NO SHOW NO CALL Last Thursday, 10/22/15 I called and spoke with Steve to set up a move time for that weekend. Because of his full schedule, we decided on Monday 10/26/2015 at 8am. After establishing a start time and ensuring me that all was set and ready to go, Steve no showed on me. I was left to sit and wait and wait until eventually giving up. I phoned Steve 10 minutes before his arrival time, 10 minutes after his arrival time and finally 30 minutes after his arrival time... I have yet to hear back from him. Steve sounded reliable and capable and yet he left me sitting, waiting, with all of my belongings in boxes and no one to turn to. I explained to him that this was a "break up" move and ideally I wanted to have everything out of the home by noon. He was so kind on the phone, I never dreamed I would be left hanging like a chump. I decided not to use someone cheaper, like on Craigslist because of his YELP reviews, however, he left me hanging high and dry in what was already an emotionally difficult situation. Since I have yet to hear back from him, I hope nothing fatal happened to him. However, even a simple phone call to let me know he wasn't going to make it would have been the right thing to do. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! REPLY to Steve: No mistake on the company, we spoke for over 15 minutes and Steve assured me I had nothing to worry about, that he would call to confirm Sunday and I'd see him at 8am on Monday, October 26th. It's in the past now, but I did not mistake the company, nor do I leave negative reviews on family owned businesses just for fun. Sherpa Steve left me in a hell of a spot when I was counting on professional movers. REPLY to Steve 2nd Comment: Thank you for the elaborate definition of what confirmation means, and the condescending tone of referring to me as "dear". That being said, Steve, you told me that YOU WOULD CALL ME on Sunday. You then ended the conversation saying we were all set for Monday at 8am and to not worry about a thing. I left a message on Sunday for you, and again on Monday 20 minutes before your arrival time. Following that, three additional messages were left until it was clear you were a no show. That being said, no hard feelings, MOVERS ON THE MOVE saved me from the jam I was in. Funny, how I didn't hear from you/ no return to phone calls & messages until I shared this experience on YELP. I do appreciate you (kind of) taking responsibility, as that was a horrible experience in what was already a tough situation. Best of luck.... read more

Fast, honest, affordable and professional. Sherpa Steve moving made our move easier and less stressful. If you have a move, I highly recommend him and his team. When moving, things can sometimes break. It happens. While a lot of moving companies will either try to hide it, or not take responsibility... Sherpa steve did not do that. When my TV Stand broke during the move,he quickly told me and already had his wife on the hunt for a replacement one. When it arrived he came to my house and put it on for me. No extra cost. Now that's what I call great customer service!! Anytime I need to move anything in the area, I will be calling him. read more

I contacted Steve after I found his ad on Craigslist, he truly seemed like the nicest one to contact. I needed all my outside plants moved to my new place, I sent him pictures of what I was up against and told him I couldn't afford a lot and could he give me a ballpark estimate. We talked on the phone, set up the most incredibly kind price and set the day. He showed up in full force U-Haul truck, helper and all. Plants were moved with no problem!!! Steve is truly the kindest man, something I hadn't seen in a while. He truly wants to help! I was so grateful he left me in tears of true gratitude. If you need help moving and you DON'T CALL ON STEVE, IT WILL BE A HUGE MISTAKE! !! My faith in kindness has so been renewed. Thank you Steve, I will definitely pay it forward!!! read more

We hired Steve to help us move from our 4 bedroom home, into a 3 bedroom (2 story) home in Scripps. Steve showed up with two additional movers, and they had us all moved in by the end of the day. Steve and his movers were loading boxes before I even had to ask. The entire team followed instructions and remained optimistic the entire day, which made the move a lot less stressful. My partner and I will never call another mover again, because we were so pleased with Sherpa Steve! read more

Sherpa Steve Moving - Movers Near Me

The guy did not show up on time and managed to avoid calls for almost an hour, after which he said the job was to big for him and that we would have to get another service. Unprofessional, irresponsible and inconsiderate! read more

