I was referred to Ian by another moving company since I only need to have one item(refrigerator) moved. Ian was responsive to my inquiry, asked, and gave good information. Some of other companies that I contacted didn't even bother to reply back because I might be out their range or they don't move one item. Ian is very responsive and will give you a detailed quote when you provided him with the item's information. Since my moving distance is quite far so it's not worth for me to have it moved. From my interaction with him, I found him to be good and fair with the quote. Lek P.S. I also received one other quote which was a little higher than Ian's. read more

Alright. This is about as good as it gets with last minute calls to movers. I needed furniture picked up in the Valley and brought to WLA. I was all ready to do this myself-you, know, rent the truck, get some guys and do it. BUT! I realized I am way past the age to do that stuff anymore. Especially after having moved all the old furniture out myself the day before. Hence the call to Ian's! For a last minute call to move furniture the next day? They were more than accommodating and waaaay more than reasonably priced. Some companies wanted almost 2 1/2 times to do what Ian's did. I am a now a devotee of Ian's read more

Extremely professional -- he helped me move some large pieces to my apartment, couldn't have asked for better service. Prompt, quick, very reasonably priced. I'd absolutely call him again. read more

I was hesitant to hire a complete stranger off of craigslist, but after reading such glowing reviews on Yelp I decided it was worth a try. I'm so glad I did! Ian was awesome from start to finish. Setting up a time was a snap. My move request was a bit complex as the large oversize couch that I needed him to move was a tight squeeze to get in my door. But Ian was patient and found a way to get it in. I highly recommend him for his prompt, courteous manner, quick and efficient skill and his very reasonable prices. Thx Ian! read more

Rudy and his crew were tetris wizards filling my 16' truck to the absolute brim with my entire household. They arrived on time, were very organized and professional and took great care of my belongings. Highly recommended. read more

Called yesterday at 4pm to book movers to move all my stuff out of storage into my new apartment the next morning. Serg and his team showed up at 9, waited for storage to open at 9:30 and had everything at my new place across town within 4 hours. Great service. read more

I'm so very impressed with the service Ian provided! He just moved two fridges and a very large hutch for me. From first contact he communicated so well, he asked the right questions and gave me a solid price quote. He kept in touch before the move, re-conformed as we got closer and showed up at the agreed upon time. He needed to disassemble the doors to get the fridge out of my house and it was complicated, he definitely knows a lot about fridges. He was very very careful and wrapped all of my items in blankets and plastic. Just as great as his work is his personality, he is a warm, positive, genuine person who was a pleasure to work with, as was the other mover Dylan. read more

Dennis and Tim were great, they made the move easy and stress-free from Malibu to topanga. I would recommend read more

Life is too short to deal with surly uncommunicative characters unless you just can't avoid them. You can avoid them when you need something moving. Choose Life. Choose Ian. Ian is the Cary Grant of the moverworld. Great service. Thank you Ian. read more

Used Ian's services to help my brother move in LA. It was a really easy experience. Ian is extremeley professional and gets the job done right. Plus he has a great attitude. A+++ Highly recommend! read more

Last-minute move and Ian's Movers came to the rescue! Efficient, courteous, tidy - what more could you want? They made the whole experience stress-free. I've used them a number of times before and every experience is the same - outstanding service. No hesitation recommending them. read more

Best moving company in Los Angeles, hands down. I've used Ian and his services several times and he was always in top form: courteous, hardworking, honest and fair in price and practice. Do yourself a favor and make your move easy. read more

There's a reason everyone gives him five stars. He moves anything you like - we had to move a fridge, then drop a sofa from the roof to our apartment balcony in order to get it inside - and his cheerful, no-nonsense attitude is great. Plus, he's more than reasonably priced. Can't recommend Ian enough. read more

Ian and his helper, Mike, did an absolutely excellent job moving a few rooms of furniture around for me. They deftly and expertly maneuvered large and awkward pieces of furniture through narrow doors and hallways, and were very careful not to damage the delicate finish on our walls. They arrived on time, got the job done fast, and were both very friendly, thoughtful guys! They even disassembled and moved a queen size bed for me, and put it back together *better* than it had been before. Not your average movers. I would hire them again and refer them to friends in a heartbeat. read more

