I will never pick a different moving company ever! This is it! They are THE best. read more

Highly recommend!! We needed urgent help packing and moving my mother with 3 days notice. I don't live locally and coordinated everything for her with the help of A Better Moving Company. They arrived on time, packed up her small home, and moved her same day. The moving crew was kind and patient with the situation and for that we are very grateful. THANK YOU!! read more

We called A Better Moving Company as a possible source to help move my mother in law within her retirement community as she now required a greater degree of care. Tony and Kurt were friendly and kind to us and to my mother in law. They moved efficiently and coordinated with our requests in both moving her belongings to her new residence as well as taking her extra furniture and items to our home a short distance away. The whole company from Steve at the office to Tony and Kurt during the move was professional, friendly and informative. I recommend using their services anyone! read more

Will and Will, did a great job packing and moving. They did it in less time then expected. Highly recommend A Better moving company. They run an honest business read more

Where do I start ? I have used this company three separate times in in the last four months in a move of a multi-family estate to new homes and storage locations. I was very pleased when I made my first call to be accommodated at the last minute during peak moving season. Pricing was competitive, equipment/trucks and such were clean and in great shape. The Office made good phone calls of confirmation and they always answer the phone, which is rare nowadays. The real jewels of this company, though, are the employees. When you think moving company staff you might think "sketchy". Not this one ! Their staff is high quality. My first time using this team they sent three Bills - no joke, Will, William and Billy. I need to say that Will the Crew Leader is professional and such a hard worker. They all are great communicators, speak great English and loved our joking and fun. We loved having their humor and work ethic so much we requested both Will and William the second time we hired them, and then we were even more pleased at how the carefully packed but loaded in and out in the screaming hot record heat. We were so happy to get them as our third time crew and feel so completely comfortable with them in our home, and they respectfully handled our stuff with respect and care. They didn't complain and hustled the entire full day. Will as a leader called prior to arriving, communicated well in the day and was professional in his paperwork and attention to detail. Honestly, there was nothing negative. NOTHING ! This is not a paid-for ad. I am thankful for the hard work and I strongly recommend them as classy, hard-working and reasonably priced movers. THANK YOU ! read more

A Better Moving - My "two Bills" Will and William were wonderful ! Will to the right is the crew leader and driver and he is a pro behind the wheel. - Movers Near Me - Carmichael, California

Amazing guys. Will and Will moved us out of a rental house to another house and got things moved so fast and efficiently. No wasted time, super friendly, funny, and honest dudes. Cannot recommend any other company to help move, these guys are pros! read more

A Better Moving - Will and Will doing what they do best. - Movers Near Me - Carmichael, California

I have had the pleasure of working with A Better Moving on three different occasions over the past five years. One project was a shorter one-day move and the others were two-day moves from Sacramento to the Bay Area. Everyone I have worked with has been attentive, polite, cheerful, hard-working and motivated to do a good job. A big shout out to Will, Will, Billy, Curt and Jacob! They actually make the moving-day process a fun one. They were spot-on with the initial proposals, knew exactly what size trucks were needed for each project, packed every piece to perfection and we never had any damaged items. I highly recommend A Better Moving for any move either in or out of the Sacramento area. read more

We had THE BEST move with A Better Moving!!! Thank you to Jeff, who came out to give us a quote. He was prompt, professional, thorough and very knowledgeable. Thank you to Steven, in the office, for helping with organizing, scheduling and rescheduling, due to bad weather. And a HUGE thank you to Will, Will and Zach! They gave us a courtesy call to let us know they were 10-15 minutes out, arrived on time, prepared with everything we might need including clothing wardrobes, heavy plastic wrap, ramps, floor covering, etc. They were professional, considerate and respectful of us and all of our belongings. When our big items didn't fit in the front door, they found creative solutions to successfully and carefully bring those items into our home OVER the fence and through the back door. They all came with positive, can-do attitudes and A LOT of MUSCLE!!! And they actually came in under budget!! Thanks for doing the heavy lifting, guys! We could not have done this without you!! See you next year!! read more

