Moving day . Alex and Maxim both were very friendly and came in on time, assessed the whole space and started boxing things up. They took great care and packed all items very nicely and professionally. Slight language barrier but all good. Would highly recommend them if you are moving.. Thank you both. read more

I had a great experience with these guys. They were upfront with cost, very helpful, and they really took good care of my stuff during the move. I was surprised at what a positive experience it was. I felt like myself and my stuff were totally safe and respected. read more

Maksim and his crew were incredible. Our previous mover cancelled on us last minute and these guys stepped up big time on short notice. They showed up on time and extremely energized. They all had smiles and were extremely polite the entire time. We moved a 3 bedroom townhouse in 3-4 hours because they were incredibly efficient. They had all the tools to disassemble and reassemble our furniture and we're very quick at it. They covered all our furniture with blankets and plastic to keep them clean and damage free. Their truck is huge too so no worries on fitting everything. At our destination we had a very narrow stairway with annoying posts and sharp turn into the door (see pictures) and they got our huge sectional couch in no problem. They also were careful to put the correct boxes and furnitures in the correct rooms. We have all moved in and unpacked now and found nothing broken or missing. We are referring them to our friends and would recommend them to EVERYONE!! Maksim is ripped by the way and they can carry all the heavy stuff without you lifting a finger. read more

Would give Zero rating had there been an option. I was a returning customer as the owner Maxim had provided good service 2 years back but with expanding business, he has now hired highly lazy, inefficient, under equipped and arrogant workers Alex and Vagram - WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO HIRE THEM. Alex is supposedly 10 years experienced but I have never seen a mover as unfit and inexperienced as him. They did multiple damages to our new house as shown in the photos. They are not physically fit guys who can lift heavy weights easily, they are highly inefficient workers who take lot of time to figure things out for moving - ultimately damaging and charging exorbitant price at the end for the worthless work they do. They took more than 8 hours to move a 2bhk apartment stuff even though everything was packed except two beds and a sofa, that too for moving once only between cities 8 miles apart. For the first hour, they kept carrying 2 boxes/2 lamps in elevator from 4th floor to ground floor at a time, WHO DOES THAT? They just tried to kill time to charge more by working leisurely until we called and complained to the owner Maxim. They tried to move the sofa (standard IKEA sofa) and dining table in and out of both old and new house for almost an hour, SEVERELY DAMAGING OUR WALLS OF THE NEW HOUSE and then left it outside the house without taking it in saying they won't move it in and said "it's your sofa, you figure out how to move it later, we are done!" Also saying, "these damages are easy fixes" Seriously??? Then after we argued that how could you abandon these outside like this, Alex asked for $300 for just disassembling the sofa and moving it in!!! At the end when we called Maxim to report to him the situation, Alex finally agreed and disassembled the sofa in few minutes and took it easily in right away. Professional movers can figure out in one glance if they need to disassemble anything or not instead of wasting time trying and at the end damaging and finally abandoning things outside the house. They don't even carry motorized screw driver to disassemble/assemble things faster, no shoe covers - making our new house carpet completely dirty, no elastic belts to drag things - leaving stains in our new mattress, no step ladders to reach higher things - we had to provide them ours, don't have enough rugs to cover the wood and carpet surfaces of a new house - so be prepared that everything will get dirty, WHAT CRAPPY MOVERS ARE THESE?? NEVER HIRE THEM EVER!!! I had read the bad review about them few days prior to my move and had requested Maxim that he should come himself instead of letting them come for my move. He didn't inform me that he is not coming and is instead sending them. During the move when I reported to him my bad experiences, he kept calling to coordinate to help the situation and at the end he charged us for 6 hours instead of 8 hours. But giving discount is not going to solve all problems. Hiring good workers and training them is!!! Shifting is already stressful, the added mental toll during the move due to such bad experiences makes it even worse. Most importantly, who takes care of the severe damages done to a new house at the end??? Why would someone hire you if one has to take all these extra headaches???? read more

Amazing work! I had a multi-city move and these guys helped take all the stress and work out of it! Phenomenal job, very courteous, and helpful. read more

Max and the team are the best! If you want fair prices, reliable and careful handling for your possessions and a really low stress experience, call UMOVE! You will work directly with the owner of a family business and will get outstanding and reliable service every time. I work with Seniors and need movers who are able to work in many different settings and with many different family members during stressful times. Max and team make it look easy. Definitely call them for your next move! read more

