I recently moved from San Rafael to Novato. Chris (the lead) and Anatolii (helper) did a great job. They were on time and worked continuously loading the truck. Unloading the truck they placed the labeled boxes in the assign rooms. I rate them 5 stars and would use them again. read more

Valentyn and his guys once again did a great job moving my partner in, they were also super flexible and accommodating for my random requests just moving things around! I'll be going to them for every move, or any recommendation when a friend is moving. Thanks again! read more

my move went extremely well and the movers were efficient and careful. communication with the owner, Valentyn, was terrific and extremely responsive. read more

Great! On time, efficient, conscience and no nonsense! Nice guys! Do not move often but it was a really good choice. Follow up pre and post move was appreciated as well. Get a quote today! read more

TL;DR - great workers, terrible management, and do not use for complicated moves. Full Review: I found these folks and had a decent conversation with the manager (I don't recall his name, Victor or something). They quoted about a thousand or so less than others, which should have been a flag. The movers themselves were amazing and hard working. Their management is not, and they were unprepared for the load. Prior to moving I was transparent with what I had, and my anxieties that I wasn't able to accurately name every item that had been in storage for weeks. The manager told me that it wasn't a problem as long as I know what size storage units I had, and they said based on the size of the units (cubic foot calculations) that they were sure two trucks were enough. I was hesitant, but went with their expertise - which was approximately $2,000 mistake. They claim 90% accuracy in bids, but beware of that. As we were already partially moved to Elk Grove into our new house and didn't have much time or options to make a change in mover. The workers themselves were hard working, a pleasure to be around, prompt, and you could tell they we're experienced. Too bad the management is shady. Do not recommend. read more

They were efficient, protected our items. And never complained when the job was tough! I also appreciate that when an issue occurred at our neighbors home. The owner of Ova movers acted promptly to remedy the situation. Fantastic movers all around! read more

Ova Movers have helped me out with one big household move and a smaller move to a new storage space. Both times they were super professional, punctual, and clear about what the estimate covered. There were no surprise charges and the service from the crew, Ruslán and Dosan, was fantastic. These guys really know what they're doing! I'll definitely call back the next time I have a move. Highly recommend! read more

I recently moved from San Bruno to the south bay and OVA movers have been a tremendous service to rely on. The work was very speedy and professional from breaking down and wrapping the furniture to bringing them into the new apartment and setting everything up. 10/10 would recommend to anyone moving in the area. read more

When I first spoke with the representative, they were polite and did not pressure me. They're quote was reasonable. On the day of the move, Ruslan was one of the movers. He was very professional and courteous. They handled everything with care. The move went very smoothly and quickly. I highly recommend OVA Movers. read more

The moving team was on time, very responsive, prompt and efficient. The communication was great and the actual job was done very professionally. I would recommend them for any Bay Area moves. read more

Ruslan, Dosan and Valentyn were all so great! Super professional, reliable, and speedy, while being so careful with everything! Thank you so much. This is the second time I've used Ova Movers and they are excellent. read more

Great communication. Accurate pricing. I was never worried that no one was going to show up. Efficient light considerate with my belongings. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

They are not very professional, they just threw all the remotes and power cords for the TVs all over the floor. They broke a wizard wand and a glass lamp shade to a very nice floor lamp, scratches some the furniture, put small holes in the mattress. They quoted 4-5.25hrs took 6.25 and tried charging more than that with a double travel time and plus 159 gas. They got lost, took almost 1 extra hour to turn the truck around multiple times. We were very unhappy with their attitude when we said we weren't paying the extra hour charge they were trying to charge us, wanted a tip on top of it! They purposely broke that lamp shade and left it in front of the house. Only 1 spoke English as well, hard to communicate with. These guys lie, they made false accusations about being drunk and about the sheriff coming out to the house. They wanted to charge more money because they got lost. Then they didn't even replace the damaged lamp. Do not use this moving service if you want honest and friendly movers. Only one guy was nice and the other two were very unprofessional. Like I said only 1 spoke English so everyone had to go to him. Waste of time. read more