A Better Moving - Movers Near Me - Carmichael, California

Had a great experience with Will Lott and the crew. Very quick and efficient with our move across town. Highly recommend this company.Price was very affordable and easy to manage. read more

I contacted this company in Fair Oaks because a client of mine referred them. My 90 year mom had been living in an independent living apartment in Citrus Heights (The Crest) that decided to shut down the kitchen and take away the housekeeping and security. Since mom only had a microwave, we moved her in less than 30 days so she wouldn't have to figure out to eat. She had also had the apartment treated for the last 30 days for bedbugs (which appears to be an issue here). When I contacted A Better Moving Company, I informed them that the treated room was not being moved. We only needed a couple of loveseats, a chair a few tables and a small hutch moved a couple of miles. The gentleman I talked to said fine. When the movers got there, they went to see the scope of the work and I showed them the living room. When they headed back to the bedroom, I told them that the bedroom furniture was not going as precaution even though no bedbugs had been seen nor had mom been bitten for about a week. They left the apartment and before they returned, the owner, Steve, called and said that they were not going to move my mom and it would be best for her to wait another week (already waited 4 weeks of treatment) or walk away from everything she owned, even though it was clear of any contamination.. They left her high and dry because one of the movers literally lied and told the owner that he had seen bedbugs. If this was an issue when I originally called and explained the situation, I should have been told at that time that they would not move my mom. Fortunately, my assistant was able to rent a U-Haul, a dolly and some blankets for the afternoon while I made a frantic call to my husband and son-in-law. I headed to U-Haul got the truck and had her moved that day. Mom has been settled for a month now and there is no trace of bedbugs, Steve! They had no concern for leaving a 90 year woman on the streets, if she didn't have family to jump in. Do not trust this company to do right by you. Mary Philippsen Citrus Heights, CA read more

A Better Moving (Jeff, Tony and Zach) were outstanding when they recently moved our home furnishings and belongings. They carefully and expediently loaded, transported and unloaded pretty much everything we owned in our 2000 sq ft home. The rate was very fair. All done in about 5 hours from start to finish. Highly recommend A Better Moving. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better moving and packing experience. No issues with ANY item. Tackled a difficult (at best) room. Stuck to the estimate and delivered on time, and in time. No complaints from anyone , and unbelievably kind besides. read more

I had an emergency move. A Better Moving company answered immediately.Two incredible employees were dispatched within 3 days. Respectful, intelligent, kind and so helpful. I called them back to finish a job 4 days later. You can't go wrong with this company ...I will use them again. Ask for Will and Will. read more

I was very happy that they could accommodate my schedule and had good communication. The movers arrived at the destination on time, but had moved some things not on the list and did not bring others. Luckily we will be going back to the original place and can straighten it out so not fatal. The only real downside was having to pay for boxes that were not in the original estimate and were only used in transport and then were given back before the movers left so it seems like that should have been a lesser charge, but I would give them 4.5 if that was allowed. read more

I called A Better Moving to remove two rooms of antique furniture from my Mother's home. Arranging the moving date was very easy. Jeff and his helper arrived on time, and quickly removed the furniture. It was all carefully packed, and was delivered in perfect condition! Very easy to work with, great employees, and a perfect result! Thanks... read more

Moving is challenging..but if you want to make it harder than it has to be these are your guys. You WILL be paying them and more $ the next day to get the stuff they didn't want to move and have to do it yourself. Paid a lot of money to move about 6 miles. A few of the workers were good, a few had attitudes and one was lazy. I don't think they like working past 4pm ..as moving day went on we had similar experiences to other reviews..they did not place boxes in the areas they were instructed to...things were just thrown in the garage. A few workers literally started throwing things into the trucks and appeared annoyed to be working. At the end of the move we were presented with a large bill and all of the workers (some earned it, most did not) surround you waiting for their tips. It was awkward and inappropriate. It's unacceptable to pay for movers and the next day you go to clean the home you moved out of to find they DID NOT get all of the items out of the house. We had to spend more money to rent a truck and spent 6 hours moving stuff ourselves. For us, this was a disaster and I would not recommend them to anyone. We used this company as it was a referral from our real estate agent. I do not want to move again..but if I had to I would not go on a referral from a real estate agent as they are just working with moving companies to keep each other in business. Learn from our mistake, we have :) read more

