Tortured these guys twice with traffic on the Altamont Pass form my move out of the hills to the bay. On time, fast work, great care. All you could ask from movers read more

these guys really are the ONLY worthy moving company around. They hustle, and keep an amazing pace while still taking care of your stuff

We cannot begin to thank Grace Moving Company for such an excellent experience! Their movers, David and Matt were efficient, polite, careful, and organized! They made our whole experience go smoothly as we navigated what could have been a very stressful day. The owner, John was always able to answer every question and made sure that we were able to get the most value out of our move without draining our wallet. read more

We hired Grace to move my parents from their longtime home in Murphys to a senior retirement community near Sacramento. From start to finish, the process could not have been smoother. The company sent someone over for an in person estimate, and all charges and fees were explained clearly and upfront. Our movers, David and Billy, were outstanding; they could not have been more friendly, accommodating, and professional. They went out of their way to meet our needs and were very gracious about it. Highly recommend Grace Moving, and David and Billy in particular. read more

I can't recommend Grace Moving highly enough. They were fabulous. Their three guys moved us out of storage in a day the amount that took eight guys from another company to move us into. They wrapped everything really well and moved it so carefully that nothing was broken or damaged. David, Edgar and Gustave were very personable and professional, and did outstanding work. Thanks so much to the three best movers I've ever worked with. Daniel and Toni Hughes read more

We just used Grace Moving Company for a short move in Jackson CA. What a great decision it was to use this company. They showed up on time and took care of business immediately. No messing around.. The Staff was kind, polite, hard working men. Thanks Grace for making our lives a lot easier and taking the stress off us on this move. I hope we never move again but we will recommend and pass the word on what a outstanding job you did for us. read more

The crew was very efficient and treated our belongings respectfully taking care to pad and wrap furniture nicely.

We needed to get a large spa moved from our street to backyard. We live in the mountains and it was not a straight forward move. At first we were thinking we needed a crane to move the spa, but Grace moving was able to handle the job. Their team arrived on time and did a great job moving the spa. read more

We used Grace moving for our heavy items, 2 sets of stairs to deal with. They were great, I have 3 glass China cabinets that I was worried about. The guys called the morning of the move to give us a update on time and arrived ad expected. Very professional, took extra care to wrap our items. Did a great job. It took longer than they expected and they were exhausted by the end of the day. We different lyrics recommend Graces Moving, they go above and beyond to take care of your belongings. read more

Grace Moving out of Sonora is the best! Scheduling was seamless with Laura! Justin & Chris were extremely professional to work with. They called us the day of the move job & give us an ETA. They arrived on time with positive energetic attitudes. Both young men worked hard, quickly but with great care of our home and belongings. When they completed the work early, they asked if we could think of any other things for them to help with. I highly recommend this company & would request Chris & Justin! Cindy 3/4/21 read more

We had a good experience with Grace Moving --- moving a storage unit of household furnishings and odd household items from Arnold, CA over to Wickenburg, AZ. Clay Smith was great to work with as the sales and estimator. And our driver/unloader was SUPERB! He's been working for Grace for 10 + years and is a dedicated, excellent and professional representative for the moving company. He knew all of our items, he treated them with great care. We won't hesitate to recommend to our friends (actually already have for planned moves in 2021). read more

I read some fairly recent reviews that were not encouraging. I took a chance and used the moving services of Grace. I couldn't have been happier with John, the estimator, and both Caleb and the 'other' John. It was a miserable, rainy, long day. They worked non-stop from 8:30 until 5:30 with no breaks. Never complained, were super careful with my belongings, never impatient, and a true pleasure. I highly recommend the Sonora crew! read more

Very professional, responsive and excellent communicators. Everyone was polite, courteous and moved very quickly to help us stay within our four hour window to avoid extra charges. Honestly, they were overall nice people who took good care of our items. They never complained about our steep driveway and numerous steps up to the top floor. Super nice family run business. They get my highest rating. Thank you to Grace Moving and their entire staff. Worth every penny. I just posted my review but my husband wanted me to edit to add this. Felicia's professionalism and customer service relieved our worries and made a stressful situation very comfortable. Job well done Grace Moving! read more

