I couldn’t be more satisfied with my one-bedroom apartment relocation experience. Everything was done in a streamlined manner, and the movers got right to work as soon as they got there. They were mindful of all my furniture, cartons, and of course, the delicate items too. The bigger items were packed properly before leaving the apartment. All the items were properly unloaded in the new apartment. Nothing was damaged, broken, or lost. Communicating was a straightforward affair during the entire process. The final bill was a reasonable one with no hidden charges. All in all, while I thought that moving day would be a lot more difficult, it turned out to be the complete opposite!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Marc, for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear your move went smoothly and that the team took good care of your furniture and delicate items from start to finish. 😊 It means a lot to know that moving day turned out to be easier than expected, and we truly appreciate you trusting Dependable Movers with your move! - Dependable Movers

The guys were easy to communicate with and made the whole move way less stressful than I expected. Everything arrived safely and the whole process went smoothly. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers. Thank you guys for the hard work!

A.J. and his crew were super fast and moved me into my one bedroom apartment in under the 3 hour minimum! They worked super hard in the heat. 95*. Going up to the 3rd story. I wished I had cold waters for them. Would highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Brandon! We really appreciate the kind words and recommendation. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with the crew, they’ll be glad to know their hard work, especially in that heat and up those stairs, was appreciated.

Our Dependable Movers team was terrific! It was a logistically challenging move: unload the contents of an apartment stored in a Pod at a Pods facility in one city, pack it all into the Dependable Movers’ truck, drive across two bridges to another city 35 minutes away, and move all the contents into a new apartment that was at the end of a long, narrow alleyway with difficult turns. Our Dependable Movers team did it all with professionalism, efficiency, care, patience, and a smile. Thank you, Dependable Movers, for a great moving experience. We’ll definitely use Dependable Movers again for a future move.

DM Movers sent 2 guys for our move from San Pablo to Walnut Creek. Not a long drive, but we had a lot of stuff to haul, including some heavy furniture I wasn't looking forward to moving. They showed up on time and got to work right away. Wrapped everything up—couches, dressers, tables—and had the truck loaded faster than I expected. The crew was organized, knew what they were doing, and didn't waste any time. The heavy pieces were no problem for them. Our big dresser and sectional couch got maneuvered out of the house and into the truck without a single scratch on the walls or floors. At the new place in Walnut Creek, they unloaded just as quickly and placed everything where we wanted.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Nasr! We really appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear the crew kept everything organized, handled the heavier pieces with care, and made the move from San Pablo to Walnut Creek go smoothly. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Thank you again for choosing Dependable Movers! 😊

Ok so this move was rough stairs at the old place, stairs at the new place, and like a hundred boxes of books. I honestly felt bad for the movers just looking at the pile. But they didn't even flinch, just got to work and kept going up and down those stairs for hours without complaining once. Books are heavy. Like, really heavy. And they still managed to keep everything organized and careful the whole time nothing broken, nothing scratched, not even a scuffed wall going around those tight stairwell corners. By the end they were obviously exhausted but still stayed friendly and made sure everything was set up right before they left. I don't know how they do this job every day honestly. Huge respect. If you've got a hard move with stairs, these are the guys you want.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Ben! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. We know stairs and a house full of books can make for a challenging move, so it means a lot to hear that our team handled everything with care and a positive attitude. We’ll definitely pass your kind words along to the crew. Thank you again for choosing Dependable Movers! - Dependable Movers

I recently used Dependable Movers for a small mini move and honestly had a really good experience with them. I didn’t have a huge amount of stuff, just a few pieces of furniture, boxes and some personal things, but they still treated everything carefully. The guys arrived on time and were really nice and easy to communicate with. They got to work right away and didn’t waste any time. I also liked that they were careful with my furniture and made sure everything was protected before moving it. The whole process was pretty quick and stress free. Everything arrived safely, nothing was damaged or missing. I was expecting even a small move to be a headache, but it actually went very smooth. The price was fair too and there were no problems at the end. Overall I’m really happy with my experience with Dependable Movers. Good guys, good service and everything was simple from beginning to end. I would definitely call them again for my next move and recommend them to anyone who needs help moving.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Gilberto! We’re glad we could make your mini move simple and stress-free. It means a lot to hear that the crew took good care of your things and made the process easy from start to finish. We’d be happy to help again anytime! - Dependable Movers

DM Movers sent 4 guys for our move within Mountain View. Just a few miles apart, but we still had a full apartment to pack up and haul over. They showed up on time and got straight to work. Wrapped all the furniture, taped up the boxes, took apart the bed frame. Everything was organized and efficient. No standing around, no wasted trips. The heavy stuff was handled without any drama. Our couch is a beast and barely fits through doorways, but they angled it out and into the truck without a scratch. The dresser and bookcases got the same careful treatment. At the new place, unloading was just as quick. They put everything where we wanted, reassembled the bed, and even helped us move a few things around after we changed our minds.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dan! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear the crew kept everything organized, handled the heavy furniture with care, and made the move as smooth as possible from start to finish. It was a pleasure helping with your move, and we’re so grateful for your trust in Dependable Movers. Wishing you all the best in your new home! 😊 - Dependable Movers
