Rolando and team were beyond professional, efficient organized and thorough during our recent move out of a 3 story townhouses they navigated marrow stairs and helped with disassembly and reassembly of furniture. Their quote was honest and after the amount of time our move took - a deal compared to what others quoted. Highly recommended!! read more

The end of May 2022 We used Celis movers for a very stressful move from a country property in Sebastopol to Santa Fe New Mexico. We have lots of art, antiques, books, crystal, dishes etc.... they were not only very accommodating but handled our stress wonderfully. Not a single thing arrived broken. thier qoute was the best we got and they were creative with us as a big truck could make it down our road in Sebastopol. that meant moving everything twice. Rolando was great to work with and came out to our place several times. For a large move I cant say enough praise for them! also no funny stuff like added charges at the end and the same crew who loaded us in Ca. unloaded us on NM. good solid honesty the whole way thru. read more

I am so impressed with the efficiency, professionalism, reasonable cost, and ease of using Celis Movers. The crew that showed up on time both days, worked hard and fast. The house was packed and emptied in no time. They also own reasonably priced on-site storage pods, which made moving much less stressful, given that I am in between homes at the moment. Not having to stress about using an off site storage facility (to load and unload, etc) was a huge plus and gave me peace of mind. Rolando is personable, very detailed, professional, clear in his communication, and quick to respond to questions. The whole experience was seamless. I thought I would never say this about moving, but it was a pleasure to work with Rolando and his crew. THANK YOU!! read more

Thank you Celis Movers and Storage as you did a great job moving out of our old home into a nicer new home. The two man moving crew showed up on time with a very clean new 20' moving truck. They were very courteous and easy to give instructions to. They did a great job moving the house furniture first being very careful in packing and moving. The second and third trips were for all of our outdoor trees and small plants and many lawn ornaments that we had spread out over a acre. The reason for a small truck was that our driveway is a tight access and slightly steep that a longer moving van could not make. The were very careful about taking our plants, pots and lawn furniture. As it was a short local move to our new house there was not much time lost in making several trips. They worked nonstop from 8AM till 5PM without not even taking time out for lunch. The company is run very professionally with excellent working staff and Rolando handles the initial communication and estimating is very efficient. I have used two other moving companies recently and Celis Movers is by far superior in quality and quantity of work. I would definitely use them again for any moving or hauling as they can charge by the hour or by the job. read more

Rolando was a great guy to get to know. He promised exemplary service and he delivered. I was amazed at the way his guys handled super heavy dressers, handily and gingerly! I was impressed with the great attitude and customer satisfaction it was clear they strove for. I would definitely hire Rolando and his crew again! read more

Rolando and his team were so amazing to work with. I have had horrible experiences with movers before and Celis is the exact opposite. They were extremely responsive, worked to fit in with our schedule, showed up on time, nice and early instead of having to wait around all day, and were very friendly and quick. The best moving experience I've ever had. read more

We used Celis for packing and a short move from San Rafael to Novato. They were really, really great. Very reasonable pricing, very friendly and helpful, clean and gentle with our stuff and the homes, and overall it was a great experience. We previously used another local moving company which was also great, but they definitely scratched a few floors and pieces of furniture. We haven't found a single dent or scratch in anything Celis moved. While I NEVER want to move ever again, if we do, we'll call Celis to help us do it. read more

A hidden gem. In need of a local Northern California move and cross country move to Florida. Called multiple (5) nationally known moving companies, all of which had extremely rude, condescending frontline staff. Was advised by all "good luck finding anyone....why did you even call....don't you know this the busiest time for movers"). Earliest available.bookings ranged from 6-8 weeks out. Came across a local company, Celis Movers, on an internet search. Someone answered the phone immediately. First question was "How can we help you?" Rolando immediately began asking detailed questions, listened intently, and addressed EVERY concern. He was able to juggle schedules around to meet my urgent needs. Donaldo & Sacramento were the team assigned to me. They arrived on time. Had excellent Covid precautions (provided proof of vaccination, masked, frequent hand washing). Reviewed the contract tgoroughly with me prior to beginning the job. Very polite, professional, efficient, extremely hard working. They are a local company but can handle out of state moves as well. Full service is available from packing to moving to storage. Price extremely reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Hired Celis for a local move (SF to San Rafael) of large appliances. Rolando accurately estimated the timing for the move, was extremely communicative and patient, and made the whole process easy. The team was fantastic and kind; I was really impressed at how they moved an extremely heavy, tall refrigerator down a narrow set of stairs and maneuvered it in through my garage. I'd 100% recommend Celis and would use them for my next move. read more

