No grass grew under their feet! CA Movers arrived on time and completely loaded/unloaded my 3-bedroom home in record time. Alex and Gary were incredibly fast, efficient and polite. Jaime, the owner was awesome as he kept me in the loop the entire time. If you want affordable and reliable movers, don't go anywhere else!

The Movers were great. Mike and Jose came in and moved my whole 4 bedroom house into a storage in less than 3 hours. They were very professional. I will be calling them back.

We had a great experience with California Movers for our move out of the area. Adrian is extremely kind, professional, and a good communicator. The initial consultation was helpful and the day of the move went smoothly. Adrian and Gary moved our belongings with care and are very hard workers. They were positive and upbeat the entire day. We are also using them for a final junk removal. The cost for a full household move and junk haul away was incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend California Movers.
