Tiki Pavillion
Maia D.

This amazing moving company made my dreams come true!!! Last minute. Good ol Craigslist amateur hour movers failed me SEVERAL times. Coz. Humans. Last ditch effort. I called Budget Hauling. And honestly. Best thing I did! She immediately sent Eric and Steve to Sacramento for pick up of this huge Tiki/Pavillion and drive it to stockton so fast! They worked so diligently. So efficient. I told them both.. if they served in the army with me. I would probably stay longer. Their Can-Do attitude was everything I live for. You can't train that kind of thing. Anyway I got them chicfila because I was just so impressed. Thank you again this piece of furniture takes me home to my home country . With so many ppl I've lost this year and I can't buy a ticket... this is a consolation for me.

Broken glass in China cabinet

Her constant communication is not true. I had to send things to every phone number they had to get someone to contact me. They did refund me $520 a fraction of what was broken and missing at least three boxes that I know. Things that they couldn't have missed like a stepladder that's 4 1/2 feet tall and a vase with sticks in it that was over 5 feet tall. Unfortunately, the boxes that are missing one of which had my hearing aids in it, I'm out thousands of dollars for those along with other items. Shame on me for not purchasing the insurance, but I was assured that they are very, very careful and everything would be wrapped in boxed and it wasn't!

My wife and I went through Budget Hauling for a move from Sacramento to Nevada. Kayla came to our house and provided us a quote, which included 6 movers and 2 trucks. On the day of the move, we had most of our house ready to go, and the team made quick work loading 2 trucks and we were out the door. They unpacked just as quick, but each box was color coordinated with what room it should go into. The movers did not seem to care about this and stacked boxes where ever they wanted. We also had a gym set up in our garage in the last house and I asked David to replicate that and set up the gym in the new house the same as before. The movers decided to spread our gym equipment not only all around the garage, but also inside the house. We had also purchased pizza and drinks for the crew. Some of the movers ate while unloading, dropping toppings and sauce inside the house and around the garage. As the movers were leaving, one of them ran back with a set of dumbbells that were left in the truck. They also left trash all over the garage and placed trash in boxes that had our personal items in them, not trash. One of our refrigerators was left with the handles off and we later found out it had been damaged (broken plug) in the move, so I wrote an email to David regarding these issues, as well as the newly found broken refrigerator. Seven days later and no response, I emailed David again and he replied with "Your concerns were discussed with the movers. Thank you for your email." I replied with "Got it, what about the broken refrigerator?" Nothing but crickets and I'm guessing we won't hear back from them. Overall, the crew made quick work, but our stuff isn't their stuff, and you can see that's exactly how they treated it. It's all about how quickly they can do the job, not how correctly they can do it. If you value your possessions, use another company. UPDATE! See the email from David. The handles for our refrigerator were on before the move and if they couldn't get put back on, that's the owner's fault or the mover that took them off? Also, your movers could've tested our refrigerator at any time! We were told by your wife to have our refrigerators unplugged, and turned off. Why wouldn't your movers just plug the fridge in to function test it? Instead, your movers broke our refrigerator and now you blame the customer. As you can see, what a fantastic business owner! Blame the customer, and then belittle them! Great professionalism. Take your money elsewhere! ANOTHER UPDATE: David emailed me back and was trying to talk to my wife, not knowing my email was for me...not my wife. He just continues to show how great of a business owner he is, now he's belittling women, calling my wife a devil and liar. If you want your moving company to belittle you, your wife, AND break your stuff, hire this company immediately! Update on 6/26: David left the below comment which just shows his true colors. It's the same exact reply he had to my wife's complaint. Zero sincerity, only lies and blame pushing. Let's not apologize for belittling and berating my wife, don't apologize for the broken refrigerator, just push lies like the self-absorbed sociopath you are. There are zero exaggerations in this review. I'm thankful that we found his insurance information tonight. Karma will get companies like this who rip people off, please do your homework before hiring this misogynistic company. Funny, they're "woman-owned", but the email from David only spewed hate against women, and it's terrible to see this occurring in 2024.

