Professional, high-class movers who truly know their craft! From start to finish, they were a sincere pleasure to work with. My moving crew - Luis, Vicente, Hugo - were efficient, careful, courteous, and organized. They made what is typically a very stressful experience feel remarkably seamless. I couldn't be more pleased with their service and highly recommend them! read more

I was looking for a full service, white glove local moving service to transport some fragile items and Shannon moving and storage did not disappoint! They have transparent pricing, great communication and customer service. They arrived on time, and handled all items with care. When they reached the destination, they unpacked the items and disposed of their boxes, tape etc. I highly recommend them if you don't mind paying for the convenience of being completely hands off and well taken care of! read more

Wonderful job by Shannon. Vicente, Luis and Juan took such care and were so efficient with the piano and my house! Would use again!

I have been storing my belongings at Shannon Moving's Richmond location for the 5 years. They picked up my belongings at my former home, and dropped my upright piano off at a nearby destination free of charge. In addition, they've always been willing to take additional items to my storage unit on my behalf at no extra cost. They've always been accommodating and professional, and have the best rates in town! And they have great Irish accents to boot read more

Shannon Movers made my move SO easy and stress free!! I connected with them a few weeks in advance and I really appreciated the quick, thorough response and quote. They offer a cash discount as well as services to take items to the dump (for a fee). It was this that set them apart from the other companies I had contacted and in my heart I knew these were the movers I wanted for my first time using a a moving company! I moved the first weekend in October and upon arrival the moving team was very kind and informative. They both gave me props on how well I packed which felt good to hear after spending weeks packing haha. They were quick, efficient, kind, and treated all of my items with utmost care. I was thoroughly impressed with their skill level and how they packed the truck (I took a peek and it was like a large game of jenga). They moved me out of my small studio quickly, and up two flights of stairs into my new studio just as quick. The move started at 9AM and ended around 1PM - it was magical to have the rest of the day to relax after moving. I highly recommend this company and crew!!! Thank you all so much! read more

My husband, Alok, and I hired Shannon for a move from Millbrae to San Mateo. Consolidating four floors of house to a one bedroom condo is no joke. These guys at Shannon are are fire. Bomb service. Superlative company, a well-oiled, seamless operation. They go waaaay beyond, planning and execution on point. Never phoning it in, never going through the motions. Awesome guys, approachable, friendly, super attentive to detail. They're humble, kind .... and dialed all the way in! As promised, showing up at 9:am on the dot, proactively asking questions, e.g. one of our bedrooms is a massive walk-in closet with umpteen articles of clothing and accessories, rows of shoe trees ... with an island of dressers in the middle of the space. A lesser mortal would've run out screaming :-) The guys are so darn good, not only did one of them assess the situation, another guy ... and yet another--estimated we'd need a minimum of fifteen hanging wardrobe boxes (oops, my bad: I never showed them my coats closet :-) They instructed for how we should call the following day to arrange for someone to drop them off. Next step, they looked at the folded clothes in the other three closets, and so forth. They're one step ahead and thoughtfully, for the next trip in Dec., they left not only boxes, but also half dozen rolls of packing tape--and will charge according to how much we use! We had four guys take apart and then assemble a complicated mango-wood canopy bed, with nuts, bolts screws. They carefully lay each piece of furniture--leather sofas, wood tables and chairs, Tiffany lamps ... all of it securely wrapped in blankets before loading and unloading. What is their sorcery?Are they wizards? Magicians? How do they do this? In awe. I loved their cooperative conferring with each other, multiple grand, concerted efforts; never did I see one guy playing Lone Ranger off doing his own thing without the other knowing what was up. It was group job, orchestral. They are pristine in the methods, precisely laying down the rugs before putting the heavy furniture on it. Daaaamn. Their commitment to the project. I was nervous before they came and seeing how they operate put me more at ease. I love their communique, the professionalism, timeliness--we reached out to them two days before Thanksgiving and got an immediate automated scheduling response, followed by the owner, shout-out to Keith confirming that same night! Wow. They'll be back next month for phase II of our move! Over decades, I've used several moving companies for my homes and offices. For all they do, their prices are more than reasonable. Btw., their website has a bunch of helpful tips for how to prepare not only for their arrival, but for moving in general. These guys are the ultimate, consummate pros at the top of their game. read more

