Would highly recommend Rudy and his team. They managed to lift our couch and refurbished refrigerator into our second story patio door after it would not fit through the front. We quite literally could not have done it without them. No other movers could have done this so efficiently and carefully. Affordable, quick, and professional--definitely recommend! read more

Buyer Beware..! My daughter and I contracted with Rudy for two moves from one location. One was a local move and the other was packing a trailer for a long haul half way across the country. Rudy promised a smooth process. He told us the precious art work and collectibles would be handled with care and wrapped carefully. He told us they would be careful not to mix up the items that would be going to different locations. He told us lots of things. We felt confident about the move. Let me back up for a moment. Our move was hectic. We were not as prepared as we should have been. There was more "stuff" than anyone thought there would be. There was so much extra stuff, the trailer was completely full. But all of that should not mean furniture would be damaged, my precious art work was found shoved into boxes -- not even wrapped. My brand new refrigerator and freezer were both dented. But wait, there's more. When I confronted Rudy he was defensive and combative. He was full of excuses. He blamed me. He blamed the driver of the long haul truck. He never once just said "I'm sorry you were unhappy." "I'm sorry things didn't go as planned." Nope, he just tried to argue it away without accepting any responsibility. I'm sure he will respond to this telling you it was completely my fault and he is not responsible for anything. We eventually settled things and parted ways. I would NEVER recommend Rudy just based on his behavior. I'm still unpacking and finding damaged items. I will have to live with that. But what I can't live with is letting you use this company. Please, don't do it. read more

From estimating to delivery this was the best move I have ever experienced. I can't quite explain how professional and smart these workers were. It's something you have to witness to fully understand the quality of service provided. The customer service, and overall experience I had with Elite surpasses any move I made over the past 10 years in moves I have had. Ask about the free wardrobes they provide, This saved me money on boxes and time with my full closets and clutter. At the end of the day 3 movers had re located me from a 3 bedroom house into my new place in less than 6 hours. Amazingly the price met the quote which is rare with companies in this industry. 5 stars is all I could give this company but they are above that. I have already recommended Elite to my brother for his upcoming move. Thanks again Elite moving and packing services!! Johnny read more

I have used Elite three times over the past 2 years for moves. I highly recommend this company and the service they offer. Each move went smoothly and it was stress-free. The workers were professional, courteous and kind. The movers had great techniques when packing and moving items, they were confident which made me feel safe. They even created a pulley system to safely pull the lighter items over the rail. I was very impressed! I recommend this company for their professionalism and affordable pricing! read more

Rudy and team are awesome. I moved to Goleta in March of 2020 from Hawaii so our POD arrived in April. I contacted Rudy and he came out, opened up my POD and handled it. They were professional and courteous. They also put together a desk of mine that usually gives me problems in setting up. It was quickly handled and I really appreciate all they did for me. read more

I would only use Rudy and his team for any kind of moving, property assistance, cleanup, and storage assistance. I trust them completely and they have made a really overwhelming situation (packing and unpacking my mother's house) absolutely streamlined and supportive, which I appreciate beyond words. read more

We had to move two commercial refrigerators from our Santa Barbara store to our home in Oak Park. We were very pleased with their service. The owner was very friendly and very professional. His employees were excellent with their service! I strongly recommend this company if you are looking for a moving company! read more

Great job and very professional. I would recommend most definitely. Our move went very smoothly.

Rudy and Corbin and Chris came on very little notice to move my whole house with a 24' box truck! Super pro, brought new moving pads and boxes, and carefully wrapped my glass and pottery. They packed probably 30 boxes for me while moving my furniture out. I couldn't believe it was all done and at my new place a city away in about six hours. They also helped get all the moving tape and wrap off items for me at my new home. Nothing broke at all! They were super careful working around my newly painted new house also. Super competitive pricing and no fuss with contracts and pre-move visits. Highly recommend them and already told a colleague about them for her upcoming move. read more

Mario, Rudy, and his team are amazing and got my move done so quickly! They pay great attention to detail to make sure that everything is double wrapped and completely shatter-proof. I moved a huge mirror and there wasn't even a scratch on it. Would definitely recommend them! Also, their prices are some of the best you'll find in this area (I was quoted over double what I paid at Elite by other companies in Santa Barbara) read more

I love it, had to move a heavy dresser and bed all the way to LA and everything got there safe, no scratch at all! If I hear that any family members need to move I will definitely recommend read more

What can I say; they were amazing and Rudy's knowledge and attention to care and detail, WOW! They were on time, moved a beloved concert grand Steinway piano - DOWN A SLOPED DRIVEWAY with the skill of dancers. I was a nervous wreck but my fears were squashed immediately. Delivery to new address was as flawless as the pick up. Price was comparable to other quotes. Awesome job guys! read more