The ghost mover with boxes that weren't ours (in case they try this on you)

The problem began after the move. We were initially told that 4 movers would show. 3 actually showed up (Joe, Steven, and another newer person). Someone at Budget Hauling lied to HireAHelper after the job was done saying that a fourth person had shown up (it is unclear who is in on this fraud at Budget Hauling and/or Hire A Helper). They over charged us hundreds of dollars for this ghost fourth person, and claimed that the person was in the truck and unloading at our UPack site and we just hadn't seen him. Because they never actually sent a fourth person, the move took much longer. My husband and I were on both sides throughout and we were introduced to all the movers and were with them the entire time. This is a blatant lie. Then, they sent photos to HireAHelper to "prove" there were four movers. Two pictures were real and had the 3 movers who were there. The other was a fake picture with a fourth guy we never saw in a truck that wasn't ours with boxes that weren't ours labeled eggs. They had wiped the location data off the picture. We have documentation showing that Budget Hauling would adjust the number of movers from 4 to 3 because only 3 people showed up the day of. Hire A Helper has not useful. They claimed to call Budget Hauling and they seemed to be able to immediately respond with the fake picture. However, it's now been 3 days and they haven't responded to the clear documentation we shared. We've rejected all of their charges, and are waiting for them to charge us the true amount. We have two little kids, and this is the last thing you want to deal with when moving across the country. Save your self the headache. DO NOT USE BUDGET HAULING LLC. It is hard to say who is in on this, but this level of dishonesty is disgusting.

This is where it was

I needed a very large and heavy swim spa moved off of my porch and onto a concrete slab. Many companies said they wouldn't or couldn't move it and my only option was a crane. But Budget Hauling seemed very confident they could do it! And they did!!! The team they sent was great, super friendly and definitely put in the work to move the swim spa safely and put it where it needed to go. Eli, Dave, Robert, Jacob, Hayden, and Marcus did a fantastic job! Thank you guys for getting this done for me!

Tetris Masters Moving - After

Tetris Masters Moving

First I'll start by saying I'd absolutely recommend Tetris. I'm a realtor and have clients leaving…read morethe state all the time, or doing smaller moves within our local area. After my personal experience with this company, I'd feel confident recommending them to my clients, friends, and family. And not because things went perfectly. Scheduling the move with Nicole was easy and their prices are fantastic. (If you think movers are expensive, consider the work and time they are saving you!! It is truly a bargain and these guys work their butts off.) However the day of the move due to some miscommunication on both sides (mine and theirs), things went a little sideways. Our move was important, I'm sure everyone's is, but ours was even more important than we would normally feel a move is, due to the fact our daughter is having surgery tomorrow morning and we really needed to be settled. It just wasn't possible to plan more ahead for the situation. When everything goes well and a company does a great job, that's always nice. But when things don't go perfectly and a company has to respond, the way they respond is very telling. Tetris dropped everything to make our move happen, sent us a crew of 3 (one more than originally booked) who all worked hard for long hours on a Sunday, and by the way they handled it all, it was obvious things typically go smoothly for them because they were so organized and able to pivot the way they did. I would use them again and we are super appreciative of their service. Thank you Nicole!!

I will join the list of 5 star reviews for Nicole and her team. The moving experience was super…read moresmooth. Moving day is never easy, and while the prospect of a move makes things hectic no matter what, the Tetris crew will not add to your anxiety or stress! Moe and the guys are experienced, organized, patient and worked so hard. I am so grateful for their help in my move. Definitely recommend!

