Moving Forward is an absolute godsend!!! Look no further. From scheduling to clearing out and moving in... They cleared out our home in what seemed like record time... very organized, professional, efficient and kind! They put all the furniture exactly where we needed which was a huge help! We have a super heavy antique bedroom set and were worried about how it'd get moved and they handled it with great care. Cleared out our closets... I'm still in shock that we got it all done today. Incredible... worth every penny!!! Could not have done this without the Moving Forward team. Thank you SO much!!! read more

There are plenty good reasons to plan your move with these guys. In fact your second and third moves too like I have done. This third time we needed packing help too so they showed up in numbers and finished a 2br 2ba move from SF to south bay in 6.5 hours everything included. Pretty stellar work with packing and thoroughly protecting every piece of furniture. I've found the value to be very reasonable for any of the moves we've had with Moving Forward. Great team! read more

I've used MOVING FORWARD 3 times and each time they were amazing. Quick, efficient and safe. Their prices are awesome and they go up and beyond. They even disposed of much of my junk at an amazing price. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

4.5 stars. I used Moving Forward again for my last move back in October and have been debating writing this review because Luis, the owner, was honestly amazing, super friendly, and helpful when I used them for the last move. I think just some of the younger guys on the crew might need additional instruction or a tad more supervision if you're paying them to pack up your stuff as well. Removing one star for this review...I'd remove only half a star, but that's not an option. Receptionist was still great! She scheduled a walk-through for an estimate and there was a little bit of a mix-up--it was supposed to be a FaceTime walkthrough (because pandemic) but someone actually showed up in person unexpectedly. Not a big deal. He was super friendly, patient, and kept his mask on the entire time. Gave me an estimate to pack up my entire apartment, including materials costs (after like 6 moves in 7 years, I was DONE with packing up my shit) and transportation, and the estimate was reasonable for the planned work. Day of move: A team of three guys showed up on time. Two were younger, one was older. The older guy immediately went to work packing all the kitchen stuff, and the other two were responsible for getting all my clothes and stuff into the wardrobe boxes, plus whatever I had in the living area. My kitchen glassware was very carefully wrapped--nothing was broken! Amazing. The removal of the star is for as follows: - My PS4 and Nintendo Switch, plus accessories, were all thrown into one box. Not wrapped or anything, just thrown into a box with no wrapping materials or anything to cushion them. I'm very happy (lucky?) nothing was scratched or broken. - The toilet plunger and brush WERE THROWN INTO THE SAME BOX as my hair dryer and hair brushes. Nothing was wrapped. It would've taken a few minutes to just wrap the toilet plunger and toilet brush into a trash bag or something. That's just unsanitary. Even minus the one star, the guys did a pretty great job. My condo complex is a pain in the *ss to move into, and they moved everything really quickly. My TV was wrapped and moved undamaged; they dismantled my bedframe and moved that and the mattress downstairs quickly. All in all, I still highly recommend Moving Forward and have in fact recommended them to several friends since then, but told them to double check to avoid stuff like the two points I called out above. read more

The only reason I give these movers 2 stars is because of the courtesy and friendliness of the workers. The rates that were charged are astronomical. You are not renting the truck, you are renting the space at $3.50 per cubic foot. Not only that, if you have a bulky item, you are charged even more. We got charged $1000 for our bulky item. When it was all said and done we paid over $10,000 to move from California to Arizona! On top of they they would only accept a money order before they would start packing! Heed my warning and do not use this company!!! read more

I used Moving Forward's services last year and rehired them for a move again this year. I cannot say enough good things about the movers! They were speedy, efficient, and took great care of all the fragile things in my apartment (mirrors, tvs, etc.). Cheli in the front office is also so nice and always ready to answer any questions. I'd recommend these guys for any of your moving needs! read more

