DM Movers sent five men for our relocation from a high-rise SF apartment on the 20th floor to a single-story home in San Rafael. I was worried about this move because moving from high floors is always complicated because of elevators and loading areas, plus we had enormous pieces. The marble table upset me the most. It is gorgeous but incredibly heavy, and one small mistake might ruin it. These guys had wrapped it with layers of soft material, delivered it to the lift carefully and secured it in the truck as if it was glass! The couch was difficult as well. It is bulky and hard to carry and maneuver through SF corridors. However, these guys carefully placed it in the right position, squeezed it through the hallway and loaded correctly without hitting anything.
Response from the owner:Nacim, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad our team handled the challenging items with the care they deserved. We truly appreciate your trust and kind words! - Dependable Movers Team

Huge thanks to the movers for making this move such a breeze. I had to move all my belongings from one place to another and surely the job went a lot easier than anticipated. Movers were on time and kicked off the operation immediately. The fastest part of the move was shocking anyone. Everything went way quicker than initially expected, yet still no compromise on safety and quality. Movers were super attentive to my furniture and boxes throughout the entire process. Everything was in place, and nothing was lost, damaged, or scratched. Communication was clear and informative. They were organized and worked productively from the very first moment till the end of the process. The price of the move was crystal clear, and there were no surprises in the end. Thank you for such a smooth and pain-free experience.
Response from the owner:Payvand, Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We’re so glad everything went smoothly and that our team provided a safe, efficient, and stress-free move. We truly appreciate your recommendation! - Dependable Movers Team

DM Movers provided four movers for our relocation from Palo Alto to Redwood City, and they definitely deserved that gratuity. We had three heavy dressers filled with clothes, plus a huge bed that had an enormous mattress, not to mention the dining room furniture that weighed a ton. I was worried about the dressers—they're made of solid wood and are not easy to carry. Yet, the crew wrapped each of them and took down the stairs without damaging anything in the process, after which they loaded them in the moving truck smoothly. The bed was a different story. The crew disassembled it quickly and brought the mattress down. They reassembled it at the new place in no time. The dining room furniture was quite heavy as well—there was a table, chairs, and a hutch. They treated all the items carefully, ensuring everything was well protected and placed just where we needed them to be.
Response from the owner:Hi Ken, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience. It means a lot to hear that our crew handled and made your move a smooth one. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the team, they'll really appreciate it. Thank you again for trusting Dependable Movers, and we wish you all the best in your new home! - Dependable Movers

We used Dependable Movers to move from a storage unit in Oakland to a 2br apartment in Albany. I was so impressed with the team. They were extremely professional, communicative, and careful with our belongings. They took less time than expected and we ended up paying less than what was quoted. We will definitely be using them for future moves. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Caroline! It was a pleasure helping with your move. We're happy everything came together smoothly and that our team made the experience an easy one. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we'd be honored to help you again whenever you need movers. Wishing you all the best in your new home! - Dependable Movers

Amazing movers. They are honest with their quotes based on how long they think the move will take. The movers are also incredibly careful with furniture and with the home. They were also flexible and willing to work with us as we changed our minds on a couple things. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

The moving crew did a great job overall and worked incredibly hard throughout the move. They were professional, courteous, and handled our belongings with care. They were punctual on time. The team stayed organized and communicated well whenever questions came up. I especially appreciated how respectful they were of both our home and our family during what can be a stressful process. They packed everything efficiently and were willing to go the extra mile when needed. The crew maintained a positive attitude despite the long hours and demanding work. They also kept the job moving at a steady pace without feeling rushed or careless. I was impressed by how well they worked together as a team. There were a few small things that could have gone a bit more smoothly, but nothing that overshadowed the overall experience. Moving is never easy, and they helped make a very challenging transition much more manageable. I would gladly recommend them to others looking for reliable movers.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Natanya, for your thoughtful review and recommendation. We know moving can be a demanding experience, and we're grateful you trusted our team to help you through it. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the crew. We wish you and your family all the best in your new home! - Dependable Movers

I would like to express my gratitude to the movers for making my moving experience so much easier than I expected. I only hired two movers for my local moving job in Campbell, and they did a great job taking care of everything. There were many difficult staircases to maneuver, and one very big, heavy sofa that seemed impossible to move. They were careful, took their time, and planned everything properly so that they could move everything out of one place into another without damaging anything. The movers impressed me with their professionalism and calmness at all times. They communicated well with me throughout the process, so I knew what happened at every stage. They charged reasonable rates without hidden fees. So, despite the fact that it was a difficult move to perform, the job was accomplished on time.Thank you for all of your hard work and professionalism!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Sean, for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It means a lot to know our team was able to make your move a positive experience. We'll gladly pass along your appreciation to the movers. Thank you for choosing Dependable Movers, and we wish you all the best in your new place!

