Burgess made our move easy! From the estimating process to the final move the service level was A+. The moving team was careful with our items and protected our home from damage as well. Burgess was flexible with storage and moving dates as we experienced delays. Highly recommend! read more

Burgess Moving Services made my move completely stress-free. From the first phone call, their team was professional, organized, and responsive. On moving day, Andy and Scott arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and handled every item with great care. The movers were friendly, respectful, and attentive to where I wanted everything placed. Their combination of speed, skill, and customer service is rare, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I would confidently recommend Burgess Moving to anyone looking for dependable, top-quality and friendly movers. read more

We used Burgess 27 years ago for our move into our Victorian house. They crated our very fragile items and were careful and courteous. Of course we contacted them again to make our downsize move. Once again we not disappointed. Our driver and his helper were great, careful and courteous. We highly recommend Burgess for your next move!!! James our sales rep was spot on for the estimate. You will get what you pay for in service and quality. read more

Worse movers I've hired. My boxes were labeled and they still left them all in wrong rooms.. The Bottom of my couches were damaged..They took apart my bed and then changed all of original hardware And replaced with whatever shitty screws they have damaged my bed! Definitely don't recommend! read more

This company moved in some tenants next door to my home. They blocked my entire driveway to my home. When asked them to move the van a little heavy set Hispanic man got into my face and started screaming at me "Are you done? Are you done? Are you ready to leave?" Not professional at all. All three men were wearing Burgess T shirts and one of them stated how they didn't even work for the company but they are helping their friend out. If I were you I'd stay away from using this company. read more

Burgess Moving Storage - Moving van blocking driveway - Movers Near Me - Riverside, California

I was only given one option for my job-sponsored move to Riverside, so had to go with Burgess. Honestly I was not impressed with this company. For one the communication was lacking. I was told the movers had another job to do before mine so they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon. Imagine my surprise when they showed up at 8am with 5 minutes warning. When I mentioned this to the head office the response was "most people don't complain when we are early", but this was several hours early and it was lucky anyone was even home to let them in. They also damaged several items - a marble table and a coffee table were completely trashed and several other items had minor damage. I get that things can break during moves, but the furniture that was trashed had not even been wrapped properly - my marble table top (which lifts off - no screws) hadn't even been boxed. When I brought it up with their office they suggested I replace the marble table with a faux marble veneer item worth half the price. Finally, I ended up moving again about a year after my first move. Due to COVID I had to arrange the move remotely on a short time frame and since I was at least familiar with Burgess I considered giving them another chance. They didn't bother to ask for an item list or photos before making the quote, which ended up being 2- to 3-times higher than the other reputable moving companies, including the one I used that managed to deliver all my items in one piece. read more

I used these folks to move from a 2500 sq. foot house + 250 sq foot storage unit. The crew was great and extremely helpful over the two days they were packing up the house. They handled our stuff with great care, and moved some things they were not taking (very fragile things) up to our garage so we could easily drive them ourselves. Out of state move, so North American Van Lines will pick up and load our stuff in their big trucks from Burgess' Riverside location. I would absolutely use them again. read more

Great service and reliable! We had bad experience with the previous mover when we moved from Northern California to Riverside 3 years ago and were very nervous, but Burgess made it less stressful for us. We just moved back to Northern California from Riverside. Rick and his crew showed up on time and got to work right away from loading and through delivery. I would recommend them anytime! read more

We have moved a few times in the last six years and this was my best experience yet! From the first phone call, to the initial appointment confirming how many Boxes and what was being moved ... to the confirmation call - then the move itself - this by far is the best moving company period. Truly professional, honest and really worked with us as our new house was still under major construction - they did everything possible to help us out. Putting extra plastic down where needed, even taking down a closet door to fit a dresser in my daughters room. They were amazing. Thank you to everyone that helped make our move run smoothly. I will refer them to everyone. read more

