How awesome a team and what wonderful service. I had the pleasure of having Manny and Trey help me with my move from Stockton to Sacramento. Booking my move was no problem at all. I sent out a moving request on Yelp and received a message promptly regarding price and availability. After getting the necessary information, I went ahead with booking. A couple of days before the move, I saw rain in the forecast and reached out to see if things would still move forward. Rain or shine, everything still went on as planned. Manny and Trey arrived on time and got to work ASAP. They loaded everything on the truck at the two requested locations and headed to Sacramento. Once we got to Sacramento, they started unloading everything. The move was to the 3rd floor of an apartment building with no elevator and down the hall from the stairs. Though it was a tough move, Manny and Trey were both patient, kind, and efficient. They even cracked a few jokes, and we shared some laughs. It began to rain at the end of the move, and they still continued with a positive attitude. I am so grateful for their hard work, amazing service, and dedication to helping me get moved in. They got the job done in under 3 hours through everything. I would 1000% book with Affordable Movers again. The service was great, the movers are hardworking, and it lived up to its reputation for being affordable, too. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your service. read more

These guys were great. James gave us a professional assessment before the move and provided an estimate that he actually stuck to. The crew was easygoing, efficient, and careful with our belongings. They handled a tough Sacramento-to-Los Angeles move in a single day and stayed within our budget, which we really appreciated. Overall, this was one of the best moving experiences I've had in a long time. A few items weren't handled exactly how I might have expected, but that's partly on me. I probably overpacked some boxes and assumed certain things would always stay on top. Nothing was seriously damaged or broken, and that's what matters most. I'd definitely recommend them and would use them again. read more

11/14/25 edit to add Affordable Movers called us to follow up which was greatly appreciated! Listened to our concerns and provided their help. I am thankful affordable movers was able to help my family move on Halloween afternoon! The men were nice and friendly and even offered to help move additional boxes after their booked time which was a huge help. They helped move all the big items such as TVs, tv console, peloton, fridges, washer, beds, kitchen table. I would like to provide suggestions for improvement. If you would like to book affordable movers please be aware that flexibility is key. They did arrive later than expected and had to call for updates, this was difficult because we had to pick up our keys at the time they arrived. Last pictures of how they set up our area read more

We hired James B. Moving to move my mom after 25 years of living in her small duplex. She has old, large furniture. Manny and Bruce took exceptional care when moving to ensure legs and glass did not sustain any damage. Packaged and wrapped all pieces. Couple things that weren't discussed ahead of time was the TV policy, the height of the truck and the credit card fees - but not a big deal in the end. Thanks James, Bruce and Manny for a professional and seamless move. James communicates efficiently via text and is super easy to deal with. read more

Affordable Movers - Huge entertainment center packaged to move. - Movers Near Me

We just finished moving out of our 3-bedroom home and I couldn't be happier with the movers we hired! From the very first phone call, they were professional, upfront, and affordable compared to other companies I called. On moving day, the crew showed up right on time, ready to work. They handled our big furniture, appliances, and boxes with care--nothing was scratched or damaged. They wrapped and protected everything, and they worked quickly but carefully, which made the whole process so much less stressful. What really stood out was how friendly and efficient the team was. They communicated well with each other and with us, always asking where we wanted things placed in the new house so we didn't have to rearrange later. For the price and service, this was hands-down the best moving experience we've had. If you're looking for affordable movers who are reliable and professional, I highly recommend them for your next move! read more

Two guys showed up with some dollies and a truck and moved everything a d were professional and fast.

... everything started out great. Two movers arrived, bright and early, to start the job. Truck loaded and off to the destination. Arrived at the destination and the driver tells me he's gotta complete the job... ALONE!!! One guy to unload the truck!!! Yep. That happened. I mean, n the end, mission accomplished... but justwow!!! read more

We used Affordable Movers today for a move from a first floor apartment to a second floor apartment (so labor only) and they were great!! The price was not only very reasonable, but James and Bryan busted their butts!! Thank you guys for your hard work - it didn't go unnoticed. read more

Really friendly and fun crew! They moved quickly, carefully, and wrapped everything! Would hire them again.

