Kind, prompt, reasonably priced and always dependable. I refer them often in my business and use them whenever my own family requires moving services! Thank you to Ashely and Team Preferred Movers! read more

From Beginning to End - Preferred Movers were the BEST movers we ever had! Shout out to Isabel who runs the office and our strongmen for the day: Chris, Kai, and both Jose's. Very personable service, attentive to detail, super chill, and very reasonable. All important things when moving. Would use them again - Absolutely! Highly recommend them - Absolutely read more

Preferred Movers is hands down the definition of what qualities a local company should possess. They're thorough, considerate, and educational of the industry and your needs as a client. They moved my family twice now in the last few years. Lerone, the Owner, did our estimate and was also present on move day. His commitment to his clients satisfaction is evident. Hiring a local company is the way to go these days. They provided wardrobes free of charge the day of our move and also waived the fees to pack our TV's. Our items were handled with care and not one antique was damaged. They disassembled and reassembled all of our beds without any difficulty. Prior to move day I was given a courtesy call to confirm our date. The crew showed up on time and looking sharp in their uniforms. I recommend Preferred Movers to all my family and friends. Thanks for making our move stress free. read more

Preferred Movers - Thank you, preferred movers! - Movers Near Me - Dixon, California

Unfortunately, this is one of the businesses that Yelp reviews are NOT a testament of the real service of the company. CHEAT, LIES, OVER PROMISED, UNDER-DELIVERED. INVESTIGATE THEIR REVIEWS - WRITTEN BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND PAID REVIEWS. YELP NEED TO FLAG THIS COMPANY. Move was 2017. Took this long for review b/c we gave them a chance to rectify the items the crew broke and damaged.They didn't. Move size: 4 B/R household, 2800sq', 400+miles. Total 300+ boxes. Summary: Trucks changed out. Half the crew changed. Rude and inexperienced, unlicensed sub contractors + 1 unauthorized family member on the job. Lerone used my packing materials to save his boxes. He is CHEAP. He lied through his teeth. We requested, were promised and paid for full packing service, full unpack service, full material cost, using 2X 40 ft container. None of the promises were delivered. We watched the crew load our boxes into 2 X 40' trailers that sat outside our front yard. However, to our horror, we later learnt they drove the trailers to their warehouse and RELOAD the boxes into into smaller trucks. Our rate and agreement was for 40' trailers which cost more. Prior the move, we'd shortlisted 3 companies and picked Preferred. Lerone's classic sales pitch convinced us his service is so good that "you can save buying insurance b/c we won't break anything".What sold us was his promise to use SAME CREW to pack at origin in Sacramento AND have them unpack at destination. To win the bid, he lowered the price but then he sneakily cut corners. The nightmare began at destination. Lerone was more than 10 hours late. The excuse: Flight delayed, drill confiscated by the airlines when he tried to bring as a carry-on. Even a small nail cutter will be rejected by the metal detector. A power drill? While he was late, his sub contractor crew acted like on meth. The hispanic young man nearly hit my husband in his face until my gardener stepped between them and stopped him reminding him neighbors were watching. He was asked to go off the job but he continued to handle my belongings. In the end, he broke them and then THINGS WENT MISSING. The new crew unpacked carelessly. Lerone said his crew would wear booties; they did not. "We forgot to bring but will buy them later after unload." LIES. Everything they promised were lip service after contract signed. There were 2 narrow pieces of floor cloth to cover the entire 2200sq'! They conveniently forgot to pack more floor coverings. It was raining and they tracked mud into my new home. 2 of the crew from origin had slightly better attitude. But that faded quickly. They acted like a bunch of homeless people who didn't care about their work or my house, or respect the owner.They helped themselves to my fridge. To cut cost, their system was set up to have them finished work with minimal breaks.Tired and hungry = grouchy and careless workers. Lerone finally showed up at almost 5pm. He demanded payment of balance. If this happen to you, do not pay. Call the police. Make a scene. If they will not unload your stuff, find alternate ways. After payment, he disappeared to get "lunch" at 5.30pm? Of course, lunch for his poor crew never show up. Neither did he. In fact, after that day he took my money, i never saw this man again. 8pm: a strange African American lady walked into my house. I was shocked. She proceeded to use my bathroom without asking. After 30 mins, she returned & joined the unpacking crew, carelessly tossing my things. When asked to stop, she challenged "Do you want this job finished?" I paid for professional movers and for experienced crew, not a bored girlfriend. There was no supervisor so it was extremely awkward and tiring having to oversee the crew. They dumped everything on every surface they could find in no order. Shampoos, garbage bins, liquids from bathroom were dumped indiscriminately onto bed mattresses without bed sheets - yes ruined. Neatly packed clothing and books were overturned in the air into large mess piles like a thrift store. By 9pm, all boxes were off loaded from trucks & half the house were full of boxes waiting for unpacking.This was expected - a job that required 5-6men 4.5 days to pack at origin would take at least 2-3 days to unpack + time to assemble furniture. Lerone insisted everything could be done in 1 day. 10pm: they decided to stop unpacking & assemble furniture. After 1hr of rummaging, all sofa legs were confirmed missing. Crew said they'd return next morning to finish. They never did. Lerone avoided our calls. At basic coverage per California law for all carriers at $0.60/ lbs, the claim is $3661. Preferred Movers, after making us resubmitting our claims multiple times in various formats, gave us a check in the amount of $186.We suspect our claims never made it to the insurance co (to save his rate from increasing).This company is dishonest and uses bad crew. They make mistakes and tried to cover up instead of doing the right thing to fix it. Avoid. read more

