    I was recommended this company by my mom and aunt. They had great experiences and I was happy to try them out. Roman and his crew were absolutely amazing! They were early, efficient, and very patient and understanding. They made sure everything was packed with care and when they unloaded all of our stuff they made sure it was exact where we wanted it. I was very stressed about moving, but they made sure it was a good experience. Definitely recommend!

  • Mateo Etcheveste

    The guys arrived on time and were professional. We needed just to unload our truck and they charged for gas, that was a little bit weirded, but overall the experience was very smooth. Highly recommend

    Dmitrii Parii, ***** *****, and their teams provided exceptional service for our 2 bedroom full service local move in ******. To be *****, I was weary of being baited by the *** algorithm and how it handles a company called Best California Movers. One might also be lead to believe they have a suspicious amount of positive reviews. And Im relieved to say I would wager they actually deserve the name. Quoting and Booking:***** *****, with follow up from his colleagues ***** and ********, made it easy to get a quote, have all my questions answered, and finally sign to book with confidence. I had several rounds of questions from initial contact to agreement review and they gave quick and detailed information, such as the cost of materials and boxes, liability for any building damage, and estimation of how long the job would take. Other companies I requested quotes for recommended 2 or 3 crew, but ***** recommended 4 off rip for a speedier move and it turned out to be a great fit for our 2 bedroom local move. The Move: Dmitrii Parii and his team did a remarkable job. Although we moved from a 2BR apartment, we actually have quite a lot of stuff from previously moving from a 3 story house. Weve hired other movers before and Dmitriis team moved the same amount in roughly half the time, and that included disassembly and reassembly of some of our key furniture such as our bed and two standing desks with mounted monitors. His team arrived within the estimated time, worked efficiently even though I offered them snacks and to take a lunch break, and handled all of our belongings carefully. He also came prepared with many tools for disassembly and reassembly. To be honest, I expected this job to take 9-10 hours based on our previous movers and they did it in 7. I also had a fair amount of questions for Dmitrii, including with regard to the final invoice, and he was a great sport about answering all of them.

    Manu and his team did such an amazing job helping us move. The movers did an incredible job helping us move all of our belongings from storage into our home. They were professional, friendly, hardworking, and very careful with all of our things. They even went above and beyond by helping us assemble our bed and put our furniture together, which made the whole moving process so much easier and less stressful. Everything was handled with care, and we truly appreciate all their hard work. We couldn’t be happier with their service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers! Thank you again for making our move so smooth!

  • Марина Аракелян

    Artur and his team did an excellent job. They arrived on time, treated my belongings with great care, answered all my questions professionally, and always worked with a smile. Special thanks to Artur for his professionalism.

  • Gerry S.

    Sam and max came early on time extremely efficient. Wrapped everything very carefully double checked everything with me. I used them before to move from Long Beach to Valley Village and I used them again to move from Valley Village to Hacienda Heights. Excellent service if I can give 10 stars, I'll give 10 stars very kind very gracious. I'm very appreciative. good price very affordable.

  • Adrienne Wilson

    Artemis and Dennis arrived promptly (and actually asked my permission if I was available earlier than our pre-scheduled time- I happened to be) They walked through first and asked my preferences first. They moved everything (two heavy reclining sofas, bunk beds, coffee table, futon, and other miscellaneous items) efficiently, safely, from my storage unit to my new, quaint apartment. They assembled the bunk beds. And took the quoted time (worked very fast AND it was hot AND the elevator closest to my storage unit was broken so longer walk out for them) Thank you guys! Definitely recommend!

  • Latasha B.

  • Renee Fulbright

    We have moved 5 times in the past 6 years and this one by far was the easiest and smoothest because of Nigel and his crew! They were on time, worked fast and nothing broke during transport. Also, best prices around. Highly recommend this team for your next move!!!!

  • julian portera 1 photo

    Wow, what can we say, we were amazed at how Roman C. and his crew helped us pack and move from our condo into our new home! We were really stressed out as we had so many things to pack and so little time , and they came in and saved the day! A team of 4, but really felt like 8 with how fast, efficient and careful they were. Not a single item was missed or damaged, truly exceptional! We knew we were in good hands as they were referred to us by our parents and aunt and uncle. Highly recommend for all your moving needs!

  • Lauren Glass

    I was shocked how kind and supportive they were with my move! Very delicate with my stuff, not overly rushed and very efficient. Super considerate about my important items and where I ultimately wanted everything to go. Will be saving their contact for any future moves. Highly, highly recommending to my friends and family! Nigel and Sula were the best

  • Norman Z.

Frequently Asked Questions

A smoother move starts with clarity. These answers cover the details, next steps, and common questions that help make move day feel more prepared.

01 How much does it cost to hire movers in California?

The cost depends on several factors, such as the size of your move, the distance, whether you need packing services, and any special handling requirements. Local moves within the same city typically start at $400, while long-distance moves across California or out of state can range anywhere from $3,000–$10,000+.

We provide detailed, transparent estimates upfront and walk you through what could move the number. Contact us by phone, online, or on-site to build a custom move plan and get an estimate.

02 Do you offer packing services, or do I need to pack myself?

We offer both full-service and partial packing options. If you want us to handle everything, our crew will bring all the supplies and pack your entire home. If you prefer to pack some belongings yourself and leave the rest to us, such as fragile dishes or bulky furniture, we’re happy to accommodate that approach. If you prefer to pack every box on your own, that option is available as well.

Packing services are optional and priced separately, so you only pay for what you need.

03 How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season (May through September). That said, we handle last-minute moves whenever possible—sometimes within just a few days if we have availability.

The sooner you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with scheduling your preferred moving date.

04 Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Your belongings are covered under basic valuation protection at no additional cost, which provides $0.60 per pound per item. Full value additional insurance is also available for the entire move or specific items only, as well as property insurance.

05 Do you move items like pianos, safes, or antiques?

Yes, as a part of a move. We specialize in moving heavy, oversized, and high-value items that require extra care and expertise. Our crews use professional equipment—furniture dollies, straps, ramps, and protective padding—to move pianos, safes, antiques, and other specialty items safely. Please make sure to notify your Moving Consultant about Special Handling Items you need to be moved, so the appropriate crew and tools are sent.

06 What areas do you serve?

We operate out of three offices across California: North Hollywood (serving LA County and nearby counties – Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside), Poway (serving San Diego County and adjacent parts of Orange and Riverside Counties), and Santa Clara (serving the Bay Area and its wider surroundings – San Mateo, Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa). We handle local moves, as well as long-distance moves across California and to other states.

If you’re unsure if we cover your area, call us, and we’ll let you know.

07 What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover). We also offer flexible financing plans for customers who prefer to spread payments over time. Ask about financing options during your consultation.