UPDATE: I recently received an email (9/12) from the owner (Max) disputing my YELP review. Let me be clear - I will not delete my review about the services received from your company! I had emailed the owner (Max) way ahead of time, with links related to the furniture that required assembly at my new location - includes a new chair and kitchen cart. He claims to dispute this as well - but I have the email proof. In addition, he actually insults me by stating in the email "... I tried to communicate with you, but it was a bit hard to explain that everything was up to the plan as too much emotions from your side." Ummm...hello?? Are you serious about writing this to me?? Last, I have posted photos of the dents on my new rolling desk cart as proof. When the movers arrived at my location, I instructed them to be very careful about my possessions. The younger of the two workers did not listen and did not use any blankets to wrap my rolling cart! He basically shoved it onto a wheeled dolly and stacked more boxes on top. Again, I encourage others to seek a different moving company. You will save your furniture and yourself unnecessary stress! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! Normally, I am a reasonable person and very communicative with the people I work with; however, in this instance, using this company was a really bad experience. The owner did call me, the day of my move, to inform me that they were running late from a morning job - which is fair enough. However, they were running 2-hours late! I have been exchanging emails with the owner (Max) weeks ahead of time discussing the rate ($128.00 per hour @ minimum 3-hours), services involved, and time/date of the move. I even sent him photos of items that were to be moved, furniture that required disassembly and reassembly at my new location. He sends me information about "double-drive time" and assures me that the movers can do everything for me, including assembling furniture. When the two movers finally arrived, they had no clue what the job was about, and proceed to inform me that I had to sign the contract before they would work on anything. Next, they tell me that if I don't pay in cash, the company will charge a higher rate of $138.00 per hour instead if a credit card was used. I was absolutely livid!! During email communication, the owner stated he took all different types of payment - but NEVER mentioned the higher rate using a credit card. During the move, I told the movers to be very careful about the new Autonomous sitting/standing desk, rolling cart, monitor and TV. The younger of the two workers didn't give a damn about my personal possessions, and actually scratched and left a dent on the corner of my rolling cart!! When the two movers finally arrived at my new location, they did put my boxes away and then proceeded to assemble the furniture. However, the two workers suddenly stopped everything and asked what arrangements I had with the owner about the furniture assembly. I had to explain the situation to him and then he contacted the owner and asked me to speak to him (Max). The younger of the two workers stated "...we're just workers, he's our boss. We're just here to move stuff". I ended up with an argument with the owner over the hourly rate and his explanation of "double-drive time" for the movers and then he quotes me a new rate of $80.00 per hour for the movers to assemble my furniture. During the argument over the phone, the owner (Max) gives me a sales pitch "....come on, I'm on your side on this matter. You pay for the move and then pay the workers a different rate for furniture assembly". Really??!! Do you actually think it's cheaper for me? It was a long, hot day and everyone just wanted the whole ordeal to end! Again, I would not recommend this company to anyone! Moves are already stressful - save yourself the additional grief and headache. read more

I needed to move all of our furniture out of our house with less than a week's notice. UMove was able to accommodate our tight schedule and was exceptionally fast and careful with all of our furniture. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Two guys helped to pack up our whole lives into a 15" uhaul. They had to play some Tetris along the way to make everything fit but everything made it in. Every single item was properly secured and nothing was broken in the move. They were very efficient and didn't waste any time. Would use these guys again. read more

UMove was great and I highly recommend! The movers were very professional and were able to pack up all my furniture very quickly. I had glass tables and delicate furniture and they handled it with care. Compared to other movers, UMove is a better price as well. Highly recommend. read more

They did a great job with our move. Starting from getting the quote, to being on time and being courteous. Everything was completed on time. They sent me a estimate and they stuck to it. Nothing was damaged during the move. I had packed my own boxes and dismantled the furniture to make it a quick move. They do offer these services , i had time so decided to do it myself. I would say "No non sense guys, no fuss guys. I would definitely reach out to them again in the future. Competitive pricing... read more

We had an amazing experience with UMOVE! Maxim and Alex were very professional, courteous, careful and efficient. I contacted several moving companies for a long distance move request (from Bay Area to LA) and UMOVE was the only one that responded back to me immediately with confirmed availability and a very reasonable quote. I really appreciate their flexibility and accommodating our last minute move request (called on Sunday and they scheduled us for the move that same Thursday). They got the job done as fast as possible, took care of all our stuff, and impressively transported large pieces of furniture up narrow flights of stairs. We highly recommend UMOVE to anyone looking for a reliable moving company! read more

Maxim and a team were professional and handled a very complicated cross country move from Miami to SF Bay. They packed everything carefully and delivered 2 days earlier than promised. Nothing was damaged in the process, they took care of all the delicate things, walls and floors. Would definitely recommend to use them. read more

They arrived on time and moved all the items swiftly from origin to destination. Highly recommend them for their diligence and punctuality.