Needed a washer and dryer moved from Rancho San Diego to Alpine. Steve responded right away and was very flexible with timing. He went above and beyond for me and I will recomend him to all my clients. I am a purchase loan officer and hope to bring him lots of referrals. Thanks Steve! read more

Where do I begin? Remember the good ole days where you could find an honest contractor, at a fair price who was going to get the job done as you expected? Honestly, those contractors are few and far between nowadays. But, not with Sherpa Steve. This post is not meant to sound like a sales pitch. Sherpa Steve doesn't need to sell you. He simply gives you a fair price, outlines what he needs to do and does it...and fast...and efficient. I was in a bind with a recent home move where the banks were stringing us along for weeks. It was impossible to reserve a storage unit, take off work and book a mover. I had two movers require huge deposits. I had another mover tell me I was good to go, only to call me two days later and tell me he had to give my spot to someone else. I researched local movers and up came Sherpa Steve. He took my call at 10pm on a Sunday and was there a day later walking my house to give me a price. Days later he showed up on time, with his trucks, suppliers and two guys who were ready to work. The crew did it fast. They did it efficiently and they filled a 26' box truck like it was a detailed math equation. It would've taken me two trucks. But not with Sherpa Steve and crew. Not only did Sherpa Steve buzz through my house carrying couches on his back down a flight of stairs, but Steve also took 10+ big pots with plants inside them to a separate location from the storage unit. Steve's willingness to just "do the work," rather than look for ways to gouge a buyer, is old school, respectable and proves he is a true class-act. To make it even better, Steve took out the calculator at the end and his price blew me away. Honesty wouldn't even begin to explain it. It was such a good price I thought it was wrong. Two days later, as I was leaving my home I realized there was 4-5 more small items that wouldn't fit in my trash. In an attempt to not piss off the new owners of the home, I asked Steve to come by one more time for a quick pickup and he didn't hesitate to say yes. Disaster avoided. I don't have to sell you and I don't need to sell Sherpa Steve. Trust me his work speaks for itself. There aren't enough stars on this review to express my true appreciation for Steve's work. Thanks Steve! Oh also, Steve is a helluva a conversation. Makes the dregs of moving all the more easy. read more

Steve is a hard worker. He has moved my family twice. Once to storage, the other out of town. He is quick and knows what he is doing. I found him through yelp and have not been disappointed. read more

I was lucky enough to be referred to Sherpa Steve from another moving company... and I'm glad I called! I needed help getting my couch up a flight of stairs and into a door that "it would not fit through" according to another delivery company. Steve and friend showed up promptly and did the impossible with a great attitude and affordable price. Thank you Steve for all your help. I will definitely be calling you again! read more

Just finished my move yesterday and my experience with Steve and his crew was awesome! From the beginning, contacting Steve, his customer service was exceptional and offered/followed thru with bringing me boxes ahead of time all the way from El Cajon to solana beach. On moving day, his crew came in like a tornado and did everything! I wasn't even fully packed up. I wasn't really sure what to expect but they took care of EVERYTHING, moved it, and put it all back together in one piece! Nothing broken, extremely professional and courteous. I will absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone who wants to make their moving experience enjoyable!!!! read more

If you need to move, these are your people! Kind, considerate, efficient, hard working, and reasonably priced! I can honestly say Steve has changed my mind about moving. This man and his crew make moving so effortless is almost enjoyable! I recommend them to everyone I know. Trust me, you can't go wrong with Steve. Also, he found me the most amazing couch and delivered it for nothing! Such an awesome guy. And his wife Elaine is incredible as well. Tell them Jonnie sent you! ;) read more

Used these guys twice -- once to move large items from Mira Mesa to Carmel Valley and once to move ALL of my things from University City to Mira Mesa -- and was so pleased each time. It was a big job, but they kept such a great attitude about everything and made the experience enjoyable, not stressful. They were very careful with my delicate belongings (everything was wrapped and lifted very carefully) and were reasonably priced. I would use them again and again and can't recommend them highly enough. --Hollie read more

