Jason and his crew at Need A Hand Movers are the best! I have called on them for help several times and each time Jason shows up. They are always so polite, reliable and hard working. They treat my things as if they were their own. if you need a hand look no further. I can not say enough about Jason and his crew People and service like this is rare these days! I absolutely recommend them! read more

They had two guys assist me with moving from a 1 story house in Petaluma to bottom floor apartment in Santa Rosa. Pricing was ok but one of the workers broke an $80 item and he failed to mention it to the lead guy. I felt bad for the kid so I didnt complain but I felt a little jaded after paying $500 because I had to pay for their truck to be refueled from Petaluma to Santa Rosa and back. The only reason the price was lower is because I helped and had most of my items boxed, stored and ready to go which cut down the time moving stuff. read more

Chris and his crew (Shawn and Trevor) were REALLY great! Professional , kind and friendly and man are they fast! I can't believe how hard they work, I would highly recommend their service and I will hire them again! read more

Moved us today from Sonoma, Ca to Dixon, Ca. 3 man crew Steven, Tim and Brandon. Tim: a motivating , strong leader who got it done!! Brandon: strong Tetris-like talent organizing our belongings in the moving truck and getting our boxes out of our pod with lighting-fast speed. Steven: strong as an ox!!! This man carried heavy boxes up a flight of stairs so quick!!! Was so very sweet and reassuring! These 3 gentlemen moved us out of our 1500 sq 2 story house and into our new home in 8 hrs with a drive both ways , as well. We definitely could NOT have done this alone. The final amount was a bit more than the quote but so was the work day. I would definitely pay that amount again and hire them..no questions asked. I've never hired movers before but I am so glad I did. chose them. read more

We had a very difficult job cleaning out my Aunt's house. A two car garage stuffed up to the rafters. Rich came out to give us a bid and was at the job the next day. Price was fair and the people were fun to work with. They worked the whole day without a break. Things of value were to go consignment shop for sale, lesser things to a thrift store. However, consignment items never made it to the consignment shop and no receipts were given for them. Unfortunately the company is not responding. Very sad. read more

Need A Hand Movers did a fantastic job providing boxing/packing, moving, and unpacking for my older parents from Petaluma area to SF area. We provided them photos of possessions and they were able to very accurately estimate the time and cost for pulling off this big move. They were quick to communicate and answer questions in advance of the move. My family found them all to be friendly, professional, and efficient. They were also very trustworthy, highlighting some valuable possessions that my parents hadn't declared in advance so that my parents could safely move them themselves. Everything was boxed, wrapped, and carefully moved without damage. No issues with moving a large grandfather clock. They came in 10% under their estimate. Would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking highlight reliable movers in the area particularly if you want help boxing/packing alongside moving. read more

I have used Need a Hand Movers twice, once in 2020, and again last week. Their service is excellent! Tim and Brandon were professional, fast, efficient, and not one thing was misplaced or damaged. I'm so grateful to them, as it was a very stressful move for me, and they made it so much easier. I think their price was very fair, so I am 100% a fan of this company and won't ever use another one. read more

We had Need A Hand Movers help us yesterday. It was a tough day, and moving from a family home of 48 years has its complications and hidden tasks. We pretty much got it done, at least the hard stuff. My wife underestimated the load, so not on them. They used a trailer instead of a box truck, which really helped access. The old and new homes are on twisty mountain roads. The crew we had was great, I enjoyed very much talking with them: Binnion, Tim, and Victor. I wish we had scheduled a second day with them, but oh well. I don't think anything was damaged in the process. I paid cash for 10% discount and tipped in cash because they earned it and more. Roughly $2000 total, which was a deal. read more

Had a seamless and stress free move from Santa Rosa to Petaluma. Thank you to Tim, James, and Josh for being on time, working hard, fun to talk with and all around great guys! I scheduled the move via Yelp messaging. There was prompt communication. The quote was accurate and pricing very reasonable. They were even able to move us to our new home on Christmas Eve. I highly recommend Need A Hand Movers, despite some other negative reviews. I didn't experience any challenges at all. Next time I need a hand, I know who I'm reaching out to!! read more

