    Doug is a wrapper extraordinaire ! his jovial personality and warmth make him a pleasure to be around .
    Lesa J.

    I was so concerned when my elderly Mother hired movers I had not researched myself. what a great surprise to meet three of the hardest working, clean, polite, professional and friendly guys I've met in a long time . David, Doug and Tahrique spent the day with me as we got a huge amount of packing done and items very professionally prepped for moving. Their truck is clean, they arrived on time, the took regular breaks as the law and explained they are taking a break. they didn't ask for anything, worked well with each other . truthfullly - these are some A-team young men. thank you and just know we are so happy with your care and respect of our things and our need to get them to our new home. I would recommend you to anyone . signed, the Franklin/Johnson family

    My men at Murdock's!

    I've been in my new house for two days, looking at all of these stacks boxes. I still can't believe the Murdock's guys helped me pack and still got two truckfulls of my things unloaded in less than 4 hours. The six men who did all the labor were so kind and quick! They didn't even break one thing!!! (1500-1400 square feet). Buying and selling houses has been incredibily difficult. The Murdock's Men (Dillon, Dylon, David, Max, Douge, Joshua, and Andrew) called me by name, made eye contact with me, asked for my opinion regarding placement of boxes and furniture. They covered my furniture and breakables with blankets, not plastic. I felt like they genuinely cared about me and my belongings. This is the perfect moving company I know of in Chico. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else

    Murdock's moving our piano from one room to another in our house.

    We've used Murdock's Moving & Storage (Chico) twice now to move a piano, and they've been outstanding both times. The team was on time, efficient, and extremely careful, which is exactly what you want when moving something that heavy and valuable. Their communication was also top-notch, with clear scheduling and helpful pre-arrival updates so we knew exactly when to expect them. We truly appreciate the professionalism and will absolutely use them again.

    Everything protected very well!
    Geronimo W.

    Amazing team & David the owner was very responsive to everything at all times. Him and his team made this move a very easy process and so thankful we found them. Worth every penny when it comes to protecting your items & home. Very efficient in every asset of the move. Thank you guys for all your help! Crew Lead - Josh Dustin another lead who was on the job

    Our team that moved our storage contents from Chico to Redding. Nice guys!

    Very professional and friendly teams of movers. They handled all of our belongings with care. Trustworthy and helpful.

    Great job! Very professional and efficient. Packers and movers made the move easier and more pleasant.

    See all

    Sales Manager David Schroeder gave us a very fair quote, considering we'd be moving to Paradise, CA from the Mendocino Coast.

    We needed a crew with a piano dolly and experience to unload an upright piano we agreed to 'store'…read more for a friend - we definitely came out ahead on this one! Steve communicated clearly and quickly and arrived on time to do the job. He and his 2 employees were friendly and expert. They worked slowly and smoothly and they got the piano onto the dolly, unloaded it from the truck and got it up the 3 steps to my small front porch, then made the lift to get the piano off the porch and over the threshold and into the house. Then they maneuvered it to where we wanted it, and very slowly, gently and carefully moved the piano off the dolly and onto the floor. Every move was done slowly and smoothly with an eye on keeping the piano balanced on the dolly - even though they had to shift the way the piano say on the dolly to get it up the stairs and into the house, it was all smooth, slow and gentle. Great job - I highly recommend them!

    Nightmare, you'd better of renting a U-Haul and moving YOURSELF than these guys! They over…read morepromised and under delivered! They quoted me a price of 1100 to move from Chico to Napa, the price was to include packing and Unpacking of my things! There were supposed to show up at 9asm with a crew to knock out the packing the night before, THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP AT 6pm, without Boxes, or BOX TAPE or Bubble wrap or anything, and no crew just two of them, Luckily I figured out I was in for a screwing days before when they wouldn't return my calls for days on end. Since I couldn't contact them, I pretty much moved my high value and important the previous couple of days with my Dad and a Pickup truck. THANK GOD I DID! Since I could contact them, and they wouldn't return calls left for them the week prior ti the move, I wasn't counting on them at all. Imaging my surprise when they finally called me at 1030pm the night before they are supposed come over and pack me up. During that conversation I learned that they wouldn't be able to pack till after 4pm the next day. Which would mean we would be at it till the wee hours of the morning, as I had to go from Napa to Salinas thursday after the move I needed to be in bed around 9, so I decided to stay up late and pack my stuff MYSELF! LUCKY I DID SINCE WHEN THEY ARRIVED THEY WERE NOT PREPARED TO PACK ME AT ALL! THE NEXT DAY, WEDNESDAY 4pm came and went without movers, so did 5pm, and finally at 5-30 I called to see what was up, (Still enough time to call a replacement company!)they said they were on the way over and would be there shortly, .... I waited! By the time they arrived I had everything packed EXCEPT the dishes in the Kitchen. So I asked if they had any buble wrap, nope of course not, WHGAT WAS I THINKING! n I used towels and shirts and stuff to pack my breakables while they loaded the packed boxes into the truck. We argreed thatthey woyld be over the next morning at 8am to move to Napa. 8 came and went, 9 came and went, 10 came and went 11 came and went, NO CALL, even looked for smoke signal, the sky was blue. My friends had started a pool to bet on If they would call, and when. Finally at 12-30 hey called and were on the way over, RIGHT, we did this one before! I called my Mom and asked for a HUGE favor to have her drive down to Salinas to pick up my Dog, Charlie, from the pet hospital where he was recovering from his emergency surgery. Luckily she could and would, but I would owe her! When they finally arrived they were able to load up my things fairly quickly, they packed NOTHING, and they insisted that would dismantle my Ikea Queen size bed, WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO. I AM DISABLED and have lost most of the use of my hands so basically I had to leave my bed, as I can't dismate it, AND will now have to buy a new one, When they quoted me a price we said agreed to $1100 to PACK AND MOIVE, THEY DIDN'T PACK A DARN THING, AND SINCE THEY SHOWED UP WITHOUT A SINGLE THIUNG TO DO Packing, it was plainly obvious, they NEVER intended to pack me, and I was in for a screwing the entire time. Once ALL MY THINGS were in the truck, they wanted to be paid. I told them I did not need them to haul away the stuff from the Garage, and we were just doing the move part of our agreement. So I paid him the $1200 in cash, and he had the audacity to WHINE that they were expecting $1,500. Well I was-expecting to be PACKED, I was expecting my bed to be dismantled and I was expecting them to arrive ON TIME ready to work. I single handily load more of the things than the two movers did! When we got to Napa they basically just threw all the boxes into the living room and took off. Nothing was unpacked, matter of fact the boxes didn't even make it into the rooms for which they were destined! Moves are NEVER fun, and I chose these guys because even though theyr quote was HIGHER than 2 men with a Truck, it was SUPPOSED to be a hands off move, with them doing the work. Nothing could have been FURTHER from the truth! ALL I CAN SAY IS, UNLESS YOU LIKE PAIN, and do't respect yourself enough to hire quality mover, DO NOT USE THESE GUYS! I highly suggest looking into Two Men with a Truck, these guys are USELESS. When they didn't call me back in over a week, I should have made arrangements with TWO EN AND A TRUCK, and got the move don e right!