Last-minute request for a move as the company we originally booked with canceled on us last-minute and Celis put us on their schedule and arrived within just a few hours. Awesome! The whole crew was professional and prompt. Will recommend to all who will listen. read more

Rolando is the consummate professional....he is responsive, thorough and reliable. He drove all the way to Cloverdale to estimate our move but unfortunately our circumstances changed and we did not work with him. I would,highly recommend him to any and all who need to make a move. read more

Celis Movers did an incredible job with our move. I was very nervous based on the horror stories you read about moving companies that sub-contract their work and all the hidden fees and headaches that can entail. Rolando at Celis provided us with a very attractive quote -- considerably less than another local company that subcontracts -- and when I was worried we had more boxes than initially predicted, we discussed it with Rolando and there was a minimal cost increase. The movers did a great job loading and unloading our possessions and Rolando even drove the truck for our move. I cannot recommend this company enough. read more

Careful, responsive & efficient! I highly recommend their services for your next move!

We recently used Celis Movers and Storage for our move from Santa Rosa, CA to Seattle, WA. We cannot say enough great things about this company. Celis is professional, fairly priced, responsive, careful, friendly, incredibly hard working and totally honest. The service was extraordinary at every step of the process. Celis was the fastest to provide a quote for our work. They handled our furniture with great care. They delivered very quickly once we had identified our new address. We used their storage for 3 months. Our furniture survived their handling, trucking and storage virtually without a scratch. You really should be paying a premium price for this quality of service but Celis is also very competitively priced. They beat the national companies on price and ware in a totally different league on service quality. We enjoyed working with Celis Movers at all phases of our move. We cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

While we did not end up using this company, I was very impressed with the professionalism and ability to try to make it work. Prompt, courteous, and thorough. read more

After quoting a very good price through Yelp request, and saying they could move our hot tub with two men, they then said it would actually take four and charged us for 45 min travel for all four men each way. That more than quadrupled the cost. Felt like a bait and switch. They did a fine job with the work itself but I think should have quoted the travel cost up front and been more realistic re the staff needed. read more

From Rolando's initial visit to our home in Petaluma, to the final delivery of everything we own to our new home in Denver, all our expectations were exceeded. The price was competitive, the packing was perfect, the same crew worked both ends of the journey, nothing was lost or broken. And the friendliness and professionalism of the movers, doing one of the hardest tasks I can imagine, was incredible. Look no further; I recommend them without reservation. read more

Rolando and his crew are amazing! Rolando moved me from Santa Rosa to Arizona. Had my house loaded up in about 2 hours. So much care was given to all items they were loading. All my things arrived in AZ when promised. Thank you to Celis Movers! read more

A couple friends had a moving company bail on them at the last minute, and Celis Movers came through like none other. These guys are amazing. They were efficient and careful and very patient with those of us who were madly packing boxes and trying to stay out of the way. I'm so glad I now know who to call when I'm moving! read more

