This is the first time I've had to use a mover in San Francisco in 20 years. VS and his crew were outstanding to work with. Very professional, knew exactly what needed to be done and they worked fast, AND carefully. The quote from SF was more reasonable than most of the other movers, and VS Crew knew both the building I was in and the one I was moving to. You can use them with confidence! read more

Great service and very professional. Dauka and Aibar took care of some very expensive furniture and wrapped it very well to travel to the next destination. They made my job easy. They were quiet and efficient. Would definitely recommend! Renee the Assistant read more

Have used SF Local Moving & Storage for every move I've had in the SF area over the past decade. Having (unfortunately) moved quite a bit in my life I've used a number of different companies and these guys have been by far the best in SF. Special mention to the VS Crew for their professionalism and promptness. (It's rare for movers to show up exactly when they say they will every time.) read more

SF Local Moving - Their truck - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

**Bottom line** Overall, we were disappointed with the move due to the amount of damage to our furniture and the lack of adequate insurance from the moving company. We will not use this company again nor recommend it to our friends. =================== Used this company at the recommendation of a friend. Setting up the move was very easy and done over email. Informed them that we had a 2BR apartment and due to the amount of stuff, we hired a 3rd mover. On the day of the move, they arrived on time but with a relatively small truck. The 3 movers packed our apartment in decent time (2h) and seemed to do a good job of covering the furniture with blankets. However, due to the size of the truck, they ran out of space and had to fit in furniture (dining room chairs) in random places without blanket protection. The unloading process took 3.5hrs partially due to the loading dock being far away. We fully expect there to be minor damage during a move. However, in this case, there was some major damage including: - cracked corner of a dresser - dirt on all corners of our sectional couch (still haven't gotten it fully out with couch cleaner) - deep scratches to 2 of 4 dining room chairs that are irreparable - scratched paint off dining room table In asking the movers about insurance for damage, they quoted that they only reimburse 60 cents per pound of furniture damaged, which was vastly lower than the cost of the irreparable damage to our furniture. They did give us a $40 discount on the overall price but this still did not cover the damage. Note that there is no adequate insurance for their moving company! Overall, we were disappointed with the move due to the amount of damage to our furniture and the lack of adequate insurance from the moving company. We will not use this company again nor recommend it to our friends. read more

The VS crew made the move incredibly easy and stress free. They handled all items that we didn't get to prepare for the move (TV, paintings) and packed all the miscellaneous items we forgot to put in boxes ourselves. They were courteous, professional, and were careful with all the things. Would work with them again. read more

Emir and Kantemir made my moving experience so memorable and easy! They arrived early and handle everything so gracefully. I appreciate their constant check in and effective communication. They were so gentle with my items and handle it with care. This is my first time hiring movers and they sure didn't disappoint! I'm so appreciative of them and their patience and hard work. I will certainly recommend them and will further support their business! read more

SF Local Moving - Furniture, mattresses, dressers, music equipment, Christmas tree, etc. - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Easy 5 stars - super responsive, hard workers, and great rate! After comparing a bunch of moving companies over the last few weeks leading up to our move, SF Local Moving was the best rate/minimum. And the job they did, amazing! We moved from our first floor 2 bedroom w/ storage unit into a first floor 2 bedroom in 3.5 hours, with 3 movers. The guys hustled the entire time! Everything arrived safe and sound! We accidentally thought we misplaced one box of glassware (it was simply covered by empty boxes) and the team jumped on it to get in touch with our team and they pointed us in the right direction. I apologized for the fire drill, but it just goes to show how thorough and professional they are. ...the only items that broke where when my father in law came over the lend a hand, but that's a review for a different page :) read more

Very friendly and helpful. If you can afford the cost it is worth it. Moved things from my storage in contra costa county to solano county in the heat without ac and no complaints read more

The VS Crew were very nice and professional movers. They are hard workers who made the experience of moving pleasant and seamless. I recommend the company and movers to anyone who is looking for good service, prices, and professionalism. read more