I was referred to this business by my realtor. I was struck by the friendliness of the person on the phone and the promptness of his follow up emails. The only thing I would point out that he assigned us only 2 men when we actually needed 3. Here's where the movers-- Elder and Luis really shined. They showed up right on time, worked efficiently and yet with care and respect. It was really enough work for 3, and it took them 9 hours to finish the job. Despite the long day, they never waivered in the amount of care and attention they showed to our belongings, to us, and to our dog. You can see from the photos that they successfully moved our giant plant. Luis even offered astute design advice in our new place. :) Elder is a ball of positivity and I would not hesitate to recommend this team. read more

Moving Forward just finished moving our single family home into a new place. They did this pretty much perfectly, and I plan on using them again soon, to move back. There were a few complicating factors: I had an elaborate home office set up, and we needed to store a lot of things in storage, because the destination house was smaller. They were very careful, but still smooth and fast, when moving all these things. And I liked how they made it pretty easy to set up the computers and home office when we arrived, because they only disassembled as much as necessary. For example, they left the monitor support arms wired up, just unplugged, and all the wires were in one box, so I just had to replug in things and I'm back up and online with work. They did the whole move in one day with a large team and two trucks, including packing things up. This is especially welcome, so that we only had to take one day off in order to get through this. Since it was a local move, they boxed up refrigerator and freezer food at the end, and we were able to use all of it, nothing got wasted. Very easy to communicate with before (text and phone and email all were easy) and during the move too. And everyone was very nice too! The cost was hourly plus fuel and such, no surprises. So this is exactly what I hoped for: fast, competent moving at a fair price. This company is an inspiration for how to do a job really well. Thank you, guys! read more

Just awful. So much of our furniture was damaged (cracked, gauged, scratched or plain destroyed). They also damaged our wood floors and the lead guy took pictures and reassured me that his boss would contact me about repairing it and so "don't worry about filing a claim". He did not. I emailed. Still silence 2 weeks later. Some examples of their incompetence: (1) Our pool table was professionally disassembled the day before Moving Forward showed up. I repeatedly told them to place several blankets under where the 3 pieces of the slate would be placed in the trailer. They placed exactly ZERO blankets under the three slate pieces. TWO of the slate pieces were damaged. (2) They placed our wardrobe boxes on the bottom below several heavy boxes full of books etc. Who does that? (3) Most of our furniture were wrapped in the middle but not on the corners where it's most likely to sustain damaged. The damage they sustained. Some of our wood furniture wasn't even wrapped and thus were heavily scratched. But our upholstered couch had several layers of plastic wrap. Go figure. (4) One desk and one cabinet were destroyed. (5) I told them repeatedly exactly what needs to go into the trailers and which were optional (only if there's room). So they loaded portions of things that need to go and things that were optional. Then they declared the trailers were full and they were done. I was unhappy that we'd have furniture and a home gym that's partially loaded so it's useless and worthless in two states. All of a sudden, they said they can finish loading the partially loaded gym. So they loaded heavy metal pieces atop our teak table without ANY protection. None. They had decided they wanted to go home and they weren't going to make sure our belongings would be safe. Then the billing. We requested 5 movers. On their website, it states $190/hour for 3 men and $220/hour for 4 men (so $30/hour for the 4th man). I confirmed on the phone that the 5th mover would be $30/hour as well. They charged me $50 for the 5th mover. Truly shady. And you know why they unnecessarily used so much plastic wrap (yet only wrap the middle of our furniture, leaving the tops/bottoms and corners to be damaged because they'd have to reach or bend down to actually protect the entire piece of furniture)? Because they charge an amount they don't disclose upfront for each roll of plastic wrap. Oh, and the owner claims he sent me a contract. IF he did, I never got it. I asked if he received either a reply confirmation or a sign contract back from me. No, of course not. Guess what? Then it's not a contract. It's a made up excuse to charge customers whatever they want because they CLAIM they sent a contract they never sent. If you're moving, stay away from this awful and unprofessional business. I'd take my chances and hire someone else. Moving is stressful enough without their shenanigans. read more

Moved with them last year and was very happy about their efficiency and pricing. So I wanted to use them again this year, however, apparently they don't need my business anymore. They respond to my initial request, I gave them all details, then they asked me to call them. Which I tried but nobody would answer the phone. Left multiple messages and send another emails, no response at all. read more

