I had my move this past Monday, October 28th and it went very smoothly. These guys offer really great rates as I had done my research previous to booking with anyone. I moved from North Austin to Dripping Springs so I figured it was going to be pretty costly when in fact it was very reasonable. Both movers were very nice, reassuring and expedient in getting things done and put on the truck. That's not to say they weren't careful. I did have some very heavy pieces of furniture but they handled it very well. As with any move, you're going to get something that gets slightly scratched or broken. They did accidentally break a mirror but it was a cheap one from Wal-Mart thankfully that had already served it's purpose anyways. With that said though, they felt really bad and were very apologetic. I would definitely use these guys again or recommend them to anyone moving in the near future. They did arrive in the time frame that was told to me and only ran late because of the weather earlier that morning. Great job guys, keep it up! read more

3rd move with JJ and crew. They are reliable, careful and professional. Nothing has ever gotten scratched, dented or broken. They move efficiently and do not dog it like other movers. We did not hesitate to move with these guys 3 times already, because they are good at what they do and have a good attitude in 100+ heat too. Great attitude and patience with stressed customers. Diego, Corey, Mike, they were all hard working guys, thanks guys! Do I always have to move in the Summer? Highly Recommend! read more

Just want to thank Jason (the owner) for replying to my feedback. Your comments are perfectly in line with the quality of service provided... unprofessional. Instead of taking responsibility for what happen you pass blame and insults to your customers. Typical of a failing business. read more

We were in a very unique situation and needed everything packed and moved in one day. I called and spoke with Gene. He was super accommodating and compassionate with our situation. I received a quote, which to me seemed low. I insisted they come out to the property to do a visual quote, as I wanted them to see how much work it was actually going to be, and they did. I was able to get them booked for the very next day at about 8:30 in the morning. They showed up about 10 minutes early with 3 guys. An extra guy showed up a few hours later. These guys worked so hard, the job took about 12 hours. They had to break down a bunk bed and a king sized master bed set. They even reassembled the bunk for my kids to be able to sleep on that night. Thank you to Capital Movers, we will def tell our friends and use you again! P.S. Jason and Gene worked their butts off! read more

We just used them this morning. Dominique and Isiah did a great job! This was my first time using professional Movers and I couldn't be more happy. They wrapped my furniture, very professional and took the hard part out of moving. Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate you guys working so hard in this heat! I highly recommend them. read more

I would highly recommend searching for a different moving service as I have been very disappointed by this company. The men who moved my furniture were very nice and moved everything in a decent time, although a little over the 2 hours to put furniture together for me. I noticed in my bank account that they had taken more money than expected, so I called and they quickly realized they had overcharged by an hour of work, so they mentioned they would refund my card. A week later I checked up on the refund because I didn't see the deposit yet, and they said they couldn't refund it to me via my card, but had to send a check to me instead. Why did I have to call to find this information? Two weeks after my move, I reached out again and Jason said he will put my check in the mail that day, and two weeks later I still have not received it. Jason will not respond to my calls or emails and it has been ONE MONTH since I moved. Seriously, don't work with them. I got completely screwed over and don't want this to happen to someone else! read more

Mustafa and Joe were amazing. I called to have one piece of furniture moved upstairs because the place I bought my couch said that they could not get it up the stairs. These guys had it up my stairs In two minutes without any damage. Big shout out to them!!! read more

Capital Movers saved the day! Literally, my previous movers quit in the middle of the job. Furniture was half in the garage and scattered around the house. It was on a Saturday and I didn't know what to do. I called Capital Movers and they said they could send a crew that afternoon. Chad and Isiah arrived at the scheduled time and immediately went to work completing the job, carefully, efficiently, and pleasantly. They moved the furniture where I wanted it and assembled a complete room of office furniture that needed to be moved to my upstairs office. They were also able to move an extremely heavy juke box into the home, which required special strapping to lift and avoid damage. I can't say enough about the quality of work provided by Capital Movers or their GREAT TEAM - CHAD AND ISIAH!!! read more

