"Jay's Small Moves was punctual and arrived right on time at 8am, which I was extremely surprised about especially since it was a Saturday. I was worried about the items that couldn't be put in a box (i.e. large lamps, computer tower, bathroom mats, etc.), but they have large "speed-pak" boxes where they carefully pack the "loose" items in. The team had lots of blankets (for the TV, mirrors, etc.) and shrink wrap (for desks, futon, sofa, etc.). We didn't have our bed disassembled before they arrived, but not to worry because one of the movers did it for us. They have the tools and they are very well experienced because one person disassembled the bed within 10-15 minutes. Needless to say I was impressed. Packing took around a little over a hour and a half and getting to the house took around another half hour. Upon arrival at the house, the team was quick to unload, but also extremely careful about not scratching the walls or leaving any scuff marks on the wood floor. The bed frame was reassembled within 10 minutes (*mind blown*) and they finished unloading within 45 minutes or so. While unloading, they were very attentive to where boxes need to go (boxes labeled kitchen went to the kitchen, etc.). All in all, my wife and I were very surprised at the efficiency and professionalism of the workers. While they are priced $10/hr higher than other movers, I would gladly pay the additional money for the level of service. **As a side note, we provided 3 cold bottles of water for the team - I think this goes a long way!"

"Overall, my experience was very good. The person who helped me with my quote was responsive and personable. We did have some communication issues regarding some of the items we wanted moved. We crews that helped us with the physical move worked very hard and provided solutions when issues came up. The single recommendation I could provide to anyone is be 100% sure everything you want to move is on the digital inventory at least 5 days before moving day. The day of the move, I found things were missing on the digital inventory even though we talked about it."

"I’ve moved around quite a bit in the Bay Area and I can say that by far Alexander Moving is the best moving company and team that I’ve hired. They’re punctual, professional, and very communicative. Another reason they’re a great moving company is they’re great at wrapping fragile items, as well as TVs and furniture. I highly recommend Alexander Moving."

Moving questions, answered by experts

In Oakland, moving work often uncovers hidden costs like required parking permits for moving trucks, especially in busy neighborhoods. Navigating narrow streets or steep hills may lead to extra charges for moving equipment. Rainy weather can cause delays, while older buildings might require elevator reservations or long carry fees. Don’t overlook utility connection fees or the cost of disposing of used packing materials according to city rules.

Helpful?

Completing moving work in Oakland enhances safety by addressing earthquake and wildfire risks unique to the area. It also improves comfort by ensuring your home is organized and ready for the city’s shifting climate. Thoughtful moving projects help you settle in faster, reduce stress, and adapt to Oakland’s diverse neighborhoods, while efficient utility setups and proper storage of moving supplies boost year-round convenience.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Oakland should focus on moving work essentials like updating locks, especially in older neighborhoods, and checking for secure window latches. Prioritize earthquake safety by anchoring heavy furniture and securing water heaters. If you’re near the Oakland hills, clear brush for wildfire defense. Learn local moving supply disposal rules and connect with neighborhood groups to streamline your transition and avoid common moving challenges.

Helpful?

To maintain moving work readiness in Oakland, inspect moving supplies each spring for mold from winter rains, and update your earthquake kit. In summer, schedule moving services early to avoid peak demand. Fall is ideal for checking outdoor storage and preparing for rainy weather. During winter, inspect stored moving equipment for water damage and plan ahead for spring moves, ensuring your packing materials stay in good condition.

Helpful?

In Oakland, everyday habits like storing moving supplies in damp basements or leaving boxes on porches can lead to moisture damage from the city’s frequent fog. Using packing materials that aren’t rated for Oakland’s temperature swings can cause adhesive failure. Ignoring street parking rules or blocking driveways during moving work can result in rushed loading, increasing the risk of damaged moving equipment and belongings.
