Scheduling was a snap. Good price for a standard move. Axl and his crew were great! They got to our house later than I hoped for, but within their arrival window. They communicated their status throughout the process. They worked quickly (as possible for a 6th Floor, through elevators down to street could be!). They drove to my new location quickly also considering that they have a 24 foot long truck. It was a little later at night when they were unpacking and we all had a long day I am sure, so we had them move the furniture to the rooms and leave the boxes in the garage. Unloading was very fast and efficient. I had no complaints at all. read more

FINAL UPDATE: Kane was patient as the property manager sought a quote for repairs. Once received, Kane was prompt to ensure this issue was resolved. Considering his patience and timely attention, I am adding another Star to the review. read more

They moved us from Redondo Beach to Carlsbad. Very nice young men, hard working. One of them said he works 7 days a week. They hustled but were careful and respectful of my things which were carefully wrapped and transported without issue. Got a good price. They were totally professional. They even killed a black widow for me, which is not in their job description LOL. read more

This moving was a great experience. I don't have expensive furniture and valuable belongings so I chose these company because they came in with the lowest quote. I was pleasantry surprised that they treated my IKEA furniture like antiques and wrapped everything super carefully. They even disassembled and reassembled items that wouldn't fit out the door otherwise. They were very fast and efficient. Everything went smooth. Can't be happier! read more

I just moved yesterday with Tim and George and they were so helpful, kind and efficient! This was my second time using Careful Budget and highly recommend. Easy to book and didn't lose or break anything en route! read more

I sincerely love working with these guys. This is my 3rd (or 4th) time working with them in 6 years. This time, they came through after our other movers canceled on us an hour before they were meant to arrive. Sergei and Andrei showed up ready to work, moved us efficiently, and ensured all of our items were secure for for our long drive to Vegas. Kane and team will always be my first call when I need help moving. read more

I would not recommend this company. Things got broken, I paid extra for my safe to be moved and they dropped it on the floor in my garage damaging the safe. This is only after walking it up and down my street trying to find a driveway they thought they could get it down to load it on the truck. To move a safe they had a basic dolly and the thinnest strap I've ever seen. They did not seem to speak enough english to understand what I was saying and packed up things I didn't want packed and had no room for things I really needed. They packed already built cardboard boxes that were EMPTY taking up more space in the truck. Upon returning from a visit to the truck they smelt of marijuana on more than one occasion. I have a very damaged dresser, dining room table and a safe. My table was in the truck on it's side, I saw a guy climb on top of it and heard it crack, now I have an unstable wobbly table. They broke a little table stacking a heavy box on it. They will not break furniture down. I have simple garage shelving they refused to break down and moving it without taking it apart took up a lot of extra space in the truck. Literally the shelving clicks together, I asked them if I could break it down myself and they would not let me. There was a garage shelf with one anchor screw only on top of the fridge and they had a long conversation about how to remove it. One of the movers called the company cheap on more than one occasion. My house is under 900 square ft plus a small garage and we had already moved a lot of items with our trailer and they could only fit maybe half our things in the truck. They disappeared on the way, took them two extra hoirse to arrive counting stopping the clock for their 30 minute break. I was not in carpool lane and drove an everage of 60mph on the way. Should only have taken them an extra maybe 30 minutes MAX. I had to beg them to wear masks and one guy still would not wear one. When I contacted the company with these issues they said are you sure you contacted us? Seriously dude? So I sent him an email invoice from his company and have heard nothing back. And I paid them cash because they charge more for a card payment. I should not have paid these guys but I was so stressed out and just wanted it to be over. read more

See all

I am so grateful that we got to complete our move with Careful budget Movers. The entire experience was seamless and everything went as planned. Kane was very professional and clear on the phone, and the movers he sent, Vlad and Costa, were very careful and quick. They moved us from LA up to the mountains near Sequoia park. They offered an incredible price, and the wardrobe boxes really came in handy. My cousin has already used their services and also had a great experience. Will definitely keep recommending them and will use them again. Thanks all read more