We recently relocated our home to a rural area and appreciated how fast, efficient, and flexible Grace Moving was. They stopped at more than 2 locations about an hour commute to each destination. Caleb, Sean L., Casey, Justin O., and Donovan completed it all in less then a days time! They were professional and courteous. I strongly recommend this company to anyone moving in the foothill or valley area. read more

We use Grace Movers to move from Jamestown to Soulsbyville (7 miles away) and we are very disappointed with the way things turned out. The movers were pleasant, but somehow my LG refrigerator got banged up as well as the scratched handle. Our hall Tree has a broken Metal hook, and our very expensive master bedroom mattress and box spring was torn at the corners and dirtied from the move. I spoke to the owner Sally, and was told to e-mail her the pictures which I did. She has never replied back nor returned my phone calls. It's been25 days since our move and I cannot get them to return my e-mails or calls. read more

My parents just moved from Sonora to Southern California in Ladera Ranch and we couldn't have been happier with the quality and efficiency of all the employees that worked with us. Highly professional and hard-working guys that started and finished the job with the same consistency of work. The head mover who drove the truck was outstanding and followed through with all of our requests. I would highly recommend this company for the reliability and work ethic! read more

Used Grace movers to move a large office. 5 star service. Right on time and hard workers. They even worked through their lunch! Seriously!! Great attention to detail. All furniture wrapped and left in pristine shape! Highly recommend! What a well run company!! read more

These guys are amazing. Very polite, very efficient, and caring. I would recommend them to everyone. They assisted my client from moving from her home to an assisted living facility. I was extensively happy with them. read more

Grace Moving did an excellent job moving me from Avery to Angels Camp. They were very professional and easy to deal with. The company sent a person out before the move to give me a quote and he reviewed all the options and charges with me. The office staff stayed in contact with me prior the to move and called the day before to confirm the time of arrival. The three men that showed up were hardworking, funny and pleasant to be around. They worked hard and diligently all day long until the job was done. This company is a class act. I would never move by myself again. They made moving easy on me. Is was worth every penny. I am grateful and I highly recommend them. read more

We called for an estimate and they sent someone out within a few days. John was professional, friendly and we appreciated that he followed COVID safety guidelines. On moving day, Chris & Justin showed up on time and got straight to work. They were also professional & friendly and they worked hard. Our move wasn't a big job, but it wasn't an easy one (large items! stairs!). We would definitely recommend Grace Moving. read more

I hired Grace Moving to move my belongings 140 miles. Sean, Chez, John F, AJ and Raul were fabulous. They were helpful, went beyond the call of duty for me. I would highly recommend them for your move!! read more

Best moving company I have ever used. They are affordable and really come through when you need them. I have tried other moving companies in the area and they charge way more than Sonora Moving. Berry from Sonora Moving took great care of my mom in her move. They did such a great job. The staff at Sonora Moving are very friendly and work hard. If you want to move without stress this is the company to go with. I recommend them to all my friends. PS. DO NOT GO WITH AFFORDABLE MOVERS...Worst company EVER!!!! read more

Absolutely the BEST !!! Did a great job and extremely professional. Barry and the guys do what they say they will do when they say they will do it. Don is AMAZING !!! Tom/Lynda Duross Twain Harte CA read more

