It was a challenging delivery since it had to go up a set of twisty stairs. I called them ahead of time to prepare them, thinking that I would get push-back but instead I was met with a positive attitude and someone who was brainstorming with me for awhile on the phone on how to make it work. They scheduled the delivery immediately to accommodate my vacation schedule. The two guys who showed up had the same positive attitude. I had expected them to roll their eyes and try to beg off but nope. They patiently talked with me about the different possible options and then settled on a plan, being very careful and protecting not only the tub but also the stairs and the handrails. They managed to squeeze it through the twists and turns with less than an inch to spare. They placed it exactly where it needed to be and left us very happy. I was extremely impressed with everyone involved.

SO IMPRESSED! Had a baby grand piano that needed to be moved 3 hours south...was a very "special"…read morepiano as it had belonged to my Mom, who had recently passed away. My Bestie, the recipient, found Louie's and I spoke to Rita and knew right away - this is the company for me. It was also tricky because I was 8 hours away at my house and my brother, the executor, was going to make the payment. It took a village, but Rita was very knowledgable, adaptable, reassuring and kind. The guys came to pick up the piano and our realtor said, "It was like they were delivering your Mom's fine china - They were FANTASTIC!" the recipient also said they were absolutely FABULOUS. From start to finish - Louie's CCMs is a CLASS ACT and we are ALL THRILLED and appreciative.

I picked them because they were cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. They have 2 young staff. They did something inappropriate in one of the bedrooms.. They thought they were being funny, but I was pissed at what they did.

We were actually referred to them through U-Haul. After 10 years it was time to move out of a 1400sf 3br+, 2ba house. I guess we had a lot more stuff than I thought as the truck we rented ended up being completely packed from floor to ceiling (and front to back) using what I can only describe as some amazing pro Tetris skills. These guys took a look over the house analyzing everything that had to go into the truck and maximized the space efficiency at speed. It didn't matter how big/heavy/awkward the furniture - these guys worked together to make it happen at blazing speed. Stairs were not a problem either. I've moved a few times and I'd never seen anything like this especially for the price. I even hired them for a 2nd job of removing the 10 years of accumulated junk that we weren't taking. I will most definitely 100% hire these guys again and recommend them to anyone looking for a moving assist.

Granted, our move is a big one (California to Montana) and the quote came back high but was not too far off from two other moving companies (national moving companies). After we closed on our house in Montana, we realized that we would not be able to take everything we had planned so we went back to them and asked to remove a considerable amount of stuff and requote and it came back as $4100 more than the original quote that I signed. The explanation was that they had used the wrong contract when they originally quoted us. This makes me question the reliability of the estimation process. Sadly, I used another local agency for our out of state move and hope that they look at their processes going forward.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Not reliable or trustworthy. The company…read morewas 3 hours late on moving day. After stating that they knew how to dismantle and move our Sleep Number mattress, they dismantled and moved it incorrectly. This resulted in charges for a service call to repair and set up the mattress correctly. Additionally, these movers left the electric cords needed back at our residence, so we had to return home to find them. We are still waiting for the technician and have not been able to sleep in our bed since we moved. The movers left a large item at our residence, which they were asked to move. That results in another trip back to the residence and a rental vehicle to get it here. We reached out to the company 3 times on moving day to seek assistance, and NO ONE would return our call, and still haven't responded. Finally, they charged our credit card for "extras," without sending an invoice, and without authorization.