We used Burgess to move out of state. We ended up having an overflow of our items because they did not prepare properly after evaluating everything prior. They had North American Trucking pick up another households items first so there wasn't enough room for our items. Now it has been over 3 weeks and and we still have not received the rest of our items. Tom, from Burgess, sent me multiple emails that he can't do anything and has passed the responsibility on us to follow up directly with North American Trucking. Needless to say, we are very upset and will never refer this business. Hopefully the rest of our items will be returned to us before we have to take legal action. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS. RUN AWAY! read more

Burgess Moving did a fabulous job in relocating me from Riverside to Palm Desert- as well as a stop and drop at a Riverside storage facility! Rachel in the office, coordinated my move and held my hand every step of the way! She's the best! My movers were Kevin, Andy and Jesse and I was so impressed by their friendliness and patience with me and also their speed! They were so fast, and yet so very careful! I would never use another moving company other than Burgess! read more

UPDATE - And just like that we go from three stars to two. I am now doing the coordinating and phone calls now instead of my "move coordinator" who still can't figure out how to initiate an email but only respond with updates AFTER I initiate them. And after everything, my belongings will be delivered to me four days AFTER my delivery window - glad to see they are a company of their word! I realise they will write me off as a needy or demanding customer, but I don't find it to be rocket science to give updates, send receipts and paperwork in a timely manner without request, or be on time. Customer service gets you EVERYWHERE with me, and theirs has been seriously lacking. "Hey, weather is really bad, truck will be late" - no worries, I get it, tell the driver to be safe! But when it's crickets, you lose me, my patience, or my understanding. Especially when MY job is coordinating the moving of people and things. read more

Moving from 78209 to 92507 was very overwhelming. I've moved before, but this was a move that tools a team to Ferber from one state to the next. My POC was Rachel, she served as the voice between me, the employer and the relocator. I was a bit nervous considering the move was taking place rights around the 4th but of July. Nonetheless, pick up & delivery was made ahead of schedule. Once I made it to 92507, I had the chance to meet the team and visit Burgess. Once there, Rachel and I embraced in a bear hug as if we conquered a war-which we did. I was really impressed by the corporate office setting, it was neat, cleaned, organized, and the office staff was supper friendly. Everyone person I came in contact with was genuinely helpful. I would recommend Burgess as they stand by there motto..."family moving family". P.S. once on site the owner and Rachel gave me a list of to do once in 92507. Including daycare, where to , where to & places to visit. Call Burgess for your move. read more

What a wonderful experience. Both the packers and movers did a excellent job.. They helped us get through a stressful time.. They went beyond the call of duty to make our relocation as smooth as possible.. Thank you Burgess. We would highly recommend them.. read more

Eloy, Edgar helped me move last October from my apartment. I just would like to say they are very professional and got the job done very quickly. All of my things were taken with great care. I will be recommending and using them again for any future moves. read more

Excellent service. Prompt, pleasant and fair. Moved us from Claremont, CA to San Marcos, CA . Highly recommended

We hired this awesome moving company to Assist with moving my grandmother from Huntington Beach to Menifee. Our crew was Kevin,Tony and Martin. Super friendly and very efficient. My grandmother has lots of collectibles and good China and it all made it in tact. Thank you so much Tom for getting us taken care of so quickly. read more

Burgess did a great job with loading and transporting our household goods last week from storage in Moreno Valley to Loomis, CA - one of our best relocations and we had ten PCS moves in 26 years in the Air Force. All the Burgess staff we had contact with were real pros and on time - from John doing the estimate to Tom handling the paperwork to Eloy, our driver, and his crew loading and unloading. I'd hire them again, no question. gb read more

Fast, professional with fantastic customer service and very reasonable prices. I called 4 places before finding Burgess and they either couldn't do it with proper notice and/or process were very unreasonable for a one bedroom. Call and ask for Ed but they all are great along with the guys that do the "physical" work. Eloy and his partner showed great care when moving & loading. Freddie in the warehouse was so patient and helpful when we needed a few items out of storage. This place was almost too good to be true! FANTASTIC Customer Service! read more