I recently moved from Southern California to the Bay Area, and my experience with Shannon Moving Company was terrific from start to finish. Because I needed to store my belongings for an unknown period of time while looking for permanent housing, I explored several options--including PACK RAT, a larger corporate moving company, and Shannon. From my very first conversation with Fiachra, the choice was clear. He was transparent, easy to talk to, and laid out a pricing structure that was fair and straightforward--no hidden fees or surprises. For example, he estimated that I'd likely need two containers but might need a third, which motivated me to pare down during pre-packing. In the end, everything fit perfectly in two! Communication was excellent every step of the way. On moving day, Roberto and Julio were fantastic--efficient, professional, and courteous. I asked them to pack a few fragile items I didn't want to deal with myself, and they handled everything with great care. Shannon Moving offers the best of both worlds: the systems and capabilities of a larger company (auto billing, GPS tracking, etc.) with the personalized service of a smaller business--real people who answer the phone, respond to emails, and genuinely care about your experience. I'd definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a move. read more

I moved with Shannon a decade ago in San Francisco and they were absolutely 5-stars then. This review is for a recent move I didn't complete with them. (My move ended up being too small.) The fact they didn't stop being cool even when it was apparent we weren't going to work with each other compelled me to drop a little review love. Upstanding old-school integrity, pro-level communication and all-round cool guys. Thanks again for everything. read more

I've used Shannon movers a number of times now. I found them to be extremely good. The guys are super super helpful. They really take care of your stuff. Wrapping up all the furniture to make nothing gets damaged. They work quickly and are really amazing at just getting the job done. I've recommended them to other friends who also had a wonderful experience. Regarding price, they're fair and competitive in the market. Totally worth it to have zero headaches. read more

I hired Shannon Moving to move me back to San Francisco from the north bay. They were fast and efficient. Very helpful guys who worked VERY hard. I would use them again. The office followed up with me and it was easy to schedule. read more

We've used Shannon moving company twice in the past three months. they wrapped everything safely, took care of fragile items and put it carefully in a storage unit. We ask that labels on the boxes face out so we could see what was in each box. They did this. Another important point was that we asked that our mattress lay flat since putting it on his side would ruin it. They made sure they did. We hired them again when we got our new apartment. They were on time and very careful with our personal belongings. It was definitely worth what we paid. I would definitely hire them again. J. read more

Moving can be stressful and overwhelming. Through my experience with Shannon, I quickly realized their team has a high level understanding of this concept. I was in over my head when moving, but once they showed up, their expertise put me at ease. My POC Fiachra and the rest of Shannon's team were friendly, helpful, efficient, and careful. All of my belongings were transported without any damage. They come prepared and equipped to handle any issues or obstacles that may arise without any additional stress or concern. Overall, Shannon's adaptability, flexibility, and positive energy made my moving experience the best one I've ever had. Shannon's services are the best value I've found in the Bay Area - I wholeheartedly recommend them to my friends, colleague, and anyone in need of moving and storage solutions. read more

We've used Shannon Moving & Storage twice now, and both times have been excellent! They're so careful with our furniture, and we really appreciated their help dismantling and reassembling the baby cribs! The Shannon team also helped take stuff we didn't need to the dump, which saved us so much time. I'm hoping we never move again, but if we have to, I'd definitely use Shannon again! read more

Shannon Movers helped us move from San Francisco to Oregon. We moved a two bedroom, 3 restrooms home, garage and basement. We had so many things I was overwhelmed and feeling bad about how much stuff we have. However, they all came in great spirit and ready for the job. They act quickly, put everything on the truck, we're very careful with our furniture. It was a stress free morning and we even had time to go eat in a restaurant after loading the truck. Next day our big truck arrived in Portland with our things they worked fast again, helped us put all the boxes in their respective room, build bed frames, set dining table. We were worried about our new floors and carpet and they listen to our concerns and made sure to protect both. They are really hard workers, totally worth the price. In addition, we got the best deal with them after calling many places. I very much recommend their services. read more