Steve moved us in June and he and his crew were great. It took them all day, 10 hours but they got the move done. We highly recommend him. He is a genuinely nice person and his prices are very reasonable. Nice, kind, affordable, hard working, we really can"t say enough good things about him. read more

Sherpa Steve and his crew did a great job with my move! Not only did he quote us a great price but they moved us fast and efficient. With Steve, you are dealing with the owner so he takes great pride in what he does and it shows. He loves what he does! If we had an issue with our move, we wouldn't doubt that Steve would bend over backwards to make things right. I would definitely highly recommend him for your next move. read more

Steve arrived on time at 8:00 a.m., exactly as we had arranged over the phone. I was able to just call and text to make arrangements for the move. Steve delivered household goods to two separate destinations, one was a self storage in Lakeside and the other was a condo in La Mesa. The apartment that i was moving everything from was in El Cajon. He and his partner showed up clear eyed and enthusiastic and were both very polite, clean and professional. I was with them the whole time and stayed out of their way as I just sat in a chair and watched them do everything. They Packed all loose items, Steve carefully wrapped every individual plate and dish, they boxed up everything so nicely! The move was a very emotional event for me, as it was my responsibility to empty the apartment of my recently passed uncle. I was very close to my uncle and it would have taken me forever to pack up his personal belongings. Steve and his partner's cheery attitudes really helped the whole process go so much smoother and less traumatic. I was just so stressed over the specter of moving my uncles stuff. I've already recommended Steve to my brother, and they are scheduling a local household move. Moving can be unpleasant and I was fortunate to have found Steve and his guy. They made the move happen with no effort on my part, and he accepts credit card payment. read more

We had to emergency move because of floods that we got last winter. Not only were we racing against time to get all of our stuff out because of the flooding, but we were flying out of the country the next morning!!! After desperately calling several moving companies, only Sherpa Steve was willing to move us, even though WE HAD NOTHING PACKED!!! Long story short, Sherpa Steve and his team MOVED OUR ENTIRE 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT IN JUST 3 HOURS!!! We finished moving the apartment 12 hours before we had to fly out of the country. I am so grateful for Sherpa Steve!!! He gave us the piece of mind to enjoy our vacation in Italy! :) read more

I was skeptical about looking for my own movers because I'm use to them being given to me. When I did my trusty yelping I find Steve and his guys to be close to my residence and they were very intuitive on how to pack my belongings and unload them. At the end of the move of a 3 bed 3 bath, storage and bbq pit, I must say I'm am not the slightest dis satisfied. I'm grateful and appreciative of the hard work these guys put in. Thank you Steve, I'll be using you on any of my moves or furniture quests while in San Diego. read more

I recently sold a couch on Craigslist, and the buyer brought along Steven to help her move the couch back to her house. I was utterly impressed!! Steve -- one man working with a small trolley -- single-handedly moved a large couch with built-in queen-sized bed out of my house, down some stairs, and into the back of a truck! He was also nice enough to help me move another sofa for free!! Oh, and he was punctual, friendly, easy to work with, etc. etc. Really seems to be an expert at his craft. I will definitely hire Steve to move my stuff in the future. read more

5 star experience! Came in on time and went straight to work! Move took a total of 4hrs and we paid a Great price if your looking for some dependable movers you should really give these guys a call. once again tremendous job!!! I can't thank them enough! read more

I called needing some help moving an impossibly large piece of furniture out of my living room (and then all the way outside the house). Steve and his colleague were able to come by later that afternoon to complete the job. He did a great job making sure the house wasn't damaged at all and that the piece came out in good shape. Steve and his colleague were professional throughout and gave us a very competitive price estimate. I couldn't be happier about the move he helped me with and will definitely use his team again! read more

Just had Steve pack me. He arrived on time ready to go. Everything about his service is professional. He took incredible care of all my belongings with the utmost care. I recommend him to anyone who wants to move. Fair prices, curteous service, and they really care for your stuff! read more