Another great move in the books with Ova movers in San Francisco. From booking the date with Valentyn to moving Ruslan and Dosan were friendly, quick and efficient loading all our boxes and furniture and taking care they don't damage them. They also helped breakdown and rebuild our bed. We were moving a 1 bedroom apartment and it took approx. 3 hrs. Valentyne (the owner) was very responsive with any question I had. It's the second time I have used them and would recommend to anyone. Great service! read more

They were swift in packing and moving. Handled fragile with care. Overall value for money. Would hire them again. read more

This is my second time using OVA Movers for moving my mom's beloved piano and other furniture. The team needed to move between 3 homes.All this in a little over 3 hrs. Im in awe of their quality. Very professional crew (Sherzod, Rusian, Dosan, and Christopher). Very careful and clean. Definately worth the money. will reach out again for our next move. moms piano will need to be moved one last time. Thank you Valentyn for coordinating. read more

Valentyn and his team (Sherzod, Christopher, and Anatolli) were great. They communicate well in advance before the move date and are true professionals. My wife and I moved from our 3br 2ba apartment in Alameda into a new house in Alameda and it went smoothly. The team came right on time at 9am. With 3 people, the move took 7 hours (not counting a lunch break for the team). If I could offer advice to anyone looking to move, I'd say go for 4 movers instead of 3. When you are at the 3br size, 4 movers makes things so much faster. read more

Adilet and his crew did an amazing job. This is my second move with them and they did great work. read more

First,I'll say that it's been more than 2 weeks since I notified the company that they short paid us on insurance and asked for an adjustment. The fact they haven't responded took them to a one star. Now to the issue. When the team picked up our household furniture, we had a special concrete garden bench marked with green tape (treat household item). It was a special piece to us, weighed ~400 lbs (total - 50# for the seat, 150# for the front, and 200# for the rear) - Arriving at our new house, they brought 2 pieces of the bench in, but the 3rd, the rear, largest and heaviest, was not secured to the dolly and was not covered or wrapped, and fell off the ramp breaking into pieces. The team head talked to me, and though the piece cannot be recovered, we agreed together that the weight of the broken piece was 200 pounds, and insurance would pay $120. THEN, COME TIME TO PAY THE BILL - and the boss OVER THE PHONE , decided it was only 100 pounds and was worth $60. That is all the team leader was authorized to allow. I wrote the office a few days later, explained, with photos, and asked for $60. No word. Like most things, when faith is broken with a company, everything became more important. As a secondary issue, their pre-move promise was that floors would be covered properly but instead, on a rainy, muddy day which necessitated them coming through a large street puddle, they didn't have blankets or plastic to cover floors and tracked mud and water onto my floors and rug (the bedroom carpet WAS covered, part by me, part by them). Two weeks later we discovered a broken frame on a large piece of art, and missing screws from our bed's headboard. Altogether, we were prepared for some of the smaller things,but the lack of regard for our garden art - and the refusal to acknowledge that they didn't support their on-site team and pay the agreed-upon $120 - leads me to this one star review. I wish I could have focused on their polite crew (which they were) and their agreeable manner (which it was) and the willingness they had to help me put protective pad on the incoming furniture. Instead, I focus on their unhappy business decisions. read more