Moving is anybody's least favorite task. From scheduling to execution, working through preferred movers could not have been a smoother process. Lerone and his team are phenomenal individuals. From scheduling to coming prepared day of, the movers were organized and paid attention to detail. They arrived on time, loaded up ahead of schedule and took gentle care with every large item that needed to be moved. I was so appreciative that they made everything so simple, especially as the coronavirus has really made jobs like this harder, my family and I felt completely safe while the crew was working with us. They truly re-assembled every piece that was taken apart during the move. One of our bed's is a sleep number and took several attempts to put back together but they did not give up until it was done correctly. From punctuality and a positive attitude all the way through great value and 0 negative issues, they helped us move our ~3,000 house from Napa to Vacaville in less than one day. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking to relocate and I will definitely plan on calling again in the hope they service whatever area we are moving too. read more

Excellent service all around with Preferred Movers. We did a local 4bd house and from beginning to end they were professional, friendly and efficient. Isabelle in the office was accommodating and flexible when I had to reschedule our moving date, and Lerone who came out to bid our job was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us packing tips to help ensure a smooth process. On moving day, Kyler, Anthony and Leroy were punctual, polite and hustled. They took great care to wrap and pad our belongings and laid down runners to protect the floors. Our final invoice was as quoted with no surprises. Would recommend 100% and use again. Thanks guys! read more

First of all I'd like to say thank you for the great moving experience. Nate, Cam, and Anthony did a fantastic job taking care of my items. The crew showed up and hit the ground running. Within 3hrs the move was complete. I'd highly recommend using this company. If possible ask for the crew mentioned above if they're available. Thanks again, From Satisfied Customer. read more

Solid team, hard working and attentive to our needs! Only comment is that they tend to under budget the time required but either way, their movers work hard and they earn every hour. I surveyed a good number of insured and licensed movers and Preferred had the most competitive rate. read more

A+++++ Highly recommend. Preferred Movers did an outstanding job with my move. I experienced top notch service from start to finish. They are professional and experienced and have all the techniques in place to work quickly and efficiently with no time wasted. Their positive attitudes and attention to carefully handle my items really helped ease the stress of my move. The owner Lerone has a strong work ethic and great customer service that is hard to find these days and I am extremely grateful I found his company to do my move. read more

A Zero star! Guess Yelp needs to allow us to give negative or coal stars to warn off people from bad businesses. If possible I would give this Mover a 'Lump of Coal' ... No, not a star! I have moved multiple times across the country but this has been the worst experience of all. IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR MENTAL PEACE DO NOT GO NEAR THIS MOVER! The actual workers were fine, tipped 20$ each for the ten of them for doing their job. But the owner is one of the sleaziest person I have come across in my 72 years. Absolutely disgusting experience! Picked him up through the Nextdoor neighborhood recommendations - perhaps one of the worst experiences of my life. read more