We were moving from Santa Rosa to the Sacramento area. We asked for quotes from several moving companies and did extensive reviews of the posted feedback for each of them on Yelp and other sites. We looked for companies that had virtually zero negative reviews and Celis met that requirement. After getting all of those quotes we chose Celis Movers because everyone we read and who spoke about them had nothing but positive feedback about them. They were also a very reasonable price. Since we had already packed many of our own boxes they structured their quote with separate packing and moving quotes for us. We hired their packers to help us finish up our packing of boxes on a Friday. For their hourly packing fee they also included all of the boxes and packing materials they used. On Saturday afternoon their mover team arrived and packed everything up into their trucks. But we were impressed by how they first literally spent several hours wrapping everything in blankets and making sure everything was fully protected so that it would not be damaged before they started loading it. I kind of expected as soon as they arrived they would probably immediately start putting things into their trucks, but instead they packaged and wrapped everything for hours before starting to load their trucks, which was a good way to make sure our furniture and other items were well protected. Several items like our Captain's bed and a large computer desk had to be disassembled and they handled that right. On Sunday they arrived early at our new house to deliver everything. They are very efficient and put everything where we wanted it. They put back together the beds and desks that needed to be reassembled. For our large Captain's bed it was hard to get it positioned and assembled right in the room, but their whole team came together and they took the extra time and effort to make sure it was right for us. This was great moving experience for us. No major problems at all. I would recommend Celis to anyone. Very friendly, hard working movers at a reasonable price. We would use them again and will recommend them to friends. read more

Could not be any better. I was literally amazed at the efficiency of their team, their commitment to go above and beyond and their attention to detail. I moved from Rohnert Park to Santa Clarita without incident and all for a reasonable/competitive price. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. The owner was there himself for a lot of the process and even offered to bring me a half dead plant that he had put in his vehicle to ensure it was safe. I told him it wasn't a big deal and not to worry about it. He called me less than a week later and told me he was in the area and could drop it off or reimburse me. Once again, amazed. These guys are great, especially Rolando. Would definitely recommend! read more

Rolando and his team were GREAT. Showed up when they said they would, kept everything organized, didn't break a thing. The guys were nice and the price was more than reasonable. Would absolutely hire them again. read more

I would absolutely hire them for an out-of-state move again (or in-state if we still lived in CA). I would not hire them for packing services again. Details below. I hired Celis Movers for an out of state move (CA to OH!). It was a big move: from a 3-BR home (roughly 2,000 sq. ft.) plus a garage filled with bicycles, camping and watersports gear. Rolando and his team loaded their truck, drove our belongings across the country, and unloaded into our new home. They took great care to avoid any damage to either home when loading/unloading. And they were FAST. Loaded roughly 4 hours, and unloaded in roughly 3. They were stellar. Top-shelf. Five stars, without hesitation. I also hired Celis to help us pack our kitchen, and our "master" bedroom and closet ("master" in quotes b/c our two oldest children were sharing that room). This team was less than we hoped, and far less than stellar. They complained about the work several times while at our home packing, and those complaints were renewed when I spoke to Rolando in-person on truck-loading day (the next day). The packers complained they shouldn't have to pack toys (our oldest children had a couple of toys they left out in their bedroom, the "master" BR). They complained the kitchen packing was "more work" than they expected (Rolando came to our house and quoted the work; I do not think it was more work than he expected them to do). Unpacking the boxes at our new home, it looks like maybe they had sent one experienced packer, and one who had no idea, and apparently the one who had no idea didn't ask for help. About half the boxes packed by Celis were done very well: plenty of packing paper and/or bubble wrap was used, no room in the boxes for things to rattle, etc. The other half were...ahem, not so good. We found our butter dish packed with the butter still on it. We found boxes with fragile items inside and no packing paper or bubble wrap. We found delicate items crushed under weight of heavy books. It looks like one person literally did not care about doing a good job, at all. All that said, the packing services were less than 1/10 of the total services we hired Celis to do. The delicate belongings damaged by poor packing were all sentimental items, for which monetary reimbursement would be meaningless. If I could give a 4.9 rating to more accurately reflect our experience, I would. But Rolando and his team did such a great job with the actual move, that I think a 5-star is still deserved. Rolando: Thank you for everything! And maybe give your packing crew a chat? Cheers! read more

10/10 would recommend! I don't have any plans to move again, but if I do Celis will be my first call. They were fast, so careful, friendly, and took all of the stress out of moving day! I appreciated the COVID precautions that were taken as that was a major point of concern for me. Communication from start to finish was clear and there were no surprises -- their estimate was right on. read more