Great and efficient movers. We appreciated them wrapping and protecting our furniture. Any items we specifically pointed out they listened to us and helped assist us right away. read more

I would definitely recommend this company. Yesterday their three man team moved my two bedroom house out in a matter of two hours. That included taking apart of some furniture and wrapping much of it. Then they unloaded it into the storage place in just over an hour. They were careful, didn't bump into walls, etc, and the furniture looks good. I will be using their services again when it's time to move from the storage facility. read more

The crew from SF Local moving were great to work with! They were prompt, efficient, cordial, and just overall nice guys. They worked hard from the moment they started. This is the second time we are using them and can't recommend them enough! Thank you for making our move smooth! read more

Very responsive, timely, and efficient moving crew. Would definitely recommend!

Had a great experience with this team - they responded immediately via the Yelp inquiry, and were communicative all the way through the move. The VS Crew was awesome on-site! My move ended up being much bigger than I thought, but everyone stayed super cheerful and helpful during the extra hours - thanks guys! Highly recommend. read more

Liars! Website says 109$ per hour. " IMPORTANT FACT: 68% Of Studio & 1 Bedroom moves are finished within 3 hours and billed just $330 and no Penny More! " On yelp they gave me an estimate of 119 per hour and 60$ truck fee. When I called them they gave me an estimate of 125 per hour and 60$ truck fee. Not going to hire them. They're totally bsing. Update: Thats not even an 11$ yelp discount. That was 6$ "yelp discount" that he offered me. He's just making stuff up as he goes. read more

Just finished moving locally with SF Movers. Excellent experience! Prior to the move they contacted me just enough times to feel reassured that they will show up. (Did not inundate me with messages but were easy to contact when I had questions) They came on time and called before coming, worked efficiently and completed the job by organizing everything in our storage unit. Both the movers were very courteous and responsive to our requests. Highly recommend!! read more

Moving is never fun and is always a stressful day. Due to circumstances i had to find movers over the long weekend while i was out of town. I messaged Erick on yelp and not only did he respond within an hour, he prioritized my move without any hassle. On the day of the move, Erick and his crew were very careful with all of our furnitures and they were all so kind. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. If you are looking for movers, this is the company to go to. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and the crew are all very sweet. read more

Very friendly and quality service, reasonable price. They wrapped up and secured all the items we had and got the move done in about 3 hours

The last minute call for help, they agree to do it. The price was right, and the job well done. I would highly recommend this service, for their excellent service. read more

Personable, friendly and time efficient team! They were very careful with our belongings and I couldn't be more happier with the great customer service provided today! They transferred everything out of our old place to our new home in 2 hours flat! I've had my fair share of movers that I find on Craigslist, but this one is legit, insured and very quick. Reserving an appointment was very easy, being that I picked the busiest moving time--Saturday late morning, when everyone else seemed to be booked. They arrived promptly, asked what should stay and go, and everything was easy from there! These guys are awesome! Moving is usually stressful, but they made it a complete breeze for us! Hopefully we don't have to move for a while, but definitely will be my go to when we do in the future. read more

Edgar was responsive and prompt when I called to schedule 2 hours of labor only moving assistance last minute. We scheduled them to come from 2-4 p.m. He and his assistant were about 40 minutes late to our scheduled time, although they did text at the start of the scheduled time (2 p.m.) to let us know they'd be 15 minutes late... It was a little awkward working with them - they got the heavy furniture moved, which is what we really wanted help with, but they really seemed to want to leave after the furniture was moved, and it was awkward to ask if maybe, since we were paying for 2 hours and they'd gotten there 40 minutes late, they could move at least some of the heavier boxes. They probably moved about 5 heavy boxes and 10-15 moderately heavy, small boxes on our dolly (didn't bring their own, which is fine, but other reviews mentioned they did) before saying "Ok, that's all the heavy stuff." It was about 3:40 at that point (so they'd been there for an hour out of the 2 we were paying for), but since they had clearly been eager to leave, we didn't feel like pushing and just moved the rest of the stuff ourselves. Overall, the rate was less than other moving places I'd called, and they were able to move our furniture (4 or 5 items) and therefore save us from doing it. However, I'm not sure we'd use them again given the overall awkwardness/lateness. read more

