We've worked with Holmes Moving & Storage for several moves over the years, and there's a reason we continue to call them. They have a great team, they know what they're doing, and they've successfully handled some very large and complicated moves for our family. What I particularly appreciate about Holmes is that they stand behind their work. Moving inevitably requires flexibility and problem-solving, and their team is willing to pivot, troubleshoot, and make sure things are taken care of. That kind of accountability and commitment means a lot to me. Over the years, they've earned our trust and our repeat business. Their team works incredibly hard, they're capable and experienced, and I genuinely don't think there's another moving company I would rather have handling our things. I'm very grateful to have a company we know we can call when we need them. Five stars and absolutely recommended. read more

I have used HVS three times and as a Realtor I feel great recommending them. My client had a medium bin with no lid full of her most cherished and valuable things including personal documents. She couldn't find it anywhere for two days and Alex, the lead mover was so kind and went over on his own time and went through the boxes. Lo and behold one of the movers had found a purple lid that fit to cover it and no one had opened that box. My client was so relieved! Above and beyond the call of duty. Plus those guys are so professional and worked so hard it was just amazing. HIGHLY recommend them! read more

A big WARNING. Do not use this moving company. They lose your belongings. Then when confronted, they straight out lie to your face telling you that YOU have it. That they don't and you must have it. No empathy. They don't even try to look for the missing personal items. I'd use any other company but Holmes Moving. read more

Started a business I needed a lot of packing. Firstly I was introduced to the tape despenser. Then the best tape. Bubble wrap, wrap a boat? Wow everyone wanted my tape gun..someone took the last one. Luckily I'm not moving ever again. Is my friend still growing orchards? Thank you Stacie Moberly. read more

The BEST! This is a family-owned business that has handled many of the most demanding moves in the Napa area for decades. Tyson Holmes, who grew up in this business, and his staff deliver the kind of professional, personal service you just won't find anywhere else. On top of that, they provide accurate estimates you can actually rely on. We researched this carefully and just completed our second move with them, this one back to Southern California. Helen coordinates things in the office and will help make sure your move goes smoothly from start to finish. read more

We moved to a neighboring city on a short timeline and Holmes Van & Storage was amazing at making everything happen on our timeline. We did a virtual (live video) walk through of everything and received a thorough estimate. And even when we had some unexpected hiccups with the timing of work in the new house, Tyson Holmes was incredibly helpful in talking through some options, being mindful of our budget. Throughout the entire process - estimate, planning, packing (we had them pack our most breakable and important items), disassembling furniture, putting it back together and the entire move - Tyson and his crew were SO helpful, kind, processional, and thorough! It was the easiest and least stressful move we've ever done. And not a single scratch on our freshly painted walls, baseboards, bannister, doors in our new house (or the old house!). We highly recommend Holmes Van & Storage. read more

This crew was so awesome! A move that I as very sentimental and tricky to navigate for my family, and they made the whole process seamless and very fast. Alex in particular has a special gift for this industry, and a professional approach that I appreciated so much. I would certainly recommend them! read more

Holmes Van & Storage - The mive is compleate! - Movers Near Me - Napa, California

Holmes Van and Storage was contracted by my moving company to come over to my place and pack my house up. They were just responsible for packing and boxing everything up. Katherine came over a few days before to survey my home and get an estimate of how much stuff I had. She was on time and prompt with following up. Katherine's crew came over a few days later and completely boxed up all of my belongings. I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I say everything in boxes. These guys worked very diligently non stop for most of the day. It always stressful when you have strangers basically going through all of your personal items. When they came across something of value they made it a point to stop and give to me. So it wouldn't get lost. I would highly recommend Holmes Van and Storage to anyone. I don't know how much they charge. However I am sure it's a situation where you pay for what you get. These guys were very professional and courteous. read more

Holmes Van & Storage - Movers Near Me - Napa, California

I had been the most loyal Holmes customer. I used Holmes to move locally and than later hired Holmes to move my belongings to their storage facility for an extended period of time. Holmes was not the cheapest alternative but I falsely believed, as a local family company, I could expect some level of loyalty and fairness. Mr. Holmes senior was my original salesperson and had lost his wife. It tugged at my heart strings I have to admit. Katherine, my second salesperson. Both seemed caring, but where did these people go when I needed them! When all was said and done I probably gave Holmes almost $20,000.00! I paid their price, paid on time, and excepted Holmes just-ok moving and service, figuring it was the norm. When I moved my things out of Holmes storage and to another state, Holmes offered me a deal with Steven's Moving. The price was very high, Holmes probably taking a cut. Holmes pushed for Steven's but I ended up choosing Chipman Relocation & Logistics in Fairfield. Holmes penalized me at every turn with extra labor costs, odd fees and restricted access. Even the smallest need had a price. Also in hindsight, prices were set based on weight, my belongings weighed on a scale belonging to Holmes. Choosing Chipman was the best choice I could have made! Chipman showed me what a moving company should be! I cannot fully express what a gem my Chipman salesperson John was. His price was competitive, his expertise supportive, his help available almost 24/7. He even arranged a second pick-up in Sacramento to gather my additional things at a very, very small price. In the office, Paulette was professional, accessible, and stayed on top of every detail. But my story with Holmes was not over. There were issues; carpet moths and larva in wool rugs that were stored in the Holmes facility, broken furniture, aged dents in leather, missing things. The Chipman movers that delivered my belongings had witnessed some of the damage. For example an antique dresser on legs, had been dragged across the floor by Holmes instead of being lifted, breaking off the leg. When I went back to Holmes they had an excuse for everything and would not take responsibility for anything!!! I spent hours photographing, documenting, speaking to various Holmes employees to no avail. I ended up receiving a check for $20. Keep in mind I had given Holmes almost $20,000.00 over the course of our relationship! Chipman on the other hand, gave me money back for transportation costs, as the load was lighter than had been estimated. I didn't even need to ask! I had the same insurance with Chipman that I had with Holmes but Chipman PAID, quickly and effortless without issue! I cannot go back and change the past but you can learn from my costly mistake. Holmes is a money-grabbing, unethical, dishonest, wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't be fooled by the sweet family angle, they will take your money and run! read more

