Local Moving Companies
Our family wants to move into a larger apartment in the building we are currently living in. We would need a small, local moving company to move us so would be very grateful for any recommendations for companies who are reliable, careful with our possessions and reasonably priced. Thank you.

I used Sweet Lemon for a local move and they were efficient and had reasonable rates.

We used Jay's small moves to move from central to south berkeley. They did a walk through beforehand to get an accurate quote and we had them do the packing as well to expedite the moving process. I'd highly recommend them again.
We moved last month - just one mile - and had a great experience with Sweet Lemon Moving. Small local business with some sort of texting software that allowed them to be excellent communicators, and the team that showed up was friendly, efficient, and careful with our stuff. We took a risk and had them move our piano (instead of getting a separate piano company) and it is safely in our new home after going down some stairs and then back up a few more! Extremely satisfied. Good luck with your move!
I have been pleased with Jay’s Small Moves. They were easy to work with and got the job done fast.
We had a very good experience five years ago with Paradise Movers, https://www.paradisemovingservice.com. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
OCD Moving Services. I've worked with them a total of three times. Locally owned and operated. Daniel England (owner) and his crew are honest, careful, and don't back down from tough work. Our last move was extremely challenging and these guys were completely professional. They made it look easy! Nothing was broken, delicate items were packed with care, and everything was completed as promised. 5/5.
We recently used Sunny's Moving. Increadibly reasonable and exercised care with our belongings and home. I found no damage to the furniture nor our home. Good luck with the move.