Short review - Amazing moving crew run by Luis. Careful, efficiently, friendly and quick. Use them if you want a no hassle, smooth move. Our move was long distance. SF to SD. Longer review - I can't say enough about how good Luis and his crew were in moving our San Francisco apartment to San Diego. Super efficient though the quoting process, professional and quick to respond. After we selected them, the reservation process was really easy. Luis dropped us off wardrobe boxes and doublecheck dimensions and furniture. They followed COVID procedures and wore masks all the way through and liberal use of sanitizer. The crew packed us up super efficiently into their 26ft truck, lots of awkward shaped things but did it really efficiently. They then drove it all down to San Diego and unpacked it all the next day, it was a warm one here and they rocked it. No damage to any thing in the move at all, he even found a tiny half inch screw from our bed frame in the back of the truck at the end and made sure I got it. A great crew, use them and get a very efficient move. Thanks Luis and all the Moving Forward team. read more

Awesome movers! The reservation process was seamless - they called me up back at 8am when I was barely awake and sent me a confirmation email immediately which seemed to be a great sign of their work ethic and efficiency. On the day of, the team arrived several minutes early even with our very early time slot! We were not fully packed up - had a bunch of random odds and ends and they were great with speedily packing up the rest. They were very respectful of our space and belongings, and used blankets + plastic wrap for all our major furniture. Really appreciated that they wrapped up some glass parts very securely as well. They also provided plenty of closet boxes which made moving clothes super easy. Communication was good, they took time to set up our furniture in the spots we needed them. We had a bunch of heavy stuff and I was impressed with how they navigated some tight corners without any bumps. Appreciate that there were no surprises with the billing - they explained additional costs during the call and charged only for what was used. The move was reasonably priced and totally stress-free. So glad we chose these movers and would use them again! read more

I'll echo the same glowing sentiment as the other reviews. If you need movers, start with Moving Forward. Luis was a pleasure to work with from the outset. He came quickly to do a free, in-person walkthrough to provide a detailed quote. He was also very accommodating in-terms of providing plastic bins, changes to scheduling, etc. The Moving Forward team is responsive on the phone and by text. On the day of the move, Luis and team were efficient, careful, flexible, and pleasant. They also finished faster than expected. I can't speak highly enough of the Moving Forward experience. read more

These guys have helped me move THREE times over the years, and if I need to move in the future, Moving Forward will be at the top of my list. I can't recommend them enough. Luis and his crew are flexible, sometimes on very minimal notice (like 2-3 days!), and they're efficient. They come in like an organized whirlwind with a complete tool kit for anything that needs to be taken apart (AND they assemble anything that needs to be put back together in your new place). They also bring padding and plastic wrap for furniture, extra boxes, and packing tape. read more

Luis and his crew deserve 10 stars! He came and saved thw day for my family, whose movers canceled on them THREE DAYS before their move! He helped them pack, loaded their POD all in two days and a few hours! So kind, courteous, and very knowledgeable! Luis can do any move big or small! Thank you so much for coming to the rescue Luis and Moving Forward!!!!! read more

Moved my voluminous stuff 2 hours out of SF to my storage facility. The 2 guys and their truck were right on time, courteous, both spoke English adequately, and they didn't run the clock. They worked hard and well. At the storage facility, I presented them with the challenge of fitting all that stuff into a partly-occupied space that needed some rearrangement. They were up to the task and we filled it out. The cost was basically what I was told it would be. The only reason I have not given 5 stars was on account of the minor issue my movers had with taking a few empty boxes and bubble wrap to discard, along with some sellable items like a good lightweight bookcase that just didn't fit. They wanted $60 to chuck the lot, and as they were going back to SF I told them to just bring it back to where it came from, as my sons were there to received it. I was paying them to drive back to SF anyway. It was a really unnecessary hassle at the end but a very minor one and if I could give 4.5 I would have. Try Moving Forward. They do their job well, and earned their stars and their tips as well! read more

Luis and his team (5 guys in total) were amazing. They worked tirelessly for 11 hours. They were flexible, accommodating and exceptionally competent throughout the long day. We had some extremely heavy items that they handled flawlessly. They wrapped and unwrapped everything. No dings, no damage. And, they smiled the whole time. I recommend them 100%!! read more

Moved with them today. They arrived on time, and moved our belongings quickly and efficiently. The whole process went smoothly with zero hiccups.