My husband and I have never hired movers before so we were nervous. We interviewed three companies and went with Burgess, even though they weren't the lowest quote. A big thing to me was the vibe of the company and I felt good with the estimator they sent to us. The trucks pulled up promptly on moving day and 6 men piled out, walked the house with us and got busy! These guys were working hard! They were very friendly. Once we arrived at our new home, which was a 2 story as opposed to the original 1 story, we could tell that they were tiring out. They still worked hard, but near the end they began to slip a tad. Not all of the boxes made it to the correct spot in the house, instead several were left stacked in the garage. One gentleman was trying to assemble my son's bunkbed was tired and very noticeably frustrated. My complaints are really minor as they are human, we have a lot of junk, and it was a hot day. I would recommend Burgess to a friend and if we ever move again, which I hope not, we would certainly give them a call! read more

I have used several moving companies over the last few years and by far Burgess North American was hands the best company I have ever dealt with. Everyone involved were always on time and extremely honest and professional! All the way from the agent doing the quote, the packers and the movers! This of course was organized by Alyson Mattox, the Logistics Coordinator who was such an amazing professional to deal with. Alyson went out of her way to excel in customer service, she is one of a kind!! If all companies had employees like Alyson, their success would skyrocket!!! I personally want to thank Alyson for listening to all my concerns and tackling each and every one! You made this difficult move work out so well!! All our furniture and car arrived in perfect order and on time!!! I highly recommend this company and Alyson to any one considered a move! Thank you Burgess!!!! read more

I don't know where to begin. After 24 years of living in the same apartment we bought a house. Now what? So many stressful things to wade through. We got recommendations for a lot of things, but couldn't get a recommendation for a mover to save our lives. We tried D&D and they didn't return 2 emails and 2 phone calls. Then we tried United Vanlines, figuring a bigger company would be better. Their referral person called us at 7:15 in the morning to tell us he had car trouble and wouldn't be making our estimate appt. So in desperation I tried the next company with a good rating on Yelp and called Burgess. I wish I had got the person's name who I spoke to, because she was terrific. Said there was no reason to come to our place for an estimate, she could do it over the phone. No extra charge for the apartment being upstairs and an upfront estimate. Eloy and Joseph were our movers and they were like a shining ray of light after the hassle of getting everything ready to move. They went out of their way to make it as easy as possible on us even though they were having to make multiple trips up and down stairs with very heavy items and then walk them out to the parking lot. They were just a true blessing during what had become a difficult time. I wouldn't trust anyone else to move me if I ever had to do it again. read more

THIS COMPANY IS THE BEST! This is my story: As the previous reviewer, I called United because I used them for an interstate move and they had done a great job. I thought that I would try them again for my move here in the city. Unfortunately, THEY DROPPED THE BALL...BIG TIME. From being late for the estimate appointment, to over charging on the estimate to never returning emails. Poor customer service, United. Shame on you! I then deceided to try Burgess Moving. Thank God. From Rachel in Customer Service, to Ed in Management, and Mike, Joe and Victor in Moving....these people are tthe bomb. Rachel spoke with me first. She is polite, informative and very helpful.. She spoke with Ed and set me up an appointment for him to come out and give me an estimate. Ed was on time, a few minutes early, in fact. From the moment we started our tour through my moving nightmare, he was reassuring, confident in his company and workers, and professional. He spoke to me with kindness and cares about your situation and understands how upsetting it is to people in this stressful time. His calming nature leaves you feeling you have nothing to worry about......Which he told me many times after all my questions. Mike, Joe and Victor arrived right on time. I was quoted between 8:00 and 8:30. They arrived at 8:10, clean, professional and ready to work. My situation was a little different as I had to move 2/3 of our things into a storage unit and I am combining 3 households. I had asked the storage facility before hand if any size truck could come into the facility and was told yes. After loading all the things that were going in our house first and starting into the storage things, I called the facility to make sure the 45 foot semi could make it in. Well, I was informed wrong.... the truck won't fit...it's too big.....OMG....Mike called Ed and Ed got it all situated for me. We spoke and he reassured me its not a problem. He even came down and spoke to the manager at the facility to make sure my move went smoothly. I told you these guy are great! Onward HO,,,The guys got all my things in the truck, and believe me we have a lot of stuff without any damage to my house I was moving out of and/or my belongings. They are fast, efficient and wrap all your things to protect them. They go above and beyong the call of duty. Lunch time......We provided lunch...that was the least I could do. They dont expect it....but come on people....they are working their asses off doing one of the things we HATE to do.....it wasnt enough on my part. They didnt even take 1/2 and hour to eat and rest....back to work. Onto the storage unit....they had to shuttle my stuff (Ed set up a smaller truck and driver to come and help, I can't remember the drivers name..Lenny, I think.....but he was great too) into a truck and then to storage. Three loads later.......Im feeling bad for them but they don't even flinch. Reassuring me and doing everything I asked of them with a positivie attitude. I am picky with my things and I thought having them move and remove and pack into my storage unit might cause damage or problems, but it didn't. They packed my storage unit with care and ease. Next, the house.....Thank goodness we are almost done. This was the easy part. Again, the guys were efficient and fast. Joe even helped my elderly mom with her recliner in her room to make sure she could recline where he placed the chair...AAAAhhhh....so nice. Finally....we are done....Yes....and before 5:00. Can you believe it? It was a long day but I couldnt have asked for a better group of people to help me out at this most stressful time. I can't say enough good things for this company and its employees. Burgess Moving is the BOMB! Hire them for your move. You wont be disappointed. They treat you as they would treat their own family. Not only that.....the move was $800 less than what United quoted me. I will definitely use them again and refer them to whoever I can :-). read more