Second time I use Affordable Movers. Always fair prices, flexible, accommodating, and really make my moves easier to handle. Manny and James were so great and gentle with my belongings. Huge recommendation to go with this company. Thanks for everything read more

I've held off writing a review to give the business a chance to resolve an issue, which unfortunately appears will not be resolved. During the move a shelf was removed from a bookcase (not sure why), when I realized it was missing I reached out to the owner. He responded promptly, and when the shelf could not be located he offered to give me a replacement bookshelf. Then the offer became a shelf made from a piece of wood he happened to have. It's now been more than a month, and I have neither a shelf nor a replacement bookcase despite multiple attempts to contact the business. Overall, the move was fine. The movers arrived on time and went straight to work. Most items were carefully wrapped in blankets, and they took reasonable care. However, they did not put down anything to protect the floors (especially frustrating in the house we were moving to as we just had the carpets cleaned, which we told them about in advance). While prepping to move TVs, they removed cords and threw them in a bag and left the bag somewhere in our garage -- still yet to be located. There were a few items they refused to move: a tall plant, a large copper pot, a printer. They did not come prepared with wardrobe boxes, which meant all the clothes on hangers were put in to Hefty bags (which they tossed from the balcony to the truck downstairs). In total, the move took 7+ hours - probably could have been done in 6 had they been less chatty. It was a hot day, and I don't blame them for slowing down and needing a break. They took a lunch break between locations, which we were not charged for that time. I appreciate the effort to get our massive entertainment center up the stairs, but unfortunately the stairs were too narrow and wouldn't make it (we should have measured ahead of time). **Updated** The owner of the business had a new bookshelf and shelf for the original bookshelf delivered to my home last night. He followed up later to ensure all was delivered. The guys were friendly and efficient. I appreciate having the delivery at the end of their day (around 7:30pm). Thank you for making it right. read more

Professional movers with reasonable price. Movers were on time, professional and did a great job moving a heavy refrigerator for us.

James gave me one of the best quotes from Yelp for my move. Communicating with him via text was pretty easy. There were no hidden fees except for a mattress cover I did not ask for (especially since my mattress already had on it a waterproof cover for my son's overnight accidents lol), but that was just $12 so not a big deal. One thing James highly suggested was a TV box to move my 75 inch tv, otherwise insurance would not cover for damages if simply wrapped in blankets. I had a hard time getting a TV box last minute, so James graciously volunteered to have his crew stop by a UHAUL to pick up one for me. The first UHAUL they went to didn't have it in stock, so they made a 2nd stop to another UHAUL miles away to get it. At this point, I was nervous about the 1hr delayed start time because of the driving around town to get a TV box for me. James assured me that time would start when the truck arrived. Getting me the box was a huge favor, which I really appreciated the time and effort. A few cons were the smoke break the 2 movers took outside my house at the 1 hour mark, the extra 20 minutes it took them to travel to the new home during which they got gas and drinks, and the very minor damages and scuffs marks they left on my doorframe and wall. The job was finished in 4 hours 15 minutes, and they do bill to the fraction of the hour (which beats rounding up, at least). The major pros were the huge favor in going above and beyond too help me buy a TV box that would not have fit in my car, and they also volunteered to fix the broken IKEA couch frame that I didn't even know was broken underneath! Movers were friendly and efficient. I wasn't looking for everything to be wrapped and prioritized finishing as quickly as possible, so James' team struck the balance of affordability with quality movers to my satisfaction. Update: James reached out to me and offered to come touch up the scuffed walls (unnecessary - they are minor and nothing we can't fix) and graciously refunded me for the breaktimes which he said should not be charged. Stellar customer service. I appreciate the follow through and was not expecting that! read more

They are truly affordable with great quality of service! On time and quick. Moved and mounted my 85 inch TV exactly how I wanted it.

James responded quickly with a quote. We had to move my daughter's apartment to storage for the summer. The rate James gave us was very reasonable. Manny and (Esteban?) were very courteous, professional and efficient. They were friendly and made us very comfortable with the whole process. Both employees had nothing but the best things to say about their employer and the way they worked showed that they were happy working with James - which says a lot, it totally showed in their efforts. I will be calling them in the fall when we take stuff out of storage to her new apartment. Highly recommend! read more

This review is overdue, but I had a medical emergency. If you need movers,l would recommend Affordable Movers from Sacramento for sure. I knew the fours hours estimated was likely not enough time. I texted and said I think it's gonna be twice that, but the response was "we are there until the end as long as you need," which was very kind and reassuring. And the guys really did stay a long time considering it was 9.5 hours. An hour was taken off for their lunch. I got them donuts in the morning and round table pizza for lunch. They did take a combined lunch break of an hour, but never sat down for an hour. They took longer to get from the old house to the new house than I did, and that's perfectly OK, as they needed and deserved a break. The moving crew was absolutely fantastic. The crew took incredible care of our stuff and our walls at the old house and the new. When they first arrived, they saw it was going to be a long one and contacted the boss to send reinforcements who showed up halfway through the day after the morning job they had been doing bringing a second truck + two more men. So we had a total of five in the crew, two trucks, making three loads all for just $1851. I had already prepared envelopes for the first three in the crew when they arrived with $150 each as a tip. I didn't know they were having reinforcements come when they showed up so luckily, I had $100 cash in my wallet that I split between the two of them at the end of the night, so in all it cost about $2500 and they were worth every penny. I would call this company anytime and be happy to see any of the 5 in the crew. I have heard some nightmare stories about movers and I have zero complaints. read more