Don't hesitate to hire Moving Forward -- they are every bit as good as all the reviews claim! I reached out to several moving companies for quotes one evening. Moving Forward called me first thing the following morning and based on that friendly, professional phone conversation (and all of the five-star reviews) I booked my move immediately. Fast forward to moving day... Luis, Joe, and Francisco showed up promptly at 8 am. After a quick walk through of my apartment, they started loading the truck -- and they worked HARD. I was blown away by their speed and efficiency. They finished loading much quicker than I had imagined. My new apartment is a third floor walk up but Luis, Joe, and Francisco handled this like pros and continued to impress me with their speed and professionalism. They were careful with all of my furniture and wrapped everything very well before loading. Not a single thing was damaged in the move, which is impressive. The entire move took way less time than I thought it would and I'm so grateful for their hard work. They're phenomenal and I will ABSOLUTELY hire them again the next time I move. Thank you Luis, Joe, and Francisco! read more

Moving Forward - Movers Near Me

Luis and Oscar were really wonderful and proficient. All the items were wrapped really well and they made sure to check in with me to make sure nothing was left behind (certain appliances were owned by landlords,etc). Their expertise made my move so much more bearable! And once they brought everything to my new location, they made sure that boxes or furniture pcs were where I needed so that unpacking would be easy. I had been dreading moving despite my new home being great. With their help, I really couldn't figure out why I was procrastinating on my actual move. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. read more

Moving Forward is the best moving company I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and I've worked with many. They are affordable, fast and so, so, so kind. I've used them twice now in the last two months to help with an office move. On both occasions the keys I had to our storage space weren't working and the move had to be postponed by an hour or so... the boys were patient and happy to wait until I was able to gain access. Shout out to: Driver: Luis Helpers: Amikar and Salomon Van: Elia If you work with these guys you won't be disappointed. I don't have anxiety about moving anymore because these guys had it so under control. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Moving Forward came highly recommended by a friend of ours, and we couldn't be happier with our experience!! We had a lot of things to move, many of them very heavy (books! Cinder blocks! Cast iron! Tools!), and no elevator at our new 4th floor apartment. It was a long day, but Luis and his crew were exceptional! They worked very efficiently, and we were so impressed with what they were able to accomplish. This was the first time my husband or I had hired movers, but I know now that we'll never do it on our own again: there's no need, with such an excellent and trusted company to turn to! Their pricing was comparable to other companies I looked into, and at the end of the day the value of what we received for what we paid was fantastic! I would recommend Moving Forward to everyone I know! read more

If I could give Luis and team 6 stars, I would and I don't say that lightly. Luis and his men came on time and with a helpful, respectful and friendly spirit. They were respectful, accommodating and professional. Examples of why I gave them 5+ stars: - Extremely responsive customer service, they always followed up and everyone from the phone representative to Luis (the owner) to his men were all fantastic - They included wardrobe boxes for us - They were SUPER accommodating with certain requests I had regarding our carpet and a very special couch that I personally moved the last 2/3 moves but trusted Louis and team - NEW Trucks - very organized, i was impressed with their service - from customer service to their trucks to their people - really great - Luis, the owner was moving alongside his men. When I told him my husband was reluctant to adjust our crib, HE DID it himself! He was absolutely amazing and I will hire them for my next move. - I also appreciate how his men voluntarily rearranged certain boxes in my closet space AND suggested where things would go - Charged a fair price - Very efficient, Thanks again for your move and helping me settle into my new home Moving Forward read more