Wonderful wonderful service. I first used Jason's group during a personal move from a house to an apartment in November of 2009. Excellent, quick service and I asked BEFORE HAND what kind of payment they accept - that's what you do with services such as this - YOU ASK. I don't know of anyone who accepts checks anymore given all the fraud that goes on with checks, but at any rate, I paid them cash and got a discount for the simple fact that my move didn't take as long as we thought. In April of 2010, my office needed someone to help us move around internally for things like unused cubicles, junk into storage, etc. They did an excellent job at a more than fair price and accepted a company check because it was pre-typed and on company titled checks. In November of 2010 I used them again after I got married and my husband and I moved out of Leander to Hutto. Excellent quick timely service. They called 30 minutes before arrival, had a 3 man crew that made it quick and seamless and they started at 9am and were done by 4pm. That's two households full of stuff! Of course, we made it a bit easier by being good planners and moving some things closer to the stairwell or door for easy access. Capital Movers has done an excellent job at a fair price. I would NEVER embarrass myself by suggesting a mover to my company that I didn't feel would do an excellent honest job. I stand by this review, I am not tied to Capital Movers in any way, and if you want to call me personally for a reference, do it. 512/731-0042. Peace, love and happy moving. HELP THEM help you by being a smart mover! No whiners. read more

I used Capital Movers for my move and I'd definitely recommend them! I was quoted $69/hr + a one-time $25 trip fee and that is exactly what we payed. I asked the owner about the 10% discount mentioned on their website, he offered me the discount without any question. I called them for quote on sunday and they schedule the move immediately on Monday morning. There was a slight mix up with address but they came on time. I moved out of a 3rd story fully furnished 1-bedroom apartment and it took less than 2 hours. The guys were friendly and didn't waste much time at all. The only thing i don't like is paying cash, i would rather prefer making a card payment upfront. I am completely satisfied with the service. read more

I would like to preface this review by saying we make a lot of decisions based on yelp and value the reviews. That being said...Here is mine for Capital Movers. A couple of weeks ago we moved from Houston to Austin on a Saturday. The guys (Noah, Matt, & Ramone) were very professional, quick, and efficient. They understand you are paying per hour and won't hesitate to work at a respectable pace. They were also very friendly. The only reason I didn't give them five stars was being of the tardiness of the staff. I would've been ok with it if the office would've just called to tell us they would be running behind. Just a common courteous practiced in today's business world. read more

These guys are crazy great! I have faithfully used a different company for many years to assist me with my small home staging business. This time, however, I needed to move from my personal home. I called the other company and they were booked for the day I needed - enter Capital Movers! The crew was uberprofessional and FAST. They carefully wrapped by dining table, coffee tables and all of my other delicate pieces. They were careful around my house making sure not to bump in to anything. I was so thankful to have found these guys and will definitely use them again. read more

I'm not going to lie, some of these reviews scared me. I had already booked them and it was short notice so I was stuck with them. My fiancé and I were making a move from Austin, TX to Fort Worth, TX we have an almost two year old and no help moving so movers are a must!!! These guys gave me a flat rate that was a great and very affordable price, again, I thought it was too good to be true. It wasn't. The guys showed up right on time, loaded everything from our two bedroom apartment up within an hour and were on the road towards our 3 hour journey to our new place. They showed up about 20 minutes after we arrived and unloaded all of our boxes and furniture within an hour. They were awesome and extremely friendly. We would recommend them to anyone who needs reliable movers for a great price!! Thanks Capital Movers!!! Y'all are amazing!! read more

Capital Movers is hands down the best service in town! Extremely professional, with a personal, attentive staff. I highly recommend using them for any size move because the rates are affordable, and the job gets done right. I moved out of a 2 bedroom apartment recently. The movers showed up right on time, everything was moved dilcately, yet at a fast enough paced that I didnt feel anxious. Again, Capital Movers is a great service, and the movers that helped, put the cherry on the topping! read more

Capital Movers came through when another company flaked out on us. Jesse and Raymond were great! Thank you so much for helping us out on such short notice! read more