Jul 2026 3rd time engaging their service for our move! They are our go-to moving company, didn’t bother researching for others. Our experience with them is still superb! Super highly recommended! 💪🏻 ====== Aug 2024 This is our 2nd time using their service! It was no-brainer for us as we had such a great experience with them for our 1st move. This time, we had Alex and William assigned to us. Once again, we have nothing but great things to say about their service - friendly, fast, efficient, effective and reliable! Thanks guys! Super recommended! 😀 ===== Max and Tony helped us with our move. They informed us 40mins ahead of time before they came so that we know exactly when we can expect them to arrive. They are very friendly and efficient! They were fast and moved swiftly. We are very please with their service and are lucky to have them help us with this move! Highly recommended! 😍
Response from the owner:Lilian, We are grateful for this thoughtful review! Max and Tony are really awesome assets of the company! We are so happy to hear that the move went well.

Sergey and Sergey are to thank for making this move easy. Carlos also was incredibly reassuring over the phone, helping select the right package and inventory for our move. Pricing was also very transparent at each step, no surprises. We moved our belongings from PODS, and 2x Sergey easily packed our belongings into the truck and unloaded into our new apartment about an hour faster than estimated. They took care with the items but still moved things efficiently and quickly. I will absolutely book this company again for any future moves as I had a great experience. Communication was always great with both correspondence from the office and with Sergey, and everything was on time. Would recommend highly!! 2026 Update - Vova and the team moved us to a new location with speed and care. They were enjoyable to have around and did a fantastic job protecting and moving our items. This is the third time using Dependable Movers and while I hope to not have to move anytime soon, I would call them again.

I helped my neighbor's sister with her move this week and we worked with Dependable Movers (Dennis and Alex!) and it was such an excellent experience! Dependable Movers were super responsive as we were doing our research on movers in the area, and the numerous positive reviews gave us high confidence we were in good hands. Dependable Movers had competitive prices for the size of our move, and were in touch with us leading up to the move date with gentle reminders and clear expectations. They were so efficient but careful with our things, and I was really grateful for their attentiveness. Thank you so much!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Evelyn! It means a lot that you trusted us to help with your neighbor's sister's move. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Dennis and Alex, they'll be happy to hear them.

Dependable Movers provided great service for my moving experience from start to finish. They arrived at the right time, explained the details clearly and started working immediately. Their use of floor and wall protection was great as they stayed careful while transporting big pieces of furniture in and out of my house. Their attention to detail was clear. The only challenge was moving a very big couch out of my old house and into my new one. It was a tough challenge, but the team managed to work together patiently in order to complete the task without damage to the furniture or the homes. Their experience and ability to work together easily showed. Everything else was moved without any problems and put exactly in their place. The rates were fair with no extra costs. Thank you a lot!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Joy! We appreciate you recognizing the care and effort our team puts into every move. Challenging pieces can sometimes require a little extra patience, and we're glad everything arrived safely in the end. Thank you for trusting us with your move, and we wish you many happy memories in your new home! - Dependable Movers
Dependable Movers did an excellent job of handling all the work related to the moving process. When Day One started, the employees stacked all my things in the right manner so I could feel it would be completely safe. They were also effective so I did not have to rush in any way while packing up my belongings. On the second day of services, the movers arrived on time and did the work efficiently. They protected floors throughout the process and ensured that nothing was scratched during furniture transfer. All my things were delivered successfully to my new home without any problems. The crew leader kept everything under control throughout the moving process and communicated properly with me all the time. The price was clear and fair, without any unexpected costs, so I am completely satisfied and strongly recommend Dependable Movers.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Monica! It was our pleasure to help with your move. We're glad everything came together smoothly over both days. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we hope you're settling into your new home comfortably. Thank you for choosing Dependable Movers! - Dependable Movers

Four movers were dispatched by DM Movers to assist us with our relocating from a one -story building to a one-story building garage and were able to arrive on time and begin working right away. It was a very large shelf that worried me about moving. The couch was big and heavy, and it was in a ceramic pot. A single wrong move could destroy both the pot and the plant. The movers managed to wrap it, carry it, lower it, and place it in the truck. The rest of the relocating was smooth – all my furniture and boxes have been transported in a short time. Everything was disassembled and taken out in a short time as well. It took less time than I expected it to. If you need a company to perform your local relocation quickly without breaking your belongings, you should choose DM Movers!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, Lawrence. It means a great deal to know you trusted us with your move. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the crew, they'll truly appreciate the recognition. Thank you for choosing Dependable Movers, and we wish you all the best in your new home! - Dependable Movers

Local Moving FAQs

How far in advance should I book local movers in San Francisco?

Yes, we offer full-service packing and unpacking for local moves in San Francisco. We can pack your entire home or just specific items like fragile items, using the right boxes and moving boxes, and self-packing typically limits movers’ liability if those items break.

No. Our pricing is always transparent. We recommend comparing 2 or 3 detailed quotes to better understand movers cost. We provide upfront estimates that include labor, travel time, and any agreed-upon services. Local moving cost in San Francisco often ranges from $80 to $140 per hour. Contact us for free estimates, and request in-home or virtual estimates while confirming whether any flat-rate quote is all-inclusive before agreeing.