UMove did an amazing job helping us move! They were extremely thorough and careful. They gave me the most affordable quote with everything included, were very responsive and followed through with all of our expectations. I would highly recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

High recommend. UMove showed up on time, did all work as promised, and stuck to their price. Alex and Sergey, the guys from UMove, were great. They were very friendly, and handled all my mom's stuff - from her furniture (they had to disassemble and reassemble a hospital type bed) to the food in her fridge (wrapping her yogurts and bananas) with care and professionalism. I would hire them again for sure. read more

Maxim and Alex were fantastic. Very efficient and helped us move quite quickly. Would definitely recommend using their services. They did give us the timeframe of 2-4pm and arrived at 4:10pm, which is understandable because they were moving someone else earlier in the day. And 10mins late isn't a big deal for us. They didn't ask us to review them on Yelp or for 5 stars. We just loved their service. Hence, the 5 star rating. :) read more

Fantastic service, reasonable rates, and a great crew (shoutout to Maxim, Sergey, and Yura!). Moving can be stressful; UMove made the process much easier. Highly professional, efficient, excellent communication, and careful with all items. I appreciated the quality work/services, and assistance. Highly recommended, and I would not hesitate to use them in the future for any moving needs. read more

Do NOT hire!!!! Contacted U-Move and scheduled an appointment for 3pm today. Everything seemed fine until about 2:40pm I get a text asking, "What time did we schedule for again?" They say they are stuck in Vacaville traffic and need to extend the start time until 5pm, "Would this be okay?" Not really, but we have to move today and I don't have much of a choice right? So we take the extra time to finish packing and have dinner. 5pm comes and no one so I call to ask for ETA. He says he is in San Francisco and has to call me back to let me know how long it will take him to arrive. But earlier he said he was in Vacaville?? Just sick of this terrible customer service- more accurately absolutely no customer service- we just hired other movers. I sent UMove a text telling them we had to hire someone else because they were not getting back to us with ETA and they were already going on 3 hours late from the time we had originally scheduled. Much later, he finally he calls me back to tell me I have to wait another hour, but I had already sent a text telling him I already hired someone else!! His response to my complaint about how horrible all of this is, "Well as long as the job gets done and you are happy." I am absolutely in no way shape or form happy at all. The lack of insight of this person is also horrible. How could he even say that to me after all of this?! Worst place ever. Do NOT hire!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update as of 6/17/19 Over the weekend I got a message/text saying, "Really? Can we reimburse you to change the review?" I had to pay $500 to hire last-minute movers because of the total lack of professionalism from this terrible company. Then they resort to trying to bribe me? This company has no business ethics and clearly has no respect for other people. No, U-Move, you cannot buy me I am not for sale and not to be bribed. People deserve to know how terrible your company is, its lack of ethics, and lack of integrity. U-move made my moving date horrible. It put us five hours behind schedule and come the weekday now we still are behind just because of this company. Their lack of communication is horrible, the going back and forth is confusing, the lack of follow-through is atrocious, and the fact that they have tried to bribe me is mind-blowing. How does this company just keep getting worse and worse?? Now I doubt these 5-star reviews on Yelp and other places they advertise (I originally found this company on ThumbTack). Who knows if they bribed others to leave high rating reviews or to change their reviews. They tried with me. read more

Maxim and Alex were fantastic! They were super efficient, detail-oriented, and careful. They were flexible with scheduling and super responsive. Not to mention they were just a pleasure to be around during moving! Highly highly recommend them and I'll certainly be using them next time I move if I can. :) read more

I highly recommend using this company for your move. Communication, flexibility, pricing all top notch. The team went above and beyond with the service. I really cannot say enough. Stop your search and book them now. read more

Showed up on time and did a great job! I requested three men come to make the move faster and I'm happy I did that. They were nice, didn't wear masks because they said they were vaccinated and I was ok with that. Would recommend! read more

Definitely give them a chance for your move. We had an in state move from a 4 bed home to another one few miles away. Maxim and crew were professional from the get go. He did a video walkthrough of our home to give a detailed quote and also a "not to exceed" price so as not to nickel and dime you on hours unlike some other run of the mill movers. We had a last minute change in date which he was able to accommodate even though might have been a pain to reschedule his crew plans. They cane in time the day off, had two trucks since we had a big house and four crew worked tirelessly for around 12 hours to get us to the new home. They also helped with some of the fragile packaging (just let them know upfront). All in all, excellent movers so have them in your short list. Recommend them. read more

Like anyone who is about move to new place the moving day is one of those days you feel nervous and anxious. But the whole team from UMOVE were very professional and kind and most of all they are very good at what they are supposed to do. I was very happy and will use their service if I move again. read more

We moved this past weekend with UMOVE, and I have never had such a pleasant and easy experience with movers before. We were quoted a reasonable price, they showed up on time, and expedited getting us loaded up and over to the new house. Max was totally up front about him taking 10 minutes for a phone call, and deducted that from our time - as well as the time for their lunch, which they took AFTER driving to the new house so there was no question about the time they took to arrive. Our things arrived in perfect condition, and took less time than we'd anticipated. If we ever move again (god help us, please no...) I would 100% use UMOVE again. Thanks guys, great work!! read more