I'm editing this review after Jason, the owner, emailed me when he saw my original review. In his first email, he implied I was lying in my 3 star review and later called me childish for expressing displeasure at his unfounded implication. He also told me that he didn't regret anything on behalf of the company--not the damages, and not the other issues I pointed out to him, such as the fact that they were three hours late and showed up without plastic covers that I had requested on a rainy day--because I didn't tell him exactly what I wanted. It was apparently naive to assume that the owner would offer to fix issues without me making specific demands. I suppose he decided to email me directly instead of commenting here publicly because accusing customers (generally satisfied, repeat customers who give you decent reviews, even!) of lying when they mention a company's shortcomings isn't going to engender much faith in potential new customers. I definitely won't be using Capital Movers again--a low price isn't worth such unprofessional, and flat-out rude, treatment. ORGINAL REVIEW: I've used Capital Movers three times for last-minute moves. If you're concerned about price and don't have expensive furniture, I'd recommend Capital Movers. If you're in a pinch and need to move fast, then they are definitely good for that! Pros: More affordable than all the others I priced; available on short notice Cons: They caused some minor damage to some of my furniture, and they don't pay attention to box labels (so they ended up in the wrong rooms). read more

Update January 2015 --- I just saw the owner's reply to my review. The invoices I have say Capital Movers and the email used to communicate about the moves are still associated with this company. So yes. It was Capital Movers. I do remember they were very fairly priced. Things happen and trucks do break down. It was just handled in most crap way possible. But it's been couple of years. I'm sure things have changed. Original Review November 2011 --- I was happy to have found Capital Movers and Gene seemed like hard working, honest, nice guy. Pricing was great and they did a decent job. Until... they canceled my move on the day of the move at 7:17am via email. Email read "I can't do ur move. My truck is broke down" SERIOUSLY????? read more

My disgustingly organized girlfriend set up Capital Movers to arrive at her storage unit at noon on a Friday (yesterday, June 28). She called them at 12:45 wondering where they were. After a bewildered response, they said they'd have to call her back and figure out what was going on. 15 minutes later, they called back and said they were running behind and could meet her at 3pm. In the meantime, she spent 90 minutes organizing her outdoor unit with no A/C. She took a break to cool off and went back to the unit. At 3:45 she was told that it would be another hour. She called me crying and furious, so I was compelled to call these guys. No answer. Left message. Got a call back from a guy who said "hey, sorry. We misjudged how long the previous job would take." BY FOUR HOURS?! I told him that my girlfriend was distraught, dehydrated and stuck there wasting her whole afternoon (oh yeah, it was 105º that day) waiting for them to show up. This guy was completely unapologetic, with a powerless shrug for an attitude. When I tried to reiterate their complete negligence, hoping to get some genuine sympathy and a promise to expedite their mission, he brushed me off, saying they were doing what they could, alright?! He sarcastically wishing me to "have a nice day" as he hung up the phone. Some cajones. These guys are disorganized and overwhlemed. No business sense or courtesy whatsoever. I used Blue Whale a couple weeks before and they were prompt, efficient, cheap, and courteous. In the middle of this crisis, I made the mistake of telling my gf she should have used them as well. Big mistake. PS The manager called me back a day later and we met the day after that. He paid for the rental of the pickup truck we used to transport the bulk of her items. He was apologetic and sincere, and it mitigated much of the frustration we felt. I've updated my rating from one star to three. read more

I have used this company for three different moves. Aside from them being late this company is great. I have recommended them to friends and they have had the same review as me. Each time is has been two men who come out to move our stuff. They are very professional and courteous. The last move we did was the best. The men who came out were very careful with our items, and took the time to fit all of our boxes and furniture in the truck. I would highly recommend to anyone. read more

So, after a call from the owner, Jason, we resolved the issues. It was a simple mix up with two deliveries going out on the same day. Jason was very nice, and tried very hard to make sure we were happy. I would recommend Jason and Capital Movers. Things happen, but they took control of the situation. Thanks, guys! read more

Patrick and Josh helped us move our stuff into a UHaul truck and then into our new apartment yesterday. They were great, fast and efficient! They were even early getting there. Highly recommend. read more