Today 01/05/2021 was the first step in my cross country move. I hired Careful budget movers to move me from My condo into a POD to be shipped to Florida. They arrived right on time and moved quickly to get all of my things in the truck. Once we arrived at the PODS headquarters they packed my POD perfectly and secure. What I really loved about this company was how " point blank " they are. There were no hidden fees or "extra cost " for moving materials. I highly recommend Budget Movers! Thank you to their amazing team ! read more

It’s Time For Moving - Movers Near Me

Careful budget moving company is amazing. First off Kane is very responsive does everything in a timely manner. I booked with him on the 4th he fit in for a last minute move today . The movers Vlad & Constantine were the best they work quickly , very courteous I wish all businesses ran as well as this moving company. I hope to stay in my new place a while but if I need moving services in the future I would definitely use this company again. read more

These guys were awesome! We booked them for a difficult move out of a 3 story townhome with lots of big heavy furniture. The guys were professional, fast, hard working, and friendly. I've used moving companies before and honestly I was very impressed. It looked like there was No Way everything was going to fit on the truck, and the dude kept saying yes we are fine and surely enough these guys did an immaculate job. Unloading was fast and easy. Highly recommend. In fact I've already given this contact out to a neighbor. Fair prices as well. SUPER RESPONSIVE. Anytime you text Kane responds in like 2 minutes. That's the reason we went with these guys in the first place. We asked for tv mounting which they don't do but he asked if we wanted a referral from someone who did. These guys rock. read more

I hired this company based on the Yelp reviews and they were great! My two bedroom apartment turned out to be a much larger job than they had initially planned, but they completed without a problem. It was a really long day but the movers were troopers, and everything got to my new home in one piece! I was a little worried about my mirrored side tables because I've heard stories of movers ruining them and breaking a pane, but they were very careful with everything! All my mirrors made it over in tact. They provided blankets and shrink wrapped all the important pieces. I was really happy with the job they did! I'd definitely hire them again. read more

Overall, I was okay with my service. I had to change my date and the company was very accommodating and responsive. The movers called when they were on their way and arrived within the specified window. The move took a little over 8 hours which I thought was excessive (I was moving from a 1 bedroom upstairs apartment to a 1 bedroom ground floor apartment less than a mile from each other). Neither of the movers were wearing masks and smoked around my belongings which I really did not appreciate. Additionally, my bed frame and box spring were not put back together properly so I had to do that. Even so, the movers were pleasant and the company was easy to work with. They will get the job done. read more

Great Job! The owner Kane is very responsive. I've been very sick and dreaded moving because of it, and Careful Budget Moving literally handled everything. I never had to left a finger. My new house was unpacked completely and I was settled in the same day. Love it! read more

Kane and team was awesome. Requested a quote from Yelp and he was quick to response. Took a little bit of back and forth to confirm the appointment and logistics but I was confident I picked the right guys after talking to him. They are the big moving company but I wanted to give his business a chance since it looked like he was starting out and getting rave reviews on Yelp. He did not disappointment. He thought it would be enough for 2 movers so I stuck with that. 5 hours later, careful packing and moving some heavy items. We were all set. If you are looking for hard working people and someone making an honest name in the business then I would definitely give them a chance. read more

I am blown away by the service I received. We had 2 men from Kazakhstan (sorry I didn't catch your names) give us very professional service. They wrapped all our nice furniture in blankets and plastic wrap. They were never idle and you can tell they were very thoughtful in everything they did. I saw how they loaded the truck and everything was strapped down. If we have another move I won't hesitate to choose these guys again. read more

It’s Time For Moving - Wrapped our piano and TV nicely. - Movers Near Me

Antonio and Andres were very fast, respectful, efficient and careful with our things. I hired them twice and would hire them again. I requested them specifically for our second move and highly recommend them. They also removed some very heavy/large cumbersome furniture like experts. They were also very professional and remembered all the special requests I had along the way. I would hire them again if needed. read more