This is the third time we have used Burgess for our move and, as usual, they were outstanding! From the walk through of the house, to the professionals that did the move - it went very smoothly. They really make it seem easy, although moves can be stressful...and not one item was broken or damaged. Thank you Burgess Moving & Storage! read more

Burgess sent out three terrific movers who were attentive, courteous, and professional. Andy, Ryan, and Stephen arrived on time and quickly assessed our moving situation. They informed us of their moving strategy and then proceeded to wrap, load, and transport our furniture. The unloading and assembling of our possessions at our destination was impressive, and best of all nothing was damaged. I would recommend Burgess Moving, try asking for Andy, Ryan, and Stephen. read more

I will never, ever, use any moving company other than Burgess Moving & Storage. Just wanted to get that out there first! My spouse and I (both separately and together) have had some pretty horrific experiences when moving. So when we needed to move from a large house we were selling to a much smaller apartment, we were not at all looking forward to the task. In addition to the usual stress involved with relocating one's family, we have both felt at the mercy of moving companies that were unmoved by the emotional turmoil we were experiencing, as well as having suspicions that we were somehow being ripped off on pricing. A lot of these moving companies never give you all the hidden costs up front, and once they've got all your stuff, you're at their mercy. ("Oh! you want that stuff to go in a box? Well that's an extra cost", or "Really? No one mentioned the tax we charge to have a newbie help us move your stuff? It's an educational training tax. You do want to support furthering education ... don't you?!!!!" and my favorite ... "Yeah, the quote is only a guideline. Customers should always expect that we will come in much higher than that. Sign here to get your stuff off our truck. Will that be cash or check? No we don't take credit cards any more.") So I want to thank all the good people at Burgess Moving & Storage. Thank you to Rachel, and Patice who handled all the scheduling details and were our first contact with what services the company would provide, and other details such as how things would be wrapped, packed and what to expect on the back end - when our stuff was delivered to our new home. Thank you to Eloy, Juan, and Rian who could not have been more polite, efficient, and pleasant in doing the labor of actually packing and unloading the truck. Not only was everything packed with care, it was done quickly and with virtually no damage whatsoever. When we arrived at our new place - and we were downsizing significantly - these guys not only unpacked everything, they also took the time to take in the layout of the new place and advise on how we might arrange our furniture. That is a service I've never gotten from any other moving company. We took their advice on laying out the new apartment and are still happy to this day with that choice! If you are like us, and dread the thought of moving and all the hassles that can come with it, I highly recommend you take the time to contact Burgess Moving and Storage. They were competitively priced and provided excellent service throughout the entire process. I've never been quite so pleased with a moving company and won't ever be again in the future since I can never see a reason for going with another company should the need present itself again. read more

I would highly recommend Burgess! They were quick to respond, provided a thorough quote, and their team worked hard for 9.5 hours.

