    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!!!!

  • Bridget Brianna

    My movers were Kevin and Luke. Friendly, professional, and did a great job with my move. Additionally, when I set up the move, the person I spoke to on the phone provided clear guidance on what to expect. I would recommend them for your next move!

  • Dana S.

    These guys had an absolute first class job, they were very tidy, took care of all of our unique items that were very fragile and made a point to make sure that we didn't over lift anything. We love these guys! Roman and his team were the best!!!

  • 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

  • Asia P.

    Sam and Serg were amazing and wrapped all of my furniture and moved everything quickly. I would definitely recommend and have Best California move me again. They also took an electronic box for me so I would not have to take it myself to the recycling place.

  • Sarah H.

    Roman, Fedor, and Alex were fantastic! They worked quickly and efficiently, carefully packing, wrapping, and protecting all of our furniture and belongings. They handled everything with great care, and I couldn't have asked for a better moving crew. I also really appreciated how flexible and accommodating the company was when I had to reschedule my move several times due to my house falling out of escrow more than once. Their understanding and professionalism made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend both this crew and the company!

  • Abai P

  • Arjuna C

    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.

  • Christine Servida Chavarria

    Tole and the three other gentlemen who moved our home were so efficient, had great communication, upfront about fees and worked so hard with no minute wasted. It was worth every penny we paid for the move. Would use california mover again in a heartbeat!

  • Corinne Currier

    Nigel and his crew were amazing!! They arrived on time, were very efficient, friendly and organized. They did a great job of packing up our stuff and moving some very large and heavy furniture. Once we got to the new house they did a great job of setting up our furniture exactly where we wanted it and not a single thing was broken or damaged. Prior to our move, Best California Movers was in communication with us about what to expect and even sent out someone to take inventory so that they could provide a cost estimate. Their pricing is extremely fair and there are no hidden fees. I’m so glad we decided to go with Best California movers and will definitely be using them again in the future.

  • Jenna Holmes

    I had the best moving experience with Tole and Stephan! They were efficient and hardworking.

  • Lauren W.

    We moved from CA to NV. Can't say enough great things about this company. From quote to move in, everything was seamless, quick responses to my questions, they arrived when they said they would and got everything delivered early the next day when they said they would. They gave us the best quote for the move, the perfect size moving truck and worked like machines. Would recommend them to anyone that's doing a big move.

  • Cherilyn Pardee

    Manu, Denis, and Vladimir were amazing! I needed heavy oak furniture loved from my master bedroom to the garage and they were very fast and efficient. Got the job done much faster than I expected. They were also very professional. Would use Best CA Movers services again!

  • G H.

    I had a great experience with Best California Movers. The entire process was easy. Everyone is professional. No hidden cost. The price is also great. The movers are very careful with the items. They also were able to disassemble and assemble the furnitures without any issue. They also seemed very trustworthy. I also had to use their storage option and that was also a satisfactory experience. I have used their services 3 times now. I would definitely recommend them for moving.