I was surprised how a mover could have a 5 star rating with over 130 reviews, so I emailed him and got an appointment set up for moving a fridge from my storage unit to my apartment. When I met him there, only then had I realized I forgot the key for my storage unit, but he nice enough to wait with my friend there while I drove back home to get the key. He handled the fridge very professionally, lots of blankets and wrap. When he loaded it on his truck, he moved it in its normal vertical position so that the wait for powering it up wouldn't be as long. He had lots of straps to keep it in place, I had no concerns about it shifting or falling. When we got to the apartment he had no issue taking the fridge up a flight of stairs, he just needed me and a friend to help him push it up as he pulled. I did that because it would be cheaper, but if you don't want to do that or can't for whatever reason I think he has a team that you can have do everything instead. Lastly he moved the old fridge out of its position and put the new fridge in, which was very convenient. He can take the old fridge if you pay extra, but I had an appointment for the DWP to pick it up so there was no reason for me to do that. After a week or so the new fridge is working with no issues whatsoever. He definitely lived up to the reviews and I wouldn't hesitate a recommendation to anyone. read more

The best! I wouldn't trust anyone else. Professional, helpful and efficient! Highly recommend. I purchased a couple of things from Craig's list (couch and desk set). Everything was wrapped nicely. We drove from Agoura Hills to Rancho Cucamonga, my storage in Chino and finally Fontana with some traffic. Our interesting conversations along the way made the trip seem shorter. It was like talking to a good friend. 5+ stars! read more

Jeff and Jorge were great! They were professional, speedy and helpful. Definitely recommend them!

Ian is amazing! On time, professional, efficient, VERY reasonable rates, wonderful to work with! We moved my entire studio -- bed, dresser, desk, chair and ottoman, etc -- in under three hours. He is the best rent-a-boyfriend in the business. read more

YESSS!!!! Ian the Mover is on the front page of Yelp! Well shit...let me add another 5-star review to the collection. I've used this dude twice and turned a friend onto him who also used him twice. He has fair prices, shows up on time, handles your stuff with care, gets the job done FAST, and replies quickly to emails/texts. Wow, I guess I didn't realize how in demand he is these days, but if he's able to fit you in, fucking jump on it! read more

While we didn't move far, we did move onto a stair street so you can imagine how much work it was to carry all of our belongings up 50 or so steps all day. I felt god awful watching him carry my boyfriends weights. It was cruel and unusual punishment! But he and his coworker did it without complaint. I could not recommend his service more. read more

We used these guys to move two new sofas into our new home, they came on time, worked really hard and were super careful not to damage our sofas or of the walls on the way in. It was a tight entry way and they worked really well together flipping the sofas over bannisters and around walls. read more

Everybody needs an Ian. On-time, professional, careful and courteous. Ian and his fellow mover, Mike, helped move a washer, dryer, antique range, dishwasher, fridge and beverage fridge from various parts of our home into the garage. Such a pleasure to work with. I'd give Ian and his crew six stars if I could. My highest recommendation. read more

We were in a need of moving just our refrigerator from Pasadena to Glendale just a week before we had to move out of our old place. I called in and received a call back from Ian within the hour. Ian and the team was able to move our fridge from the old location to the new location 2 days after calling which was perfect. Ian and his team member were very professional and pre-measured everything before wrapping/protecting the fridge before hauling it out of the place. Communication was point on to ensure nothing was to hit the fridge out the door and down the steps. Even after bringing the fridge to the new place, Ian was calm and patience! There was no rushing us for a single job as moving a fridge! Would highly recommend Ian and the team if you need single items moved professionally and safe. Happened to snap a shot of them of our wrapped Samsung fridge down the steps being hauled away! Thanks again guys. If we need you again, we will definitely call! read more

Ian's Movers - Smile for the camera! Ian and the team hard at work with our protected fridge going out and in their truck! - Movers Near Me - Studio City, California

Ian did a perfect job. I bought a washer/dryer off of Craigslist and needed it moved from the previous owner's house to mine. It was heavy and unwieldy (at least in my eyes), but Ian handled it as only a professional could -- wrapped it carefully, strapped it securely to his pickup truck, and got it into my apartment despite obstacles like steps and a narrow walkway and doorways. He hooked it up too! Almost as importantly, he was really friendly and made a potentially stressful situation a breeze. His services were totally affordable, at least in my case. I can't recommend him highly enough, and would definitely use his help again if needed. read more

Update: Ian helped me move again in June - six months after I first used him. After using his services twice, I again recommend him without reservation! As before, he was prompt, helpful and really easy to schedule. Moreover, since this is the second time I've utilized his services, i'll add that I didn't felt the need to have a male friend there "just in case" as I have in the past with other movers. Honestly, ladies - it's not just about the moving - it's about feeling safe! read more

I read the other Yelp reviews and decided to hire Ian to move a large piece of furniture up 7 flights of stairs. He brought a friend and they did a great job, protecting the piece well with blankets and packing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. read more

