We worked with Budget Movers twice this year and cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They went above and beyond to accommodate our tight schedule and made the entire process as seamless as possible. James was fantastic to work with—super communicative, organized, and immensely helpful as we prepped for…
We used Budget Movers for a complicated move that also required storage. Andy and James were great. Good communication, good service. Recently a neighbor was terribly taken advantage of by her movers and I wish she had asked me for a recommendation first! They are reputable and solid.
Wick and James were incredibly helpful and accommodating with our move that had a last minute change. We had to store half of our belongings and take the rest. We sorted as they packed and they were very patient with us!! What I really liked about Budget was that actual movers do the quoting, so they were more…
James, Wick, and George are amazing! They went above and beyond our expectations. Moving can be so stressful but not with them! They came in on time and provided A-Class service. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs to move.
Very professional, items well packaged and secure, came prepared large boxes and tools, great communication throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend to anyone moving. Screaming a special “Thank You.”
I highly recommend this budget friendly company. Andy and Toro were on time, very efficient, helpful and fast. They are awesome and they are priced just right. They definitely made my move a very pleasant experience. Good luck! I hope you consider supporting this business.
These guys are the best! Made my move stress-free and couldn’t ask for better service during the whole thing. Highly recommended!
If I could give this mover 10 stars I would. Wick and his crew did an absolutely superb job in safely moving the contents of our 4 bedroom house in northern California to southern California. I just finished unpacking 4 dish packs of my fine china and crystal (there was a LOT), and was amazed at how carefully it had…
Really nice and a very professional crew
Andy, Toro, and Chilly were all super nice and extremely good at their jobs. I've never seen a truck packed so efficiently. We really should have rented a bigger truck (we went with our own U-Haul), but they somehow fit all of our stuff into the one we got anyway. Highly recommend!!
Great movers, they were super responsive on time and a great value. They were also gentle with the furniture and the floors. Would highly recommend for your next move!
The crew of folks here are super professional and punctual. We had Andy, James, Wick, Toro and Jorge help us move out of a 4B house to a 3B and they went above and beyond to ensure our items we well packed and taken care for the long trip. Excellent communication from start to finish with friendly and warm attitude…
We appreciated the detailed instructions ahead of time to maximize the amount that we could load in the pod. The crew arrived on time and worked with incredible efficiency checking with us as the job progressed to make sure that all the essentials were packed. They were very courteous and helpful. So glad that they were available when we needed them.
We had a great experience using the Budget Movers to move from our old apartment building into our new home. They were very helpful and responsive in the time leading up to moving day, and were incredibly organized, efficient and careful during the move. They had everything at our old spot packed up and then…
Wick and his team are professional, communicative, and truly pleasant to work with. I highly recommend their services.
Wick and his team professionally packed our furniture and treasures in record time! They were courteous and friendly. I highly recommend Budget Movers of San Carlos.
This is the BEST moving experience we’ve ever had! The crew was exceptional, quick, clean, we couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank God we found these guys we are for sure using them every time we move! Thank you Wick & crew!!!
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
James, Wick, Toro and Andy moves my 2 bedroom apartment from San Francisco to San Bruno Shelter Creek condominiums where it isn’t easy to move people in to. Wick was extremely accommodating to my family and I’s needs and even came in under budget because they were very efficient and prompt. If you want a full…
James, Wick, Toro and Andy were absolute godsends. I dont know what we would have done without them! They provided the best, most pofessional service weve ever had. They made this the least stressful move ever! They took the utmost care with our belongings, treating them as if they were their own. I'm going to be recommending them to everyone I know.
I recently did a move with Budget Movers, and Jason & Toro were amazing! They were quick, responsive and professional. I was moved out of a 2 bedroom in about 3 hours!!! I’ll definitely refer them to all of my friends.
Prompt on time with efficient packing and moving. I have a ton of stuff but they are excellent in handling everything. Highly recommend.