Rolando, Sacramento, Nancy and the rest of the crew were a delight to work with. On time every time. Made sure I was happy with a walkthrough, delivered my belongings and helped set up bed frame, etc. I was also able to keep my 75 moving boxes for over a month because of COVID. Speaking of, they were SAFE and wore a mask and wiped down everything. I hate moving, but i would use them again! read more

DO NOT USE CELIS MOVERS. DO NOT STORE ITEMS WITH THEM. THEY WILL NOT KEEP THEIR WORD AND WILL NICKEL AND DIME YOU UNTIL YOU ARE PAYING MORE THAN WHAT A PROFESSIONAL MOVER WOULD CHARGE. 1. The wife of the owner Rolando came to do an inventory - she noted everything to be taken. When the movers came, they said they would not take certain items. I had to call Rolando several times until he spoke to the moving guys to take the items his wife had already agreed to before. VERY STRESSFUL. 2. The movers came with a small truck, admitting the larger truck was elsewhere. Hence, a lot of furniture that was supposed to be inside the truck was left outside on the liftgate, secured with ropes. Hoping everything made it to the destination was VERY STRESSFUL. 3. The wife of the owner said my wife and I could just call and arrange a time to retrieve items from the Celis storage unit. However, the one time in a year we requested to retrieve a few boxes, Rolando told us it would cost $65 for someone to be there to open the unit. CELIS LIES. VERY STRESSFUL. 4. When moving our items out of their storage unit, Rolando said it would cost $165 on moving day for someone to open the unit, otherwise they would not release our items. None of these fees were included in the contract. MORE LIES FROM CELIS. 5. The week before moving, the owner Rolando sent an email stating I had only paid 50% of the moving amount. That was entirely false - 100% of the delivery amount and 100% of the first month's storage fee was paid on pickup of items. MORE STRESS. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Celis Movers this past weekend! My husband and I recently bought our first home in Cotati. We had received word from our flooring contractor on Wednesday that our floors would be complete by Friday, so I got to work contacting movers hoping I could find someone to move in Saturday. Many of the movers I contacted were already booked for the weekend but Rolando responded right away that they could move us the next day if we wanted. The process was incredibly easy, the price was competitive and the movers he sent to assist us were AMAZING. They moved everything from our 10x10 storage unit (that was packed full) into our new home within the agreed upon 3 hours. They were incredibly quick and very careful, especially when moving our furniture up our tight stairs! Everyone at Celis Movers is so friendly, we'll definitely keep them in mind if we ever move again! read more

We have used Celis movers on multiple occasions and have been extremely pleased with their level of service, the team's careful focus on moving our furniture without damaging our walls and the overall flexibility in working with us on timing of delivery. We had a big move and the were a one stop shop, packing all of our clothing and personal items. Because of the timing of our move, we required Cells to store some of our furniture. I have recommended Cells to family and friends and can't recommend their service more highly. read more

Rolando and his team are incredible at what they do. We've worked with them three times now, both for moves and for a renovation project. We've done a point-to-point move, used packing services, and rented on-site storage pods too. Communication is super easy, friendly, and responsive. Payment is easy too. The team takes such great care of our things -- we've never had any dings on any of our furniture. They're the only movers we've ever had that didn't damage our things. Thank you so much Celis! read more

Thank you Rolando for a great moving experience. The guys were great and took great care to wrap my upholstered furniture and make the delivery in a timely manner, even with a very challenging stairway. From the estimate to delivery Celis Movers exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Celia Movers in October of last year. I underestimated how much work it would be to pack up my mom's apartment and my tiny loft. They came and gave an estimate for packing at my mom's, then my place. They gave great advice on which items wouldn't survive moving and which pieces weren't worth taking with us. Two men arrived on time. They packed the items I requested quickly but carefully. They packed and transported my items over to my mom's place where I had two pods. Then they proceeded to pack all our stuff into one pod!! There's no way I could have packed all that stuff into one pod. And it arrived in Kansas intact-nothing broken! I almost cried when I realized I could have hired them to pack and move us to Kansas. I'd already received and sign for the pods before I found them. Save yourself the time, energy and hassle of doing it alone. Hire these guys!! read more

Disregarded my request for a quote almost immediately with no explanation. Terrible business practices.