They showed up on time. The move took about 10 hours. We were charged time and a half after 8 hours, which seems like it should have been on the company. The broke my chest of drawers. Apparently, their insurance pays 60 cents per pound. If I was told that going in and given the option of paying more for full coverage I would have opted for it. Instead a family heirloom was valued at 50 bucks. And after giving the guys a nice tip we got hit with a heavy items charge. Careful budget? It cost us 3 time what we thought it would. As far as I can tell i'm not given the option to response below Kane's response to me. So this second paragraph is in response to him. I wouldn't have posted any review but Yelp keeps bugging me with emails to review so I did. I wasn't happy with the move. It cost me 3 times what I thought it would. The company didn't pay their employees overtime, I did. The stairs, that was described to them in my initial request for a proposal. Heavy items. Not sure which those were, sure, some of them were. But what's the weight limit? They didn't tell me going in. Nor did they tell me that the cost was per item. The 3 guys was at my request. Kane wanted me to have only 2 guys. It probably would have taken them twice as long and I would have had to pay double time. And their insurance is a joke. 60 cents per pound? So if you have a vase that weighs two pounds and they break it, even if the vase cost you a couple hundred dollars, ll they give you is a dollar twenty. I'm guessing the chest they broke never got reported to their insurance. The dining table they put back together lost half its screws and I had to fix it. So no, I'm jot going to pull the broken chest of drawers away from the wall so that I can post a picture if it for you. However, if you'd like to give me the name of your insurance company I'll raise my stars. read more

I just moved and let me tell you, Careful Budget Moving was a GOD SEND!!! David Zholbolduev and his co worker were AMAZING!!! They went over and beyond and did it fast and efficient. I heard about this company through my friend and know two other people that have used them too. Highly RECOMMEND!!! read more

The guys came are very good. They worked hard and careful. This is the 5th time we used this company and always had good experience. Highly recommended! read more

Very friendly and nice people to work with. They are fast and careful about moving. They can handle all you tasks in a timely manner. Very happy to get service from them read more

Kane and Azad (I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong, I'm sorry!) were the best things that happened to us in regard to our move. My boyfriend and I relocated from Sherman Oaks to San Jose last week and originally we planned to use a POD until we found out it would take 8 days for our belongings to get there...from the day they pick up the POD (wuh?). As much as I would have loved to stay in my own apartment like it was a hotel, I went on the hunt for a moving company that could get our belongings up North sooner. After talking to 9 different moving companies, Careful Budget Moving assured us they could show up, load our apartment, drive it 6 hours, and unload it all in the same day. AND THEY DID. Not only did they get everything there the same day they were, by far, the most fairly priced out of all of the moving companies I talked to. I scheduled everything over the phone, confirmed the week before, re-confirmed the day before (I'm crazy), then there they were right at 7am on moving day just like they said they would be. We thought we did a pretty good job prepping and wrapping items, but Kane and Azad (sp?) went above and beyond to cushion our fragile belongings, dismantle our kitchen table and wrap it up, and make sure everything fit without any chance it would move in transit. Not to mention they were the most pleasant, funny, efficient, hard-working people we could have entrusted with our things. THEY DESERVE ALL THE TIPS, so don't be stingy (especially since their fees are so reasonable). Kane we would have been lost without you! Please come back to San Jose if/when we need to move again. OK THANKS :) read more

We're very satisfied with Careful Budget Moving! Not only were they very responsive via yelp messaging, email, and phone, they did amazing on the actual moving day. They were very efficient and careful with everything. Nothing was broken or damaged during the move. They were amazing dealing also with the fact that the new place we moved into had no elevators so they had to move both our furnitures and boxes up two flights of stairs to the 3rd floor! So glad we decided to hire them! Pricing: We're very glad they offered weekend rate that are equivalent to weekday rates. And we love that it was a flat rate! That included wrapping, blankets, and 2 flights of stairs! $89 per hour w/ cash for 2ppl and truck! Definitely recommend! And would definitely rebook at our next move. read more