Moving can be stressful and unpleasant, but Rudy & colleagues made our move quick and easy. I'm highly impressed that they moved our stuff from two different locations into one home in under an hour! I would book Elite Movers again with no hesitation, they're friendly and professional! read more

These guys did things right. Their price was good, too. Their estimates about what times they would be at places were off, but they kept in communication about their delays. They handled my piano with the utmost care, and they knew a lot about it. They even held piano parts up for me to photograph the identifying information on it. The team worked together well. They were also careful about not scuffing my house. I appreciated how polite they were. I fully recommend Elite Movers. read more

They were quick, super friendly and organized! I also appreciated how thoughtful they were with placing heavier items needing to be unpacked in a easily accessible area. I'd definitely use them again!!! read more

Rudy is an excellent communicator, was very responsive to our needs, and made us feel like our stuff was in good hands. We were very pleased with how he (and his team) handled our move. read more

Rudy and his team were more than incredible. I had to move fairly last minute and as a full time working new mom with no time to pack, I was blown away at how careful, professional, fast, and diligent they were. They arrived on time, went right to work, and truly went above and beyond. I had to leave for work before the move was completed but was able to do so with full confidence knowing I was leaving everything with such capable people. I can't thank them enough for making the move so easy! If you are even considering Rudy and Elite movers for one second, DO IT! read more

We have used Elite Movers & Packing Services twice now (one in state move which was 365 miles and one out of state move covering 1400 miles) and I highly recommend them. Not only are they extremely reasonable in terms of pricing, but Rudy is honest and communicative which takes out a lot of the stress of moving. In both instances Rudy and his team showed up on time and they worked very fast but were extremely careful with wrapping furniture items. They were extra careful with my husbands prized bull shakes smoker- which is not an easy item to move! I have honestly never seen a moving company put so much care into wrapping and loading items. We were so impressed with them and through both moves, we have not had any breakages or damages. They really do an amazing job and they are good, honest people - we will definitely use them again in the future! Thank you Rudy and team for making our moves go be as smoothly as possible- you guys are amazing! read more

This is the best moving service I've ever had. Rudy and his team were amazing! They were super careful with my furniture. I really appreciate that once we arrived at my new place they made sure that everything was located where I wanted and they really were making sure I felt at home. Although the service took longer than expected, I think they were pretty efficient. I think the price per hour is fair. So I would definitely recommend them! read more

The whole process of moving is stressful and Rudy and his team made it as simple as possible. Great communication, fair prices, and reliability made my move easy. The team worked quickly and efficiently. Their spacial skills and furniture tetris was incredible, getting all of my pieces to fit into a storage unit. read more

Rudy and his team are top notch. They are hard workers and make no excuses. When they showed up to pack up the POD I ordered they had my entire house done in less than three hours. There was a month between packing up and moving in to my new place. They unpacked the pod in record time. And they reassembled furniture that had been disassembled in the packing process. They were also helpful in placing things (and moving them) where I wanted rather than just putting them in a labeled room. Moving is a stressful time and Rudy and his team made it actually fun! They were pleasant to be around, worked diligently and quickly, and there was no damage!!! If I ever move again I will definitely be calling Elite Movers. read more

Elite was superb!! Arrived on time and wrapped my friend's 5 piece sectional to deliver to her new condo with such care. Rudy and his partner Miguel were poetry in motion! I would highly use them again and recommend them as the best moving team in Santa Barbara County and very reasonable! read more

Rudy and his movers did an excellent job for my move. They completed it in record time and were really friendly and professional. Also, the communication was great which made me feel more comfortable as you obviously want to know your movers are going to show up on your moving day! Thank you to Rudy and his team! read more

I used Elite Movers on three different occasions and each one was extremely streamlined to the minute detail. Rudy is available to talk you through the best options and he became completely prepared every time. It is the most reliable service you will find. read more

Elite movers did a great job moving our 4300 sq ft professional offices from downtown to upper State St. Eleven full offices of furniture from a location we had been in for 29 years. They professionally moved lots of artwork, carefully disassembled large desks with returns and manuveured a 10 long one piece conference table down a two flight of enclosed stairs with a midway landing. They were extremely polite, asked questions when needed and were patient with our last minute ideas to move furniture in the new offices from its initial placement. Rudy communicated well and supervises a great crew of guys. I would highly recommend Elite Movers, but hope we never have to move again! read more

