DM Movers sent 4 guys for our move from one apartment to another, just a few miles apart. The distance wasn't bad, but both buildings had those ridiculously long hallways that make moving way harder than it should be. The pickup in Mountain View was a hike—parking lot to elevator was a solid walk, then another long hallway to the unit. The guys didn't complain. They loaded up all our furniture and boxes, wrapped everything carefully, and made trip after trip down that hallway without slowing down. The couch was the trickiest. Bulky, heavy, and squeezing it through the hallway was tight. But they angled it perfectly and got it on the truck without any wall damage. Santa Clara was the same story—long walk from the truck to the elevator, then down another hallway. They unloaded everything, set it all up where we wanted, and finished faster than I expected.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Gururaj! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed review. It means a lot to hear that everything arrived safely and was set up just the way you wanted. We’re grateful you chose Dependable Movers and hope to help you again in the future! 🙌 - Dependable Movers

I would like to express my gratitude to the moving company for their excellent services during my local move in San Jose. I moved from a one-bedroom house to an apartment. The move started on time and with proper planning; the crew was careful and attentive to my stuff. They even placed floor coverings to keep it clean and safe during the move. The hardest part was when the crew reached the new apartment and had to carry my things up four flights of stairs. It was really difficult work, but they did a tremendous job. Nothing was damaged; all my stuff reached the new home in proper condition. The team was great: the leaders were qualified and helpful. The rates were very good, and they provided all the information in advance.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lola! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We’re glad we could make your move a little easier, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew. Thank you again for choosing Dependable Movers!😊

15 DM Movers sent five of their experts through our move from San Jose to Fremont. We had only so much heavy stuff to move; three big cabinets and a fridge to move. The fridge was the thing I was most worried about. It is one of those big metal fridges that are difficult to carry, and it would be very bad if it was scratched during moving. But these guys knew how to do it perfectly—strapped the fridge, wrapped it well, and rolled it out without any scratch. The cabinets were heavy too. We needed two guys to move each of them through stairs. But they wrapped them up and moved them carefully and packed them into the truck. The unloading in Fremont was smooth. They placed everything where we planned ahead, set up the fridge, and made sure everything was in the right position.

I used this moving company to clear out our storage unit and honestly it went way better than I expected. We had a ton of stuff crammed in there, so I was a bit nervous about how it would all get handled. But the team showed up and got straight to work, and I could tell right away they knew what they were doing. They packed everything carefully nothing felt rushed or thrown together, even the fragile stuff got wrapped up properly. What I really appreciated was how easy they were to communicate with the whole time, so I never felt out of the loop. Loading it all up and getting it over to the warehouse was smooth, no issues at all. And when everything got unloaded at the warehouse, it was just as organized as when they packed it up. Literally nothing broke or went missing, which honestly says a lot about how careful this crew was. Beyond just doing good work, they were genuinely a solid group of guys to have around on moving day. If you need help with storage or a warehouse move, I’d 100% recommend these guys.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dudy! We’re glad to hear everything went smoothly and that our team took great care of your belongings, especially the fragile items. We really appreciate your kind words about the crew and communication. Thank you for trusting Dependable Movers and for recommending us! - Dependable Movers

Used Dependable Movers for a move from Sunnyvale to Watsonville and honestly, really glad I went with them. That’s not a short drive, so I was a little nervous about how everything would hold up, but the guys handled it no problem. We had two really heavy pieces that I was stressing about beforehand, and they just knew what they were doing. Wrapped everything properly, moved them without banging up our walls or doorframes, no drama at all. They showed up when they said they would and just got to work, no wasted time but also didn’t feel like they were rushing and being careless with our stuff. They kept me in the loop about timing too, which I appreciated since it was such a long haul. Genuinely nice guys to deal with, made the whole thing way less stressful than I expected. Price matched what they quoted me, no random fees tacked on at the end. Everything showed up in the same shape it left in, which honestly surprised me a bit given how heavy some of it was. If you’ve got heavy stuff or a long-distance move, I’d 100% recommend these guys.

My heartfelt thanks to Dependable Movers for facilitating a smooth local move for me in Daly City. I had very little furniture and boxes to move and the movers came in right on time. They were very quick with how they handled everything and stayed safe while loading. They managed to move without being desperate. I must say everything was done faster than expected. There was nothing damaged or scratched during the entire process. I rushed things for the safety of everything. Communication has been simple and clear during the whole procedure. The prices were fair without any surprises. All the individuals were very polite and professional in their work.

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