Had a last minute move this past weekend and was extremely satisfied with the service and price. Crew even showed up a little early which was great! Very professional and knew exactly what they were doing. Last company I used was horrible and put a bad taste in my mouth. So glad these guys took the bad taste out. Will definitely use them for the next move. Have already recommended them to a friend. read more

We have used Capital Movers a few time and they have all ways been very professional and reliable. The last move they took a trampoline apart and moved it for us in the 100 degree heat and was very careful that all the pieces were delivered and nothing was broke. We are very happy with the work that Capital Movers has done for us and would refer anyone to use them. read more

Best Moving Company. I moved from NYC to Austin. Appointment set up was easy and quick. The guys came on time and very strong team work. For those of you looking for movers, i would recommend don't waste time on others and call Capital Movers right away. This morning they help to move a piano to the second floor. Whatever they told you, they will get it done in no time. read more

What a great company to work with! They were very careful with my items. They were very friendly and accommodating to all of my requests. I needed A LOT of items moved from my storage locker in Austin to my home in Dallas. They were able to assist me. From the initial phone conversation to the delivery of my items I was very pleased. I would highly recommend Capital Movers. read more

I choose Capital movers from an ad on craigslist to move from my south Austin 1st floor apt to another 1st foor apt less than 2 miles away. I reviewed Yelp beforehand. The man in the office is super friendly and I agreed to $75 per hour etc. The movers were scheduled to arrive at 8-830- called at 7:45 and showed up and began moving my things at 9am. Diego and Kory turned on the tunes and went straight to work. I felt comfortable leaving them alone with my things while I ran errands around town and tied up loose ends with the apartment complexes. Diego and Kory were loaded by 1030am and called me stating they were ready to relocate/unload at my new apartment. I had around 40 medium size to large moving boxes, lightweight furniture, and no speciality items. Basically I needed the muscle to move my things from location A to B... or so I thought. After running another errand, I showed up to my new apt and walked into the entertainment center and loveseat set up and several boxes unloaded. The guys were 1/2 way unloaded; it was already 11am. However, simple move quickly took a turn for the worst. I was downsizing apartments. The guys quickly explained that my washer/dryer (the w/d connections are located in the patio closet) were too wide to fit through the single patio door to get to the w/d closet, plus my 7 ft Pleather couch wouldnt fit into the apartment doors due to architecture styles. I called for the apt maintenance to remove the patio doors. Diego and Kory lifted and carried the washer/dryer inside from the truck through the aprtment to the w/d connections, which are located on the patio. Diego called several times to the company office explaining the couch problem. It was not a good situation-finally with the patio doors still removed Kory mentioned padding the patio ledge with several blankets and lifting the couch over the patio ledge and through the patio doors. Smart, out of the box thinking and commitment to making it work! Diego had me sign a waiver and explained moving a couch over a patio ledge is not customarily Capital moving procedures. They were soo careful lifting and setting the couch upright. This was my first time to use a moving service in my life! I had a few hangups; however they made it work. The guys are smart thinkers and truly wanted to do a good job. Diego and Kory cared about safely and quickly moving my belongings into the apartment. They used dollies and blankets when needed and their set up looks great. I left them alone to do thier thing and they did great. I didnt stand over them and watch thier tactics. The guys were very careful with moving my glass table top in/out of the truck. To prevent mishaps they suggested for me to carry the delicate glass shelving in my car. I had one very small box of inexpensive gifted teacher mugs break- I didnt care enough to wrap the mugs! One box out of 40... isnt bad. But my 40 inch flatscreem TV, glass shelving, and mirrors I moved in my car because accidents do happen when moving. Capital movers did an awesome job from start to finish. The guys were trustworthy, honest, friendly and worked. By 12 pm I was sitting pretty watching dvds. $250 total. Awesome experience. In a year, when my lease is up I will request using the same team. Diego and Kory rocked. Thanks so much! read more

I should have filled this out forever ago! These guys were great. They were on time, fast, didn't break anything, they were friendly and just really helped make moving less awful. Great work, reasonable price. I am very satisfied and would certainly recommend these movers. read more