This is a rather belated (several months late, in fact) review of Elite Movers delayed only due to my own dreadful schedule. But time has NOT dulled the memory of this particularly efficient operation and its boundlessly energetic owner, Rudy, who left an indelibly positive impression on an otherwise very last minute move out of Santa Barbara. You'll notice he is mentioned personally in most of the Yelp reviews and there's a darn good reason for it - exceptional customer service! Now on to the details... When I say this was a last minute move, I really do mean last minute, and at the worst possible time in the middle of a season filled with hundreds if not thousands of college-related moves. As a result, most companies were booked out weeks ahead of time. I'll be honest - Elite, while on my short list - was NOT the first operation I called, mainly due to its then lower number of yelp reviews (despite the stellar nature of the reviews, there just weren't that many - something I'm trying to address here). In fact the first movers I called told me they were booked solid for several weeks, but after some engaging banter they recommended Elite and suggested I call Rudy. Now I don't know about you, but when a small business gives one of its competitors a big recommendation and a referral I tend to pay attention - especially when both groups are locally owned operations in a town where everyone knows everyone else. So I gave Rudy a call, and within an hour - yes, ONE hour - he was at my place assessing the items to be moved, providing sage wisdom on proper packing techniques, giving a very reasonable estimate, and then finalizing plans for a move including multiple drop off locations a few days later. Bing, bang, boom - sold. 5 stars on communication, speed, and efficiency alone. Rudy even texted me later that evening with some additional options for premium packing materials that could be left around glass bookshelves that I wanted to store longer term in a sealed facility and he quoted me the specific prices for any add-ons. Totally transparent, and very much appreciated. While the move day was frantic, Rudy and his crew moved like the wind: whether it was the exceptional shrink wrapping and padding of delicate electronics equipment and furniture, the shockingly fast disassembly of a large storage shed, or the hilariously efficient Tetris-style fitting together of objects in the back of Rudy's moving truck - barely leaving any room for air flow let alone loose objects of which there were none - these guys were clearly pros. Now Rudy will tell you he's particularly proud of the aforementioned Tetris skills and this came in doubly handy because as part of this move we were dropping by a big self-storage facility en route to my final destination. I wasn't really sure what size unit to obtain and was over-estimating what I needed - of course with additional cost to me. But when Rudy completed the final packing he accurately estimated he could fit everything I intended on storing in a much smaller unit than I had planned for; this saved me quite a bit in monthly fees with the storage company. Quite frankly, Rudy's crew unpacked those items and stacked them so effectively in the storage unit that not only did I have ample room to move around, but now I'm also guilty every time I go in there and move anything because I can't possibly put it back together as well! Reading some of these other reviews, you notice people say "hustling" quite frequently. Well this is a spot-on assessment - Rudy's crew (and in particular Rudy) seem to draw from some well of boundless energy and just do not stop until your items are all at their final destination AND also positioned to your liking. Want to use them for some minor interior decorating/re-design at your target destination? Go right ahead! Not a peep of pushback from the crew when I kept requesting that they reposition an incredibly heavy table a few inches at a time. Yes, they may have thought I was crazy and demanding, but they did it with a smile, a can-do attitude, and never complained at all (to my face anyway, they probably had plenty to say afterwards regarding my absurdly large and heavy reference book collection - my apologies for that, gentlemen). Bottom line, they may be a smaller outfit than a big corporate moving company, but Rudy/Elite Movers was responsive, affordable, transparent, efficient, energetic, deliberate, and ultimately very pleasant to deal with. I wish all small business owners all the best and in particular hope that Rudy continues to expand his operation. This is a tough, physically unforgiving business, but he takes the unpleasantness out of a move and shoulders the burden himself. Strong work! read more

At age 51, this was not my first experience with a moving company, but it was by far the best!

Rudy and the two guys who helped us move furniture today were awesome! Great communication during scheduling and prior to the move, and Rudy was flexible when our plans changed. Called and asked if arriving early was okay so beyond prompt. Really polite. Helped us move a couple really awkward pieces of furniture through tight spaces. Very efficient. Helped with a couple extra things that we hadn't previously planned on. I rarely write reviews but these hard working guys definitely deserve it! Highly recommend! I'll be calling them for our next move! (COVID times- they wore masks:) read more

Moving is stressful as it is.. Trusting someone to move your precious cargo is another..Elite Movers was referred to me by someone that had a great experience with them. I have to say I have never been as impressed as I was with Rudy and his partner..They moved my things quickly and with loving care... The cost was very affordable. Rudy and his partner had my place all wrapped up and in the truck.. ready to transport in a short amount of time..Everything made it safely.. Some went to storage and I feared I did not rent a large enough storage.. Well, Rudy not only fit everything in but, I still had 1/2 of storage area left.. I highly recommend Elite Movers! I would not hesitate to hire them in the future.. read more