Sacramento Movers - Moving truck packed efficiently

Sacramento Movers

Downtown

We recently used this company for our move, and overall, our experience was excellent. From start…read moreto finish, the crew was professional, hardworking, and incredibly careful with our belongings. Every piece of furniture was meticulously wrapped and protected, and they treated both our old and new home with respect. They were friendly, personable, and worked efficiently all day. We had just installed brand new carpet in our new home, so we mentioned that to the head mover before they arrived. We weren't sure how shoe covers would work since the crew would constantly be going back and forth between the truck and the house. He reassured us that he would figure something out once they got there. When they arrived, he came up with a great solution: two movers stayed outside unloading from the truck while two movers remained inside the house receiving and placing everything. The two movers inside even asked if we preferred they wear shoe covers or simply remove their shoes and work in their socks. We told them socks were perfectly fine. I really appreciated that they asked instead of assuming, and I thought the coordination between the crew was genuinely impressive. It showed they were willing to adapt and find a solution that protected our new floors. What also stood out to me were the little things they didn't have to do. At one point, they saw me struggling to open our wardrobe boxes after they had been unloaded. Without me even asking, they came over, cut them open, and helped open them for me. It may seem like a small gesture, but it showed they genuinely cared about making the move easier for us. Those kinds of thoughtful acts don't go unnoticed. The only reason I'm mentioning the following is because I think it's constructive feedback. At the end of the move, the head mover (who seemed to be the supervisor) asked how I wanted to pay the tip--cash, Zelle, or another method. I was a little confused because earlier in the day we had already given the crew $200 and told them to use it for lunch. When I mentioned that, he explained that the $200 was for lunch, then showed me examples of what other customers had tipped. He also shared that most customers tip at least $800, or about $200 per mover. I completely understand that tips are an important part of their income, and I genuinely felt this crew deserved to be rewarded for the outstanding job they did. We ended up tipping the crew very generously because we truly appreciated their hard work. Afterward, the head mover was sincerely appreciative and thanked us, explaining how much they rely on tips and how much it helps them. I appreciated his gratitude. However, discussing specific tip amounts and comparing them to what other customers give made me feel pressured and put on the spot. Everyone's financial situation and budget are different. Some customers may be able to give more, while others may not, and that's okay. A tip is ultimately optional and should be appreciated regardless of the amount. I believe it's best to let customers decide what they feel is an appropriate gratuity without comparisons or suggested amounts. Aside from that one interaction, the service itself was outstanding. I would absolutely recommend this company and would use them again in the future.

I used this moving company for my 4 bedroom one story home and I moved 15 minutes away (8 miles).

He even tried to upcharge me for the 4th mover but luckily I saved the quote that Alex gave me. Well it took 11.5 hours (not including their lunch break) with 4 movers and they still didn't move everything. We just had to stop the time because it was getting so late. 3 of the guys were nice and they did most of the work, but Eric was a bit pushy and was always on his phone or going on a break. They took too many breaks (lasting 15-20 min each) and their lunch break was 2 hours. So they were off to a slow start in the morning. I really did not like that Eric tried to convince me to go to Home Depot to buy more moving boxes because they didn't have enough. As a moving company, you should have enough boxes. They were careful with my stuff, wrapping everything very carefully, but they were slow. They didn't clean anything up after they were done, left their cans, bottles, runner paper throughout the house. All in all, they were okay. Just really slow. This job should not have taken 11.5 hours

Everyone that I had spoken with up to this point made me feel like they eere trying to squeeze as many people in as they could and for a high price. Now don't get me wrong....I totally get that you have a business to make money. But I just felt like another number and that made me question whether or not they would treat my belongings with care. However, the minute I spoke to Rachel on the phone with SC Movers, I knew that was the company that I wanted to go with! She was genuine and personable and answered all of my questions. They were also very fairly priced! Fast forward to moving day, Shawn and Cain were a few minutes early which we appreciated. They took a few moments to find out exactly what we needed and quickly accomplished it. My roommate and I were both impressed with how professional, friendly, and efficient they were. AND - they took great care of our stuff!!! So fast forward a few days. We were struggling with getting the rest of our belongings out before the final move-out date. Not that we were slacking - we just have too much stuff. Lol I called Rachel again (and, of course, she was as nice as she was the first time) and asked if there was any chance that the guys could come out in the next day or two to help again. They accommodated us the next day and did a fantastic job. So thank you, SC Movers!!! Highly recommend and will definitely use again if there's any need in the future!

These guys are honestly the best. They made everything feel so easy.