We used Shannon for our move within San Francisco. The movers handled our items with care while being efficient. The movers are well-versed with the challenges of moving in a city - parking struggles, walk-ups, etc. They were detail-oriented and placed our items exactly where we wanted them, which really relieves stress on us. The price was very reasonable for three movers, and I will 100% be hiring Shannon again for my next move! read more

Had an amazing experience with these guys. Highly recommend. They carry 2-3 heavy boxes at a time and don't balk at difficult moves.

Fiachra and the Shannon team were great to work with since the first initial call. We called a handful of moving companies and Shannon gave us the best price. Moving crew Roberto, Julio and Anthony were very pleasant to work with during a stressful move from Marin down to San Diego. The team was very professional and handled our items with care. Well worth the price and couldn't be any happier to tip these guys at the end of the job. read more

Shannon Moving & Storage - Difficult Driveway for a big truck but the crew made it happen with out any complaints - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I moved from 3rd floor in San Francisco to Las Vegas in December 2023. Three guys packed all my stuff that I didn't pack, and 2 guys unloaded in Vegas. They did a wonderful job, and I didn't have to load or unload anything. It cost $5700, but it was so well worth it. The guys really worked hard. The move included the gas for the truck, a hotel stay, and loading and unloading the truck. They did an excellent job and well worth the money since I didn't have to carry even 1 box. read more

Team Shannon was flexible and accommodated our moving needs. Move 1- Piano across the city. They sent 2 trucks and 5 crew members to finesse the piano down 2 flights of stairs, into the truck and up a flight at the other end. The crew asked if we wanted to load our boxes into the trucks and take advantage of the empty box crossing the city. That saved me the headache of renting a box van. It had not occurred to me they would send 2 giant trucks. That was a score for sure! Move 2- Hustle all our boxes off to storage while we lived in a staged home. Super fast and efficient crew. They didn't like some of my furniture packing and added more blankets to be double sure all was safe. Move 3- Storage to new home after escrow closed. Again, they sent a large crew and two smaller trucks to access the tight driveway at the new place. If we had to move again, Shannon would be my first call. Do yourself a favor and get prices from 2 or 3 others for comparisons. Their service and flexibility outshone any others I have encountered. (Truth be told, on all 3 moves, we picked up burritos for the whole crew and the last time discovered a new favorite taqueria in Concord. Don't tell management that we fed the crew.) read more

I can't say enough good things about Shannon Moving Company. I've used them three times now, and each time they've been a lifesaver during some really tough moments in my life. The first time, I was dealing with the aftermath of a house fire. It was an incredibly stressful period, but Shannon Moving handled everything with such care and professionalism. They made a difficult situation a lot easier by taking the stress out of moving my belongings. The second time was for my mum, who needed to move her things from San Diego to San Francisco. Once again, Shannon Moving came through. They were so kind and considerate and they made sure her things were transported safely and smoothly. Most recently, they helped me move to my new apartment. The team was amazing--so professional and efficient. I didn't have to worry about a thing, which was such a relief during what could have been another stressful move. I also use their storage services, and I'm so happy knowing that my belongings are in good hands. It's one less thing to worry about. Thank you, Shannon Moving, for all your help and for making each move as smooth as possible. I've already recommended you to friends who are moving, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. You guys are the best! read more

We hired Shannon Moving for a local move with multiple stops. The office responded to our request (and follow-up communications) promptly and was very transparent about timing and estimation of the cost (which ended up being close to the actual cost, and was reasonable for 3 movers). The movers were very thorough, careful, and efficient in packing, moving, and unpacking all of our items, despite the multiple stops and many items. They were also very attentive to the many moving procedures/regulations at all of the locations and checked with us about where we wanted all the items to be placed, which saved us a lot of work and stress on our move! read more