Ova movers was recommended to me by a friend. Unfortunately, I will never hire them for their services again. I hired two movers and when I led one of the movers to my apartment, he complained about how the walk to it was far. I'm not sure how a customer is supposed to respond to that comment. Luckily, I was able to shorten the distance via the use of the garage of the location I live. The younger mover wrapped a lot of the items I had and it took him a while. It seemed like most of the moving was done by the other gentleman who was much older. Once everything was moved, the younger guy said it took so long and I responded with yeah, it did. It took them 3 hours to load a 1 bedroom apartment into the truck. Then, he said to me "why didn't you tell us you were moving into a storage unit?" and I was surprised they didn't know. I sent them the address and perhaps it was naive of me to assume they would check to see where I was moving my belongings to. Once we got to the storage unit, it took them an hour to unload and then I paid with a credit card. The young man spoke with his boss on the phone and then told me "my boss asked why did the job take so long?". Once again, as the customer, what are you supposed to respond with? I was surprised it took them so long too. I have no idea what their schedule or day looks like but I was extremely annoyed with the complaints the younger guy said. I also offered to buy them lunch and they said no, they had work to do. Then, I received a text asking for a tip for lunch and I sent one. I tipped them for what I was initially quoted for as I didn't plan for it to be more than that. On Yelp it says they don't charge for the truck or toll but they do and I have it listed on the quote I received. Regardless of my not to great experience dealing with the younger mans lack of professionalism, they still did a good job. Edit: I forgot to mention, they damaged the flooring of the apartment. It's coming out of my security deposit. read more

We went through Yelp to pick our movers inside SF (0.5 miles move), and based on the majority of reviews and discussions with Valentyn, who is very communicative, we picked Ova. Our experience was anything but great. From the beginning the team that showed up came with some attitude and argued about paying for TV protection, which was included, and then did not cover our floors claiming that they already have scratches. After 2 massive scratches they finally agreed to cover the floors. I just didn't realize we needed to beg for the basic agreement to protect wood floors. The original quote, which included a list of all our items and sizes, was for around 4-5 hours and we ended up at 7.5 hours, which included a lunch break on the middle. I think the business has to give more specific and better estimates, or start visiting the homes in person if they keep missing the estimate (other reviews that seem to be buried in Yelp have the same complaint) To top it off, they just seemed frustrated at drop off when some heavy boxes needed to go upstairs instead of the garage downstairs. So we ended up with our stuff in the wrong location. Finally when we unpacked they had destroyed the side of our mattress. I had wood chips and holes in it. Then the business owner claimed that their insurance covers items for few cents by weight and in a way did not want to file a claim for my mattress (or floors) as I "will only get $40-50 back." So their insurance is quite honestly a scam. Upon payment, which was again much higher than the quote, although we had a horrible experience we understand it was a long day and I gave the team a certain amount of tip and their main guy demanded that I give them more - when I opposed him he asked me to call the owner Valentyn, who insisted that that is not part of their business. Then I got sent the Venmo link from the mover so I can send more tips at a later time. They offered wardrobe boxes that were all broken, they had to tape them to hold few items. Just throw these. And to add a cherry on top, they packed all the wrapping paper and trash on the truck. Once we went inside, they proceeded to fill our trash bins and the Neighbors trash with all these items!! So we had an issue with our neighbor 2 hours after moving to our new spot... Again, the only thing that worked is that they showed up on time and Valentyn was very responsive leading up to the move and during/after. I cannot recommend this business at all read more

Requested a quote and response time was super quick. My brother used them before and they were fast and responsive. However, stars get docked when a $59 fuel charge was added on top of my quote. I moved less than one mile away. I think it's egregious to add that. If my quote was only $357, why am I paying more?! read more

This is the second time I am using OVA Movers. The first time was for a move for myself and the second time was for my son and his wife. The owner Valentine is kind and really listens to customer's needs. He also gives a fair price for the move. The crew (Foreman Ruslan and driver Dosan) were organized and efficient. A+ grade! read more

Great working with this team. They did a great job and started at the time I asked them to.

