Seemed honest and straightforward until I Prepaid for a job, cashed the check for $400 but nobody ever showed up and now my calls are being ignored . Very frustrating and unprofessional . read more

I can't remember the lead movers name I think it was Ryan but wow I was impressed. First of all it was night with low visibility. He's very knowledgeable with efficient ways to move large heavy objects ( in this case ) a jacuzzi . No damage to my huge jacuzzi , no damage to my grass . His crew was very polite and smart as well. Everyone was helping everyone to get the task done with excellent team work . I have used them 3 times and all I can say is great company, great workmanship , very reasonable prices . A+ all the way ! read more

Okay first of all, we called and gave SPECIFIC detail of what was moving and what wasn't. After talking through what appliances, furniture, and boxes were going we got a quote for $485 for two guys for three hours, perfect. Anything left out they were to just leave out, we didn't need to be out same day and we planned on going back to grab anything (and clean) they didn't get in our time limit we had them for. Day of, they were supposed to come at 10am, we called at 1015 to ask where they were and they said one of their coworkers had a heart attack the day before so they were behind and were a man down. They said they'd be there around 1130/12 We went to put our girls down for a nap and they showed up at 1230, we gave the instructions of what things were going and what wasn't, they said "perfect easy we'll be done in no time" we then left to tend to our daughters and get the new place ready. At 2pm we called to ask how it was going they said "30 more min" At 3pm we called again "almost done" At 4pm I showed back up at the old house and half the truck was loaded but the rest of our stuff was in the driveway he said, oh ya almost done a lot of stuff in the attic! And I said oh ya no need to grab that just the big stuff! And he said okay So I left to go to the new house At 5 we call and he says "15 more min" At 6pm he FaceTimes us to show us the empty house (the house we didn't want empty) At 7pm we called and they said they stopped at am/pm for drinks At 715pm they arrived at the new house (a 10 min drive from the old house) I begged them to unload my girls beds it was bedtime and they were melting (we expected the movers to work 10am-2pm so we thought there was no chance the girls wouldn't have a place to sleep at bedtime) At 930pm they finally unloaded the girls beds, but both hardware to their beds was no where to be found UGH. At 1030pm they finished. Our friends who were helping us assemble the beds left at 11pm and saw their truck parked at the end of our street and the guys just hanging out? At 1115pm we hear knocking on our door and one of the movers had come back to ask us to pay our invoice! We look and it's for $1,900. Ummmmm I just have so many questions. Where was the communication about adding extra hours? They invoiced us for five guys working at one point? But only three showed up at our new house. They invoiced for 10 hours but we literally thought we only had them for three and were confused when they just kept saying "30 more min" What did they do from the 6pm facetime to the 715pm arrival at the new house besides a am/pm run?! It was made clear multiple times they were not to pack anything. Just load appliances and boxes. SO WHY DID THEY PACK EVERYTHING But also not even everything they left my kitchen and bathroom untouched? I'm confused Moving onto what they broke/lost Lost hardware for crib Broke my favorite pitcher Broke a shelf in our fridge Left the water to our washer on when he disconnected it and if my parents hadn't stopped by the old house after them, the laundry room would have flooded overnight Left their drinks from working all over the kitchen Don't hire them. read more

Manpower Moving has been so helpful to me for several moves. They always arrive on time. They bring supplies. They have positive attitudes. Always respectful and mindful about handling and moving my belongings. The guys work very hard. They are all about getting the job done right in a timely manner. I appreciate how flexible Clayton Davis (owner) has been with me , understanding that moving can be very stressful. No job is too big or too small for them. I have had great experiences working with Manpower Moving Services. read more

No show. Do not use them claim they have 18 workers then send a long text on why they can't show and want to show the next day. Go with another moving company read more

We had both good and bad points in our move of one bedroom suite about 125 miles. The movers, Anthony and Tony, were very professional and wrapped & protected the furniture very well. They picked up on time but were 4 hours late in delivery. During the move, a critical remote control (Select comfort bed) and mounting hardware were lost. The movers tried to buy the hardware locally, but could only buy items 1/2 the size of the original parts. They installed them anyway and assembled the bed with our knowledge. There were no other options locally in the middle of the night. Our dealings with the management ("Clayton" and "Brett") after the move has been the problem. We communicated sporadically by text and phone. They quickly realized the loss, said they had found and shipped the remote, looked for the hardware and offered to reimburse part of the fee. But, none of those things ever happened. After three weeks, I had replaced the mattress and moved out the bed. I have complained to the appropriate state agency and can not find where the company is licensed as required. That means it may or may not have the appropriate insurance when working in your home. I also find no Fictitious Name filing for the county. That would have revealed the name of the principals and a physical address, all needed for a Small Claims Court filing. But, I'm still digging. Your mileage may vary. read more