The guys were right on time and got everything moved carefully and efficiently. Their service made this a seamless move for us and they made us laugh along the way! read more

great guys. movers were nice and friendly. they efficiently moved what we needed with 3 hours

These guys are wonderful long distance movers. Polite, kind, hardworking and funny. They packed that box truck within an inch of its life. I was beyond STRESSED when they arrived, and the first thing they asked me was if I had eaten breakfast and had some water (haha!!) The boss James is very quick and clear in his communications. They provided a great price and value for their services. Will use them again in the future. Thank you so much Manny and Joaquin!!! read more

We've hired James's crew twice this year and both times they have taken such great care of us. They're very professional, efficient, and helpful. Both of our moves have been within midtown Sacramento which adds its own set of challenges and they've handled it like champs! James's prices are very fair and his team does a great job trying to make they're in and out of there as soon as possible. Can't speak highly enough of this team! read more

James moved me from Rocklin to Goleta. He and his crew were wonderful, everything made it. Nothing was broken or dirty due to his meticulous care in wrapping everything. If your moving I cannot say enough about Jamesbmoving company! He's trustworthy and showed up exactly when he said he would! Call him if you are moving! read more

James followed up with me and asked how he could make it right. There were some items left behind that they did not have room for in the truck and they came back and picked those up free of charge. They also offered to repair the damage to the furniture but we deferred on that to do it ourselves. I still think we overpaid so I can't give 5 stars but it turns out one of the crew was his first day on the job so there was probably a learning curve in there that took longer than usual. I will give them the benefit of a doubt and chalk it up to an off day with a new hire and perhaps because we had a lot of large furniture it was a challenge fitting it all in the truck. read more

James' crew were incredible! We moved from Northern California up to Washington and Affordable Movers made the process a breeze- an affordable one at that. We packed all of our items and the crew wrapped all of our furniture. They picked up at 10:50am. Finished by 12:50pm. Then delivered our stuff at 10am the following morning. Not to mention they charged almost half of the other quotes I received. The crew were very fast, efficient, and respectful. I don't think we have any broken items, no dings on our walls. Pretty incredible! read more

Movers where in time and moved my heavy items. The crew took time to wrap and protect my valuables. I would recommend again read more

I used Affordable Movers to move my furniture into a Pod while flooring was being replaced. They also did the move back into the house. This was truly one of the best decisions I made during our remodel. They were so professional, on time, super careful with all my furniture and the whole move out process took only about an hour! I was so happy I went with them. The price was very reasonable and I didn't have to do anything except point to what was going. Every piece was wrapped and arranged in the Pod logically so that the move in process was just as organized. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future. It was the best money spent and stress-free. read more

I needed a fast response to my move request and they provided. Manny was incredible. I managed to hurt myself during packing and he completely took care of me, making sure I was settled in before they finished work. They were fast, affordable and careful. Nothing got damaged, everything was placed where it needed to be. They were fantastic! read more

The team thay sent to us was outstanding. Curteous, professional, and thorough. This was foe just moving some furniture from the ground floor to the 1st. And I was amazed that they wrapped it all carefully! read more

Arrived earlier, worked hard, professional, fast, flexible, 5 stars Thank You Very Much! read more

I just had Affordable Movers move my 9 Bedroom Home in Eldorado Hills. Not an easy move. I've heard nothing but great things about this Company. And after getting quotes from four other companies James give the best price. I also had them box everything. I own expensive items and very picky about my property. After talking to the owner James and planning this move I went ahead and used his company. They showed up on time and with the size of his crew and two Trucks they had the house wrapped , boxed and loaded in one day . The unloading at new place went just as smooth. Nothing lost or broken, it was a long day but well worth the price I paid, they also received a big bonus and a late dinner. I will use and recommend this Company again in future. A definite five star experience. read more

It was a smooth move! Movers were fast and efficient with no issues. They took very good care of everything (wrapping furniture, etc) I would recommend them to anybody. GREAT COMPANY!! read more