My second time using SF Local Moving & Storage, and everything was great once again. I had 2 movers, didn't need a truck since it was a same building move. And we had moved out my entire apartment into the new one in around 3 hours. Definitely would recommend and will be using in them in the future! read more

I had my movers cancel on me hours before they were scheduled. I called Edgar and he was able to schedule me in later in the evening. Edgar and Alex moved $30,000 worth of art, 2 giant couches and heavy boxes up a 3 story spiral staircase in San Francisco without a single scuff. THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! They are also extremely affordable and nice. If you need movers go with this company!! read more

Great job guys! The movers (Edgar and Denis) showed up on time! Guys were so friendly and professional! Thank you 1000000 time. I can say this is the cheapest rate I found in San Francisco. But the quality is the best!!! This has been the best experience I've had!!!! Thank u thank u thank you guys! read more

I highly recommend this moving company. Last minute wonted someone for weekend. Luckily they had a crew available. They were on time, fast and had done quality and safe work. The two guys who have been showed up were super nice and have got everything done faster then estimated.Thank you guys!!! The entire process was fast and professional with fair pice!!! Would go through them again when we move again!!! read more

Had a wonderful experience with this company yesterday. I scheduled this last minute (two days before). Sergei and Ilya showed up right on time (at 6:30 am on Saturday!). They were extremely nice and respectful of our home. They helped us move our stuff without a glitch. Would definitely work with this company again and recommend them to anyone who needs moving services. read more

Owner has reached out to and was very apologetic and has offered me a discount on my next move for the inconvenience. I was impressed by his willingness to make the situation right. read more

Such an awesome company! I had Vasile and the other guy , do not remember his name, moving my large studio. They were very polite and fun, I've had a feeling that there is no issue in this world that those guys can not handle. Vasile was so nice to repair my dresser which had a problem with a door closing. Awesome guys, fast and cheap! read more

5+ stars for SF Local Moving! They are prompt, reliable, polite and exceptionally efficient!!! They moved my entire apartment in under 2 hours, including very large/heavy pieces of furniture that were tricky to navigate through narrow doorways. I hired 3 movers and the price was extremely affordable (no hidden fees for gas, renting equipment, etc.) and absolutely worth every penny! Edgar and his team made my move completely stress free and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers in the city. read more

I requested a fixed price estimate to transport a single item 3 miles and return it a few days later. The company quoted $60 an hour with two hour minimum and told me to go elsewhere. The unwillingness to provide an estimate is analogous to taking a car in for an oil change and being told there is a two hour minimum rate with no limits to the final amount. read more

This company is a great option for a budget move. They charge $60 an hour with a 2 hour minimum. Many companies charge a 3 hour minimum, which is usually more time than I need to move my studio apartment. These guys were finished in 2 hours, including a drive across the bay (San Francisco to Oakland). Impressive! Vasile and Artur were my movers. Here are a few things that went well with the move: Vasile and Artur took a lot of care not to bump the walls with any of the large furniture, which I greatly appreciated. I was also pleased at the care and attention they paid to my house plants. I had one plant that was so tall it almost didn't fit in the truck. Vasile spent several minutes positioning the plant so that he could close the door without damaging it. (Thanks, Vasile, for the extra attention). I'll edit this part out if it causes the company trouble, but also noteworthy is the fact that the company agreed in the reservation process to let me ride from SF to Oakland in the moving truck. I don't own a car, so this was a hurdle I knew I needed to figure out, and this company provided the most convenient solution. The move in to the new apartment was more efficient than the move out of the old one, since they had taken care to stack and organize my boxes for maximum efficiency on the other end. I received a very straightforward quote, including a driving fee of $35 for driving across the bay. No hidden costs here, and I paid what I expected to pay. Thanks for a hassle free move, guys. read more

