    So glad we called Meathead Movers.
    Ralph M.

    We love Meathead Movers!!! We had a new bbq delivered from Home Depot but the delivery driver would only drop it on our driveway in Cambria. My wife and I attempted to move it down a flight of six stairs to our deck. We soon realized that it was dangerous and could ruin the bbq. We were stuck. My wife suggested calling Meathead Movers which I did. I spoke with Blake and explained our dilemma. He promptly gave us a quote and also checked on availability of movers. Lucky for us, movers were working in San Simeon the next day and that they could do our small job after that job. Today, Christian and Logan arrived when we expected and they quickly reviewed what we needed and proceeded to get their lifting straps and moved the bbq onto our deck. I can't say enough about how Meathead Movers. This is a quality company with outstanding employees.

    This is the second time I've used Meathead Movers and this second experience was even better than the first. The crew was polite, skilled attentive to detail and unbelievable how they handled large items down a bending staircase. The loadout was accomplished in less time than I expected and the process was painless. The arrival at our new out of state home was on time, and the crew unpacked the trucks and located every item we wanted where we wanted in the new home. Again a skilled, professional and great crew. I would recommend this outfit to my friends.

    2 trucks and 5 movers.

    The movers showed up on time which is a big deal. Unfortunately they were 1 person short so they did have to discount the per hour rate and took a bit longer to finish the job. That said, they did a walk thru and got right to business wrapping furniture and loading onto the truck. As their ad says they jogged back from the truck. the 5 guys moved everything without issue. On our 4 bedroom move, they started at 10a and were done by 4:30p unloading at our home 30 mi away. Overall, the team did a great job and I would recommend them without hesitating.

    Chris and Luis saved the day and made our move seamless. Meathead Movers will be our go to movers every time. Thank you Chris and Luis! You

    If I have have to move a piano again, I would request this same 3 person team to do it! Excellent communication overview of what they were going to do, they did it efficiently and got onto the truck flawlessly. These deadlifts ( of course done safely ) were impressive to see getting on the dolly and the ingenuity of getting the piano up the 2 stairs was fascinating and done well. This is my first experience seeing the moving of a piano and appreciated the work and the attention to detail! Bravo Meathead moving team! Thanks so much!

    This is what Meathead Movers left behind PLUS all the contents of our off site 8'x10' storage unit. Had  to pay (under duress) $2,800

    How about honoring your original bid! We didn't sign a contract with you to be a experimental example of contract fraud! You REFUSED to do an on-site evaluation and insisted that one truck would be plenty. Let's just call this what it is: incompetence negligence; contract fraud; holding half our property hostage until we agreed to pay twice as much! Sorry doesn't cut it - you took advantage of our deadline to evacuate and even suggested we find some other company to finish the job if we didn't like it--during Covid in December 2021.

    Meathead Movers unloading!

    The entire experience with Meathead Movers from start to finish was great! Professional, organized, efficient and easy. I tried to help the movers a couple of times and they said " this is your time to relax" I would highly recommend Meathead Movers anytime, any day, anywhere! I did my research and shopped around. Meathead Movers pricing was very competitive! It actually cost me less to move with them than to rent a Penske and move myself! Great experience...highly recommend!

    Is the pricing appropriate and competitive?

    No. They'll charge you as much as any other local company, but you'll get a very unprofessional result. So no. Stay away!

    Recently, I had to arrange for a local move to a care facility. The place recommended ASAP movers,…read moreso I called them to schedule a small amount of packing and the actual move. Two movers arrived on time, packed some kitchen items and clothing, and covered the furniture items so they could be safely moved. A couple of items had to be disassembled for moving. They were ready to go in about 2 hours. When we all arrived at the location, the two movers looked at my unit and started moving things in, which included an elevator and some long halls. As necessary, they reassembled the furniture, arranged it with some guidance from me and hooked up the cable and TV. It all happened flawlessly and in a little over two more hours. As it turned out, the place did not suit me so after a month, I called ASAP to come, pack me up and move me back to my place. They had left the boxes and packing materials so that saved a little cost and time. Again, a flawless production in a reasonable amount of time with no damage. The movers were all very nice and respectful of me and my belongings.

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.

Their methods were a bit questionable and there was some damage to my furniture. What was most unsettling was their comments. Although they seemed polite up front, I found some of their remarks were fairly racist. I did not feel safe and would not hire them again.

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.

Also, I needed to add that we asked for someone that was experienced in moving a piano. On the day of the move, two men showed up. No one knew how to move a piano. The two guys were not fast moving movers. They spent so much time wrapping our goods in plastic. The two guys were at our home for over eight hours. They had no boxes to move. We had done that previously all this was wrapping a furniture and putting it in a pod. The pod probably held about 3/4 of our furniture so we were then stuck with a second date to move the rest into a storage. So now we're paying for a pod monthly charge and 2 moves. It was totally overwhelming, and apparently Jay the general manager is a horrible estimator. So now it's move-in time and we're stuck with Central Coast having some of our goods in their warehouse so now we're paying again for them to move the stuff that he told us was originally gonna fit in our pod so it's a three hour minimum and two guys. Paid for a third move so now it's time for them to pick up their pod. They quoted us $475 originally for the pod return, but now they've added on a $200 restocking fee for their moving blankets. This company nickels and dimes the crap out of you. Do yourself a favor and call meathead movers they were way more. Efficient worked hard didn't charge us for travel time and gave us what they said.