I contacted Need A Hand based on a recommendation in a community group, and I'm so glad I did. Jason was super responsive in getting me a quote and talking me through the plan. I got a call the day before the move to confirm. My move was today, and the three-man crew of Victor, Tim, and Cody were fantastic. I hired them to pack everything, move within Sonoma County, and dispose of a few (big) items. They worked efficiently and respectfully, asking me the few times they needed guidance but otherwise just quickly taking care of all the packing. When we arrived at the new place, they were great about putting boxes in the right rooms, and even helped me figure out furniture arrangements. I loved their energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism. They even came in under the estimate! I hope I don't have to move again any time soon, but I would totally hire Need A Hand Movers when I do! read more

So easy to work with. They were able to accommodate a date change when the close our house was delayed a week. They showed up on time. The team of 3 gentlemen did a phenomenal job with our move. They were all super friendly, helpful, and efficient. It was a long day and very hot toward the end and they kept great attitudes to finish the job. If we move again, we will definitely use Need A Hand! read more

Incredible service with reliable and knowledgeable movers. They moved us into our new apartment in an hour and fifteen minutes with no problems while being courteous and professional throughout the entire move. Even furniture that would have taken a tremendous effort to squeeze into tight doorways was no problem for these experienced movers. I can't recommend them enough, let's just say they made miracles happen. read more

I have used them twice now. They are professional, prompt, and quick. They took care of all of my things without a bump or a scratch. They were not expensive. They communicated well and I have nothing but positive reviews for them. They even came back when I needed a dump run the following week, and took all of my stuff to the dump. I absolutely recommend them 100% read more

We hired Need A Hand Movers for the moving out and replacing of our furniture for our floor refinishing project. The service provided was exemplary from the intitial contact by Jason through the completion of the work. I appreciated the timely response to my inquiry, the ease of scheduling, as well as the reminder/confirmation calls the day before moving day. In particular Tim and Victor were punctual, efficient, careful and creative in getting lots of furniture into the two carpeted rooms that were available for storage. Talk about furniture Tetris, they nailed it. They were also friendly and fun to work with. After getting over the sticker shock of hiring professionals instead or friends or teenagers, we recognized the value of movers who are accountable, taking great care not to damage our furniture or our beautiful new floors. To say nothing of saving our 67 and 75 yr old backs! I would certainly employ their services again and highly recommend Need A Hand Movers. read more

Look at the photos. They are timed and dated. They was no staging no day laborers. Look at the photos. There is an app called grammarly that you can run a letter or Yelp review through, so it sounds like the writing is from a business owner. It will help greatly with run on sentences. Also be VERY careful using the word crazy with someone. ADA fines can go into the hundreds of thousands. That is just a bit of info for the masses. read more

I am so grateful for Brian, Christian, and Carlos! They made my move today so much easier and so fast, very professional and on time. Second time I've used Need A Hand, truly amazing company with amazing work ethic and drive. Thanks for another great move! read more

FAIR, FUN & FANTASTIC!! Tim, Joey and Aaron are great!! I requested a quote to pack and move my 4 bdrm house and Jason gave a full, honest quote and confirmed my move. Tim, Joey and Aaron arrived on time, prepared to work hard and quickly. They took great care to not damage anything. All three were so nice and got the job done exceeding our expectations. Tim is a Tetris Wizard... Great team!! Great company!! read more

I requested that I didn't want everything moved out of a house that I had sold. I wanted to specify which things to take to storage. I had agreed to hire them for one day, and to only work when I was there to point out which things to take. They didn't do what I had asked. They came back the next day when I wasn't able to be there and took whatever they wanted which were the easiest things there and left behind the most valuable items which I wanted to keep. I had a deadline to be out of the house in 2 days so I hired someone else to help me with getting the heavier and most valuable items out of there. They worked harder and charged way less than the original movers. The Need A Hand Movers insisted that I pay them in cash in advance even though I wasn't happy with the work they did or didn't do. I have photos of how they left my house after they had supposedly finished the job. I still haven't even seen what they packed and took to storage that I have to pay for. They didn't label any of the boxes that they packed so I don't know what's in them. I was very upset and disappointed when I went back to my sold house and saw all my best things still there after they were finished! If anyone wants to see my photos of everything left in the house, just ask me. It was a huge mess they left for me. read more

