Andy and Wick were a pleasure to work with on our move from the SF Bay Area to Santa Barbara. Andy came by the house several weeks before our move. He asked a number of good questions and then offered my family and I a very fair and honest service taking the stress out of a big interstate move. Highly recommend their services.

James showed up on time. He was very about business. He’s very normal which is rare in the moving business. I have moved 5 times in my adult life and James was the best of anyone I have hired. He wore a mask. He used alcohol wipes on everything he touched. I will keep his number and recommend him to anyone I know…

Budget Movers moved my mom and I a few months back and it was so easy working with James. I called James and he came to give me a estimate on my move and told us what we need to do to save a bit of money in the process. James, Wick, Andy and Toro are the guys to call for any of your moving needs. Thank you Budget Movers for all your help