My 94 year old mother needed to move from one senior apartment to another senior apartment on very short notice due to some health issues. The team from A Better Moving Company did a fantastic job handling the entire move. Every step from initial communication, planning, execution, attention to detail, service, value & overall results were terrific! read more

We had only a few miles to move but what a relief to work with such a professional company. We had called other companies who never returned our calls. Their loss. Movers Jeff and Hamid were courteous, confident and knowledgable. They wrapped, boxed and hauled our stuff efficiently. Reminded me how good it was to be young with strong backs. They offloaded same to our total satisfaction. No hidden costs or surprises. They made moving, which can be trying and stressful, smooth and worry free. Kudos to the them for reflecting so well on the company. These lads are rock stars. I would strongly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use them again. read more

Don with A Better Moving showed up on time with masks and gloves and ready to go to move a tenant out of her Public Storage lockers. Bright, quick and personable, Don was a pleasure. We have a major Construction Remodel here and Don didn't skip a beat handling the extra obstacle --the front door was almost completely blocked and there were extension cords & painters on ladders. Great attitude as he carefully maneuvered and moved fragile items. What a pro! Thanks A Better Moving. Thanks Don. read more

I have moved 6 times in my life and have never had such an incredible experience. A Better Moving helped us move in San Francisco and it truly was a painless, excellent experience. The movers were on time, polite, and most important, efficient. Having this professionalism made us feel comfortable and proved to be an incredibly easy process. Could not recommend a better a company. 5 stars! read more

Thank you Nina T. for the recommendation!! I was not disappointed! So the hubcap is offered an amazing career opportunity in Fresno, CA. Which means we needed a moving company to move us from Sacramento to Fresno. I called several companies and chose A Better Moving Company because of the excellent recommendation and the customer service I received right off the bat. Alex helped with my with initial contact. He was very professional and articulate (after you call around and realize you've got some crack heads on the other line you appreciate this!). After I described what I was moving he gave me a quote over the phone. We then scheduled a walk through to ensure that the quote was accurate. My appointment for the walk through was at noon the following day. Jeff and Jeremy were there two minutes before our appointment and before I got there! I really appreciated that they valued my time (I was on my lunch break and had to get back to work asap) and were there when they said they would be! I pointed out the various items that I would be taking with me. It impressed me that they took notes! I also gave them the heads up that I'll be partying it up the night before so I may be hung over and asked what was the latest they could move me. They were very accommodating! They said they'd be there at 9am. I was scared they would try and move me at 6am. Thank god they didn't! I was hurting the next day! I asked them what I needed to do and they said nothing. I pretty much have everything together and to not worry about a thing. AWESOME! Just what I wanted to hear! The day of the move: they were on time! And they brought a third man to load the truck as quickly as possible. They literally moved all my stuff in less than 2 hours. I'm talking about a 1700 square foot home..4bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths!! Did I lift a finger? NO!! They even took apart the beds and put the mattress protectors over them! I maybe pointed at some things, but other than that I didn't do anything. I couldn't anyways. I hurt! They were so fast I told them to slow down. I wasn't ready to move! After they loaded the truck we did a walk through of the house to ensure that they had everything in the truck and they were on their way. Fresno is a 3 hour drive and they said that they'd get there in 4 hours because of the weight stations and maybe grab some lunch. I get to Fresno and they're literally 15 minutes behind me! I didn't even get a chance to walk through the property because they were just so efficient. Did I have to help unload the truck? NO. Did my husband help at all? NO! They even put up our beds for us and took off the mattress protectors! They even unloaded the truck in less than 2 hours! And that's with just 2 people! The third guy left after loading the truck in Sacramento! AND they put the furniture where I wanted it!!! I hate having to move, but this moving company took all the stress away from the moving process. No furniture was damaged at all, they made sure everything was where I wanted it, and were just so kind and professional! I would definitely recommend this moving company to anyone in the Sacramento area looking to move within Sacramento and outside of it!!! As far as price: we paid $2,000 for this service. It was a 10 hour job mind you! You get what you pay for! If you love your furniture and your belongings and want a stress free experience, go with A Better Moving Company! You won't be disappointed! read more

See all

Great customer service, highly recommended! Needed a custom size box and they did a great job.