OVA Movers were awesome. Vova, Anatoli and their crew were professional, efficient and delivered as promised on budget. My belongings were delivered intact and undamaged which was especially nice since my giant flat screen, my XDR monitor,and the delicate furniture from Room and Board all arrived in Palm Springs in the same shape they left San Francisco. While I still have miles of unpacking to do, I can at least sleep in my own bed again. For condo/apartment dwellers in SF, OVA Movers also were extremely careful about security at the building which made my life a lot easier given the many problems the building has had with movers not only just leaving our building open to anyone to wander into South of Market, but also doing damage to the building with their carelessness. Kudo's to the whole team. read more

TLDR; broke our marble table before loading, offered us $34 reimbursement! Mixed experience, but major issues with damage handling. The movers broke our $400 marble table while packing inside our apartment (before even loading it into the truck). When asking for a refund, the movers assured me that Valentyn would make a reasonable offer for our reimbursement. Later that day he told me their insurance only offers $0.60 per pound of the item's weight - offering us $34 for our broke table. Please beware of this insurance policy! Reimbursements are offered by the weight of your item ($0.60 per pound). There was one positive with my experience, the employee Illia was very professional and helpful. read more

I used OVA Moving last week and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with any service provider. ever. The movers were reckless and hostile--throwing my things around, leaving items behind without telling me, and screaming at me during a temper tantrum. When I got back to the house, I found they had broken part of my fence and said nothing. What really disturbed me, though, was how they treated my religious items. I had placed my Torah and a Hebrew book on top of my bags. Later, I found them on the floor with other things thrown on top, crumpled and mishandled. Whether it was ignorance or antisemitism, the message was loud and clear: they had no respect for me or my faith. When I called the manager to report it, he refused to take any accountability and called me a liar. Absolutely disgraceful from start to finish and I was forced to leave behind items that were very precious to me. Avoid this company unless you're okay with damaged property, missing items, and being treated like garbage in your own home. read more

Everything went great! Smooth move. Friendly nice movers. Price is also reasonable. Yay

I have used OVA Movers twice - once back in 2023 when they moved furniture and household possessions from Oakland, Ca to BrookLyn, NY. Recently I used them to move from Oakland, Ca to Pleasanton, Ca. Both times the movers showed up at the planned time, and worked quickly to pack and unpack. All the workers were very courteous and careful with my possessions - I have two large cabinets. I would use OVA Movers again. read more

OVA Movers are extremely efficient, reliable, and give you the peace of mind during your move! I have been using OVA Movers since 2023, because they are extremely efficient and reliable. I cannot recommend them enough and will continue using them in the future. During my most recent move, the movers Ruslan and Dossan moved all of my things from a 1-bedroom apartment in Alameda to a storage unit in Oakland in about 3.5 hours. They were very quick and efficient all while taking great care of my belongings. Valentyn as always was very responsive before, during, and after the move. Thank you again, for the 3rd year in a row! read more

These guys know what they are doing, Rulan, Dosan, Timus, and Anatolli. Moved from SF to Bakersfield. They were able to load and get delivered in Bakersfield all in the same day. They were extremely fast in getting everything packed up and loaded. It was a great price and they were very friendly the whole time. We did have a small issue where a cord was ripped off my peloton, I'm sure by accident, I didn't end up noticing until a few days after when I plugged it in and noticed. I reached out to the owner and explained and he was more than kind enough to reimburse me for the part ($30). Truly a great group of professionals here read more

I hired OVA Movers with one goal in mind: a stress-free move where my items would be packed AND unpacked. What I got was the complete opposite. Before booking, they blew up my phone with texts to earn my business. Now that I need to reach them? Complete silence. No response to my calls whatsoever. When the moving staff arrived, the unprofessionalism started immediately. They complained the entire time that the job required more people and that they were not adequately staffed for it. To make matters worse, they showed up without enough packing supplies -- and had the audacity to use OUR personal paper towels and toilet paper to pack our belongings. I'm sorry, what? They started at 3:00 PM and didn't finish until 11:30 PM nearly 9 hours and not a single item was unpacked. That was part of the service I paid for. I sent pictures of everything to the owner in advance so there would be no surprises. There is absolutely no excuse for this level of disorganization and unprofessionalism. I hired movers so I wouldn't have to deal with the stress of moving. OVA Movers added to it every step of the way. I would not recommend them to anyone. Do yourself a favor and keep looking. read more
