This was my first time hiring a moving company and Moving Forward were exceptional. The team was careful, efficient, and professional. They showed up within the window provided and had everything packed and unloaded at my new residence in 3 hours. As soon as they arrived and started meticulously wrapping my furniture to prevent it from being damaged, I knew I was in good hands. Would give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could! read more

The team was absolutely amazing! They were punctual, very careful, and helped with everything I needed. They worked extremely hard and were able to move our entire house in 1 day. They are definitely the best moving crew!!! read more

We finally moved our stuff from the storage to our new home. The day started easy since I rented drive-in unit Luis and the guys came on time and started to load. Very organize and careful team. When we got our home it turned out our driveway didn't let the 22' truck access to park close to the home. The crew had to work harder to move the things into the house or garage but they still have great attitude. We finally finished. Thanks for making this easy guys. I hope to work with you all again but not too soon ;) If you need to move don't look further hire this guys. You won't regret. read more

Yelp needs to sort this place higher, for real. We were a little skeptical given too many positive reviews, that sounds ridiculous, but true. My wife asked quite a few questions and we gave it a shot. They exceeded expectations! For example, we had two pieces of furniture that were damaged by movers last time. Francisco fixed them for us, including re-glueing a leg. Our new house was admittedly difficult to move in to with narrow doors and hallways. They took care and got everything in without damaging walls, frames, and furniture. read more

Wonderful experience with Moving Forward! Truly exceeded my expectations. From my first call with Amilcar, to packing day, to final delivery of my belongings at my new home in San Diego, Amilcar, Luis, Mario and the rest of the crew were nothing but professional, prompt, polite, hard working and extremely detail oriented. Everything was carefully packed and logged and arrived perfectly intact. Couldn't be happier with the service and would not hesitate to enthusiastically recommend them! Thank you Moving Forward! read more

Gee, I hope I never have to move again. But if I do, I would hire Moving Forward again with no hesitation. If you are on the fence about calling a new business without a ton of reviews, rest assured that you will be in great hands with Moving Forward. Luis and his two guys were so kind and respectful, and darn efficient. It was hard to stomach the hourly rate, so I declined packing services and regretted that. I wish I had let them pack everything remaining in our apartment. It would have taken them 20 minutes, instead of taking us 2-3 hours the next day. They were extremely patient with my three year old, and reassembled her toddler bed and our beds very fast. The mover pointed out an exposed outlet in our new house, where I asked him to assemble the toddler bed. Moving is hectic, and we did not have much cash between us to give a decent tip. I gave them what we had, and then sent more a few days later. They were so helpful, I did not want them to think we did not appreciate them. The best part about moving was Moving Forward! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Luis and his team. My office found a last minute new office, and we seriously had to move in less than a week. Luis was great, and dropped of containers a few days before the move so I could get everything packed before hand. These guys were machines, we had moved out of the old office space and into the new office space in 5 hours. (Office of 12 people, desks, chairs, couches, kitchen stuff, etc) Everything arrived in perfect condition, and the guys were so nice. Because our move was so last minute I wasn't able to get permits from the city, but Luis made me feel like we could handle anything, and we did! If you're looking for fast, friendly, and really capable people then you should definitely use Moving Forward. Thank you so much guys! read more

Luis and his team were absolutely amazing during our recent move! They were so careful with our furniture and the walls in our new place. They did everything with such professionalism, were extremely efficient and super nice while doing it. My husband and I are beyond pleased with Moving Forward and will definitely be using them again for any future moves! read more

I had a great experience with Luis Aviles, Owner of Moving Forward. Last minute I had to do a large office move and Mr. Aviles was able to help out. Even though it was last minute he was more than accommodating. Prior to the move I had done some homework and compared pricing from several moving companies. Not only was he able to match his competitors but he also came down slightly in price to secure a contract with us! He and his moving crew were punctual, courteous and professional. Luckily it was a "full service" moving company so they were able to provide packing services also (i.e. boxes, packing materials, etc.). I cannot recommend Mr. Aviles enough! If he was able to move an office as large a scale as ours, I'm sure he would have no problems handling any size moves. Thank you again Mr. Aviles and I look forward to doing business with you again! read more