Reliable and strong movers with good communication skills. Stayed in touch with me throughout the move. Totally honest and careful with my furniture and the house. Would definitely use these movers again. read more

THANK YOU EDGAR AND TEAM!!! Moving is a stressful process but these guys made it so easy. They were beyond helpful and enjoyable to work with. They were right on time and the price was right. Thank you!! read more

Recommend! We had 2 movers move us from a 1 bedroom on the second floor to a 3 bedroom house. Arturo and another guy (I didn't catch his name) were very smart and intuitive about moving and successfully disassembled and reassembled 2 complex pieces of furniture. We needed to get rid of some cumbersome pieces and they took care of that as well at no additional charge. They did end up breaking the glass bowl of one of our more fragile lamps. Accidents do happen, and it was during the ride over. They insisted on paying us for the full amount to replace and were very apologetic. I was happy with the way they handled it. We tipped them each $40 and they were on their way after 3.5 hours of moving! I do have one gripe with this company though. Eric K, the guy I corresponded with after replying to a Craigslist ad, said that the $55 for 2 movers rate that is listed is only for the smallest truck, which would be too small for our needs. He said we would need the bigger truck at $65/hour with 2 movers. Our movers showed up with a 16' truck and later in the move, mentioned in passing that it is their smallest truck. They also have 20' and 24' trucks. I do feel that this is a shady advertising practice done by upper management, but I'm happy that I ended up getting wonderful service from our movers. Would use again :) read more

This group made my life so much easier during my move. They accommodated a request on short notice for a great price. They were extremely respectful, quick moving, and friendly! Sergay went above and beyond in his customer service. I would use them again and will refer them to everyone I know! read more

These guys were amazing! Very efficient! Found them on Craigslist and was quoted $95/hour for 3 men which is much less than this other well-known company wanted to charge us. I was suspicious as the ad didn't have fheir company's name, and I communicated with Eric who uses a gmail account. After he revealed to me the name of the company and I read the reviews here, I was convinced we should go for it. They moved our busy 2 bedroom apt in San Francisco into a house in Marin in exact 6 hours. Seems like a lot but we had way too much crap and I swear these guys were as fast loading their truck as it gets! We had three young European dudes who were strong and on top of it and easy to communicate with. My husband was so impressed that he tipped them $40 each - and I hope that other people are doing the same, these guys work hard and deserve it. My only advice to their boss Eric: put the company's name somewhere in your ads and also a link to these yelp reviews. That will make you look more professional and bring on more business! read more

SF Local Moving completely saved my life. At least that's how I felt. After moving with the help of friends into a guaranteed, sure-thing sublet I found out that it wasn't at all legitimate and I would need to leave soon. After moving everything in myself I was uninterested in the idea of moving and was more than content to hire movers. The two gentlemen showed up at my door promptly and made very quick work of moving my 1bd 1ba worth of fragile electronics and misc boxes to a studio with no elevator. I was concerned about my brand new tv and computer monitor, but for no reason because everything arrived in perfect shape. This would have taken me days to do on my own in SF with no car. The price is very fair, they make it look easy and they are very professional. Cheers and thanks! read more

I was very disappointed with the service I received. First, I was told we would be provided wardrobe boxes free for use. However, when the movers arrived, they said they had sold the boxes - so we had to quickly figure out a way to pack all of our hanging clothes, and they didn't offer to help. Additionally, I am extremely disappointed with how long the process took. My studio apartment was entirely packed when they arrived, however it took them over 3 hours simply to load the truck. My new apartment is less than a 10 minute drive away from the old one, and the entire process somehow took over 5 hours. (That's with them simply stacking everything on top of each other in the new apartment and putting nothing together.) I've moved in less time myself, so the only conclusion I can draw is that they were purposefully dragging their feet in order to charge me more. I had seen positive reviews on yelp when I booked this, but I was extremely disappointed in the service I received. read more

Really nice moving company. I moved a lot of stuff. Rustam and David were nice and accurate. I would highly recommend Ararat Moving especially if you are in Daly City. read more