I have used these guys three times and they are just WONDERFUL. They are precise and professional, but also super friendly, happy people. Capital has moved our furniture and a baby grand piano. Couldn't be more please with their services. THANK YOU CAPITAL! read more

Let me just say how hard working and reliable this company is first off!!!! Ok, so I initially called "Keep Austin Moving" and they were supposed to show up at 6pm this past Sat and guess what they didn't show up, didn't call, didn't answer my calls or even respond to let me know they werent going. So I then called Capital Movers on Sunday morning, Jason answered and reassured me his guys could be out there to help me move and Promised that his guys would take care of me and sure enough even after working 2 other moving jobs all day they still showed up and did an amazing job!!! That's bc they were moving my stuff to a 3rd floor and it was their 3rd job that day! Talk about great customer service!!!!!! read more

Jason and his crew did a great job! Having moved a number of times in the last 5 years they helped make a 2nd floor apartment move easy. Professional and courteous they were also quick and reasonably price! read more

Used Capital Movers for an admittedly last-second move. A one bedroom apartment, with everything already boxed up and ready to go. No stairs at the old apartment; 1 set of stairs at the new apartment. The estimate was ~2 hours, which was in my price range. When the movers arrived, I let them know (as I did over the phone) that I was more concerned with price than getting everything out. Accordingly, I asked the movers to only move my furniture, and to move the boxes if there was enough time since I could move those in my car. At first, I was pretty damn impressed. They were really nice guys, and they started off moving really quickly and efficiently - to the point where they assured me that they could handle the boxes too. It took maybe a half-hour to pack everything up. Then, with all of my stuff stuck in their truck, they slowly unloaded it over the course of about 4 hours, sticking me with a 5 hour bill. Great experience otherwise, but a 2 hour estimate turning into a 5 hour bill just plain stinks. read more

Chris and Cody are awesome. I found this company last minute yesterday and I have no complaints. My time bracket was honored and I even received a call before hand to inform of their whereabouts. It was a quick move and I even find myself apologizing for my clutter. When I move from storage to another place I'll be sure to call them first and in advance...thx guys! read more

Mike was awesome. He was on time and got to work. He didn't stop until the job was done. Highly recommend these guys for any of your moving needs. read more

These guys ROCK. I'm several years late in writing this - super long overdue, but I absolutely owe it to Capital Movers because they are EXCELLENT. We were moving into a new second-floor apartment in the hot Texas summer. It was unbelievably hot that day, with the sun bearing down without remorse. I was dreading the hours and hours of back breaking, arm straining, painful work ahead of me. Even with three other people helping me (girlfriend, her brother, and a friend), it was going to be a long, arduous day of toil, swearing, and general frustration. Except that didn't happen. We saw two guys from Capital Movers packing up their truck and were about to leave - they'd just finished helping someone move into an apartment on the other side of my building. We flagged them down and asked if they'd be willing to help, offering to pay cash. They immediately accepted and got to work. One hour. One single, short, blink-and-it-was-done hour later, EVERYTHING was in our apartment. This included two giant coaches, bed frames, mattresses, bookshelves, dressers, and endless boxes. These two guys from Capital Movers had everything hauled up amazingly fast, never once complained, and smiled the entire time. We don't have an elevator, so they had to bring everything up on a handtruck manually. It was amazing to behold, watching these two helpers move more stuff in less time than the four of us could have done in half a day. To put it succinctly, they saved the day. Capital Movers saved the day. I have never had the luxury of using movers before, as the horror stories you get from people are enough to make me stay away. Capital Movers obliterated that fear and worry - nothing was broken, they were fast, professional, and helpful, and saved us hours of intense hardship. Thank you Capital Movers. Keep up the amazing work. read more

I found Capital Movers on Craiglist on a Friday afternoon after struggling to schedule another moving company. I probably wouldn't have used them if I'd checked Yelp first but I was in a bind and they were available Saturday morning bright and early. I'm glad I went with them! Ty and Ramon were GREAT! They arrived right at 8am, as scheduled, waited for me to fight with the storage unit folks and lock issues and still got the job done in three hours. At the end they even helped me move some furniture around my new place and put my bed together. A+ service! read more