We had a difficult move to try and organize. We were downsizing to a 1200 sq. ft condo in Pacific Grove,Ca, from our 2700 sq. Ft family home in Sonora,Ca, and we only had a limited amount of time that we were going to be able to be in Sonora to get the move done. We called numerous moving companies in Sonora and explained our challenges; of needing about 1/3 of the content of our family home to be transported to Pacific Grove, about 1/3 of our furniture to go to various charities in the SONORA area, and then of course, the inevitable amount of stuff that would need taken to the dump. GRACE MOVING in SONORA certainly gave us a great first impression! Sally was our first, and continuing contact on the phone. She was consistently friendly, helpful and creative in assisting us to find solutions to the specific challenges of our move. Then, on the day of the move, Chaz and John showed up at the appointed time. They were incredibly hard working people with great, friendly personalities. Unbelievably to me, we were able to get everything we needed accomplished in one day, and became fast friends in the meantime. The price they charged us was more than fair, everything arrived at our condo in perfect shape, and we will always recommend anyone who needs a moving company in or near Sonora, Ca, to use GRACE MOVING. They are not only extremely professional and friendly, their prices were competitive (or better) than what we were quoted from other moving companies who didn't seem nearly as interested in helping us complete our move successfully. They are definitely a FIVE STAR Business! They made a difficult day about as fun as it could be, and delivered all of our stuff intact to their various destinations. Thank you GRACE MOVING SONORA! Barb & Jim Gianelli read more

Just the facts, ma'am and sir: Barry McClean, the owner of Sonora Moving, did not tell his crew about the specifics of the destination site or give them directions. I had to provide them with Google maps and pictures of the site. -Sonora Moving did not provide the proper equipment to make the move to a hillside site with limited vehicular access. The driver attempted to make it up the hill in a truck 10 feet larger than the posted size limit. When he got stuck, he started knocking on doors at 7:30 on a Saturday morning to try to get the neighbors to move their cars. The police were called. -We had to rent, on our own and at additional expense, a U-Haul truck to shuttle our belongings up the hill to the house, as well as hire additional hourly labor to accomplish the move. -Although Barry had "guaranteed" a price, he charged an additional $95 an hour for both days, threatening to put our belongings in storage if we did not agree to his terms. -Sonora Moving charged us about double its guaranteed price, and we had to hire additional labor and rent additional equipment on our own. -Furniture pads were not used; there were many nicks and scratches on our furniture. -We have made many moves because of my husband's career, including 3 cross-country relocations. Sonora Moving is the worst moving company in our experience, appallingly unprofessional and so bad as to be beyond comparison read more

ZERO STARS. Slow, ended up having to pay for an extra hour. Before that, their boss called and demanded to speak to us, telling us that we "actually" booked two movers for four hours, when in reality, we booked three movers for six hours and that is who arrived. Three movers. She pressured ya over and over to give her more money until she finally gave up and said "we'll honor that you booked three movers for six hours" the movers themselves were friendly but careless. They refused to move our couch into our home due to it "being too wide" even after we measured the wall and couch and found there was four inches of clearance. On top of that, they ruined my mattress. It was a very expensive three layered posture-pedic mattress. It arrived completely misaligned. I was handed a knife by one of the movers and had to cut open the mattress cover and realign it layer by layer, covering my carpet in little rubber pieces from the inside of the mattress. We asked them specifically to bring in the furniture before the boxes so we could unpack more easily. This was not done. All of the boxes were labeled specifically for rooms in the house and they were put wherever. Bathroom boxes in the kitchen, master bedroom boxes in the living room. A $40 bathroom set was carelessly lost. I retraced my steps. It was not at our old home, nowhere in our new home. Just POOF. Gone. The bottom of our fridge is broken. My father herniated himself due to trying to move our couch on his own. Needless to say, it was a shit show from beginning to end. I blame the boss for calling her employees in the middle of a job to try and con us out of our money. VERY unprofessional and rude of her. Now we have damaged furniture, a lost box, and an injury. We'd have been better off moving everything ourselves. read more