My girlfriend and I had planned on moving into the area, and drove our stuff down a couple months in advance and filled a 10x20 storage unit. We then drove down with another truck load of possessions and the process of packing and moving twice was enough to satisfy any desire to do it again on our own. We reached out to a couple different companies before my girlfriend found man power here on Yelp. They were able to accommodate immediately and schedule two guys to meet us at our storage that afternoon. JUAN and GREY were there waiting for us as we pulled up. These two guys clearly have worked hard over the years and they proved to have a serious amount of grit left in them! They had just finished an 7-8 hour day, and were under the impression they were moving a single room. They never once communicated that to us until after the job (I state that, because they saw the job, and didn't put it on us to feel uncomfortable). They followed us in, saw the unit and went straight to work. My girlfriend and I were able to sit in our car, and watch them load our stuff faster than i could hope. They moved at an epic pace!! They loaded up the truck strategically and securely, and I felt great about them transporting it to our house down the road. Once we got to our house, they went straight to work. Juan and Grey work incredibly well as a team, know what the other is thinking and doing and communicate effectively; and Again, work FAST!! I can't say enough how diligent they are to get the job down! They never stopped to drink, use the bathroom, wipe their brow (they were drenched) or eat! There were times I held my breath as the maneuvered tight corners and narrow stair cases with extremely Heavy furniture, but they moved everything without a scratch to our furniture or walls. We were certain to show our gratitude at the end of the move, and I'm leaving this review to again to express our gratitude for these two (Juan and Grey) to work well into the night, after starting their day Early that morning. read more

Saw their advertisement on craigslist. I had a small job that would only take about 10 minutes. I called and described it and was told normally it's $190 for labor but due to the nature and smallness of my job, the person told me to hold on while he consulted with the owner. He came back and said we could work together to find an alternative number. We worked something out and 40 minutes later, 2 moving guys were at my door ready to work. No fuss, no muss. Am very happy with the quick service. Great job! Thank you!! read more

Clayton was responsive and professional. The day of the move Juan and Gray arrived and from the start, they were professional and friendly. Juan asked if I needed anything specific with placement of items in the the storage and they delivered. Both Juan and Gray worked hard and efficiently ! They treated all my items with care and respect. I highly recommend them! read more

I've used these guys for 2 moves and 1 spa move. Trustworthy, best prices around by far, work hard - even overtime until the job is done! (See picture of them working at night to get job done !) They reply to texts quickly and get you a good deal. They also let me help move things, which was good for read more

We hired this moving company to move our furniture in Solvang. Our escrow had closed and they did not show up and return our telephone calls. When we finally reached them they said their truck was not working. They said they would come early the next day about 8am did not arrive until 10:00am and my husband had to spend the night in a motel. Their quote was $675 and they gave us a bill for $2700. We finally paid them $1,700 and I didn't think it was worth it. Do not use this mover. read more

I spoke with Clayton over the phone to schedule a local move. He was extremely professional, answered all my questions, and was very informative. Brett and Jared were our movers. They showed up, evaluated all our items, and started packing them into the moving truck. They were Tetris masters and very efficient. When we arrived at our new place, they were both very communicative about where we wanted all our items. I highly recommend doing business with them! They exceeded all expectations and charged an unbeatable price. read more

Brett, Chad, and Jared did an excellent job moving me from Oceano to Santa Maria. They were professional and took care to make sure all my stuff was packed properly and protected. I contacted two other moving companies and they were $500-600 dollars more for their minimum bids. I highly recommend Manpower Moving Services. read more

Amazing!! Talk about hard working guys! I recommend 120% over and over again! They were friendly, knowledgeable and fast. I'm surprised other moving companies are in business. They are the best!! Thank you! read more

Overall great service! They responded quickly, were a great price and worked really efficiently. The guys were a little late due to traffic but made up for it in their quick, confident performance. Also, I was coordinating this move with my parents who are older and not the best with Venmo/ online payments and they were SUPER understanding when we paid a couple days after the actual move. Will definitely be using them again when I need to move my stuff out of the storage facility! read more