I wanted to take a minute to write a review for Burgess. From the moment I called, James, was friendly and available to answer my questions. I was moving during a very busy time and luckily they had a day to accommodate my move. Mike, Ryan and Edgar showed up ready to work! For what was a very overwhelming and stressful task for me they made it clear that they were there to help and said, "we want you to relax, we'll get everything then care of". Those words alone allowed me to keep everything in perspective. The move itself was a little tricky, considering we were moving to a ranch and my furniture was going to multiple different areas on the property. These men worked ALL DAY! I was so grateful for them! I can't imagine how tasking their job is day after day moving everybody's furniture. It's a physically tasking job for anyone who understands what it means to be moving and lifting things constantly! Anyways, I just wanted to give a big SHOUT OUT to this company and more importantly their staff and customer service, it was outstanding! Thank you so much!! We appreciate all you did for our family!! read more

This is the 5th time I have used professional movers. The first 4 times, the moves were Out of state and Corporate Moves. Although local, this was a very Stressful move for me as it involved not only moving me and my family but my 87 year old father. From the initial contact with Nathan Doyle, to the Packers, with Bill and the crew to the final movers, everything was awesome!!!! Burgess Moving and Storage is the BEST. Very professional, polite and accommodating to my every request. If God is willing, my final move will be my retirement home. More than likely out of state. I will certainly be a RETURN Customer. Thank You, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Respectfully read more

James Ranger was my representative and he was fantastic. He answered all my questions and followed through. The moving team was very professional and efficient. The final cost was less than the quote so I was extremely pleased all around. I moved previously with another company and it was not a good experience. I strongly recommend using Burgess Moving and Storage. Based on my experience you won't be disappointed. read more

My wife, son and I just moved from Moreno Valley, CA to Surprise, AZ. Not really knowing who to use we chose Burgess Moving And Storage since they sent us a post card probably because our house was selling. I was very impressed from the beginning. Petice came out to the house and went through every room to inventory and direct us how to pack certain items. She was very thorough., and prepared a quote for us. We then had Eloi and Jesus show up on moving day with an 18 wheeler and those guys amazed me how everything was handled. From inventory, to packing the truck and disassembling the furniture. After all day of doing this on a Thursday, Eloi said he could have everything out to us on Saturday morning. They showed up and unloaded, reassembled what needed it and moved stuff around a few times to exactly where my wife wanted it. They placed the boxes in each room that were marked on them where to go. They spent a good part of the day doing all this, making sure everything was perfect. Eloi was great, very knowledgeable and a super nice guy. Jesus was like a work horse just cranking away, also a very nice guy. I never expected this type of experience. As everyone knows, moving sucks, but these guys knew how to ease the pain. I hope I never have to move again, but if I have to I want these guys to do it for me. read more

I had an excellent experience with Burgess! They were extremely accommodating with rescheduling my move when the purchase of my home kept getting delayed. The guys worked fast and carefully. Very professional. I would use them again. read more

I have moved many times using a number of different companies, and there was no question who I would call this time. I cannot recommend Burgess Moving & Storage highly enough! The office staff was friendly and helpful, carefully explaining the process and costs. In spite of yesterday's rain (all day!) and some other challenges, Ryan and Edgar were friendly, cheerful, hard-working, fun, super-nice, speedy, efficient, professional ... and they accommodated my personal preferences for special treatment of certain items without hesitation. The team at Burgess is more than worth every penny. Please do yourself a favor and call Burgess!! read more

I've used Burgess for my past two moves and they're fabulous. I absolutely hate moving, but Jan, the woman that answers the company's phones, helped to keep me sane through it all. All the drivers and moving people were friendly and helpful. read more

I called this company after being failed by another moving company and I'm glad I did. They were professional, on time, every was on schedule, friendly staff, well prepared with tools. I highly recommend them. They moved my furniture from a storage in Riverside to San Marcos they are a bit more expensive than other companies but so worth it hassle free. read more

