Trusted Local Moving Services in California

This was my first time using movers. I moved many times before, always with friends. So I don't have a reference point. I guess these guys weren't too bad, but it surely was a stressful day - more than my other moves. 10 times more costly too. And I measured 25,000 steps that day, chasing these movers around 🙂 On the other hand, this move was somewhat faster, and I got the beds reassembled, nothing lost, and not many things broken. So I rate this at 3 stars.

The main lesson here is - don't rely on what the sales guy tells you - get the contract in advance. We were moving from a 2/2 apartment and full garage into a much bigger house, some 10-12 miles away. We had some plants too. The sales guy said there will be 4 people with 2 trucks. Also, a big selling point was that they cover any damage up to $5000 or so, as opposed to some measly insurance amounts others told me. Well, these weren't quite true.

- The guys showed up 20 minutes early, so my breakfast didn't happen.
- They came with 1 truck! As a result, some stuff didn't fit. We ended up doing several trips next two days, about 5 SUVs worth of things, total.
- They came with a 2-page contract of a low contrast tiny text. It was hard to read and understand quickly, while 4 people were just standing there. The maximum amount was higher than I was told by email, and the packing services didn't quite match, so there was some back and forth, calls to the office, etc. It took too much time, so I didn't question other things in the paper. Just signing the contract cost me about $150 - the 40 minutes at $220/hr.
- They were fast and efficient. Too fast sometimes - I had to rescue my day bag from the truck.
- One thing that was a surprise - they charge double for driving time. Maybe that was in contract that I didn't get a chance to read.
- At the destination, it turned out they don't have enough of the promised floor covering, so I had to improvise from my supplies (see the picture). Eventually, they got extra covering from somewhere.
- When assembling furniture, there was no way that they would stay on the covered part (we have new carpets). So I gave them a plenty of boot covers. But they kept ignoring that and walked on carpet. I had to tell them 2 or 3 times and watch them closely. They also ignored Do Not Stack labels a couple of times. No damage, though.
- When it turned out they broke a piece of furniture, they said I can get some 50 cents for it (it was very light). Turns out they don't really have a $5K coverage included. Awesomely, one guy just paid a fair value to me directly, out of his pocket! Just beware - coverage is NOT included.
- Completed the move in about 9 hours, and the guys skipped lunch, apparently (and so did I).
- The video walk-through in advance was a great idea. Although still things didn't fit.

Overall, nothing was terribly bad, and maybe that's good enough when it comes to moving :). I am not sure if I will use movers again, though. If I do, I will try someone else, for comparison.

Loved moving with quantum moving. These are some of the most professional movers I've had to this date. They kept me informed, they wrapped everything perfectly, organized everything perfectly. The customer service was phenomenal!
I couldn't recommend this company enough!

Best movers I've ever used. This review is long overdue. They helped me move out of a 3 story condo which was a challenge in itself, but the stairs up and down are not very wide. With that being said, they were gentle with all of my things, they protected everything that needed to be protected from damage, and they were able to move everything seamlessly without any scruffs on walls and nothing, absolutely nothing was damaged in the move! I would use them over and over again, these movers are fantastic. They're high quality, kind, and efficient!! I've used so many movers and this team by far hits it out the park. Thanks for making moving easier

This was not an easy move but the team from Quantum Moving did an excellent job. They packed all the furniture was amazing care and placed every item in my new home as I requested. I highly recommend them.

We had a great experience with our move, it was fast, efficient and cost effective. We did have something that broke accidentally and as promised was replaced.

The whole process was smooth and dependable end to end, with Dan and Stephen at first doing a video walkthrough and advising us on crew size / time / cost tradeoffs, and later with their Operations team.

The moving crew showed up early, before we were ready, and were totally fine waiting a few minutes while we got ready. They were among the absolute best crews we've experienced. The were so easy to work with and were careful and respectful of our belongings, houses and needs, and worked very hard and non-stop and had our packing and move done in less time than we'd imagined.

Packing was thoughtful yet super fast. Moving too. Zero nicks, rough handling or anything like that. They were happy to work with our labelling system, and placed literally every box and item exactly where we wanted them, which massively minimized our post-move unpacking work.

Definitely among the easiest and most stress free moves for us. Putting "stress free" and "move" in the same sentence is saying a lot! Big thank you to the entire team!

They were friendly, efficient and strong great communicators and organized. I would use them again

I just experienced another excellent move w/Quantum. I've used them three times and won't hesitate to do so again. The movers are professional, courteous and timely. Gone are the days of asking friends w/trucks on a weekend to assist your move while worrying nothing will be damaged. Hire the professionals, you won't regret it.

Excellent company to work with! Dan was responsive and answered all of my questions clearly, they confirmed the move when they said they would, and the movers were on time and efficient. The movers did a great job wrapping everything and loading and unloading carefully and quickly. My move took less than 4 hours because of their efficiency and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend and would def hire them again.

Just completed a 2BR2BA move from OC to the Bay with Quantum, and I highly, highly recommend them!

P.S. I get nothing for this review. I say this bc I'm always suspicious of companies that only have 5 star reviews, like maybe the reviewers are just trying to get some deal in exchange for a 5 star review, but there is no deal of that sort, and this company really does deserve the 5 stars.

