Drew and Anthony came and knocked it out! Anthony is a MUST he is so fast, and respectful in asking what you need and / or are ready to move next. That was huge for me! Also when moving things, you are bound to break something! Can I just say ( I hate paper bags) This moment right here is why I will always call them in the future. Drew came and got me right away, Anthony showed me how the paper bag ripped and what happened( IN THE MOMENT) nothing was hidden cleaned up and mentioned later. Major kudos guys that meant so much. Lastly Anthony walked me through the truck, moved all of the moving furniture covers to show all items were moved.. integrity is everything!! I highly recommend this moving company!! You won't go wrong!! Thanks gentlemen, I will be in touch for any future moving needs. God Bless! Monique C. read more

This company is on several sites promoting Moving (2+ man crew) work and actively making appointments with customers; however, they do not keep any appointments, nor do they show up or communicate with the customer. Instead they completely removed the profile from the portal and while leaving the customer in suspense. Thankfully the internet will has a way of finding horrible businesses. Thankful that they have an active profile on Yelp that I can blast the horrible experience I've had the displeasure to encounter. This owner of the company lacks professionalism. Quoting a flat fee, than add price adjustments. DON'T DI IT! Heed my warning and run far away from this circus. read more

Scheduled a move at 1pm on a Sunday. I called at 12:55pm Sunday afternoon to get an idea of when someone would show up. They called me back to say that they were overbooked and would not be able to assist me. I received zero notice, spent my weekend packing to ensure the move would go well, and disconnected everything in my home only to have them cancel on me at the time of the move after *I* called them. They knew they couldn't help me, and still made no effort to reach out and give me notice. They did not offer anything to compensate for their mistake, and simply said "it happens". Moving is already stressful, and this company made things even worse, leaving me with no truck or back up options in the middle of my move. I would not rely on this company at all. read more

I had an appointment set to move at 8 am on Sunday September 30. I scheduled the appointment two weeks ahead and paid a deposit. I called at 8:15 am on the scheduled day and the guy said the driver decided not to work today. When I scheduled the appointment the owner said he and two guys would help on the move. Apparently he got greedy and booked too many jobs. This is the most unprofessional experience I have ever had in my life. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

Drew was amazing !! Without question he moved piles of trash and garbage accumulated from renovation . His prices are reasonable, and he's very helpful. We're having him back today to move some furniture. Great guy!! read more

These guys are class acts. Drew helped me and my fiancee move across the country to Denver on a long distance move. We determined a fair price for the move and he was communicative throughout the entire process. I had a tough timeline to fit due to my work travel schedule, but Drew was able to make it happen with his team. All my things made it safely to Denver on time and in one piece. Couldn't be happier with the service provided. read more

Who sends an EMAIL at 2:30 AM to let us know that they are overbooked and unable to help us with our move that was schedule for the SAME DAY???? Moving Help Bay Area - that's who. Now we had to scramble around at the last minute to find a replacement mover. Did you not know you were overbooked two weeks ago when we first scheduled our move? Or even a week ago? Or sheesh maybe even 2 days ago???? HORRIBLE!!! And untrustworthy!!!!!!!!! read more

About an hour after the crew was supposed to arrive, my order was cancelled. The driver went to a Raider's game instead and the other mover doesn't work without the driver (I'm noticing the driver is mentioned as a problem in multiple reviews; I hope it's not the same guy). I'm leaving 3 stars instead of 1, because Drew was extremely apologetic, tried to find another solution and refunded my deposit. That being said, it still sucks my 4-hour move turned into a 10-hour move. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! Today is the moving day and they reached out and said they are overbooked and cancelled the same day! RIPOFF - HORRIBLE - UNPROFESSIONAL Save yourself time and money and pass on these jokers!!!!!!!! read more