We have just completed our move. The crew that worked with us was knowledgeable, patient and worked themselves hard to pack our things. They were respectful and had a wonderfully positive attitude towards the, often difficult, amount of stuff my brother owns. I heartily recommend them for any moving job you may have. read more

New too moving... and even that is to a different state...I spoke with Tracy to get an idea of what really is involved in moving out of state...She was great with general information and based upon the size of my condo that she would need send out an estimator for the transport of my goods. He arrived early, walk through and end of the day I had an estimate for the shipping of my "stuff." I called and spoke with Helen and she suggested to use a long haul company to the location in another state and mailed me the information the next day. Overall experience was really great! Professional, helpful, and very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I was so impressed with Holmes Moving Company! They were a breeze to book with over the phone, which I was doing rather last minute. The company even took the initiative to research the home I was moving out of and the new home on the real estate websites, so they had a good idea of what items they would be moving and into which rooms. The movers themselves were very prompt and started working immediately. They took such great care to move our items and safeguard them and were very diligent with pointing out existing damage to us. Our moving team had us moved into the new home with time to spare! The price was right too and they were the only company I contacted they didn't "start the meter" until they arrived at my house, other company's were charging from the time they left their office. I would recommend Holmes Moving to everyone! read more

Holmes was great. Robert Avila was in charge. They did an awesome job protecting my antique furniture. They got done in half the time estimated, so it cost me half as much. Very happy! I would highly recommend them read more

We had Holmes move a baby grand piano. They were on time, courteous, very careful and efficient. We highly recommend them.

I just love this moving company!! Kathleen (I think that's Mr Holmes daughters name) is so pleasant, she and her father built my trust from the first minute they came to our home for the estimate. Extremely concerned of our furnishings being moved, and the care involved, they assured it will be fine. That they do this all the time and it would be just fine. They gave options we could use if we wanted, like emptying out the storage we got for the staging of our home, packing dishes etc.. With upfront costs of this service. We didn't use this service but was good to know they were there if needed. We went from a 900sqft home to a 3100sqft home, and the team was wonderful. They showed up on time, energetic crew ready to go!! We have very solid pieces, all Ethan Allen, and not a scratch on them. We expected the best, getting the furnishing from point A, (single level) to point B, (two story). The movers worked their butts off, got the furniture in place in the new home, WITHOUT A SCRATCH!! We were amazed!!! And the whole time with a very positive attitude. If my partner and I were to try this, (one we could never) it would have taken weeks, and a chiropractor to follow! But, like the Holmes team says "let us do this, we do it al the time and know how to do it right", and do they ever!! Thank you to the whole team, you are fantastic! read more

Five stars are not enough for this fabulous company! We have used them multiple times for both moving and storage. They are knowledgeable, courteous, prompt, dependable... I could go on and on. Look no further for a moving company! read more

I contacted this moving company because they were recommended to me by Coldwell Banker. George, the owner of the company, came to give me an estimate for my move. He was quite rude from the beginning of my estimate and he continued to be abrasive throughout the estimate process. I don't know if it was because I was a woman or whether he was just having a really bad day. What was almost the final straw for me was when he said that he would refuse to move my grandparents armoire because he felt that it would not fit in the elevator. He had not even measured it! I told him I could not live without that particular piece of furniture and he said he would refuse to move it, period. The absolute final straw was when his estimate came in. It was over double what another company quoted me and the figure as far as the weight of my furniture was so grossly off that it was really not even an estimate but more like a completely uneducated guess. I had just used United to move to the area and the weight of my entire house plus my office was 5,300 pounds as proved by the scales. Even though George was only moving about 1/3 of the furniture into my new place he estimated those 20 pieces weighed 6,600 pounds. Outrageously off! Bottom line is that I used another moving company (Charlie's Wine Country Moving) and they were much more professional, much less expensive, REALLY NICE and they also got my armoire into my condo. read more