We had an unfortunate experience with Careful Budget moving. Kane was initially really responsive and the movers were on time. He sent three movers to move us out of a two bedroom townhouse. We had moved out of something similar, three story town house and moved in with two guys. We had wrapped almost everything and moved all small pieces into boxes into the garage to make it straight forward. Covid - the movers did NOT wear masks. I had to ask them to put them on more than once and they only had bandannas. They did not respect the wooden floors dragging pieces of furniture. We tend to move a lot so were very prepared. Once we got to the storage unit they took their time unloading the truck. It felt very much like they were dragging their feet. My partner and asked if we could help and ended up pulling stuff out of the truck ourselves. They also did not respect our fragile pieces and dropped more than one box. The move ended up costing us $300 more than normal. They also tried to over charge and after getting in touch with Kane, they reduced down a little. If you have to book these guys try to get them in the AM. It felt like we were taking advantage of because they work hourly. I would not recommend these to our friends. read more

Moved from LA to Phoenix, AZ in 2019 and forgot to give a review until now. They were the most affordable and professional moving company I've worked with. They got the work done with no hassle all in a single day across state lines. read more

My moving experience was amazing thanks to Careful Budget Moving service! I was stressed about how I was going to move all my stuff into a studio apartment and they took the stress off. My entire move was under 3 hours! They carefully packaged and wrapped all my belongings and assembled into new apartment. I had the pleasure of having Matt and Pasha help me move. I have never seen such efficient, experience people! I would definitely recommend their services! They require 3 hours minimum and charge a rate of $85 per hour with cash or $95 per hour with card. read more

It’s Time For Moving - They have huge moving trucks and are cautious about where they park it! - Movers Near Me

This is from my own experience and nothing else. They arrived almost 20 minutes late. Which is already a no no for me. They finished 1120. Two hours and 20 minutes after. So do the math. The 20 minutes that was wasted arriving late was added to that time frame. But guess what that would not have mattered because according to the man even if they finished in an hour, I still have to pay the minimum three hours. Then why put in the advertisements that you charge by the hour. Just flat out say pay three hours. They also charge 10$ more per hour mind you for using a card. So if i were to choose another company again. I'll look for another one. read more

I contacted Careful budget moving within short notice; they not only responded promptly, but they also performed the job in a professional manner. They arrived on time, completed the job within the allotted timeframe. I will recommend everyone to utilize their services. Kane gets it done right ! read more

My boyfriend and I moved from Long Beach to Irvine. Careful Budget Movers was on time, had all the equipment to wrap everything with blankets and whatever it needed. They didn't try to drag out the time or anything. They were quick, professional, everything made it undamaged packing and unpacking, and a very fair price. Thanks to Careful Budget movers, this move was so easy and stress free. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend and will use them for my next move. read more

I chose careful budget moving because they were the best priced moving company along with the 5 star rating on yelp. I contacted Kane through yelp and he was quick to respond with quotes and was able to schedule our move with short notice. The rates vary depending on weekday vs weekend moves. You're also able to choose the amount of movers. I chose three movers on a weekday, which came out to 109/hr excluding tip with a three hour minimum (for a large two bedroom condo) They were very professional, courteous, came prepared, took great care of our belongings and never seemed to slow down through nearly 6 hours of work. And despite being quoted at 3 hours, they stuck around to finish the job. Kane and his team were great! I definitely recommend careful budget moving and will use them again in the future. read more

I was nervous using movers during COVID but it was an excellent experience. Why you ask? 1. I got a call the night before and we discussed the move. I wanted to do it in the 3 hours but Johnny set more realistic expectations which was 6 hours. 2. I was ensured masks were to be worn the whole time ( no chin masks) and they could remove only if outside at a distance from anybody else. All adhered to very professionally. 3. The whole team was very friendly and pleasant. They work so hard! 4. All my stuff was handled delicately. All furniture was individually wrapped. Moving sucks but they were amazing. Be sure to tip them! read more

Andrei and his crew moved our 3 bedroom 2 bath home in 4 hours! Andrei and his team were so very careful, efficient, and God love them for working with no air conditioning in this unbearable heat. Andrei took good care of his crew, with a very clear "safety first" approach. He made sure his amazingly fast crew took necessary breaks and stayed hydrated. We are so grateful they showed up exactly on time and literally moved us out of one house and into another in 4 hours flat! They were very good at carefully dodging my toddlers and great with pur cats. Forget your groupon mover-discount scams! Careful Budget Moving is a great value! read more