Do not book this service. Unreliable When booking, I mentioned my concern of the bad reviews and the inconsistency and they reassured me multiple times the would 200% be reliable and show up. They did not show up nor answer any of my attempts to reach them. I had to pay a premium to find different movers within the hour. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME/MONEY WITH THEM!!! THEY ARE THE WORST!!! NO SHOW!!! Long story short I hired them on Thumbtack and they didn't show up. Horrible experience ever! I booked the moving reservation on Jun 7 to move out on Jun 15, one week in advance in case I couldn't move out before my apartment lease ends. They confirmed the time, sent out an email with an reservation link, I confirmed. On Jun 15, the scheduled moving time was 2:30-5:30 pm. They didn't show up so I contacted the person on Thumbtack, that guy said "Call Donnie", I called. Donnie said: it wasn't on his calendar, you should contact someone else. I actually didn't expect they are such unprofessional. Then I came back to Thumbtack, the person logging in Thumbtack told me to find another moving company or wait until 5:00 pm and no truck, only pickup available. A pickup was not sufficient for my move. No excuse. They just didn't want to keep their promise. I already packed all my stuff in advance to help moving more smooth. My time is valuable. It's not worth my time waiting for another 2 hours for them to show up. AWFUL! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!! read more

UNLICENSED MOVERS No insurance DOT is inactive Be aware of this movers!!! This review originally was posted on Thumbtack. I didn't move with this company and God blessed I didn't. During the booking process I asked for insurance and license. Representative told me that this is confidential information and I need to book with him first to see certificates. Than I asked for Not to Exceed Estimate and he told me $700. Than I checked DOT (Department of Transportation) Number and it has inactive status (screenshot attached). Which means that company can not operate on their trucks legally. I told about this issue to representative. On what he replied that now if I want to hire this company my Not to Exceed is $1000, which $300 more right away. After all this he just stop replying to my messages. And never sent me any insurance or license info. One more time! I never hire this company. I just tried to book with them. It is up to you reader, to use them or not. I chose another company which provided insurance and valid license right away without any questions. read more

My sister in law hired this company. She was promised 2 helpers and only 1 person showed up. Didn't finish the job and left the stuff in the middle of the hallway. We had to hire another movers to finish the undone job. We never write reviews, it felt important to let the consumer know how unprofessional this company is, after writing down the review we were contacted by the company and the person was extremely rude, unprofessional and wrote nasty and degrading messages demanding her to remove the posting. This comany is a nightmare to deal and am shocked companies like these still exists. We are concerned about my sister in law's safety and if we get anymore nasty messages or any sort of threats we will be seeking legal actions. NEVER hire this company. #movers #SanFrancisco #wasteofmoney #wasteoftime #yelp #annoyingbusiness #movinghelpbayarea #thumbstack #angelist #googlereviews #disgusted #doitbyyourself #unethical read more

This is highly unreliable and sounds like con artist. I should have reviewed these reviews before booking. He agreed (goes by Walter) on service date price , confirmed everything , took address night before scheduled service date and on day of service shutdown phone and disappeared. Don't book him ... read more

Drew is a flake. He blew off my job without explanation, apology or viable alternative less than two hours before appointment. Do your research, he does this all the time. read more

This company has has changed ownership i believe, the owner still says he's Drew but it doesn't appear to be owned by the same person. Save yourself the time and headache. They're tempting because they'll quote you a good flat fee and promise you that everything will be moved and in it's place. I have moved four times both in state and out of state and my 5 block move was a complete nightmare. They left items at my old home, didn't move items into the home and left them in the garage after saying they'd be moved into the home, left trash from multiple uber eats, left trash at my old home (i.e., a box, wood piece from someone elses furniture) he hired random help off Craigslist that actually did most of the work I gave that guy a tip), was not easy to communicate with, I could go on and on. The move was hardwork, but that's the point of hiring movers, I don't go to work and say nope I can't work anymore because it's too hard. If you do hire them just use them as transport and hire a couple other folks or bring friends if you want everything to get moved into your house. Don't trust the quote they give you online that's just to start the job, make him do a site visit and give you an actual quote. I learned an expensive lesson about going cheap, I now have to hire another crew to get all my items upstairs from the garage and various items left; I should have just went with more expensive well know companies as I've done in the past. read more