OC team: Don & Alex
Bay team: Don, Ivan, & Jonathan

Don met me in the OC at 7am (an hour earlier than originally planned, which was great bc the earlier the better!). Alex joined him and the 2 of them loaded everything onto a truck, where only my items were stored (i.e. they didn't combine my stuff with other peoples') and stayed (i.e. my items stayed in the truck overnight in Concord before Don drove it to my new home the following morning--they did not move it to a new truck or unload anywhere). In the Bay, Don met me at 9:30am with Ivan & Jonathan. Everyone was so professional and kind.

I chose Quantum after an extensive look into reviews on Yelp and Reddit. I'm in the midst of a hectic life transition that this move happened to intersect with, but the team made it so much less stressful!! I had an initial call with Stephen on FaceTime where he took inventory of my things and gave me a not-to-exceed price. I got quotes from 5 other companies: Quantum wasn't the lowest, but I'm willing to pay a little extra for a job done right.

Everyone was very careful with our belongings. I've now opened all our boxes, can confirm nothing is broken, and they were great about communicating with me during moving day to make sure my boxes and furniture got to the right rooms (I was expecting them to just pile everything in the main room, and I'd just deal with it later, but I really appreciated that they through the trouble of making less work for me).

I used a different moving company in 2021 when I moved from the Bay to OC (my 1st time ever using movers), and 2 boxes of dishes were *completely* broken and most of our furniture had dings. I packed my own belongings both times, and I used both bubble wrap AND foam--that other company must've drop-kicked my stuff...and then never answered when I tried to tell them about it (I wasn't even trying to look for compensation--just wanted to give them feedback so it didn't happen to others). I've nothing to complain about with Quantum, so I haven't had to contact them post-move, but this company seems to have integrity and will take care of you if there are problems that arise.

Will definitely be reaching back out when I have to move again.

I literally can't say enough about these guys! For me, moving is the worst activity on earth! These guys actually made it completely PAINLESS, and almost FUN!! They are so quick and yet so careful, and absolutely respectful of your belongings and your home. Everything wrapped. Not one scratch. Absolute perfection. Alby is an awesome human, skilled at his craft and great sense of humor. Ivan and Jonathan were so kind and hard working! Just lovely guys. Competitively priced.
Five stars is not enough. The guys, and Quantum Moving, deserve 100 stars!!!

Moving is a crazy and stressful event, but I can tell you after hiring these guys, that you don't need to stress about what you hired them to do. We moved 400 miles and exactly one thing (that was already cracked) broke. 3 bedrooms worth of stuff. One (already) broken item. That's a win.
We packed everything and they executed the heavy lifting, driving, and personnel. They told us a price and a maximum ceiling and they not only stuck to it, but came in well under the cieling after we needed a couple of last-minute services (like boxing up big plants and what not).
I've heard horror stories of other people's moves with different companies: Missing bits, broken valuables, movers that double the quote and won't leave til they're paid. NONE OF THAT with Quantum.
They're honest, thorough, helpful, very nice, fast, reliable, and careful. They weren't eaxctly the cheapest option, they weren't close to the most expensive either, but they 100% live up to the great reviews. They're worth it. They got the personnel. Go Quantum. You won't be sorry.

I hired Quantum Moving company on February 12, 2024, to move my stuff from a storage unit in Concord to my new house in Fairfield, CA. The 3 employees were there 10 minutes before the scheduled time of 8 am and got right to work. They had my stuff unloaded at my house by 11:30. They were accommodating with moving the heavy furniture into the house and putting it where I wanted it to go. All 3 employees were very efficient and professional. When I got the bill for my move, it was well below the estimated quote given to me over the phone. I will HIGHLY recommend Quantum Moving company.

They won't give me a quote and told me they're not interested in working with me because I mentioned that the house had mold remediation. They came highly recommended, but this is just very unprofessional. I do not recommend this company.

We hired Quantum to move our 1-bedroom apartment this month and they did a fantastic job! Humberto, Jonathan, Carlos and Ivan were fast, efficient, easy to communicate, and took great care of our belongings. They went above and beyond to protect some delicate pieces we had, which we really appreciated. We had a great experience! Would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them for anyone moving in the Bay Area.

Top notch moving company, my wife and I used them for the second time in 3 years recently. We used them for a local move, and had Quantum pack our boxes. Were reliable and on-time with the in-person quote, efficient with the packing and moving day, and easy to work with. We realized that our bed was put back together wrong, and called Quantum around 6 pm - they promptly sent someone out to come and fix it the same night so that we were all set. Pricing was much more reasonable, when compared with the other highly rated movers that served our area. Couldn't recommend enough, Dan takes a lot of pride in what he does, which definitely filters through into company culture. Thanks guys!

The crew members were on time. They did great job moving our furnitures. They were strong and gentle. Thank you!!

Quantum Moving did a fantastic job of packing and moving us. The guys were incredibly professional and helpful, and they honored the quote they gave us despite it being maybe a bigger job than they expected. Absolute professionals - would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim, Johnathan and Ivan. Three extremely professional and knowledgeable movers. I had to move from a 3 bedroom home into an apartment. These guys were so careful and caring with my furniture and boxes. I felt like they were moving their own items and made sure to ask questions every step of the way. Excellent work! I highly recommend them!! I was pleased with the price as well! Done within 5 hours!

I had a wonderful service from Quantum today for my inter-city movement within California state. Their staff Edwin and Alberto were very professional, skilled, service oriented and much helpful/supportive. I got them connected through a referral and happy with the choice and service, end-to-end.
Good value for money with quick, efficient, safe overall service.
Thank you very much Dan Polikoff (CeO) and Stephen (Sales Manager).
God bless.