Booking the appt was super fast, Kane and Andy were responsive and they had the best price. The reason for the 1 star off was we were originally scheduled for 2-4 pm, and due to unforeseen event and delays fromthe previous clients they moved, we were pushed back several times, until they came around 7:30 pm. Jonny and Kane apologized and explained what happened and they gave us 4 movers for the price of 2 movers so it would be faster and because of the delay. The guys were super fast, I can't complain. Efficient and none of our things got broken which is very good. They finished in less than 3 hours including our drive time and even if there was a long delay, the service recovery and their hard work made up for it. I recommend Jonny and his team. Thanks again for all your help! read more

Very impressive moving company. There was a slight glitch with scheduling but Kane remedied that right away without any hassles. The three movers wore masks, wrapped all of our belongings in protective cloths and plastic, and worked quickly. And they were all so nice. The price was great and there are no hidden fees. Great movers. Recommend highly. read more

Kane and his crew moved my and my boyfriend's individual apartments into our new apartment and they were fast, efficient, and careful with all of our furniture. They also wore masks, which is important during this pandemic. We very much appreciated them! read more

Let me star with being very appreciative of the fact that you were responsive, accommodating for my last minute needs and transparent with your fees, you were by far the most reasonable compared to the others. Great service, punctual and easy to deal with!!! Thank you for being careful with my sofa! read more

It’s Time For Moving - Very nice mover. Detail oriented and professional! - Movers Near Me

Here's a shout out to Sargyn and Andreas. Very professional and courteous. I thought it would be a 3 hr job (their minimum) but it turned out to be 7. It was longer then guesstimated because they wrapped everything and took lots of care that no scraps or scratches occurred on the items being moved, the walls and the floors. You'd think I would be frustrated at the time but these guys weren't milking it- 3 bed sets, 3 dresser sets, 2 refrigerators, 2 desks, 2 marble coffee tables, and 6 sofas (2 sets) took about 3 hrs to load and the 26' truck was full. Then before drop off, they took a quick 45 minute dinner (no charge of course). Then unloading and reassembling. It was a long evening but they remained cheerful. Prior to the actual move, Andy helped with understanding the cost: $99/hr for a 2 person team. After 3 hrs, time is prorated at every 15 minutes. No funny busy, i.e. hidden fees. Like their name says- "CAREFUL" (quality) Budget Moving. read more

My movers were excellent. As far as careful and budget friendly, I think they hit the mark. I had a very tough job for them moving appliances and bulky furniture. Two guys got it done with amazing patience and great attitude taking my direction every step of the way. They didn't have power tools and used a ton of plastic to wrap things though. I suggest you dismantle if you have the time. Otherwise I'm happy with the job they did. I would have given them 5 stars but I felt the communication fell short with Kane. If you hire them you need to spell everything out and keep asking your questions until you get the answer. Calling seemed to have bad reception so he diverted me to texting over Yelp which is fine but don't take that as binding. You will sign a document that spells out some things like they are not responsible for hooking appliances up. Fine but I would have liked him to tell me no up front instead of relying on the legalese because I put the request to hookup appliances in my initial notes for the quote which seemed to have been completely ignored. I read the document so I felt their was a possibility this would be a problem and I did end up calling a plumber in the middle of the job which cost me a bundle. He misquoted me and also there was a 5% off for new customer language on the website he told me was no longer a promotion but the language is still on the website as of this writing. Also, I wrote in my initial request that there was a point A to point B back to point A agenda. You have to use some app to complete your order where I should have put this so I had to confirm when I didn't see it on the confirmation letter. He said he didn't know that agenda and corrected for me. I don't know if he was busy, stressed, or didn't read my texts carefully but makes me think he's not paying attention. So make sure you both understand the job you are asking. And reiterate to your movers they understand the job also. Would I hire again? Maybe but I'd probably shop around. read more