I found this business from craigslist taking a chance without checking reviews first. I could tell right away on The phone I would receive Service worth paying the price for. Ryan and gray came the next morning a little later than planned and actually it was perfect timing! They arrived eager and ready to work and had no problem getting the job done in the minimum amount of time. They took care of many details without being asked. They are a great team and complement each other well. Another thing worth mentioning is Ryan found a wallet I have been missing for months with $1000 cash in it and quickly handed it to me. He could've easily kept it and I probably would've never known. That's all the savings I have and tomorrow I have surgery and will be unable to work for two months so the timing couldn't of been more perfect on that as well. I highly recommend their service! They made my life so much easier beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much for everything! I'm so glad that I made the call yesterday for help and you were able to accommodate so well! read more

Hands Down, THE BEST MOVING COMPANY & GUYS EVER!! Completely professional HARD WORKING GUYS! They went above & BEYOND what any movers I have ever hired and with such great attitudes & smiles! They paid attention to every detail and handled everything like it was their own stuff! I am so impressed and happy!! Exceptional Company I highly recommend to anyone absolutely! I would even hire them to come out here to LA and move me cross country! read more

I do not recommend this company for your move. We engaged their services just shy of two weeks prior to our move. Four days prior to our move, I reconfirmed the start time for 8am, and the manager responded acknowledging the start time. On the day of the move, this company did not show up. After three hours of waiting for them to get there--and after 3 delays--I get a text from the owner asking me if I still wanted use their services. The only catch? The truck was in Paso Robles, and the loading location was Santa Maria, CA. That would be another 4 hours of waiting. The critical piece here is this no-show cost me over $1,000 because our out-of-state move was dependent on this particular load getting to our house in Goleta, CA on time so it could be consolidated with our other belongings. Do not us this company. You will see several other reviews with this same theme. I should read ALL reviews prior to using them. read more

By far the best moving company I've ever used. Jr, Eddie and Ryan were efficient, professional and thorough. In our situation, we called Man Power very last minute and with a tight deadline. Despite the difficult circumstances, these gentlemen delivered top-notch service and got everything moved with time to spare. I highly recommend Man Power Moving Services and will definitely be using them the next time we move. Exceptional service! Exceptional value! read more

No show. Ghosted after conforming several times that movers would be available to help me unload my truck after a 2 state move.

No. Just don't do it. Move on to someone else. I had a prior experience with these guys and learned the hard way that they are all about optimizing revenue rather than giving the customer the best service possible. I scheduled an 8:00 AM start time so I would not be waiting around for them to show up and guess what happened? They slipped another customer in front of me and my job did not start until 1:00 PM. You read that right, 1:00 PM. our job did not get finished until after 10:00. You should not even consider this company. read more

After making arrangements to have help unloading a u-haul, no one showed up the next day at the scheduled time!! Two calls were made to get a status update, messages left, but NO RETURN PHONE CALL! read more

Excellent moving service. Quick, professional, hardworking and efficient! Way underbids other movers and gets the job done quickly. Knows how to pack, store and move. Men are very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Derek. Anthony and Tony were all awesome!!! read more

They saved the day!! I was so sceptical as the initial movers I had scheduled had canceled at the last minute. So there I was with a 20 foot truck parked in my driveway fully loaded and no one to unload it. Totally Stressed out as truck had to be returned that day I phoned several movers who were either unavailable or totally overpriced. Then I talked to Dereck at Manpower Movers, he reassured me job would be done that afternoon. and Jarod and Ryan showed up as scheduled and were extremely friendly and professional and handled all my items with care. They unloaded the truck in the estimated time and placed items where I wanted them. They went above and beyond and I will be using them again for another move next week from LA to the Central Coast. Dont waste your time phoning around getting other quotes. Call them first and you'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and stress. I cant thank you enough for all your hard work. You guys are the best!! read more

Do not hire this company!! They were hired to move my parents out of their home. I told Brett that he was welcome to take anything left behind as we were moving them to Assisted Care. He came when I wasn't at the house, riffled through all their belongings, took a carload and then never returned to do the move even after committing 3 different times. Despicable!!! read more

THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU. They are unprofessional and unreliable. They damaged and lost my belongings. They showed up late AND WITH NO TRUCK. Took hours to arrive so they can load and it took forever due to their incompetence. They took much longer than need to milk the bill. The owner Ryan is a thief and liar. They kept a brand new washer and dryer after saying for 3 days it would be dropped off. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!! read more

I had Man Power Moving help me last Sunday with my move. I was delighted with the attitude of the two men who helped me. They were fast, professional and very helpful. They wouldn't let me do anything, I loved that. They were done sooner than our estimated time too. My team was Gray and Tony, I would recommend them highly if you want a smooth moving experience.