Totally false information written by Ingrid who I have never heard of or from. She is most likely being paid to dispute our information. We have no reason to lie. All you have to do is read other people's reviews written before ours. Her verbiage is almost word for word what Steve says to us in all emails. Again total scam artists and very good ones at that. Update as of 3/1/16 The owner of this company contacted Yelp to have my last review deleted. So that I am following Yelp guidelines I was told I could only update my review. So this company has attempted to buy our silence by offering us money to remove our bad reviews. There is no amount of money that would make me remove my honest and truthful review about this company. DO NOT USE A BETTER MOVING & STORAGE THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF AND THEN BLAME YOU FOR THE COSTS. read more

I couldn't be more pleased with my moving experience that A Better Moving provided. Starting with Danny who coordinated everything for move, his email responses were prompt...and when I needed to make changes/additions to the original plan, he was more than accommodating and made sure everything was seamless. The movers, Jeff and Chris, were the very definition of professionals. They were on time, quick, courteous, and patient (having my three year old grandson with me could have tried their patience, but they moved around him without missing a step). Pricing was more than fair for everything they did for me...even assembled a heavy metal bed I'd just purchased that required assembly...Chris assembled while Jeff continued to unload, thereby not adding additional time to the overall move. Their equipment, including the truck, was spotless and well maintained...their ingenuity was amazing in how they utilized materials for all of the move. My enthusiasm stems from the "Move from Hell" I experienced three years ago when the movers showed up in a beat up truck, no moving supplies...I spent well over an additional $100 when I had to run to Lowe's to buy moving boxes, paper and plastic wrap because this company (who was contracted to pack my belongings as well as move them) didn't have even the basic materials for packing and moving...including no dolly. If I should need to move again in the future...God forbid...I will definitely use A Better Moving & Storage. read more

This company totally rocks! From the time I first contacted them and spoke with Steve, until the last of my belongings was moved, they did an outstanding job. Jeff was the crew chief and he was terrific. He personally packaged and moved my Baby Grand piano and treated her with kid gloves. The other members of the crew were both named Will, and I never did figure out which was Will #1 and Will #2... not that it mattered because they were both excellent. This company moved me 21 years ago and I knew I wanted to use them again this time. The employees and staff are polite, professional, caring, personable, and know their craft well. I highly recommend them regardless of the distance you're moving. Thanks "A Better Moving Company" ... you rocked it again! read more

I wanted to give a shout of excellence in moving assistance with A Better Moving Company!! They arrived on time, took great care of our all our furniture and boxes and were VERY KIND AND CONSIDERATE! I would recommend them to anyone. THE BEST PART of this experience was our team of movers Don and Don Jr.!!!!! They just made the move so smooth and comfortable. We are so happy they were there for us, Bernard and Pam read more

Let's just say they are the best. They are honest and over delivered on everything. They were recommended by my realtor after I was scammed by another company who never even showed up. I guess that's quite common in CA. Just saw it on the news a little too late. Anyway I had to be out of my house and move cross country in two days. Steve, the owner, helped me get my mind straight and came up with many doable options. I ended up getting a 26 foot Uhaul and he sent his dream team to help load it on a days notice. I had a 5 bedroom house and figured I would get 2 bedrooms at most in the truck. The dream team showed up at 11 and were done by 3. I figured 8 hours minimum so I was shocked when they finished that quickly. Don, Don and the other guy were the movers. They filled the Uhaul like a Tetris puzzle. Every inch was packed to the ceiling. Thankfully, I was able to keep the important stuff and a lot more because of how they packed it. They tied it off with rope a few times to protect my valuables. I had so many breakable items from lamps to picture frames and they made sure it was all packed in securely. I figured I would lose something to damage moving 2100 miles but I looked when we arrived and everything was intact. I moved it into a storage facility twice the size of my Uhaul and it barely fit. That's how tight they packed me. These movers are incredible! Their speed was amazing. it was almost like they were running. They never took a break and were friendly and funny the entire time. I offered them pizza and drinks for lunch and they refused. They said they didn't have time to eat because they were going to watch the UFC fights later. Don had 120 hours in...in two weeks. He came in on his day off to help me because Steve told him I was in a bind. My experience was absolutely the best and I highly recommend this company. Steve will set you up and if you get the "Don and Don" crew they will wow you! My neighbors watched from afar and they were shocked at how quickly they finished too. The only thing they couldn't do was crack my safe! Inside joke. Thanks guys all of you were exceptional and I cannot express my gratitude enough for what you did. Hats off great job! Steve give them a raise! read more