My move went pretty smooth. My complaint is the follow-up with a few issues that happened after the move. Operations Manager never called back after repeated attempts to resolve a broken water faucet to the washing machine connection and scratches on my refrigerator which were noted on the paperwork. I've left written, voice mail and email to the website with no reply. That is no way to treat a paying customer...Obviously your move isn't too important when they are done with the move. Eloy assured me the operations manager would call me to discuss the scratches on my refrigerator. read more

We used Burgess for our move from the OC to Riverside ... An absolutely great experience. Unlike other flakey companies that didn't even bother to show up for the estimate, Burgess was on time from A to Z. The moving crew was nice and very professional. They even helped pack the last of the items that we had missed. I was in an emotional meltdown (who likes moving anyway) and they assured me they were there to help and everything would be fine. It was! A+! read more

I have used Burgess on many an occasion and found prices fair and service excellent!

We moved from Indio to Prescott utilizing the services of Burgess Moving and Storage/North American Van Lines, Our move was a two stage process. Our furniture was stored in Palm Springs before moving to its final destination in Prescott. After the truck was loaded in Indio the driver presented us with 7 documents including "Household Inventory", "Customer declaration of value" and "North American Van Lines bill of Lading & Freight Bill". Effectively you are agreeing to the inventory and its condition. The "Customer declaration of value" is much different. In the flurry of last minute with the truck running we initialed and signed as requested. Unfortunately, this was a mistake. We initialed next to the prefilled Option 2. We now know Option 2 waived full replacement value for damaged or lost items. This means the movers settlement based on weight multiplied by 60 cents. The weight is not actual but determined by the Military Weight Guide. Now fast forward to our move. Our Ethan Allen dining room table and chairs arrived without the table legs!! Because of Option Two agreement, North American Van Lines will settle for $66.00! The table is not a table any longer and is not functional and will most likely be destroyed. North American Van Lines do not differentiate quality....it is a weight as published in the Military Weight Guide regardless if the item was Ethan Allen or Big Lots and has nothing to do with the actual weight of the item. Another example was a patio chair was broken. It is teak and made by Brown Jordan, North American Van Lines are settling for $24.00. Those examples are two of 14 total claims. North American Van Lines hold to the Military Weight Guide. The company lost the legs of our dining table and destroyed a teak patio chair and offer $90.00 compensation. I do not recommend North American Van Lines or Burgess Relocation. Beware of accepting their estimate. Reach an agreement of your coverage before the truck arrives and is loaded. Better still find another mover. There are many to choose from. read more

Is a worry-free move possible? With Burgess on your side, it is! When planning our move from Riverside to Pasadena, I wanted someone local, not just some franchisee of a national chain. I knew about Burgess--they are the people who move for the University of California at Riverside. They had moved offices for my husband and me and we had been impressed with their professionalism. But we solicited estimates from three other locals before making our decision. What sold us was the professional way that they handled the estimate. Of course, price was a factor, but Burgess was neither the highest nor the lowest. The low estimates worried us--when it came to moving we feared we would get what we paid for. The Burgess estimate seemed thoughtful, thorough, and realistic. In the end, we paid a bit under the estimate as we moved some of our things ourselves--so they were pretty accurate. They also set a realistic timetable which they beat by a couple of hours. During the initial meeting, the Burgess rep mentioned that many of their crew had been in their employ for many years--one driver for 18 years! That spoke well of the company--and indeed, subsequent interactions with the office staff and then with the packers and movers themselves impressed us with their professional and courteous service. They know moving is stressful and go out of their way to be kind! Burgess will sell you new boxes at half the price of retail outlets for your pre-move packing. They also offer recycled boxes (I am not sure if they charge for them) but those boxes are subject to availability and they didn't have any when we moved. The Burgess men packed us in one day and moved us the next. It was all smooth with no surprises, no breakages. The gentlemen who got us out of Riverside and set up our house were just that--gentlemen! In a move to a new house, you have a lot to worry about. What was amazing to me was that in the weeks leading up the Big Day, I found myself not worrying at all about the actual move. I trusted Burgess from our first meeting and my expectations were exceeded! We couldn't recommend them more highly! read more