I have moved multiple times here in the Silicon Valley and I am so happy to recommend UMOVE. They were efficient, fast, and most importantly careful with the furniture. I really appreciate it!! I messaged them to ask for a quote, and they were able to do it for the next day!! Thank you I will definitely reach out to them when I have to pick up other furniture for my new flat! read more

I contacted UMOVE to help me move a sofa that was being delivered to the wrong address. Their prices were very reasonable, and their response time and communication were excellent! I would definitely contact them again for my moving needs. Highly recommend!!! read more

Excellent service! Maksim the owner and Sasha worked hard to get everything finished in 1.5 days. They are real profis and disassembled our expensive furniture in old house with hardwood floors. They installed everything back in the new home without any single scratch to the items or the floors. Professional, friendly, smart and delicate. Truly a gem, if you don't want to deal with big companies and want excellent service from a small business that really cares UMOVE is a way to go. read more

This was my very first time hiring someone to help me move, and I am so happy I did. Maxim is a pro -- he was responsive going into my move and throughout, and very clear and honest about pricing up front. He and Alex made sure our furniture and belongings were wrapped up and handled with care, even taking apart the bed and putting it back together about five times faster than I could have done it. I also really appreciate that they were so friendly and considerate throughout -- it's clear they care a lot about their customers and doing great work -- thanks so much, Maxim and Alex! read more

UMOVE - Thank you, Maxim and Alex! You are pros. - Movers Near Me

When requesting quotes from three moving companies, I was surprised to see how much lower the rate was for UMOVE and wondered if that was indicative of some problem with them, but they did a great job. They were on time, and got everything done efficiently. They were even willing to wear masks when I asked, and they handled a problem with the elevator with positive attitudes. Thanks Maxim! read more

Called them Thursday 8-18 because I got a ridiculously heavy bed and frame. They accommodated, they kept in touch with text and yelp to confirm time. Most important,they showed up.lol. Very pro. Plastic on bed so no stains. Delivered to other property and even helped me move out my other bed and made sure I was happy before they left. This is what used to be expected years ago and now it's hard to find. Remember the name 'umove'. Solid dudes. Thanks alot read more

Simply the best. I felt so lucky to find them! We hired UMOVE for four jobs in a row as part of a move involving a clear-out & reordering of the contents of 2 houses. You won't go wrong with these guys. Just hire them. read more

I've never written a yelp review before, but I really wanted to write this time because I highly recommend moving with the UMOVE team, especially Alex and his buddy. They arrived on time. They carefully packed and moved furniture with no damage at all. They communicated well with me, complied with my requests. They did not waste any time. Things went very very smoothly. Their job was beyond my expectations. I cannot thank you enough. I'd like to use UMOVE again. read more

Overall very happy with the service. Reliable, punctuation and best of all only one flower drip tray broke. Very polite and helpful crew.

These these guys were fantastic to work with. I found them on Yelp two days before I moved out of my long-time, third floor SF apartment. I took a chance on them since they are new and didn't have many reviews yet, and the gamble paid off! Maxim was very communicative and clear about cost and timing. They were very careful in the way they handled all of my things and asked many questions about how I wanted my items wrapped up or carried and where the items should be placed in the new location. They arranged everything neatly in their truck and then arranged it all carefully in my new basement (see photos). They also disassembled and reassembled my bigger furniture efficiently with care. I have heard horror stories about experiences some of my friends have had with movers- like with missing boxes and drugged out movers-- but Umove was perfect. I am thrilled with their work; don't hesitate to hire them! read more

We hired UMOVE movers and Alex and Fazik helped us move on a Friday noon. Note that this was our second move in less than 2 months and we were exhausted to say the least. They showed up right on time and helped us move everything and were very careful and meticulous in their work and made sure everything was in good shape. Although they took a little longer than we expected, we didn't hate our move like we did the last few times. Kudos to these guys! read more

Quick response. Competitive price. Good communication. Professional. On time. Friendly. Courteous. Would definitely call Maxim and Victor again. read more

They packed our three Uhaul u-boxes to the BRIM on Memorial Day. They were super thoughtful and careful to pack everything properly and as efficiently as possible. I cannot explain to you how FULL these boxes were. They really did a good job and the movers that unloaded it in our destination remarked on this as well. The price was more than fair considering the quality of the packing. And on a holiday with maybe two days notice at that. read more

Maxim was super responsive with competitive pricing. He was able to book a last minute move. He was clear in his communication when he would arrive and expectations of how long it would take. The part that stood out the most to me was he had lots of wardrobe boxes to accommodate all my clothes. I would definitely recommend their moving services! They are kind, reliable and honestly just good people. read more