Moving Help Bay Area - I tipped the helper 66% of what he paid him. All my things were left in the garage; not moved upstairs like he said he'd do. - Movers Near Me

See all

Donnie and Drew were both very helpful in moving some bookcases. The were very diligent with communication around setup. They were able to work around a constrained schedule for our move. Also, when running late to meet them, their flexibility was awesome. I would definitely recommend them for affordable local moving jobs. read more

this moving service is a joke. They broke 4 of my glasses and around 8 plates. on top of that they broke a table glass and never mentioned it to us. the next day we were looking for our table glass and realized its no where to be found. when we called the manager he told us he is trying to reach his team but he never let us know. we called the driver and driver mentioned that the glass broke and they didnt want to upset us so they didnt tell us. then the manager called us and told us you guys left a bad review and he asked us to remove it and when we said we didnt post anything online he started yelling over the phone. I hope he reads this review read more

I hired Moving Help after a different company bailed on me last minute, and was very pleased with the service I received from Drew. He arrived on time, and was committed to an efficient move while also caring for my belongings. We had a very tricky time getting my couch out of a small doorway, but happy to report we safely got it out due to Drew's steadfastness and care. He was even willing to throw down his own blankets in muddy puddles of water (not an ideal move day) to protect the couch. Highly recommend Drew if you're looking for an easy to work with, high-value moving company. Thanks again Drew! read more

This review is specifically for Moving Help Bay Area's customer service. I put an ad on Craigslist looking for assistance with gym equipment moving and assembly. Drew was one of the first people to respond. I got quite a few responses but I took interest in speaking with him more to see how he could help and get a price quote. I am first going to say that I have dealt with some pretty hard headed, rude and inconsiderate movers in the past. It's made me skeptical of scandalous quotes/estimates, attitudes and behaviors so for me to feel comfortable and confident to even respond back to him says a lot. I feel more comfortable articulating information over email first because it's easier for me to gather thoughts and send valuable information needed to get an estimate. He was extremely quick and courteous to answer my emails. I explained my budget needs and financial strains and approached him with a flat rate price for the gig rather than per hour. Now, most companies would of not even responded back but Drew took my needs into consideration and offered me the BEST priced, even discounted it for me, out of all the price quotes/costs I was given from my ad. I also came to Yelp and noticed his great reviews which greatly influenced my decision to continue communicating with him about the gig. His schedule was also very flexible which is a huge bonus. In a nutshell, I was unable to get the gym equipment that I wanted (this had nothing to do with Drew's company) and so I am unable to use his services at the time. You may be reading this wondering why I would even bother reviewing him and his company. I will tell you why... There are times when you feel people have exceeding your expectations and have been polite, professional and considerate throughout the communication process. I am reviewing him for his wonderful customer service skills. Human kindness deserves appreciation and for that the least I could go is Yelp him and his company. I will be keeping his contact information if I ever need his assistance with moving or assembly. His incredible prices are also another huge incentive to use his services. Find movers that are polite, professional, punctual and affordable? It's almost impossible these days. Thanks to Drew and his crew you don't have to worry about any of that. They've got you covered. If this isn't enough for a review to convince you then read his other Yelp reviews. They clearly validate the exceptional service him/this company has to offer. Need to move and don't know what to do? Pick up that phone and call Drew! Thanks again Drew. I'll be in touch for any future moves or gigs. read more