Luis and Byron were fantastic! They were quick, efficient, and so kind, making the stressful experience of moving alone feel like a pleasure. I highly recommend them and Moving Forward in general. The quote process was fast and easy, they confirmed via text up until the move so there was no question of wondering if anyone would show up. I found their pricing to be the best in SF compared with the larger companies -- book them now! (and bring donuts :-) read more

Hands down BEST MOVING COMPANY! If I could give Luis and his team 10 stars I would!! I have used Moving Forward on over 5 moves in the past 6 months and each time the team of movers are prompt, professional, reliable, and trustworthy. What more can you ask for in a moving company? Luis has gone above and beyond on numerous moves, even returning weeks later to remove garbage and boxes. If you're looking for a moving company in the Bay Area, you definitely want to go with Moving Forward! read more

Perfecto! This is my 4th move with Moving Forward. Louis and his crew are courteous, efficient and careful. Pre-move to finish. Did it all in 3 hours. I highly recommend them. Pricing is comparable and easy to estimate using their inventory tool. Thanks! read more

Unprofessional, discourteous and slow. Called to resolve issue, they left me on hold for 15 minutes then hung up on me. Stay away.

They moved our 3 bedroom house, including garage full of heavy woodworking tools in 102 degree weather without any issues whatsoever. We originally had scoped 5 guys and 2 trucks, but it became clear that we would need another truck 1/2 way through. No problem- they got a 3rd truck out in no time. My woodworking equipment is very heavy 600 lbs per piece, and they were able to manage it perfectly. I wish all services I hire could be as good as Moving Forward. I hope to never move again, but if I do, it will be only them that I call. read more

Luis and his team were just amazing! Super on time, did went above and beyond every step of the way! 10/10 would recommend! In the next move I will definitively call them again! read more

Excellent service! Reasonable price and they give you extra perks or discounts within reason. Luis and his team members are very efficient, careful, hard worker, respectful, honest, great work ethics and customer service! What else Right? Moving stuff is very stressful but they made it fun and simple. Luis as an owner of this company is very humble and honest. He is my go to person whenever I have questions regarding moving items and he gives time to answer your questions without expecting in return. He's a nice guy and I'm looking forward to working with him again soon. I referred his company to my friends and relatives all of them gave him a five star ratings. KUDOS Luis and team! read more

Take note San Francisco, this is what service is about! I've moved twice now with Moving Forward, led by Luis and more recently by Mario. They're on time, communicated well at all points, moved quickly and with care. They're friendly and knowledgeable, and had solutions for any situation. Their quotes are accurate as well. No hidden costs during the move. I'm glad I went back to Moving Forward for a second time, and I recommend them to anyone in SF area! read more

They did an awesome job. We had a crew of 3, they wrapped all furniture and took extra care with delicate items. Friendly and fast! A little expensive but would likely use them again. They charge by the hour. read more

Amazing job! Definitely recommend these guys. Everything was done super efficiently and professionally.

Luis, Francisco, and Memo were THE BEST. It was the smoothest, least painful move ever. They were quick, super friendly, wrapped everything that needed TLC, and made it all effortless. Arranging everything beforehand (contacting, getting estimate, follow-up, scheduling, etc.) was terrific too. Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Great name. Apt and clever. read more

Moving Forward - Movers Near Me

Short version: They're awesome. Long version: Wife read all the positive reviews and scheduled an appointment for an estimate via HomeAway, a 3rd party service, got the email confirmation and everything. I worked from home on day of appt and when they didn't show up, I called, and they said they never had us in the books. I forwarded the HomeAway confirmation email. Carl stayed cool and collected throughout the call and he made a new estimate appointment and assured me that the original move date that was promised still held. That was super important for us. Luis came by and said that he would probably need one extra mover than originally thought. I got a phone call the next day to confirm this and how it would affect the estimate. Received multiple texts reminding of the upcoming move date. Day of, Luis arrived with his crew and they were great. Had trouble with getting a couch through the door - no problem, popped the door off the hinges, got the couch through, replaced the door, in minutes. They were professional, they were problem solvers, they were communicative and they made it work. They deserve all the great reviews. read more