They did a great job moving us. All furniture was wrapped and blanketed! Placed all the furniture in the proper rooms and was completed on time! read more

Need a Hand Movers just helped us move into our new home, and it was a great experience. Biniam, Victor, and Josh did a phenomenal job. They were professional, efficient, and careful with our stuff. Nothing was damaged, and they knocked it out quickly for us. My wife and I are both grateful for their hard work and job well-done. I strongly recommend going with these guys! read more

I hired Jason, and his team of conscientious and hard-working guys at Need A Hand Movers twice in the past 6 weeks. I was very impressed with their work ethic and the care they took moving our things to our new home. On both occasions there were different movers and to a person, they were careful and communicative. I highly recommend this honest, friendly, and reasonably priced company. L. Frey read more

Moving is stressful, even in the best of times. Add a pandemic and difficult load in (My old place was in the back of another house, down a narrow, uneven path) and I was super stressed about the whole thing. They showed up on time, in masks, were respectful and professional and got all my stuff loaded quickly into one smaller sized van, thus saving me money. The load out was easy and they even set my bed up for me and figured out where everything fit best in my new apartment. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

We hired them twice during the summer and the first time the crew was AMAZING! 5 Stars Easily! I think one of the crew members was Biniyam. I cant say enough good things about this crew, I wish I knew all their names. The second time we used them the crew was not the same and outright bad. One of the guys (pony tail) did just about nothing and his crew members were complaining about him the whole time. He brought the entire crew down by dragging his feet and doing none of the heavy lifting. The same guy took a 30 minute bathroom break, with the truck so the entire crew couldn't work, as everything was on the truck. They also went to the wrong storage unit and charged us the time to drive to the wrong unit and then back to the right unit. 1 Star. It's hit and miss, but if you get the right crew it's worth every penny. read more

Very expensive...and not reliable. Didn't follow my instructions. Bad attitudes. They were asked to only pack certain things which I designated but they ignored that. They left a big mess. read more

Had an excellent experience with Jason. He contacted me back, we decided on a time and he showed up promptly and helped unpack my goods in two locations. He and his coworker were careful, efficient and very nice people. read more

I was doing a local move in Santa Rosa and had actually already moved most of my stuff bit by bit over a few weeks time. But I needed help for all the big furniture items that are heavy and awkward to move and require a van. I knew if I tried to move them with a friend, we'd probably bang them up and then I would also wear out my friends carrying heavy stuff. Need a Hand made it super easy to get this last bit of difficult stuff moved quickly and easily. They were right on time, handled everything with care, and loaded it up quickly with tons of room to spare in their large truck. Everything was just as easy on the delivery side. The guys had a great sense of humor and helped make this move really painless. And I still had hours left in the day when we were done! I am happy to recommend them to others. read more

They will rent a pallet jack, for an additional fee, to help move pallets. Their truck has a lift gate, so you can relax and load up your stuff quicker. Professional crew with a good sense of humor. 10% discount if paying in cash. Definitely recommend this crew to others. read more

We used Need a Hand to move furniture into a POD and then back into the house while our floors were being refinished (Mattie's Hardwood - highly recommend). Both times, the crew was fast, efficient and professional. The cost is reasonable and they certainly have excellent Tetris skills with loading a 12' POD to the maximum capacity! No damage to furniture and they're much quicker with Ikea assembly than me :) I would recommend Need a Hand for all of your moving needs! read more

ABSOLUTEY THE BEST! We moved from Rohnert Park to Santa Rosa and had Tim, JJ, and Bailey as our movers. The were such cool guys! They were efficient, upbeat and knew what they were doing. We had a very awkward hutch and they were able to figure out how to get it out the door in no time. They genuinely cared that we were first time home buyers and they continuously engaged with our six year old son who thought they were the best! Our son has good taste. I can't recommend them enough. They are loyal to the customer and not loyal to the profit that they make per job. Do not hesitate! Go with NEED A HAND MOVERS! read more

We had been burnt by another mover previously and were hesitant to try again. THEY ARE WONDERFUL! They are trustworthy and hard working. Just great people! They stay true to the quote. read more