We hired a Better Moving Company to move us from our condo to our new home, about 15 miles away. We scheduled our appointment about a month out, and they contacted us twice to confirm the appointment. The team showed up right on time and got right to work. Fast, friendly, efficient team that knows all of the ins, outs, and secrets to moving large items in narrow stairways and hallways. They did a great job and had us completely moved in just over 5 hours. We would definitely use them again for a move. read more

A Better Moving - Unloading our stuff into our new home! Very careful and respectful movers. Thanks! - Movers Near Me - Carmichael, California

This place I highly recommend! Competent people, staff, and straight to the point of loading up and unloading! We had used them for eight hours and they did an amazing job! Worth every cent!!! read more

Stay away from this company. They gave me a written estimate for $1100.00 for my move but once they had my stuff in storage, they demanded another $1100.00 to move it to my new place. Then they told me in no uncertain terms, they expected a couple hundred dollars in tips. If I hadn't been in the middle of a divorce, I would have taken them to court. If you do roll the dice with them, make sure you have rock solid contract with a "do not exceed clause", etc. You are going to need it later on. read more

Usually, I try to rough it and move on my own with a few unfortunate friends or family members to assist me. Not this time. I went to A Better Moving and have never had such a good experience. They moved me from essentially a storage unit to my new place. They were friendly, on time, and very efficient. They worked fast and had all my furniture moved, set up, and ready for use in just a couple hours. Such a great experience! I will never move on my own again! Thank you again, A Better Moving! read more

July 10, 2018 A big thank you to A Better Moving & Storage Company! We moved our office and thanks to Danny, Kyle, Tony, Jacob 1 and Jacob 2 everything went smoothly! The guys were polite, respectful and were eager to help with our furniture situating issues. Unfortunately, one of the desks wouldn't fit in the elevator so they took it up 5 flights of stairs to our new office (we moved from the 3rd floor to the 8th floor of the same building). Thank you A Better Moving and Storage for making our move as easy as possible! I highly recommend this company. Karie McKinnon CHEAC read more

Whatever you do, hire a different company. I've moved 6 times in ten years. This was the only horrible experience I've had. Like many of the authentic reviews here, they quoted a price then when the day came they were late, didn't have the manpower quoted, slower than molasses, broke furniture apart and packed the cushions in boxes. We were moving 3 blocks. A single day move magically turned into 2 and the price doubled. I told them contract over at the end of day one. They admonished me not to open the boxes. Guess what? They packed pillows, cushions, my son's soccer uniform and his school backpack! Absurd. I had instructed furniture only. I had the same exact furnishings moved in one day 4 times for half of what they were going to ultimately charge. So I hired another company I had used before to finish. No second day. Let me tell you they did not like that I held them accountable. The next morning I told them I had called the cell phone they gave me & the owner at the end of one day to say no extension of the contract. I'm a single mom with my young son and my elderly mother. Fortunately a delivery man showed up the next morning when this company showed up even though I told them not to. He was being verbally aggressive trying to intimidate me. Later they sent a big guy to come bang on my door. My son was terrified. This happened years ago. I was terrified to even write this review but many years have passed. I've heard from others that have all had similar experiences. I have no idea why they are still in business. read more