I called Steve on a Sunday evening in a bind looking for immediate help. About an hour later he and his partner arrived at my place and hauled a fairly heavy awkward couch up the stairs to my new place. No questions asked, just friendly, straightforward, and ultra-efficient. Very reasonable prices (especially for last minute service Sunday evening), amazing service, and great care taken to keep my new couch pristine. I will definitely be calling on the next move! Thanks guys! read more

Steve and his crew did an incredible job! Crazy good price and very fast. Everything was taken excellent care of and Steve double checks everything. They all make sure your belongings and your house are moved without a scratch! They have been around the block and are always helping with suggestions and making sure you don't forget anything. No work is too small or too big! Love that I can call Steve and he will come out same day if he is available and find a way to fit you in! Super easy going and always felt safe and secure. Loved the personal feel they all brought and will always do any moving with him from small to large. Not a bad thing to say at all! They turned out nightmare of a move into a blessing in disguise! If that wasn't enough, I don't have a yelp account. I created one specifically for this review. read more

need a reliable, honest, prompt, and, experienced mover...well, hire this guy! Made a move simple...made my mom feel happy about her choice, and, made me impressed with how well he handled all the big heavy stuff. Best in the business for a reason...service beyond expectations. read more

Thanks Steve! Yelp pointed me right to Steve Sherpa Moving in a hurry. I was in a 'big pinch' when a former best friend gave me only 24 hours to move out. Steve was the hero that saved the day. Great service with only a short notice, he really knows what he's doing, very friendly, knows the ins and outs of storage facilities, and he gave me a great deal too! He knows how to pack a lot into a surprisingly small space and his team knows how to handle delicate items too. I felt like Gilligan was just rescued off of the island with Steve's incredible help and was even able to relax after a very stressful day. THANKS AGAIN! When you need help moving in San Diego county, I would Highly recommend Steve Sherpa for the job. read more

Sherpa Steve Moving was so good that I'm writing a second review. I had a lot of boxes and heavy furniture with drawers full of things, but I didn't hear one bad word from these very professional movers. When Steve and his crew took over at night, after my original mover defaulted, they brought over my mattress to my new place so I could sleep there - even though we agreed the main move wouldn't take place until the next day. This was typical of the good will service they provided! read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY!!! You will end up paying more trying to hire someone at the last minute because he has not reliable. Hired him a week prior to moving, had to alter moving date for him, resulting in extra tine off of work, provided detailed list of what needed to be moved and he showed up almost 2 hrs late with a flat bed trailer way too small to handle the job! Then said he'd rent a bigger truck locally and come back. Never received call/text, no communication. Wouldn't respond to texts or calls until asked if other arrangements needed to be made. He finally responded and said to "make other arrangements". At 4:30, it was impossible to find someone to move me. This guy has zero character, zero integrity! read more

I am so very disappointed in Steve. Last December I decided to relocate from El Cajon to Virginia Beach, VA as a result of my Son-in-law's (Master-Chief USN) transfer from Coronado to Norfolk VA. My daughter made the arrangements with Steve. He said that he would take care of everything from his end and would contact POD's for the actual move. First he had the POD sent to an address on Main Street. When POD's contacted me and said that they had dropped off the POD at a Main Street address I explained that it was an error and they should deliver it to my address. I called Steve to let him know and he said that it was a mistake. When the POD arrived at my address, I told Steve that it looked like it was too small to hold all of my furniture etc. His response was that he would not have a problem with fitting everything in the POD. When he was packing the POD I could tell that he was struggling with getting it all in. He was constantly removing and replacing items in the pod. When he had everything inside except my bed he said it would not fit, it was his mistake and that he would personally arrange to have my bed sent to me when I got settled in VA. He also promised my daughter that this would be done. When I started calling him after I was in VA, he was not answering my calls or texts. I called him so very many times over a couple of months before he finally responded to me and said that he didn't have my address. I told him that I did not have an apartment yet but he could have it shipped directly to my daughter's address and then text the address to him. After I sent the text it was the very same situation all over again in that he was not responding to a call or text from my or my daughter who was also attempting to contact him. She finally did text him and expressed how disappointed and angry she was with the way everything was handled and the stress her Mom was put through was definitely not acceptable. He was extremely rude toward her. Prior to this, I let Steve have the benefit of my doubts but he went too far with his response to my daughter. This was almost a month ago and I have not heard from him and of course do not expect to at this point. I suppose he thinks that because I am retired and living in another state I will not be able to pursue legal action. Oh, did I mention the items that were ruined and broken as a result of how he stuffed them in the Pod. I have a record of the dozens of calls and texts. It breaks my heart to think that he could be capable of such a thing. I also gave him a truckload of good stuff for his church, at least I thought it was for his church, now I doubt that. Also, Steve had himself as the primary owner of the pod so I had to go through several calls with PODS and Steve in order to access my pod. The entire experience with Steve was extremely stressful. read more