Although moving forward is a new company, the owner Luis has several years of moving experience. This was the second time I've used his services. And once again he arrived on time, he was professional, his truck was well stocked with straps, empty moving boxes and some basic tools (which would come in handy later). We had difficulty in getting the couch inside the front door. No matter how we angled it it wasn't gonna happen. Luis grabbed a screw driver and a Hammer and removed the front door. The couch made it in! I was confident i choose the right man and company for my move! read more

Moving sucks. Moving sucks A LOT! And, the sucking starts well before the move. Preparing for a move also sucks A LOT! That is why you need Luis. He made our move so much easier. His help started with packing and preparation tips. Then, on the day of the move, Luis and his crew were punctual. They worked diligently to load us up and get us on the road to our new home. Our stuff arrived safe and sound, and it was smoothly unloaded into the house. Luis and his crew were also fair, honest, and extremely professional. His rates are VERY competitive. Luis also helped us out of a bind. There was a mix-up with Salvation Army, and we learned after the move started that they couldn't pick up some of the big, heavy furniture we had left behind. We were supposed to be out of the apartment the next day. No problem....because we had Luis! He heard us talking with the charity. The next day, he and his crew removed the furniture. They donated what they could, and took the rest to the dump. We were EXTREMELY impressed! In short, Luis is dedicated to a good moving experience and pleasing his customers. (I was not given any compensation for this posting.) read more

5 stars is just not enough for this review. Luis and his team are absolutely fantastic! They managed to help me move on short notice and were super professional, everything was wrapped, boxed and carefully handled. If you're going through the reviews wondering if you should hire them, don't think twice. Not hiring them is a mistake! Best moving company out there. read more

Hello, This was the 2nd time for me. Starting with the initial phone call for scheduling that was handled expertly by Andy - and continuing all through the move project with Luis and Mario - first rate service all the way! Only improvement might be to have less than 3-hour minimum for the very small jobs that still need your professional touch... Thank you! Brian read more

This moving company is fantastic! I wanted a mid-size company--not a large distant company and not just a couple of guys with a truck. The front office staff were very responsive and when I said I have a lot of stuff (and they shouldn't bid it as a 2 bedroom place) Louis came out for a free estimate. He's glad he did because he confirmed that I have a lot of stuff! A crew came out the day before the actual move to wrap antiques and special furniture in pads and to shrink wrap the TV, printers, and miscellaneous other stuff. The moving day was a long one and they were great about putting everything in the room indicated on the box. They set up the bed properly and were cheerful and hard-working throughout the day. I'd highly recommend this company. read more

Amazing experience with Luis and Juan. They moved our storage unit from Bay Area to Seattle. Everything from getting a quote to communicating about the move was 5 stars. They're very experienced and took such good care with our items. We so appreciate how kind, friendly, and hardworking they are. Not to mention I got 4 quotes from other companies and theirs was the best! Highly highly recommend. read more

when I had moving forward transport my household, I was impressed by their professionalism, and honesty. I was amazed how efficiency the movers packed and unpacked my belongings..and without a scratch,! I used another company a few years ago, and some of my audio collection went missing, along with scratches on my table legs. I would definitely use them again.... read more

Value- 5/5 Price competitive with any other moving company. Pretty much all you can ask for Service- 5/5 Stellar service. Showed up promptly on time. Moved boxes extremely fast. Wrapped fragile items very well and moved them with extreme care. Very fast communication and checked to make sure there was nothing else they could do to help before they left. Luis will always be my first call now read more

I was very pleased with this moving company. They were very professional, friendly and respectful. They made sure that they didnt cause any damage and got the job done well. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again. Thank you guys so much for your hard work. read more

Everything went very well, the price was low and included packing for a much better price than every other mover except for one which had bad reviews. The only small snafu was the office that scheduled the move told us the packing and loading would be on two different days but it was on the same day, which meant the movers would be arriving at our storage unit at the destination many hours before we expected them. Thankfully we were able to get parents to show up there to meet them at the unit. It seems to me the dispatch and sales should make sure the exact moving plan is agreed upon and confirmed to avoid this kind of problem. However, the mover team did say they would have waited for us to arrive much later to let them in, which was nice, but we would have felt bad for them waiting there for such a long time. This was the only minor issue on an otherwise great move. Movers were friendly, professional, and quick. We thought they were great. Would use this company again. read more

The move was great. " Moving forward " helped make it easy and really took care of my stuff.