Lerone and his team are amazing! We have used this company three times over the years - both two man and three man teams - and the quality of service is excellent. We'll be relocating again soon and look forward to hiring Preferred Movers again! You can confidently entrust your move to them as well as any referrals you have to offer - they won't let you down. read more

This is my 9th move, using professional moving companies, and this has been the BEST one so far. For the first time...did NOT have a scratch on my quality furniture. The price quote was spot on and there were no add-on charges. They showed with a nice sized crew, 2 trucks, and wrapped my furniture and loaded in no time! It was delivered to my new house and placed on hardwood floors with the utmost care. They even lifted every piece so I could place felt pads on the legs. Preferred movers is definitely my "preferred" company to use if I ever need to move again. My good friends also used them, on our recommendation, and had a great experience. D.Hess read more

Two great young professionals. Polite, no nonsense. Got the job done fast. They carefully unwrapped and assembled a hand made dining set that I had been waiting 5 months for. They were careful and competently assembled it without any problem. Thank you guys. read more

We have moved four times in the past 5 years and Preferred Movers have been the best moving company thus far! Having used three other moving companies previously I will not go back. The movers took extra care of our furniture and were so friendly. When it comes to movers I'm very particular as our furniture is all from Crate and Barrel, West Elm, CB2, and Pottery Barn so I except a moving company with exceptional care. If you're planning a move and looking for staff that will provide you with a white glove service I cannot suggest this company enough. The owner, Rone was very helpful throughout this process as well and was very communicative, he really helped ease our moving concerns. read more

Thank you, Lerone! He and his crew moved my mother-in-law all the way from Long Beach to Sacramento. Everything went off without a hitch. They helped us prepare everything so it could be ready for the crew to head down to LB and return to Sac quickly. Could not have been a smoother process. Already have it in the works for them to move us to our new house!! Thank you, Lerone! read more

I have used Preferred Movers two times. Each time the team showed up on time. This time each team member had a mask on which I appreciated; they were professional and got the job done timely. They took very good care of all items and the move went smoothly without any damage to the items they moved. Although I lived upstairs (36 stairs) they did not complain. I would highly recommend this company for your move. read more

WILL& NATE Saved the Day!!! We just couldn't lift the big stuff, they came out quickly at the last minute, gave us a GREAT deal!!! They were fast, careful, and through!! We'll use them Every-time!!! Thanks Y'all read more

They were there at the appointed time, were very careful with our with our furniture and boxes, and the estimated time and money was exactly what we agreed upon. I highly recommend them! read more

Preferred Movers is the way to go! Family owned and top notch service. We used them for a local move from Travis Afb to Fairfield. Conrad, Nate and Jory did their thing. On time, professional and took care of our belongings. We highly recommend Preferred Movers! read more

Preferred Movers is our GO TO moving company! As owners of Rapisarda Real Estate, we confidently recommend Preferred Movers to our clients and their families. Time and time again, our clients are so pleased. Preferred Movers recently moved our office furniture. The movers were professional, careful, patient and treated our furniture with the utmost care and respect. The owner and staff operate this locally owned business with first class customer service. We highly recommend Preferred Movers as they run a business we respect. Thank you Preferred Movers, you have earned our business for life! read more

I used Perferred Movers, they have damaged my property, misplaced over a $1000 dollars of property, and refused to compensated for my misplaced or lost property, I was asked to give detail description of the items damaged, now missing is as clear as I can get, I entrusted my property to them for storage and they never made it back to my house. A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTUMOR read more

I was dreading this move, but from the first phone conversation with Isabelle, the estimate with Lerone and the most awesome crew: Anthony, Marvin and Nate, it was a great! The crew showed up on time and took care of my Mom's belongings. They were friendly and polite. The move was done in a timely manner without a hitch. Would highly recommend this company and use them again in a heart beat. read more