I was one of those people who thought that I could do a move by myself. I rented the truck and got it all loaded up and arrived at new apartment and realized that there was no way that I was going to get everything up to the 2nd floor on my own. My daughter was in a boot for a sprained ankle and I have arthritis that was flairing up pretty bad. I called Braydon at 1:00pm and basically begged to see if there was anything that they could do. Did they have even one person that could come and help take everything upstairs. I had everything out of the truck and by the stairs. He did an amazing job. Told me that he would call me right back and within 5 minutes he had called me and said that there were 2 people coming and they would be there within 30 minutes. In about 15 minutes, 2 people showed up and immediately started to work. I had to run to the ATM to get cash to pay them so while I did that, they continued to carry everything up. Literally took them about 20 minutes to get it all up. By the time I got back from the ATM they were done. I managed to get the rental truck returned on time and saved my sanity. The two people who showed up were awesome. They took care so that they didn't drop anything or break anything and they were just nice guys. Lesson learned - don't try to move again on my own - and the money that I spent that day was the best money that I could have spent that weekend (Braydon gave me a great rate too!) I do know - that when it is time for me to move again - I am calling Capital Movers.....and I will be recommending them to my friends who will be moving. Good job guys! You have no idea how much you saved me that day! read more

DO NOT USE THESE MOVERS!!!!!! I usually leave great reviews but I'm always honest. This is THE WORST experience and customer service I've ever experienced in my life. I've moved several times and have never been ripped off like I was with Capital Movers. Not only did they charge me $1,010 for 5 hours of moving, one of the leg posts to my bed is missing and is currently being supported with rocks (yes, from outside). Oh, and the movers that were moving me stopped on the (4 mile drive) for a unsolicited lunch break that took at least an hour. When I brought it to their attention that they had potentially overcharged me, they refused to return my phone calls and the man (also the owner) speaking to me told me very blatantly to "not talk while he was talking" HOW RUDE. As a woman, human, and customer I will demand respect. If I could leave negative stars I would. STAY AWAY. You've been warned. read more

I asked for a quote for a last minute move to my new townhouse. Jason called me the next morning. He was very helpful and gave me a really good price for such short notice. The guys arrived on time and they were really nice. They had everything in my apartment loaded in the truck in about an hour. They had it all unloaded in my new place in less than an hour with only one cheap mirror breaking in transit. However as nice as the guys were they did not finish the job. I specifically told them about the hall closet being full of stuff and they said no problem they would grab it. When I went back to the apartment to clean before turning in the keys I did one last walk through and when I opened the closet it was still full of stuff. I called them back and told the guy what happened. He apologized and was very nice he said he would see if he had someone else that could come ran the stuff for me and would call me back in 10-15 minutes or he could refund some of my money. He was even nice enough to offer to come get the stuff himself at 5:30 the next morning, but I had to turn in the keys so my stuff had to be out that day. Well I finished cleaning and have yet to have a call back or any type of refund since I had to make 2 more trips between my apartment and my townhouse to move everything. I have a sports car not a truck which is why I hired them to move everything for me. The movers are great and they are all very nice guys but the customer service follow through needs some improvement. I also work in a customer service based job and if I say I'm going to call someone back I do even if it isn't with good news. I would still recommend them to people but please follow through on what you tell your customers. read more

We moved from one 2nd floor property in North Austin to a first floor property in South Austin and had a lot of very heavy items. These guys were awesome! They knocked out the entire job in 4 hours and placed every item and box in the room it belonged in! Cody was exceptional! His helper was new and dinged a couple of doorways and our wooden bed frame (nothing major) but he is still learning (and why I did not give a 5 out of 5). I would hire them again and do recommend them for your move! read more

Jason's crew helped us move out of our home of 13 1/2 years. Though they were later than expected. The guys showed up ready to work. We had a HUGE house hold of furniture to move. And some our pieces were HEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAVVVVVVYYYYYYY. These guys never complained. There were times where I was a tad concerned whether they could lift & move some of our pieces. They did without any damage to the furniture nor to themselves. GREAT job Capital Movers!!! We appreciate you & all your hard work! read more