This was by far the most unprofessional and abusive moving company I have ever dealt with, and I implore you AVOID this company at all costs. If you want your items and furniture to be taken care of and arrive UNDAMAGED or ARRIVE AT ALL (as they did not for me), HIRE ANY OTHER MOVING COMPANY!! They do not care about you or your belongings. Here's a snapshot of my experience: I hired them to move my belongings from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco. From the very beginning in San Luis Obispo, the movers did not use blankets, padding, or any materials to meaningfully protect my items. I watched them place my dresser, nightstand, bed frame, and other wood furniture DIRECTLY onto the concrete sidewalk, then stack everything in the truck bare. By the time my items were delivered in San Francisco, nearly every major piece of furniture was damaged. My dresser and nightstand had multiple chips and scratches, my bed frame and headboard were gouged, my refrigerator had a large dent, and my picture frames were scuffed and chipped, and ripped, some of them irreplaceable. In addition to the damage, some of my belongings never arrived. My rug and lampshade are still missing to this day. During delivery, the movers also brought out items that did not belong to me, including a mattress and multiple framed pictures. I informed them immediately that the mattress was not mine and it was removed, but I was left with another customer's picture frame. This raises serious concerns for me about how customers' property was being handled. The most egregious part of this move occurred during delivery in San Francisco. After the movers arrived, saw the apartment, and began unloading, they did not raise any issue or mention any additional charges. However, halfway through unloading, they demanded an additional $412 via a Change Order and refused to continue carrying my belongings upstairs unless I signed and paid immediately. I was told my items would be left in the lobby if I did not agree. This happened in the middle of the move, after a significant portion of my belongings had already been brought into the apartment. I felt I had no practical choice but to sign in order to complete delivery, and I believe the way this fee was imposed mid-move was misleading, coercive, and improper. When I politely pointed out some of the damage, one of the movers, became hostile. He shouted at me, saying "F*** you man, I'm done," before storming out of my apartment. He left my mattress lying on the floor and the headboard loose and improperly installed. The other mover offered minimal help before also leaving, but the job was incomplete and I was left to deal with the situation on my own. After the move, I tried multiple times to reach the company's manager, Kevin, who was my main point of contact. I left several voicemails explaining that I wanted to discuss the serious issues I had faced. He never called me back--and has yet to do so. Adding insult to injury, before all of this, when I asked to reschedule my delivery from Sunday to Monday, which happened to be Labor Day, the company agreed no problem but sent me a text saying, "Yes, we can do that, no problem, but please tip our guys well as they'll be giving up their Labor Day." Asking for a tip in advance of service is highly unprofessional. I would happily tip for a job well done, but this could not have been more of a disastrous move. In the end, my total charges increased from the original $2,100 "Not to Exceed" estimate to $2,500 after the mid-move Change Order. My belongings were damaged and some items were missing, one of the movers verbally berated me and left the job incomplete, and I was required to sign and pay an additional fee in the middle of unloading in order to complete delivery. The company has since failed to meaningfully communicate directly with me. I have filed formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services. This company's conduct during my move was reckless and abusive, and in my experience highly misleading. If you value your belongings, your money, or your peace of mind, I strongly recommend choosing another company. I have attached photos showing the lack of protection and the resulting damage so others can make an informed decision.

I told him twice that the main reason we needed movers was for a very heavy sofa, and that we were moving into a 2nd floor apt, so we'd need 2 men for sure. Well, moving day they were supposed to arrive at 1:00, that came and went, and I called at 1:20 and the guy said he was "just about" to call me- one of his guys had lost his keys, and someone was going to MAKE him a key and bring it to him in 30 minutes, then he'd be on his way. Well, this was pretty unacceptable, but no other moving companies were available that day so I didn't have much choice but to wait. Almost 2 HOURS later, nothing. I called back and left a message (no one answered). I called back again 30 min. later and the guy said "oh, Matt's not there yet"? I said no, he said he'd call me right back, which he did a few minutes later, and told me he had just fired the mover who was going to help us. I said "we agreed on 2 movers, I told you we're moving a heavy couch up a flight of stairs, how was one person going to do that?" He said for a small move like ours, only one man is needed. He then told me he was in the middle of another, larger move, and didn't have anyone to send. I wasted 3 hours of daylight and my truck rental waiting for Affordable Moving & Hauling. Don't let them waste your time too.