Shannon Moving, among others, was recommended to us by our apartment manager. After reviewing several Yelp pages and requesting quotes, we decided to go with Shannon Moving since they provided the most thorough quote and detailed information compared to the others. We scheduled our move a few weeks in advance and the team answered all of my questions via Yelp and email, including our request to have a COI (certificate of insurance) for our apartment building. I checked in with them a week before to confirm, and all looked good. When I went to approve the estimated invoice, I noticed the price was higher. After clarifying, it seems our original quote was the weekday rate but we were moving on a weekend, so it was $15/hour higher, but this didn't match our quote. Ultimately they honored the price given to me on our original quote, and I appreciated their integrity on that! Finally, they called me the day before to confirm final details. The morning of, they showed up right on time and worked with our building concierge to find the optimal location to park. 3 guys led by Juan were efficient and professional, wrapping everything that should be wrapped and loading things carefully into their large van, down 22 floors using the service elevator. Since most of our stuff was in boxes already, my wife and I didn't have much to do while they moved things, so they allowed us to help move some boxes down throughout to speed up the process a little. We left around the same time and arrived at our new place around the same time, and they were efficient in moving things in. Total it took 5.25 hours from SF to San Jose including the drive time and moving out/in. We ultimately ended up on the higher end of our original quote, but it was fair because we had more stuff/boxes/desks than the average 1BR move. When it came to payment, it was easy via credit card on their tablet, and Juan didn't pressure us to tip, though we gave a generous cash tip, of course. It was a smooth experience and I'm so glad we went with Shannon Movers (not to mention to have hired movers this time instead of moving ourselves). I'd work with them again with our next move! read more

My favorite in Brentwood! The food, the staff, the family atmosphere are wonderful. Highly recommend.

Moves within San Francisco are at best challenging and at worst difficult. No exception here. I moved from a building with no legal parking adjacent to building, so an SFPD motorcycle officer moved the drivers around the block. The Shannon movers were courteous and complied with the officer and hand-trucked furniture to truck located on next block without getting a citation. The building I moved to is in the middle of downtown and again, parking was half a block away. Movers unpacked and hand trucked furniture to building and professionally interacted with door personnel awaiting my arrival. Great job, well done and thanks to their patience and professionalism in handling an in-city move. I would of become frustrated, but they remained calm and got the job done. read more

Shannon Moving & Storage - Shannon Movers at work downtown SF. - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is my second residential move in 7 years with Shannon Moving. My first experience was very good, and so I hired them again for my recent move. My experience this time was phenomenal. During my initial consultation, and at key touch points along the way, Fiachra was warm, helpful and knowledgeable. On my moving day, my move team consisted of Hugo, Memo and Juan. These guys are the real deal. Equal parts strong, careful, kind and very hardworking, Hugo, Memo and Juan remained professional, friendly and attentive throughout my 13+ hour move, which included loading the contents of my storage space onto the truck first, and then moving my belongings down a steep flight of 36 stairs. They carefully shrink wrapped all cabinets and took great care. The move also included some challenges, including moving some very heavy and large cabinets, and getting a sideboard up a very compact spiral staircase. Their determination to "find a way" and persevere was impressive. They also disassembled and reassembled a light fixture to enable placing a tall cabinet just beyond. Shannon also offers affordable monthly storage for items you wish to hold onto that won't fit into your current space, which can be loaded onto your truck for your next move. This happened to me 7 years ago, and along the way I had a few questions about the contents of my storage space. I was pleasantly surprised when they opened the space to send me photos and answer questions about the contents. I strongly recommend Shannon Moving for your next move. In a world that is often so corporate and impersonal, Shannon Moving exemplifies excellent Customer Service, and is the kind of business I am so happy to support. Thank you Fiachra, Hugo, Memo, Juan and the Shannon Moving team. read more

I hired Shannon M&S for a large local move, the crew was composed of 6 men, they were all very professional, efficient, trustworhty.It took them 3 days, which is not much for the amount of things we had.