We hired Ian to move a fridge from the second floor of a friend's house to a second floor apartment. Ian was professional, friendly, polite, and adept at navigating the tight elevator and hallway spaces with his fridge dolly. He also reinstalled the doors and helped us to level the fridge after he got it into place. He is also quite tall. I'll likely use him again if I need to move some other large items. read more

Ian is truly amazing! He cares about your belongings and it shows. He not only moved my washer and dryer last minute, but came back a week later to help me hook it up. A really cool guy who does an awesome job. read more

We moved from Palms to Lake Balboa, and Cosmo and his crew were courteous and prompt and took great care of our stuff. We priced other movers, and this company was the most competitive. They were efficient and hardworking start to finish, so I am sure we got a good value. read more

I needed two vintage arcade cabinets moved with some TLC. Ian was the right guy for the job. Easy to deal with, professional, very careful, and was fair with price. A+ read more

Highly recommend these guys! They moved my mom from Encino to NELA, super efficient, affordable and kept really great care of all her stuff. Been with these guys all day now, it's genuinely hard to find a great mover, these guys are great! read more

We hired Ian for moving a refrigerator last December. The reviews at Yelp were the reason why we chose him. He did a great job and was a thorough professional at his job. The place from where we picked the refrigerator was second floor with no elevator and had very narrow steps. In addition to that the refrigerator doors need to be removed before we could get this into my apartment. Everything was done without any damage to the refrigerator or the walls. We are a happy customer. This is my first Yelp review and was thinking about it for a while and at last I am done. read more

At first I was somewhat skeptical that a consistent 5-star review was possible on yelp, but I found out why! I had to move a bed frame from downtown LA to Pasadena area and while other movers either refused the deal because it had too little items or quoted me exorbitant rates, Ian saved the day. Ian and his collegue Mike were punctual and very professional. In and out, my bed was at my new place within an hour's time. Rates are more than reasonable too. Highly recommend them! read more

If you're looking for peace of mind, attention to detail, and affordability with a moving project, contact Ian first. He and his associate Dylan are two of the most professional, efficient, and personable individuals I've ever met. Arriving early to the pickup point, these gentlemen carefully relocated two trucks' worth of appliances and furnishings nearly 60 miles away. They brought the right tools, materials, and attitude, and their experience with potential snags and surprises turned what could have been a very stressful day into a positive experience. They respected my property, my requests, and promptly replied to every email and text message. There is really no reason for me to look anywhere else. Thank you again Ian, for doing such a great job! read more

Needed a Washer Dryer Moved from a Storage Facility to a Home for a client. Ian was very professional and delivered the Washer and Dryer in the same condition that he found them. Ian also has great rates for small moves. Thank you Ian - simply the best! read more

Ian is professional, personable, and highly recommended. I have used him for three different moving jobs and anytime I will need an appliance moved in the future. read more

Ian helped me move all of my items in my 3 story townhouse into my u-haul. He couldn't have been any nicer or more professional. He arrived early, finished early(!!) and wrapped everything so not to damage it. It was wonderful! I will 100% reccommend him to all of my friends. Wish I could use him again in the bay area. He is seriously worth every penny! read more

Perfect. Called back within an hour. Set up a time. Showed up on time. Was fast and efficient - he knows what he is doing. A great guy to hang with while he is doing his thing. Smart and chill. Brilliant idea and such a great service for those who don't need a full on moving company. I'll use him again for sure. read more

Ian squeezed me into his Sunday morning because the Craigslist seller I was dealing with wasn't available any other time. He hauled my new hutch all the way from Taluca Lake to Long Beach (even thought he had to be in Sherman Oaks by Noon. He was at the pick up spot at 9:30 on the dot and was somehow both super easy-going and efficient, putting me completely at ease (not easy for an uptight Virgo). I was a little worried after reading that some of these movers offer discounts for 5-star reviews and really are not that good, but Ian earned every star. read more

I needed to move a fridge from West LA to Hollywood and didn't want the hassle of renting a truck & dolly for a day or dealing with any of the sketchy moving companies that I always hear horror stories about. Thanks to Yelp I found Ian and decided to give him a try after reading all of the Five Star reviews. It was a good decision as he was excellent and got the job done professionally, on time, and for a reasonable price. I couldn't ask for anything more and though I didn't actually have the pleasure of meeting him in person, the first thing that my friends who were at the pickup and delivery points mentioned was how professional and helpful he was. Great service like this is hard to come by in LA, so a well deserved thank you and Five Stars to Ian!!! read more