I met Steve Sherpa through my employer who had recently moved. Steve helped my boss on different occasions and he was always prompt, cheery, and prepared. When it came time for me to move out of my apartment, my boss recommended I use Steve. When I gave Steve a call he remembered me by name, and readily agreed to help me move my possessions during a weekend he had booked several other moves, but he found a time that was convenient for us both. He then offered to do the move for me pro bono, since my boss had used him and recommended him and it was a relatively small move. Steve's unexpected generosity blew me away, and truly distinguished him from any another moving company; he really cares and gets the job done well. He has had 20+ years experience moving, and he has figured out exactly how to move efficiently, quickly, and single-handedly without damaging or hurting himself. This was the most impressive part: Steve hauled heavy boxes of books, a full-size couch, a twin mattress, and other items on a dolly, outside of my house, down two sets of stairs, onto his flat bed trailer, and then up another set of stairs at my new place. He did all of this by himself, which is a feat worth praising in itself. His wife Elaine helped wrap some of the items to keep them protected for the drive over and kept him chugging Gatorade. Steve amazed me. His speed, his tried and true methods, his confident and reassuring disposition helped soothe my moving-tensions. It was a genuinely pleasant experience and I cannot sing his praises enough! Thank you Sherpa Steve! read more

I bought some furniture on craigslist and needed to have it moved approximately 7 miles from point A to point B plus unloading to the 3rd floor of an old narrow low ceiling condo complex. I called at least 7 local movers including a company I had patronized in the past and was dumbfounded that so many companies would pass on easy money by sticking to a 2+ hour minimum. I was quoted more to move a 3 cushioned sofa than it cost me for my entire move to San Diego. Ridiculous! Ridiculous until I stumbled upon an ad for Sherpa Steve Moving. I have to admit, I was skeptical at first, but Sherpa Steve far exceeded my expectations by being communicative, easy to deal with, prompt, prepared, and willing to go the extra mile. I hired him to move a sofa and asked him to include - in the price quoted - changing the return on a desk I needed moved in my place. It took him more time to do that than to move the sofa and he did it, all the while, with a great attitude and did not sway from the price quoted. The short of it is Sherpa Steve did an awesome job and I am SO GLAD I didn't go with another moving company. I will use Sherpa Steve for small and big jobs alike as long as I am in San Diego. Many thanks Steve for a job well done!! read more

Sherpa Steve, IS the best moving service for the money. We recently moved on 4th of July, and we were up first. Himself and his coworker Randy together for the job done for moving a one bedroom apartment to a 2 bedroom house. They provided the largest UHaul truck available and practically wasn't even necessary for our size move. They even had tons of moving blankets. They provided wardrobe boxes to accommodate clothes that were hung in the closet. Steve was even soooo generous enough to HANG THEM BACK UP. They are very helpful and like to have a couple laughs in between their work. The customer service was beyond excellent. He stated "we are not finished until you are happy with everything", which gave my wife and I great reassurance that we weren't going to rush our move. I highly recommend Steve, I assume if you live in a bigger home than my family and I, I'm sure he would bring more than himself and Randy. The price was fair to the service, I won't mention how much to keep his prices competitive, but I did leave him quite a tip enough to fill up his truck and buy a couple beers if he wanted. Thank you Sherpa Steve! I hope you are still in business when we decide to move again. read more

