What customers said about small furniture moving
Ace Moving San Jose Local & Long …Ace Moving completely saved us when we had to haul three massive oak desks out of our Cupertino office space at the last minute. The team just showed up, quickly disassembled the awkward pieces, and had my whole workspace put back together in Sunnyvale before lunch.
Hello Movers Inc | 你好搬家This is my third time using hello movers and they are always quick and efficient while being careful to keep your items safe and undamaged
Fairprice MoversThird time using them, twice for myself and once for a client of mine, since I work in Real Estate helping buyers and sellers. I highly recommend these guys they will go above and beyond, fast and cautious and will lift heavy items in smart and reliable ways. highly recommend them.
Ace Moving San Jose Local & Long …We lived on a third-floor walk-up out in Evergreen, and these guys literally sprinted up and down the stairs with our heavy book boxes all morning. Ace Moving charged exactly what they originally quoted us, and they didn't even leave a scuff mark on the walls of our new Santa Clara place.
Ace Moving San Jose Local & Long …I really thought our massive L-shaped couch was going to get stuck in the doorway of our Willow Glen apartment, but the Ace Moving guys angled it out like it was nothing. They drove it over to Campbell and had it set up in the new living room before we even finished our coffee.
Ace Moving San Jose Local & Long …trying to figure out where all our heavy bedroom stuff went in the new place was giving me a headache, but they just asked where we wanted it and set everything up straight. gave us a solid fist bump on the way out and honestly worth every single cent—would hire them again in a heartbeat.