Moving took much longer than other companies we have used-twice the time, if not more. Cloth furniture not wrapped (now getting dirty in storage)..On top of that, a pile we set aside for the temp. rental-which we made clear-was packed into the back of our storage unit that they took our stuff to. We had to go back he next day, unpack the storage completely that they packed and find the boxes and clothes that we didnt have and needed from that pile. They had packed it into the back of the storage, the VERY back. Bad luck for us. Then pack the storage back up (we did a better job repacking it so it would fit than the movers?).... (My child had one outfit, so we basically HAD to do this). On top of that my wife is pregnant and had to do all this work of finding the boxes and clothes while chasing a toddler. On top of that, Im confused why one guy was just standing around more than half the time....(probably why it took twice the time we paid for initially). I know this because multiple times I saw he was just standing around, sitting in the car, etc. We will pay our bill for the extra hours but wont be re-hiring them once we find permanent housing in a few months. Quite a bit disappointing. They didnt break anything, hence the two star vs. one. read more

DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY! I REPEAT DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY. I scheduled this move 3 weeks ago with this company and I get a message stating that he's overbooked and cannot move for us. THE DAY BEFORE OUR MOVE. So now we have to find another company to move for us. SO UNPROFESSIONAL. If you need to cancel at least give people a week or so to find other options.......obviously if you hire a company it's because you really need the service. The other thing is we've been communicating all day & waits till 7:15 pm to tell us he can't move the next day. I will never use this company again. Ever. Horrible customer service. I doubt this a legitimate moving company, don't waste your time. read more

Drew and one of his associates came to my house to help with moving an old bed frame and installing a new one. They did an excellent job with the tear down and new furniture assembly. These guys were very respectful, efficient, and quick. They did not leave any wall scuffs. The furniture was tight & secure. I will contact them again for sure! Thanks Drew & Co. read more

Provided the most competitive quote for my 1 bedroom move, arrived right on time. 4 star as mover did not arrive with any boxes (?) but they ended up making it work with plastic bags. Besides that everything was moved without loss or damage, overall fair service for the price. read more

Drew & team were of great help on our move. They were ontime, and moved fast but carefully throughout the 3 hours they helped out. They used furniture pads appropriately, and were patient with our new building as they worked out the kinks with the elevators, unloading area, etc. We did have one box get dropped accidentally during the move, and Drew was very up-front about the damage and quite apologetic. They ended up compensating us for the minor damage, which I appreciated. These things happen when moving lots of items and boxes, but they were honest, hard-working and I'd definitely use them again. read more

These guys don't just move ! They paint too!!!! I needed some help and on the same day, they were out to help me prep my job. On time, fair rate , friendly, and professional. Thank you ! read more

These guys are soooo awesome! I've already used them a couple times as I just moved into the city and I need some arm strength and help when furniture arrives. They are so nice and helpful. Their costs are beyond fair - wayyy better than task rabbit. read more

Drew and his team of minute men are awesome! We moved when my husband was out of town and our children were in school. Drew packed and unpacked my family to include putting the food in our new refrigerator and assembling the beds. Drew's team is awesome I didn't lift 1 finger, not 1 finger. I recently had a life changing surgery, and i couldn't have helped even if I wanted to. I would highly recommend working with Drew again. Drew's team is awesome! read more

I called Bay Area moving help for my move. I was really pleased with the service. They charge the right price and guarantee a clean move. Definitely would recommend them. read more

Drew was able to move me on black friday. Most movers were not able to accommodate me on this date. His rate was the most competitive in the bay area especially for a move to Sacramento. He moved me out of a 1 bedroom apartment in less than two hours. My only negative comment would be that many of my items with fabric came back with a scent of smoke. Nevertheless i would book them again. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this team of movers!! They turned moving into a pleasure. They arrived on time and were very friendly and professional. They moved our things (including an 800 pound piano!) without so much as a scratch. They handled my sentimental antiques and electronic as if they were their own. I booked them for two hours and they were finished in about 1. Their price for two hours was a bargain, and I was more than happy to pay that plus tips for their incredible hard work and professionalism. read more

