will use again when I move.

Angel and Matt , You guys were Awesome!! You were Timely, Efficient, Prepared, and Respectful. You will be my go to for my next move and will highly recommend. Thank you, with appreciation.

Juan and Pablo were excellent! We would ask for them again.

Pyramid Movers is an EXCELLENT choice for a move. They were quick, courteous, professional and they treated my daughter's belongings with the utmost care. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!!

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

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.

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!!

Angel and Matt , You guys were Awesome!! You were Timely, Efficient, Prepared, and Respectful. You will be my go to for my next move and will highly recommend. Thank you, with appreciation.

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!

Vlad and Akay from A2B Movers were fabulous! They were on time, organized, careful, efficient, and dealt easily with a rolling rack whose wheel broke off. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Bob and Austin did a fantastic job! Super professional, kind, and efficient. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone with a move, big or small. Shout out to them for making this the easiest part of moving!

Three exemplary young men who did a wonderful job. They were kind, courteous, and professional. I would absolutely use this service again. Really great experience.

Pyramid Movers is an EXCELLENT choice for a move. They were quick, courteous, professional and they treated my daughter's belongings with the utmost care. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!!

These movers did a great job helping me move out of a storage unit. They were friendly, efficient, worked hard, and gave me good advice as to the best way to load the storage pod my items were moved into. I recommend them very highly and will use them again the next time I need moving assistance.

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.

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.

Carlos and DeShaun were great. On time, efficient, courteous, and communicative. They made swift work of things, and without any complaints, despite that my HOA made me put my moving pod at the other end of the complex.