I contacted Preferred movers after having a bad experience with another moving company, who's name is Quality Movers. The service between the two companies was like night and day. I had to hire a Preferred to finish the job the other company didn't. Preferred came in ready to work, and had all the supplies necessary to do the job, and then some. I requested only 2 guys for a large kitchen, and my catch-all room. It was a pretty good sized job, and these 2 knocked it out. I have to give a special shout out to the two guys, DJ and Nick who worked the butts off to get it done. They were both very professional, and friendly. They were careful to protect my floor, and door frame as well. They marked all my boxes...which is something the other company didn't do. The other company didn't do anything to protect my floor or doorframe either. When I first called the owner, Lerone, he was very friendly and absolutely accommodated my needs on short notice. I found his rates to be very reasonable. The only thing I can ding them for is not taking a check, but I won't. Maybe I'm just old, and still think checks are ok. LOL. I totally get why they wouldn't want to deal with them. I will be using them again to complete my move after the sell of the home. I will update my review at that time. read more

Very responsive, always in touch, educated me on what to look for & expect to compare quotes from others. Driver & pickup crew worked well together....inventory took a while but nothing missing/lost/or damaged so the time & detail was well worth it. They are down to earth seasoned professionals. This was a long distance move & the driver stays in touch too and oversees everything. One company was cheaper, but not sure things would've gone as well. Couldn't find them on the BBB site like I could this group. Lots of moving parts to this operation, but they aim to please & respond to any issues or concerns immediately. Good experience for us! The only reason this is down a star is I was told to be prepared for movers to arrive on a Monday between noon & 2pm (estimate is always a window of dates, but it was a little frustrating). At 3pm I had to call them to see what was up. It turned out to be a blessing as we weren't as prepared as we had thought. The next day the driver called personally & from that point forward everything was right on schedule as he said. Came before 1pm on Tuesday, drove off with the truck around 6pm...then arrived around 10:30am to drop off the next day (only one state over in this move). Sales team, Office boss, & driver all followed up too. read more

Preferred Movers was referred to us by our awesome realtor, Tom Rapisarda, and they were absolutely amazing. They were flexible with us through the ups and downs of our loan closing, and once they arrived, the movers were so professional and had such great attitudes. They took incredible care of of our belongings, and did all the assembly on our furniture. I highly recommend this moving company, and they were super reasonably priced. read more

I moved with this company on December 23rd this past year. I would only describe this company and its owners as ILLEGAL. I had to file a sheriff's report. They actually stole several key pieces of my furniture: couch, sofa table, bookcase, hall tree, 2 gutiars, jewelry...etc... Sure they are PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL thieves!!!! WATCH OUT!!! The co- owner Ashley Thomas and her husband Lee are the owners. Two 20 ish guys showed up on time, on the 23rd. Something wasn't right after only 1 hour, and less than a half filled 20ft truck...they told me "we will not be able to fit all of your belongings into the truck"??!! I had been downsizing, and donating many items weeks before this day. My 2 friends were there as witnesses, both of them stated the moving guys were lying and trying to scam up. Also Ashley insisted I bring cash for a discount. I had $1,000 on me. I took a photo of it and texted it to her, when within a couple of hours she began to accuse me of not wanting to pay her, thus the need for her to steel and confiscate my furniture. ###PLEASE...PLEASE### Don't Use This Company, I don't want anyone else to be ripped off. read more

I wish I could remember the names of eh 2 gentlemen who showed up for our move. Respectful efficient. Best easiest move I've ever had.

Amazing! No damage, and arrived early, and did an excellent job. Thank you for taking care of everything!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this company. Such an amazing group of guys. They not only were super nice but they had me laughing the entire time. They really are like one big family and like I said just an amazing group of guys. read more

Ashley and Lerone are a pleasure to work with! When Lerone first came to survey our office for a move, I appreciated that he was efficient and didn't waste my time with a lot of sales-fluff talk. He was also very respectful of our employees who were working within the space while he conducted his survey. Lerone made our job seem like it wasn't a big deal, which relieved a little bit of the stress of our office move. Both were flexible in their accommodations to provide services, including material drop-off, and an additional moving task prior to our actual move date. On the day of the move, the crew was also respectful, not only to our business, but also to their team lead, which I find to be very telling. They were efficient, fun guys, and very receptive to our direction. Overall, I am very happy, and also relieved, that Preferred Movers pulled through in the way that they did. I much preferred this smaller company to a more corporate entity. I would highly recommend! read more

