Bay Area Movers

License has been REVOKED by CPUC. Currently under investigation for numerous violations.

These guys may not be for everyone but they certainly get the job done. If you want a good, basic moving service they will do it right.
They were late by an hour and a half, but they didn’t break anything, had a very reasonable price and were easy to deal with.
They turned up with a massive truck (we only had a studio to move but no gas charges), wrapped everything that wasn’t wrapped and started packing. The wife asked them to wrap the dining table a bit more before it was moved but other than that everything was done well. They also provided boxes and packing materials.
On arrival they moved everything into our new apartment within an hour and offered to help with unwrapping. Nothing was damaged, they did forget to unload a painting but brought it back a few days later after they called to let me know.
These guys work hard and do the job, I’ll use them again next time I move.

Affordable, fast, efficient. They will use the best method so that they finish in time. They have some good discounts as well. Alfonso was easy to talk to and he’s a cool guy.

I have used these guys twice within the last couple of years. They are very friendly, reasonably priced, and they take great care of your property and take careful time to wrap breakables and furniture to ensure no damage during the move. I have moved from apartments with stairs in both buildings and they never slow down. If you’re looking for a great rate and trustworthy people… I would go with them. The manager is super friendly and I’ve had no issues whatsoever both times. I will be calling them again for my next move!

Alfonso and his crew were hard workers — checked in with me the day before the move, came on time and added extra movers once we were at the new place to get done in time. Quoted me a price and did not make any changes to it. Paid a little more for some supplies, very good price on that too — especially since I had purchased a lot of packing supplies, I knew how much everything costs.
Had all the blankets and moving dollies. Wrapped everything very well. Good Job!

DONT EVER USE THIS COMPANY.
I used them back in October to use them to move from the east bay to the south bay. They showed up late, they take indirect routes to add to their time, they drop your items. I tried speaking with one of their employees who barely spoke English and I asked him how long he’d been working there, he couldn’t answer and gave me the impression that they are working with illegals.
When they quoted me on the phone they said they would remove all the packing from the premise when the left. Once they were packing up I asked them about the packing they said they don’t do that. They then said they needed to call their manager to ask. The team leader came back and said he would need to charge me 150.00USD.
That’s when their service went from a three to a one star (on my scale). I spoke to the customer service person on the phone and he started screaming at me saying «we never said that.» The worker said we would need to pay 100 dollars to remove the trash, so we paid it.
The next day I went out to our trash dumpster and the trash had returned. I called back that day and asked them about it. I told the customer service agent if they don’t fix this I will blog about this. He got frustrated and told me please do not. He even said he would send a 100 dollar gift card. Five months later and still no gift card.
Final thought: Fraud, liars and thieves.
P. S. I still want my gift card.
I would not recommend this company to anyone or anybody.

Don’t ever use this company.
The manager, Alfonzo, sells with a big mouth up front over the phone, but the actual job was unbelievably horrifying.
First of all, they were late for coming to our place for two hours and didn’t call to let me know about it even after one hour late.
Secondly, I had two bed room stuffs to move which would easily fit in 14′ truck, but it took FIVE hours to finish just loading everything in a truck which was too late to move in for my new condo rule, so that the truck had to keep all of our stuffs inside and stay over night. We slept in a new place on a floor with no blanket nothing because they didn’t pay us for a hotel room. Then, the next day job’s also took five hours to unload everything to finish the work.
When I did a move by myself with two guys picked up on street a year prior to it, I had finished everything within six hours for moving the same amount of stuffs, but a longer distance to drive. I thought hiring a pro would let me rest completely and still they could do the job within the same amount of time with just two persons, but they disappointed me immeasurably.
The manager made a big fuss about it when the move was finished and I complained about it. He didn’t think he did anything wrong with it and said he would never give me any discount what so ever even though it took 10 hours and over night. He even said I could suit his ass if I wanted to. He had a ZERO concept about a customer service. His promise up front was totally lie.
However, the lead guy who actually did the move took responsibility for the late work, so he made his manager to settle with two-​hour discout, but until then, it was a mess.
It is a horrible experience. Too much stress and I would never recommend anyone this company. PERIOD.

I am very pleased with the experience I had with PLM. I was planning to move my 1 BR apartment and I was very nervous because of variety of services and the range of prices the moving companies were asking ($ 350‑1400) for. So I googled «local moving companies» and the PLM website was among the other pricy moving companies. I called the phone number listed in their web site and scheduled onsite moving estimation which was free by the way. The owner and one of his crew members came to my apartment did a detailed estimation, explained what kind of packing materials I will possibly need so lately no surprises with the additional cost of packing materials. At the moving day they were on time and they did a superior job. Whole moving process took less than three hours! And they asked for the price they had mentioned during estimation no penny more! I highly recommend PLM for local and long distance moving needs.

I had a good experience with PLM when moving across town a few weeks ago.
There was a bit of a mixup with the scheduling (we have a 2BR apt full of furniture, and they had booked a 1BR so didn’t bring enough guys or a big enough truck). However, this really only affected them, as the move took a lot longer than expected (~10 hours instead of 4). They respected the original price quote, worked super hard and got everything done.
I’d recommend this business — it’s always a bit nerve wracking to hire movers, especially ones with low rates, since you never know what you’ll get. These guys are honest and work hard!