Responded to my quote request within an hour. Gave me the lowest flat rate among all that responded. Showed up sharp at my house in Rancho Cordova at 5am sharp. We were all moved in by 8pm in our new place in Ontario. All items arrived with no damage. 5 Stars for James and his crew! read more

I had a last minute move from my apartment. My friend recommended James B to me - said they were quick and reliable for a great price. She was absolutely correct. I reached out on Friday. James was quick to respond to my text and was able to get me on the books for Sunday. An earlier time slot became available and James offered it to me. The guys showed up at 10am and got to work right away. They moved everything quickly and unloaded even quicker. This was my first time using movers I was very stressed but they made it easy for me. Thank you so much. read more

Had great experience with first move so decided to hire again, but based off second experience I can't recommend. Movers were very nice but one was injured and walked slowly with a limp so to avoid being charged for an extra hour I started helping unload. I don't fault the guy but when you're paying by the hour this is a problem. I explicitly explained that i needed to move a lot of outdoor stuff and potted plants - this was in clearly communicated in writing over the yelp app. When the movers arrived I showed them the pots that needed to go and they didn't say anything. Once the truck was mostly loaded they let me know that potted plants were not insured and there was a good chance they'd break - this should have been communicated much earlier. ******** Updated with an extra star. James reached out and, after some back and forth, eventually apologized for not being transparent regarding the potted plants. He refunded me $120 or roughly 5% of my total move fees not including tip. I should also clarify that none of my potted plants were damaged in the move - the team was very careful. read more

This company helped me today and I highly recommend them. Great about communication and timing, friendly and helpful.

Moving from CA to MT: This was an unplanned move with less than 5 days notice. James Blackburn was really flexible when we needed more time to pack boxes to have placed onto upcoming truck. Worker/Drivers, Manny and Treyvon, were VERY helpful, fast, efficient, and knowledgeable about moving objects onto truck and safely securing them. One had an emergency & needed to fly home but a visiting friend quickly stepped up to help ($100 pd). With so many leaving CA due to silly wokeness, corruption, politiks, and upended family values, consider this decent company that doesn't sacrifice on safety nor value. PS I used my homeowner's insurance to completely cover the value of what's being moved AND what's being stored! God bless you and your company, James; it was a pleasureable experience. ThanQ so much... read more

Very punctual and speedy! They got back to me with a quote in about 10 minutes and were able to come within a few hours. Will definitely use them in the future! read more

James was great and got back to us very quickly about our move with a quote that was similar if not slightly better than many other moving companies on Yelp. He clearly explained what they would cover and the fee structure was really transparent which I appreciate. His crew showed up on time and worked diligently within the allotted time to move our items out of our apartment and into our new home. They were kind, funny and helpful. Only reason for the 4 stars instead of the 5 stars is that many of items that we did not specifically put into packing boxes ended up damaged. e.g. bookshelves, desk and side tables with scratches and some paint/wood peeling, cushions/cloth baskets that got stained etc. At the end of the day, I guess outside of some high-end moving companies, I guess you can expect some damage with a move but we do just wish they were a bit more careful when moving some items so as to limit these kinds of damages. All in all though, they were a relatively affordable option for a quick move within Sacramento and seem like a nice team to boot. read more

Movers arrived 30 mins late with no communication, called the office and was told they should be on the way and should have contacted me. When they arrived they said they were given the wrong number by the office so when they tried to call me they didn't reach me. 1 of the 2 movers started complaining right away and continued to complain the entire day. Right away complained about the amount of stuff being moved, said I had a lot of stuff when I said I had moved from a 2 bedroom apartment to a storage unit and complained about the boxes being heavy and saying things like he's going to quit, that i'm one of those jobs that they get once a year that makes them hate moving, and that I'm out of my mind if I think they're going to move some of the heavy boxes upstairs. The other mover stayed professional the entire time and assured me they would move the boxes upstairs. Move took longer than I expected, everything was packed and moved into a storage locker 2 miles away from the new house by a different company but it took just over 6 hours. I understand I have a lot of heavy books and that the previous movers probably did not pack them in the best way, but I don't expect hear complaining the entire time when I've hired a company to move my stuff. read more

Made a long move from Sac area to Humboldt County and these movers were absolutely awesome with a fair price to boot! Communication by text and phone with James was easy and he is very responsive. They loaded at a storage unit, 5 am, and delivered/unloaded at my new home that same afternoon. Hard working and super efficent, Jetta and Bean were great to work with. Everything arrived in fine shape, nothing broken or damaged. The guys wrapped my furniture with blankets and oversized saran wrap nicely protected for the long drive. I would definitely hire this company again, highly recommend them! read more