Our POD loaders from Manpower Services in Pismo Beach, CA, Tony & Juan, arrived right on time. They met my daughter at the facility and communicated with her throughout the loading process. They were sensitive to her requests to take particular care with delicate and sentimental items. Tony & Juan were professional, personable, and worked non-stop with great attititudes. My daughter put it best, "Not one thing dropped or bashed into walls. Very careful. They were awesome. I was impressed!" I would definitely recommend Manpower Services to anyone who wants a POD packed correctly (and THAT'S an art!). Thank you, Tony & Juan! read more

I can't say more about Man Power Mover and the crew of Ryan and Gray! I was in a very tight jam and needed same-day help moving some appliances. Although it was the weekend and my request came in very last minute, I was instantly taken care of and given an estimate along with a time frame that a crew could help me. When the crew arrived they got right to work. Ryan and Gray assessed the situation, made a plan and began hauling a washer and dryer right up a flight of stairs with no complaints and the most extreme care to detail. Once the appliances made it up the stairs they surprisingly offered to install the appliances and even then began to clean up the packaging mess that I made. Their service and hospitality was head and shoulders above anything I excepted. If I ever have to move again Man Power Moving will be my first and last call! read more

Juan and his crew were very diligent with our move. Took great care with pieces of furniture, as well as being careful not to harm new flooring in home. Worked straight through until the job was done and were very willing to do as asked and go beyond to complete this move. We would highly recommend! read more

Horrible experience. Promised he would do move Friday when apartment available. Then messaged 6:30 pm on Thursday could do move now. I didn't have the apt yet. Said would schedule time Friday. Messaged several times, given many excuses, then told later in the day. Messaged again and he said Saturday, first thing and would give a huge discount for the delay. Saturday kept giving excuses- couldn't get truck was one and said no discount as doing me a favor (was I not paying for his services?). At 12:00 pm I finally rented a truck and family moved me. Would never do business with this company again. read more

I really appreciated the work that Jared and Brett did in helping us move! They were very careful with everything and did a great job disassembling and reassembling our king size bed frame. Price was the best around that I could find. Clayton helped organize the move prior and after and payment was easy though venmo. Will definitely use these guys again of I move. read more

Used Man Power Moving Services to move my cousin from an independent Senior Care facility back to her home. Derrick and Juan worked really hard, took very good care of the furnishings, and packed them into the truck and trailer. The main truck had broken down, so they had to use a truck and trailer that was open. Though the circumstances were not good, they made it work and never stopped until the job was done. They also set up all the furnishings, and put the bed together, so we did not have to do much after the move. Thank you for the senior discount, and working through lunchtime until the job was done. Everything left clean, put into position, and in good shape (no damage). We would use them again, and request these two super nice men, Derrick and Juan. read more

I used this company 1.5 years ago when I moved to Santa Barbara, and just called to use them again. My wife and I have moved so many times including long distance, and have nightmare stories on some moving companies. These guys are fantastic, and their prices are very reasonable. If they are in your area hire them, good moving companies are hard to find. For once I am looking forward to moving and not stressing it. read more

Eddy and Gray were great loaders. Tony also was a great helper when he came a bit later. They are actually going to help with another loading project. I am sure they will be as good or better with our 2nd loading. Will use them again in future if we need to!! read more

Excellent service and competitive pricing. They were flexible with scheduling and shifted our move-in up 24 hours when our pod was delivered early so we could use the weekend to unpack. Quick and responsive. Anthony's crew was very professional throughout and helped us organizing items throughout the house. read more

We got a few quotes with some of the bigger companies in town but decided to go with Man Power Moving Services. Clayton helped answer all of our questions. He sent us three guys and together they helped move all of our things into our temporary storage. They were careful with everything and even let us use some of their blankets until our next move. Took a little longer because we asked for extra protection for some of our furniture. They did a great job and we are very happy with their service. We will be calling them again for the new home. read more

Clayton and his partner exceeded my expectation. They were careful, courteous and focused on doing the job to my satisfaction. I am very comfortable recommending Man Power to someone needing the services they offer. read more