I am a thrilled and completely satisfied customer. We are moving from Cold Springs to Twain Harte. After selling our Cold Springs cabin, family circumstances made it necessary to delay the actual move until about a week before escrow close. Panic set in and I called Sonora Moving and Affordable Moving -- the only two movers in Sonora. Barry at Sonora Moving called me back the same day. He reassured me that they could do the job (I called on Monday and needed them there 3 days later. He asked me what we needed to move and said they could be ready at 9:00 am. He didn't need to give me an estimate because the rates are $90 per hour for 2 men and a 26 ft moving van. The guys, Don and Shane, showed up at 8:30 and went to work. We were still packing! They asked what needed to be moved, and it was clear they listened to the answers. They were polite, friendly, and yet wasted no time. They parked in a very smart place to minimize walking, and that made them more productive. They were careful and caring. Both are real pros at what they do. When they were finished, I told them where they were going, where the key was, and that we would see them there later. We needed to finish our work at the cabin so that we would not have to come back up the hill. We are going to have new carpet installed, so Don and Shane were asked not to put anything on the carpet. They listened and proceeded to put boxes and furniture together in the uncarpeted areas like a giant 3-D puzzle. It was amazing. I was a bit concerned about the bad Yelp review I read, until I realized it was over 5 years old. These guys deserve to have all the business in Sonora -- we couldn't be more happy. read more

Don't use them!!!!!! Can't complain enough. For nearly $5,000.00 to move 45 miles away, we were supposed to have 2 trucks and 5 movers. They came with 1 truck and 3 guys. They didn't even know this until the truck became filled up. Two guys got dropped off back at the yard to p/u another truck while the full one went on to our new home and storage facility. Boxes were marked which to go to where. Several boxes were put into storage that were our cookware, dinnerware and flatware. We had nothing to cook with for 3 weeks with a lot of unpacking to do and when we went back to the storage (which was filled to the brim) to move boxes to find the missing kitchen things. I found furniture that was supposed to be wrapped in plastic laying on its top not wrapped and when I turned it over my bed post was all scrapped up. Our kitchen table arrived at the house missing one leg and I've found other gouges in other pieces. I have no idea how much more is damaged that I haven't been able to get to. On top of it, the second truck didn't arrive to the new house until 7:30 and didn't get everything unloaded until 9:00 pm (they started at 8:00 am). Some things are just missing from desks. We made about 10 pickup truck loads ourselves before they showed up including a 3-car garage which they never had to touch. I have no idea how this mess would have been accomplished if they had to have had to do it as well. No way would have two trucks been enough. They guys were nice enough, but this company definitely did not have their act together, and at the cost of our stuff and frustration. We did not end up paying the full amount, as we wouldn't have, but still caused a lot of stress and grief and we won't know the full extent of damage to our property until we unload the storage unit. I'm furious at the whole experience and absolutely will be filing claims, maybe more, against them!!!! read more

Grace Moving was very professional, polite, conscientious, and effective. The estimator went through the house with me and discussed everything, gave us State required information, and explained all thoroughly. The office staff was responsive, and helpful. The move took place amidst last-minute chaos (ours, not theirs!) but they were really nice about it all and pulled it off. The young men doing the heavy lifting were polite and seemed well-trained. The work-leader was pleasant and efficient. We were very pleased with their service, and would recommend them to anyone in their service area. read more

My husband and I drove from the Bay Area on a Saturday to a town in Calaveras county on Labor Day weekend to meet with Barry. Normally, we would not venture out on such a high traffic weekend but the timing of our move was critical and we had to move out of this vacation home in 2 weeks. Our appointment to meet Barry was scheduled for noon. He called us at 12:11 to tell us he wasn't coming, that he realized on Friday that he needed to reapply for a permit to move people out of state. We were speechless. Why didn't he call us on Friday when he realized that he couldn't' drive our belongings across the state line and save us from making an 8 hour round trip commute in bumper to bumper traffic? And, of course, we had to make another return drive to Caleveras county mid-week to meet with another moving company. I'd give him no stars if I could. read more

bad bad bad - canceled my move one day before my scheduled move out date. Totally flaked out on me. Evidently they do not have the proper insurance and would not get it, therefore my building management would not allow them into the building. read more