    In preparation for an out-of-state move, we contacted several well reviewed businesses here in…read moreChico and asked for quotes. Three of the four did come to our location and were to provide a quote. We did ask for three-four quotes due to the complexities of our move, thank you Covid, and gave everyone the opportunity to put on their thinking caps and come up with figures that made sense and wouldn't put us into one of the cardboard boxes we were moving our things with. Rich Sorenson called prior to our appointment to get a sense of the dates we were thinking about and to be the first on the planet of cell phones to ask where we were located. That never can be a good sign when you're getting ready to hire a moving company, amirite? He showed up without a mask (smack in the middle of Covid). We gave him one of our prepackaged spares since we're a first responder family. He claims he must have left it on the ground at the gas station. Nice. Asked a lot of questions. Took measurements. Seemed checked out (this isn't our first rodeo when it comes to getting estimates and moving). And then crickets. No email. No quote. No phone call. And yes, we did check our spam. Unless he was emailing in broken English from Nigeria, nothing in the spam box was from Sorenson's. I did read another review that spoke of the same net result. I feel bad for the employees who are missing out on work because their estimator is slacking off. But I can't be bothered with making a follow-up call to light a fire under the owner's son's butt when I found some phenomenal out of state movers here locally that were johnny-on-the-spot with their estimates. If you're like us and looking to move out of this godforsaken place, you might want to check out the smaller guys who are working hard to make a name for themselves.

    I really wish I could give these guys more stars because the movers are courteous and our…read morebelongings were transported safely, but they made mistakes on each occasion that were frustrating as they cost us time and money, and showed a lack of regard for the customer. Some time back we requested that they move an extremely heavy, upright grand piano into our upstairs apartment. For some reason they didn't believe us on how cumbersome the item is and didn't send enough people, and we had to wait for more guys to come to help lug it up a flight of steps. Thankfully that occurred same day as the item was downstairs outside. Fast forward to moving out. We decided to call them again and though they had notes in their system about the previous move we still made sure to stress it had required five guys last time and is extremely heavy. We also arranged to swap the washer and dryer in our place with ones that were in storage. My husband took time off work to be around for the window they'd arranged and what happens? They send only two people. As no one else was available, we had to wait until later in the week meaning my husband needed to leave work early once more and we had to move the washer and dryer hanging out in our kitchen. We were told to expect a phone call before they were on their way which would give my husband time to head home and that it would be sometime around noon. 11AM rolls around, I'm having some quality lounging time in a towel after showering, and Sorenson's Moving shows up at the door. I explained they were an hour earlier than we'd been told to anticipate and it was deflected with a not so helpful "We didn't know about that." I let my husband know to head home ASAP while they waited outside as I dressed and when he arrived around 11:15 they started moving the piano. By 12:30 things were wrapped up and the person collecting payment was insistent he had to charge the full amount without compensating us at all (they charged us for 1.5 hours at $140 an hour for a total of $210 as they apparently charge double for time spent driving) and stated if we wanted anything for the inconvenience, to contact the owner. We thanked him, passed over a check, and decided against pursuing it further as we're pretty busy due to leaving the state in a few days. The items were moved without damage, the guys moving stuff are polite, but the communication between owner, receptionist, and the movers leaves a lot to be desired. I also find it disappointing that the employees are not empowered enough to be able to make decisions about compensation and that they would tell us to contact the owner instead of making a phone call then and there to ensure their customers are satisfied. Our experience with Sorenson's was extremely underwhelming. Not completely awful, but frustrating enough that I would not use them again unless there were literally no alternatives.