These guys were promptly on time and gave an estimate down to the t! I was so impressed with their efficiency and ability to move us so rapidly. I initially called on Thursday and they were there right on time Friday morning! Not a single item was broken or scratched and they even put the furniture exactly where I wanted it... which took a few try's but nevertheless we got it done. Give these guys a shot. Luis is the owner and is a fair and kind man. read more

As another review stated, moving sucks a LOT... But it sucks a lot less when you have the Moving Forward team by your side! After reading all the positive reviews, my expectations were high - and I was not disappointed. Luis and his team arrived promptly, with a bunch of moving supplies on hand (boxes, tape, shrink wrap, etc.), in case you needed some extra - which they did not charge extra for. Their service is top notch - they are fast, efficient, and very careful with your belongings. There were a few items we didn't bother to wrap, as we decided our IKEA shelves weren't worth that much, but his team wrapped padded everything up to ensure they was well protected and arrived scratch-free. At the new place, they even checked which rooms we wanted which boxes (if only we'd labeled them better!), and they will even help you assemble furniture if you need! As they were unloading everything, we noticed that one of the tiny screws had fallen out of one of our shelves, but my husband said not to worry - he'd get a replacement. However, once everything was unloaded from the truck, Luis went back and found that missing screw! Talk about attention to detail! Luis and his team are honest, fair, and such lovely people to work with. Their prices are very competitive (they don't charge any extras to their hourly rate), and you can be confident that they'll take excellent care of your things. If I ever had to move again (heaven forbid), I would call on Luis for sure! read more

Francisco and Team were awesome on our move. Very efficient- they were so good we bought them lunch! I recommend this Company, damage free and on time read more

When I started getting quotes for a mover on Yelp relatively last minute I was a little overwhelmed. The team at Moving Forward took all the stress of my move away and made the entire process so completely seamless. The two guys that did all the heavy lifting had superhuman strength, so much so that a child in my new neighborhood remarked that "they look like ants carrying giant pieces of food back to their nest!". On top of all the hard work, and perhaps most importantly, the movers and the office staff were all around an absolute pleasure to work with, which was such a relief during such a stressful time. This was my first time hiring professional movers as an adult and I'll never make another move again without hiring these guys or someone just as good. read more

I can't ever remember a more unprofessional business experience. This company NO SHOWED three times. The first two times were responded with "oh we are so sorry - we will send the owner out next time." When the owner did not show up on the third time the excuse was "he got busy in the office." To make matters worse, I confirmed each appointment - not them, the day before and each time they NO SHOWED. To make this even more strange, the company kept calling me and hanging up. When I called to ask why they said "oh we have multiple files open on you for the missed appointments and the dialer does not know it." Wow, this company should not be in business. Fair warning because they act like they were doing me a favor and that is a really dangerous attitude to have with a moving company where trust is key. read more

First rate. Truly professional. Excellent communication. Highly, highly qualified movers. We couldn't be happier with every aspect of our move. Best movers we've ever hired. read more

They came dot on time, took a lot of care while moving items, brought in their own supplies (like tape and blankets) and were extremely efficient. Their estimate of time was accurate as well. Couldn't give less than 5. read more