Rolando and his team did a fantastic job to help us with a recent move from Northern to Southern California. From the first phone call, to delivery of our household to our new home, the service was excellent, nothing was damaged and the price was very fair. Phone calls were answered or returned promptly, advice given on packing freely, boxes delivered, it was all handled well. Our move had multiple components; one item going to a different but nearby town and multiple items being shipped to family across country to Pennsylvania, Rolando handled all of it with care and professionalism. Whether you're moving across town, across the state or across country, please consider Celis Movers. We chose them based on their Yelp reviews and they really did exceed expectations. Thank you, Rolando and team! read more

Celia got me out of an abusive environment and into storage in a matter of days. They are hardworking professionals. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Moving sucks. It suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. There's the hassle of packing, storing all the bits and pieces that mean so much to you into boxes, and having it hauled away to their new location. If you're selling a house at the same time, it sucks times ten. Thankfully though, there are companies like Celis that make it that much easier. Thanks to some stellar Yelp reviews, I gave Rolando a call and was glad I did. He was over in a flash to give us a very competitive quote, and was able to move schedules around to make the move as easy as possible on us. The guys did arrive almost two hours late for pickup which would ordinarily have seen me knock off a star, but they more than made up for it on the other side, basically being on standby while our realtors and mortgage guy/title company worked to get us our keys on the day promised. But once they got the green light, the trucks rolled to our new house, and everything was unloaded in just a couple of hours. And the cherry on top - zero breakage. None. Not a bit. Everything is top shape. I sincerely hope that the next time I move it'll be with me in a coffin - but when that happens, I'll have the wife call Celis to lug my carcass out of here! read more

This is an overdue review. We had an excellent experience with Celis Movers two years ago on a local move. Rolando responded quickly to my request for quote Mon 12/17 and was able to help us move Wed 12/19. I wanted an hourly instead of a fixed bid and he was able to do that. I explained what I needed, and he estimated 3 movers for 5 hours. I was a little surprised that the minimum was 5 hours, that seemed like a lot to me, but Rolando was spot on - it took 5 hours 15 minutes! The 3 movers showed up at 7am on the dot and they were super hard workers and super fast and super careful the whole time. At first I thought that they were pricey but after seeing how hard and fast they worked I feel that it was definitely good value for the price and worth every penny. Highly recommend! read more

Orlando and his crew saved the day!! They came through on a last minute emergency when the original moving company had an equipment problem when their truck broke down Orlando came to the rescue they could have charged me anything they wanted because I was desperate!! Yet his price was the same as he would have charged me any other time, on top of that I got excellent service with movers the were cautious, considerate and super efficient. We also got done in record time. I am blown away by this crew!!! I highly recommend this company I cannot say enough good things about them!!! read more

We had not moved in 18 years but then came the time to downsize and economize. We were dreading moving because of previous experiences. Because of their excellent reviews we chose to work with Celis. All that we dreaded was gone when the exceedingly professional crew arrived to pack up the house. They were on time, they were gentle, they were efficient, good humored, flexible, and the price was more than fair. On the same day they packed up, they unloaded the vans, set up the basics, and not one single item was broken or damaged!! They've come back twice to pick up all the boxes. Rolando and his team are first rate and we recommend them without reservation read more

Rolando and his team recently helped us move to Southern California. They took exceptional care of all of our belongings with efficient speed and cheerful teamwork. They also pulled off the Herculean effort of moving our hot tub through a tight maze of narrow paths and low roof thresholds with aplomb! Special shout out to Roberto, who had the strength of three men. We highly recommend Celis Movers and Storage. Thanks Rolando! read more

As a local, growing fine furniture store, we started using Celis Movers this summer. One day, all four families who received our furniture went out of their to relay compliments to me about the Celis team. How they wore the blue nitrile gloves when carrying in the sofas and chairs; very polite; moved existing furniture around. All the Celis employees that I've met so far are very impressive. (I'm the owner of Wine Country Fine Furniture, on Bodega Ave. in Petaluma.) read more