Overall we will use them again and we recommend anyone to hire them. read more

Late to review but they were great communicators. They did a quote in person for free and were just amazing during the whole process. 10/10

Felix & Arturo did great work. They rolled with my uncommon plan to pickup from 2 locations and load a uhaul box. They did it all right at the 3 hour minimum and loaded the box so we'll that I didn't need the second one I planned for. Super nice, helpful, smart. A great deal, solid service. read more

The crew at Shannon Moving, from the person I booked over the phone with to the guys that did the heavy lifting, were absolutely fantastic. Everyone was super friendly, efficient, and professional. Not a single item was damaged, which I can't say the same for previous movers I've used in the past. They were recommended to me by a friend, and I will happily pass that recommendation on to others! read more

This review is long overdue for the professional service that the whole team at Shannon Moving & Storage provided. I called the office and spoke to Fiachra who explained everything to me and set up an estimate appointment. My move was going to be tricky due to a large sofa and narrow hallways(SF city life ), Fiachra offered a very reasonable quote for the move and answered all my questions. On the day of the move the Shannon moving team of Roberto, Julio and Anthony arrived on time and ready to tackle my move from the 1st floor to 3rd floor and disassembled my bed, and moved all the large items in a quick timely manner. Next up was my sofa which required the Shannon team to hoist my large sofa from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor on the outside of the building, the Shannon team were amazing and made it look easy. I can't speak highly enough of all the team at Shannon Moving & Storage, if I move again my first call will be to book them. read more

Shannon Mover Team-Roberto, Antonio and Cinnamon were fantastic! They were pleasant and helpful. They moved things carefully and efficiently in two different building who have their own set of rules.

I had an excellent experience using Shannon for my in-city move. Roberto and crew worked quickly and efficiently to pack up and unpack all my belongings. They were also kind and good sports about going up a few flights of stairs on both ends of the move. Would definitely use Shannon again! read more

Shannon Moving & Storage is truly outstanding. We spent two years remodeling our home and when we finally moved back in, everything was new and perfect: paint, trim, walls, floors. We wanted to hire a moving company that would take the utmost care with our belongings and our home. Shannon delivered. The crew were wonderful, so very helpful and hardworking, and it was reasonably priced. Not a single thing was scratched or damaged. The following morning when I was trying to find a particular item, I texted the guys. They remembered exactly what box they had packed it in, how it was labeled, and where it wound up. Wow. That level of excellent service is rare in this day and age. They are the BEST. We're really grateful. read more

I used Shannon for in city move. I had a very easy experience. I was able to book same week. Due to my move being in city I did not pack very well and informed my movers of this. It's been a week and I'm finally able to unpack and realized how well they took care of my belongings. They wrapped anything needed. They were very efficient and very polite. No ego. I highly recommended if you want a great service in addition to a trusting good price. I didn't know hood service for a responsible price still existed. 1 bdrm apt moved in 2-2.5hrs. No drama, just easy and good workers. read more

We are FIRST TIMERS when it comes to hiring Movers. WOW DID WE HIT THE JACKPOT! We moved from a one bedroom apartment into our first home. Shannon Moving was extremely prompt on replying with an estimate and their availability. Great pricing in my opinion, some of the best in the bay. I was so stoked they were able to move us on the 4th of July weekend (huge bonus to be available on a SUNDAY, no less). Roberto and Julio were super fast and very friendly. Both were extremely helpful. All of our items made it safe and sound, perfectly intact. Roberto and Julio even measured all doorways, triple checking our new space before unloading. They went above and beyond the call of duty. I can't recommend Shannon Moving enough! Thank You! read more

We have used Shannon twice now, once within SF and now from SF to Mill Valley. Both times they have been incredible! They are so professional, helpful, careful, responsive, and just seamless from the very first call through the move! I felt so comfortable with my team and trusted them completely. They moved everything with care, went above and beyond, and are truly best in class! Can't recommend enough! read more

I had an awesome experience with Shannon Moving & Storage! Extremely professional and efficient crew.