I just logged into Yelp for the first time in about a year and realized this review was still under "drafts" and is long over due. Just over a year ago I hired Need a Hand Movers to move my items out of a storage unit and into a house. Got a good price and scheduling was great. Morning of the move the truck they planned to use had a problem, but Jason has multiple trucks so this only caused a 15 minute delay. Where things went above and beyond is the fact that once we opened the storage unit we found mouse/rat poop all over my stuff. I mean a lot of poop. Which was surprising as it was only in the unit for a 8 weeks. Anyway, Jason's crew never complained one time, just grabbed some rubber gloves and continued on. They were quick and finished on time. Thanks Jason and Need A Hand Movers! read more

I received an email from my moving company cancelling my move less than 72 hours before we had to be out of the house... Need a Hand Movers responded to my urgent request (they were the only one out of the four I contacted explaining my situation). Jason contacted me right away (late at night) and told me he would get me covered. In all my communication, he was so professional and kind. It turned out, I was sent the email in error and my original movers were still on, so we didn't need to utilize Jason, but I appreciated him so much I still wanted to send the review. read more

Pros: Responsive, respectful, friendly, professional, fast, knowledgeable, just plain great. Cons: None I would recommend them, to anybody, in a heartbeat. These are the movers you want. read more

I needed a hand so I called Jason and his crew to move me, I'm so glad I did. Steve and JJ filled the box truck with such care! Their level of awareness in keeping my items in good condition and their attention to detail were top notch. I needed to bring my items to two locations, so there were some logistical details to pay attention to. Everything landed exactly where it needed to be. As a single woman, I felt safe and well taken care of by the friendly professionals at Need a Hand moving. I highly recommend this company. read more

Need A Hand Movers - Movers Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Either they underestimated the size of the job, or did a poor job packing because they left many of our household goods behind. They didn't inventory the boxes and and just randomly left what was packed last without giving us any input. While moving us in, they couldn't assemble our weight equipment and just left it in pile. They weren't even going to tell us until I noticed it 45 minutes before they were due to leave. Then they said there was a problem with a cable. They had called a Fitness Equipment company and misled them and said the machine was assembled but there was a problem with the cable. The fitness equipment company asked for a photo so they could assess the situation and the crew sent a photo of the equipment that was taken before they took it apart at the home they moved us from. Completely and shockingly dishonest. The rep sent me the entire text conversation. If Need a Hand Movers get into a pinch - they will resort to lying and scamming to avoid liability. So disappointed! We have filed a complaint FMCSA. read more

These guys were great! They packed up my things like a well oiled machine and within 30/45 mins my furniture and boxes were loaded and on there way out of state. They got to my new house promptly and put everything together almost as fast as they took it apart. They were respectful clean and all I have is good things to say about this company! They even called a couple days later to make sure I was moved in okay and had everything settled! 10/10 would recommend read more

They moved me again and did such an exceptional job! In and out even nicer crew which I don't know how they could be because the first crew was so awesome! Not one ding, no scratches! Everything perfect! All my stress relieved. Best movers in Sonoma county! I am beyond grateful for the TEAM at Need a Hand movers! They have exceptional ability to do the job right the first time and with ease allowing me, the customer to relax regardless of how much stress I was under. They were professional, kind, and efficient; all while paying attention to time and ensuring everything was well taken care of. There is no other company I will reccomend for a move large or small! Professional, affordable, and amazing! Thank you! read more

See all

Last fall I was moving from Santa Rosa back to Elk Grove. I had rented a truck from U-Haul, but of course they were overbooked and said they couldn't get me a truck for a week. I was on a timeline and had to start my new job in four days. My boyfriend Johnny called Need a Hand Movers and spoke with Jason. Within 24 hours Jason had a crew at my door. His crew even helped me finish packing things up. They were all so kind and I was so grateful. Once I got to my new destination the crew unpacked me as well as assemble the beds for me. It was an excellent experience. Thank you Jason. read more

Amazing all around! They were quick to respond, available on the day we needed and prices that were hard to beat. Would recommend them to anyone. Took care of all our furniture/stuff and would use them again. read more

Called them again to pick up a big pile of trash from a reno and stuff the previous owners left stashed all over the property. It was super easy and saved us a ton of time and effort. They showed up right on time and charged us exactly the dump fee + hourly rate we agreed to. No surprises, just done. Thanks! read more