I was hoping to give this local company a good review, but two months later Im still waiting for Lerone to replace my stainless steel refrigerator door that was ruined in my move. (the door should've been removed BEFORE they took it through the doorway! ) I'm getting the complete run around, such as next week, next week, next week! Supposedly he ordered it, but then wouldn't provide me with the name of the company and has pretty much appeared to have dropped the matter. Just say, you're not replacing it! Very dsiappointed. Don't use them. read more

Preferred Movers is a great company to work with! From beginning to end they were professional and easy to work with. Ashley took my initial call and was there with answers to any questions I had over the next few days. The moving team arrived on time and took great care with the furniture. I would definitely contract with this locally owned moving company again in the future. read more

My move was horrible the truck and two guys were a hour and a half late . When they finally got to my house they proceeded to smoke cigarette and stand by the truck for another half hour before they finally knocked on the door . Jose was very friendly and polite Brandon smelled of alcohol and stale cigarettes Lerone the owner showed up talked a lot and never tried to help move anything if anything slowed the guys down . We would never recommend them two anybody. . read more

Moving is the most stress you can experience after living in one home for over 20 years. My realtor had given me the name of a company he had used and was very satisfied with. I made an appointment with Lerone, the owner. Lerone , gave me a very reasonable flat rate estimate for the move. I was having a hard time finding boxes, one call to Lerone problem solved. Lerone delivered boxes, paper to wrap plus tape to seal each and every box. As any big move the countdown was coming faster than my son and I could pack. No problem said Lerone, for a reasonable extra fee he sent Raoul, who was a serious life saver. Raoul did in 4 hours that would have taken me an entire day. The big day arrived finally..... I want to also say a special thanks to the great team of guys who moved me out of one house into another. Josh, Marcus, Raoul and Zack. They laid down rugs to make sure nothing was tracked in, braced each door so no damage to walls just a great crew of polite young men. Thanks to this guys my bed was reassembled and I had a place to sleep that night. I would recommend this company to my friends and yelp family. A special note Lerone and his 2 sons returned and removed all the unpacked boxes for me. How is that for going the extra mile for customer satisfaction. read more

I move more often then I would like to. Ive had over five companies move me over the past six years. This was the only company that cared about my belongings. Everything was packed professionally and every belonging was secured. Nothing was broken, damaged, nor lost in my move. Lerone and his crew did a wonderful job of disassembling and reassembling my furniture with care. My kitchen crystal was so carefully packaged I found it in a box inside of another box and well cushioned on every side. I highly recommend them for packing and moving. I also found that their rates were competitive and even beat most. The crew doesn't drag out a move (something I have experienced, since you pay by the hour). They finished my move faster than estimated. They will be doing all my future moves as well. read more

The workers were great! They had great attitudes! However, some damage was done to several of my items, and we were told BEFORE the move that we would be made whole if anything happened. I submitted pictures and the proper form via fax on April 20, 2019, to no avail; and it is November 8, 2019. I want to be made whole. read more

We had preferred movers move us and they did an awesome job! Dan, Shane and Tanner were so quick and efficient. They packed our garage so nice and neat. I was so happy we went with them! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to move. Two thumbs up and 5 stars!! Thanks guys!! read more

We hired Preferred Movers and had a great experience. We moved from Moraga to El Dorado Hills and the movers showed up on time and were efficient and took care of all our belongings. All of the staff we dealt with (Ashley,Nate,Ali) was pleasant to work with, and they did a great job listening to our needs and meeting our expectations. I would use them again and I highly recommend Preferred Movers for your moving needs. I have one recommendation though: offer a discount for cash payments. If a discount would have been offered I'd have paid cash. read more

This is the second time I have used Lerone and his crew! Fast, professional, careful, polite.....would use again and again.......and would refer to my friends no questions! read more

I've moved many times in my years and these guys are for real. They were courteous, professional, took great care moving my stuff and did it within the scope of the estimate.. I highly recommend this team and I'll use them again when i take my stuff out of storage. 5 stars ! Dave read more