Drew was supposed to have another mover with him but ended up doing the move himself. This meant the move took longer than expected but we still were able to complete the move in 5 hours (1 apartment worth of stuff) and his pricing was very fair. He was polite and even willing to take away some furniture we were going to have to figure out where to toss. Thanks Drew! read more

Drew is an exceptional mover. He is such a committed flexible hardworking partner. He worked hard to ensure all our personal belongings were moved safely with no damages whatsoever. We were moving over 100miles away and he did it in such a short time for us. We were so fortunate to work with him. He was super affordable as well which helped a whole lot!!! Thank you so much, Drew. We made a new friend in you!!!! read more

Drew (Sam) & his crew arrived on time for move they were so efficient they moved all the stuff carefully & neatly within time frame. Will definitely recommend their service for move. Thanks guys !! read more

Had a good experience moving with these guys. Cheapest rates in town! Showed up at 7am and was done at 1:30. Concord to Sacramento. They took care of my things and wrapped most of my valuable and breakable items well. Was a little hesitant based on their recent reviews, but they worked with me to get the job done. Good communication is a must for me and Bay Area Moving Help delivered. Be sure to talk to them prior to booking to ensure a smooth moving day. Thanks again! read more

Had a small job scheduled this afternoon at 6:30pm, the appointment for which I made around noon today. I was told it wouldn't be an issue. I am in correspondence with an agent of the company as late as 4pm, so I assume everything is going to go according to plan. So 6:30pm rolls around, and I haven't seen or heard from anybody. I give them a call and speak with Drew, to be told that they weren't going to be able to make it because they got another job. I wish they would have told me at 4pm when I spoke to them last. This lack of communication is absolutely unacceptable. If you're going to agree to an appointment time, then honor it. There are a ton of companies I could have called, but I chose to go with Moving Help Bay Area because I mistakenly thought they would come through for me. Now I am one day behind schedule and there's nothing I can do about it. read more

I got a quote for 2 movers, but ovnly one showed up. When I told the person who I originally spoke to, he said "He can do the work of 2". No, he couldn't because it took 3 hours instead of 2 because he had to go upstairs to get things into my apartment. If there were actually 2 people, it wouldn't have taken that long. Because of that the mover charged me for 3 hours instead of 2 and an addition $50 because the distance from the truck to my door was more than 50ft. Something that wasn't explained to me beforehand. The mover also had an attitude. I asked him not to put the bin with my glasses and bowls in it at the bottom of the stack so that nothing got broken. His reply was he has been doing this for 6 years and he knew what we was doing. He then says that their insurance will cover whatever is broken. Everything is not replaceable. I looked in the truck and sure enough, the bin with my glasses in it was at the bottom. One of my wine glasses got broken and it was a gift from a friend that she made for me so I can't replace it. When I told him that it broke, his response was "it must have been the way that you packed it." I will definitely never use this company again. I ended up paying over twice what I was originally charged because when the mover finished, he charged me $350 which is over twice. When I noticed that I was over charged, I called and he cursed me out. I will never recommend them to anyone. read more

I had already tried once today, to get a recliner delivered to my apartment. The guy liked it so much he kept it! So I went with the next offer, Moving Help Bay Area. They left immediately, drove to another city, picked it up, treated it gentle and delivered it in one piece! And cut me a break on the total price! Will definitely go with Drew and Antonio next time too! Honest, dependable and timely! read more

These guys were amazing!! We booked week of to move from Walnut Creek to San Jose on a holiday weekend. They were awesome with the booking process, showed up early & hustled to get everything loaded. They were polite & we got a quote to haul junk away. We will definitely use them again!!! read more

Drew and Jimmy helped us today move our 2-bedroom apartment. They were very quick and diligent in moving our stuff in 4.5 hrs. They handled things carefully without any damage. Even though the truck size was comparatively smaller, they arranged the stuff well. I would definitely recommend them for moving help. read more
