"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."

"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"

"My son used Hauling Moses previously. I reserved a moving trailer for an out-of-state move. Hauling Moses was awesome! They packed and loaded my trailer with expertise. On time, efficient and careful. Their professional, generous and friendly energy made moving a grounded experience."

"I promised Erica to give her a great review, because she gave me good service and she has great listening skills. Looking back at the movers in hindsight, they were 1.5 hours late, they encouraged me to relax, take care of my back, don’t tire myself and let them do the work. If I’d done that I would have been way longer than the 3.5 hours it took to get everything done. I worked just as hard as them and they turned their noses up at the tip I gave them. One reason why I started doing other things and taking stuff to the truck is because I realized they were going too slow for the 2 hours we were supposed to be working under. I ended up paying way more than the estimate when they were way past the 2pm start time, was that a hustle? Plus by the time we got to my complex, the area to unload was closed and we had to unload a more difficult way. The tip, while highly and over emphasized, is a SUGGESTED tip. Stretching out the moving time is a bad strategy for big tips, being 1.5 hours late doesn’t help either. One of the drivers’ names was Ishmael, he bitched the loudest and I talked to him the most during the move. Shop around guys and don’t get sucked in by a good deal that may be too good to be true. The crazy part is, if I had paid the price they (movers) wanted, they wouldn’t have gotten a tip, period. I hate ungrateful people, especially when we were laughing and talking all day until I gave them the tip, now I wish I had just kept my $40."

Moving questions, answered by experts

San Mateo offers a range of moving services, including local movers for residential homes, apartment and condo specialists, and commercial moving contractors. Specialty movers handle items like antiques or large electronics, while eco-friendly moving companies provide sustainable packing options. Senior relocation experts and providers offering short-term storage or packing services are also common, reflecting the city’s diverse housing and business needs.

Helpful?

In San Mateo, sticking doors or windows after a move may indicate shifting in hillside foundations, which are common locally. Scratches on floors or chipped tiles can reveal underlying moisture or subfloor issues, especially in older homes. If you notice water stains, musty odors, or flickering lights after moving heavy furniture, address these promptly to prevent more extensive repairs related to hidden damage.

Helpful?

In San Mateo, local movers pay special attention to narrow staircases, split-level entries, and compact driveways common in hillside neighborhoods. Protecting hardwood and tile floors is crucial due to the area’s frequent fog and moisture. Movers also check for tight corners and low ceilings in older homes, and ensure smooth appliance disconnects, especially in homes with unique layouts or limited street parking.

Helpful?

In San Mateo, moving projects often require careful planning to fit furniture through narrow hallways or multi-level homes typical of the area. Movers take extra care to preserve original woodwork and landscaping, especially in historic neighborhoods. Coordinating with HOA guidelines and planning for home office setups are also important, ensuring both functionality and visual appeal in homes designed for modern, remote work lifestyles.

Helpful?

Homeowners in San Mateo often choose between hiring local movers for convenience or managing the move themselves to maintain control. Scheduling can be tricky due to the city’s busy traffic patterns and limited parking, especially in downtown areas. Deciding on professional packing, temporary storage, or insurance coverage involves weighing peace of mind against the effort required, particularly in San Mateo’s fast-paced, tech-driven environment.
