"This was my second time hiring the crew within a 3 year period. They have gotten pricier over time but still economical compared to the other outrageously priced companies. Sean and crew showed up promptly. My move took 7 hours and 2 trips instead of the anticipated one trip 4 hours. They completed the job without any complaints and a skip in their steps. However if you need to move regular furniture within the city they will do an amazing job. I highly recommend."
This is our home ground. Our Oakland moving company runs four trucks out of San Leandro, and most Oakland jobs are on the truck within the first hour of the day. Flat written bands, our own payroll crew, and 2,600+ East Bay moves since 2015.
What Makes an Oakland Move Tricky
- Hills homes off Skyline and Park mean switchback stairs and long carries, quoted in advance.
- Dense streets in Temescal and Downtown need curb space reserved the night before.
- Older walk-ups near Lake Merritt have no elevator, so stair count shapes the crew size.

Three Things That Speed Up Move Day
- Text us the stair count and a photo of the trickiest turn.
- Reserve curb space with bins or a car the night before.
- Stage boxes near the door; we load big-to-small from there.