Moving Forward - Movers Near Me

I cannot say enough how helpful and amazing this company is. I had to move very quickly and not only was Louis patient, kind and immensely helpful, he was logical, informative and very knowledgeable about how things need to be pack and unpack and moved safely. This business owner is ethical and extremely hard working. I think this attribute is not an easy one to find! Thank you Louis, from the bottom of my heart for being so amazing and wonderful! You are the only moving company I will ever use! read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Moving Forward. I hadn't done this moving thing in 8 years, so needed some serious hand-holding. Starting with the reservation process, they made it really simple. I was able to get a quote on their website and was contacted quickly by their Office Manager Katie. Katie ended up being my moving angel. She was quick to answer my questions and then when I realized two days before my move day that I couldn't possibly pack it all myself, she made all the adjustments without any issue. Moving day was also shockingly stress free. Francisco and his team got to my place exactly on time, made short work of my upheaval of an apartment (and provided all the packing materials that I didn't have), took great care of my stuff, and even gave me a ride to my new place. They put everything back together and made sure to ask where I wanted the furniture, so I wouldn't have to move it around later. They were fast and efficient, and were a lot of fun to work with along the way. I am so grateful for these guys! read more

Luis and his team were phenomenal. We relocated from El Cerrito to Pebble Beach in 1 day and everything was seamless and easy. The team arrived at 7 am on Sunday and by 10:45 am, they had packed up our 3/2 home as well as hand packed our entire kitchen. They finished uploading everything by about 5 pm which is nothing short of amazing. I'd highly recommend Moving Forward for local moves or moves within California. They were also the most affordable and competitive by far!! read more

Great Customer service and great professionals. We would definitely go through them again ... if you're looking for great , fast service this is the one! No damage to the furniture! read more

I called them 11 days in advance to book my move and asked them for COI. They confirmed the move and I called multiple times in between to remind them of my move and they still said they will have the COI ready. On the Sunday before my move (on Monday) I called and they said they are not sure if they can have the COI. Shitty company with zero work ethics. They made me stressed out about my move and each time I called they asked me to call back. The customer service people have no clue and can't really help. Please stay away from them as move is a stressful task by itself. read more

This is now the 2nd time I have used Moving Forward and both times they have been great. Extremely punctual, fast, friendly and carefull. They took the time to wrap everything that needed it and we got everything to our new home without a scratch. Would recommend them to anyone, they are the best! read more

Quick, affordable and reliable. What more could you ask for in a moving company? We had 2 guys move our 1 bedroom from SF to Oakland. The actual move was the most painless part of the process (packing/unpacking was the hardest part). 100% worth the money!! read more

I've been wanting to write this review for a while! I've used Moving Forward twice for my local SF Bay Area moves and they've been exceptional - on time, fast, careful, kind & nice. The last time I moved, I was in a leg boot with crutches and these guys made the experience easy and peaceful during a stressful time. They also love dogs....which was great b/c my golden retriever was happy during the process and got lots of love/belly rubs from them. I've moved many times in my life - 5 states and internationally....these guys are the best in the business, hands down. read more

Very prompt in email communication, easy to reach someone in the office, scheduled a last minute move and the 3 men did a great job, punctual and careful. Will hire again. read more

We've moved a lot over the past decade and this is the best moving experience I've ever encountered. The receptionist Katie was friendly and helpful with accommodating the last minute time change even though I called on a Saturday evening. Luis and team were professional, friendly and extremely careful with our furniture and possession. They were patient and even gave me time to let me decide and measure a piece of furniture, which I wasn't sure where to place! Overall I'm very impressed and would recommend them to anyone. read more

A team of professional movers knows how to provide best services to their customers and in this work or field moving forward and team is one of the best team that I found, when I am searching a good mover in San Francisco Bay area. Thanks you for such a great service. read more

We got multiple long distance move estimates and decided to go with Moving Forward. It was the best decision. They are reasonably priced and Diamond Certified. Dawn was amazing and kind over the phone. She followed up on all my inquiries. Luis and his movers showed up as scheduled. Efficient, courteous, careful and professional. They were able to complete the job in one day as opposed to two day move from other bids. I would use them again. read more

They are simply awesome! I've moved many times in my life in different countries but this experience was one of my best ones. The guys were on time, very efficient, super caring, had all the material we needed including cloth wardrobe boxes. Well priced as well. Apart from a few pieces we didn't have many large and heavy pieces. Highly recommend them. read more