Highly recommend Sherpa Steve for any of your moving needs. We were in a jam two days before close of escrow and Steve came to the rescue. He was great for options and thinking outside the box. He even saved us money. Very knowledgeable and provided exceptional customer service! read more

I recently moved from El Cajon to Whidbey Island, Washington and had a POD delivered to my house. Being a senior citizen, I knew I wouldn't be able to load the POD so looked on Yelp and found Sherpa Steve. I was really dreading the whole process, but when Steve and Randy arrived, they completely took control and totally amazed me with the way they got everything organized so it all flowed well and made a point to put me at ease. They made the whole process stress-free and were so easy to work with - they also had great suggestions for things I hadn't thought about! At the end, the POD wasn't even full - very impressive packing!!! Moving is not pleasant at its best, but Steve and Randy really turned it into the best experience possible - very professional and kind guys! I've recommended them to everyone! read more

Steve and Randy were amazing!! Very thorough, very professional, and extremely nice! This was, hands down, the best moving experience we have ever had! If I could give 6 stars, I would! You will not be disappointed. When we move again, Sherpa Steve is first on our list! read more

I had the pleasure of hiring Steve and his crew over the weekend. It was a last minute move to get into our new place and I was very impressed by his operation. He and his crew were very friendly, asked lots of questions to make sure everything would go smoothly, and did it efficiently. He offered his services at a great price and I don't think you could get better service for twice the price. I would use them again without a doubt. Thanks again for the quality service at a reasonable price. read more

Punctual, reliable, friendly, and professional. I hired Steve after being stood up by different movers. From the very beginning, he asked the right questions and gave me a quote over the phone and delivered as he said. Once in my place, he gave me ideas as to how to arrange my furniture given my current furniture layout and even took a few extra minutes to help me dust off the used furniture. GREAT customer service skills overall. He and his crew have years in experience working as movers and it shows as they have a way to communicate and do things without wasting time. I highly recommend Steve and his crew. read more

Honest and trustworthy. Two words that are nonexistent in customer service today. Moving can be a very personal task. After all, someone has access to all of your "stuff." If you've ever experienced a bad move then and only then will you know the value of a great move. My experience with Sherpa Steve was beyond great (and I never physically met the dude). Sherpa Steve handled a sensitive situation with the skill and finesse of a neurosurgeon. If people and business were as responsible and caring as Sherpa Steve, the world would be a better place. Yes, he is that good! Thank you Sherpa Steve and your colleagues. I hope we meet in person one day. I owe you two. read more

Steve did a great job of moving our furniture at a very reasonable price. He even got a piece of furniture into one of the bedrooms that the store delivery people said couldn't be done!! Highly recommend him! read more

Steve is an terrific mover and a total professional. He accepts jobs both large and small. Recently, he did 2 moves for me and both turned out extremely well (no breakage and no problems). His prices are fair and the quality he provides is outstanding. In addition, he has an easy going personality and that makes the whole process even better. read more

My 90+ year-old mother moved to San Diego from Marina del Rey near Los Angeles. After using Steve to move a few pieces I sold to a friend, I knew he was someone I could trust completely for Mom's move. Due to health problems, I could not meet him up there. He not only moved the pieces I asked him to, he communicated with me throughout the day and suggested he bring along a few things she might like having. All of her paintings and sculptures arrived in perfect condition. He ran into problems trying to move a huge, antique wardrobe that my parents had to have hoisted through French doors. Steve and his crew carefully disassembled it and re-assembled it here in San Diego. My Mother had forgotten many of the things that were in her home of fifty years and the pieces that Steve thoughtfully suggested thrilled her. She called him a "real, people person!" All of the furniture was perfectly placed and the moving materials were cleared away. He only charged me for nine hours of work...I couldn't believe it! It took him five hours just to drive up there and back. I insisted on paying fairly and he tried to refuse. Sherpa Steve is dependable, honest to a fault, skilled at what he does and has my highest recommendation. read more