A Better Moving did a great job. I would use them again. They were careful with our items which were all fairly expensive and difficult to move. I'd recommend them. Two of the crew members said they love what they do and I really respect people who take pride in their work! Hard to find that these days. Feedback: they definitely should have brought a 3rd crew member to begin with as I had informed them we had few boxes but many large, heavy objects which would've made the job go faster. We also had 4 locations to go to so these guys were troopers. Only took a 45 min lunch and worked for over 10 hours. They later brought Jacob in (3rd guy) and things moved a lot faster. read more

From the first phone call with Steve until the end of the day, the entire moving process went very well. Don and Zach arrived on time, were very kind and respectful to me and my belongings, and worked so efficiently. I am very thankful to have had their help and definitely recommend their moving services! Thanks again, Don and Zach! read more

I am so upset by this company's unfair and manipulative business practices. Everything started out fine, with Steve being very flexible on my mother's move dates, etc. But then they came to pack her, and didn't use any blankets or protection for her furniture. They also refused to pack a rug in the rafters because "it was too much work." They took her furniture to their storage for a few days. Before I could remove the items from storage (I was using a new, awesome mover at this point!), I had to sign a waiver of liability. Of course, her furniture was heavily damaged. And they are now disavowing any responsibility. I just don't understand all of the good reviews--I had nothing but difficulty! It's been an awful experience. I would NEVER recommend using this company. read more

I used these guys in my first attempt at paying movers, as opposed to recruiting friends. This was well worth the money. They were one time, worked hard, were courteous, and got everything they could possibly do, completed within the scheduled time. I got a truck through UHaul, which I wish had been bigger so it presented challenges with not having a ramp, and needing multiple trips. The men who showed took that part in stride, and managed that heavy lifting like it wasn't even an issue. I'll never move my own stuff again. Hire these guys, you'll be glad you did. read more

I used to be in the moving business and when it came time for me and my family to relocate from Sacramento to Bakersfield, I had pretty high standards, as you can imagine. A Better Moving both met and exceeded those standards. From Steve (Scheduler) to the four man crew: Kyle (the Veteran), Mike, Alex, and Jacob (Cookie Monster), we had nothing but positive experiences. They were prompt, professional, and proficient at their jobs. This made a stressful time in our lives much easier and we are very appreciative. We highly recommend them for any moving needs. read more

We've moved 8 times in the past 7 years and we've used these guys to move once before several years ago and they were pretty good. This time we had a totally different experience. First off, they gave us an estimate for two trucks and a bunch of guys to move, but they didn't even fill one truck. Also, most of the guys were good workers, but a couple of them were pretty lame (taking a whole trip to carry one little thing out of the truck). So, I don't really feel like we got good value for the amount we paid. Second, they left a bunch of small miscellaneous stuff that we told them needed to get moved at the old house and they also made a big mess, leaving garbage behind for us to clean up. When we got to our new home, they acted super lame again, like they didn't know what they were doing. For example, our refrigerator is oversized and wouldn't fit through the security door on its own. So their solution was to irreparably break the door out of its frame so they could fit the fridge in! We had to tell them that that was a horrible idea and that they should just take the doors off the fridge instead... They also put boxes and furniture all willy-nilly and we had to go through and carry a bunch of the stuff to the right floors and rooms ourselves afterward. To top it all off, they managed to break more than a few pieces of furniture including a really old antique piece that we had moved dozens of times without breaking before this. I don't know how they can really call themselves a "better" anything in good conscience. The only reason they didn't get 1 star was because besides the above mentioned issues they did a decent job, but I would never recommend them to anyone or use them again. UPDATE: They did pay to have the antique fixed, but like I have said, we've had that thing for YEARS and have moved it many times and have managed not to break it every time (except this one). I appreciate their efforts to make things right, but I still don't think I would use this company again. read more

A Better Moving Co. Packed and moved my home for a very competitive price. When my new home was a day late to move into, they stored my stuff on the truck, and the next day they delivered. My escrow closed late in the day, and the crew off-loaded in the dark of night. All our stuff was delivered by 8:30 pm. I appreciate and recommend A Better Movers! They did an exceptional job moving my home. SC read more
