L and R Transport

Larry and team were efficient and careful during our move within Redwood City. They finished sooner than initially estimated and showed up right on the dot. Larry responded quickly to our initial inquiry, unlike other movers who could not return phone calls, and he provided good advice on the insurance. I highly recommend this company and will use them for all future moves.

This is a long overdue review. We had to move from Redwood City to Sunnyvale in August 2015.
We looked up many movers, did a bit of research and decided these guys may be the best. We were neither wrong, nor disappointed.
Larry and Robert showed up promptly and exactly on time and gave us no-​hassle paperwork to fill out. Soon after, they worked absolutely professionally and courteously to dismantle everything and pack furniture parts with extreme care. They also helped us move our potted plants without so much as a leaf falling off.
They got to our new house in Sunnyvale and assembled and set everything beautifully a good one hour ahead of their quote. In fact they said they would have been finished sooner if not for our tricky bed.
Besides the service, it is very heartening to see a couple of hard working gentlemen whose business is no doubt a testament to their integrity and quality.
Thank you, sirs! You’re the very best!

L & R Transport provides excellent service! This is the second time I have used them and they did not disappoint. From the reservation process to completion of the move; was easy and efficient. These gentlemen take extra care of your belongings and provided great communication to make sure your needs are met. Their prices are affordable and the Unilocal deal gives you the extra savings. I highly recommend this business, and definitely will be using them for my future moving needs. Thanks guys!

Larry from L and R Transport was extremely responsive during email correspondence and showed up on time during the move. Him and his partner took care of all my furniture wrapping it up and positioning it in their truck to avoid any accidental damage during the move. Overall, one of the best experiences I’ve had with movers.

Awesome service from these guys. I needed help loading my possessions into a Budget truck we rented to move out of state. They showed up on time, knew how to load and absolutely nothing broke during the 900 mile drive. Seemed like nothing even shifted in the truck either. Would absolutely recommend them for your move.

They did it again! Robert and Bill moved an 8′ X 8′ heavy shed for me. If you have a difficult/​maybe impossible job, they are the guys to do it.

These guys will get my business in the future
1) Best price I found for a short move (90/​hr) for 2 guys
2) No BS hourly minimums for moves into the the city. Every other mover tried to pull this on me 5 hr min for a studio move 30 mins away… Aka rip off
3) They were on time… Can’t say enough about that
4) They were friendly and moved my stuff with care.
5) Complete service… They disassembled by bed and reassembled at he new place alongside other small stuff included (using wardrobe boxes for my sheets and clothing) included in the price.
6) They worked hard and deserved a tip… Which I happily gave
Thanks boys!

These guys are the best. We have moved all over the world and used a lot of different companies. We recently moved within Redwood City. Due to our lease expiring while we were out of the country, we had to put all our contents into storage and then move it all again into our new place once we got back. Larry was constantly in touch with us (even while we were overseas) and both moves went really smoothly. They were careful with all our furniture — wrapping everything they could and were really obliging when it came to placing our furniture in our new place. If only I could take these guys with me every time we move around the world! It would have to be the LEAST stressful move we have ever done, in ANY country!!!

We just completed our 2-​bedroom move with L and R, and we are extremely satisfied! Larry communicated well before, and they showed up early on move day! We had a three-​man team, and they were all channeling Herculean strength, and The Flash speed! We had more stuff than we thought, but the guys were great and muscled every box and piece of furniture without a single scratch. We will definitely call these guys again for our next move– I highly recommend working with them if you want the best quality of service! Thanks again guys, you really gave us so much peace during our crazy day!

As someone that has grown to distrust movers from past experiences, I have to say that L and R seems to be the exception. From the get-​go, I had a good feeling about this company. Larry was easy to get in contact with and even easier to stay in contact with. There was definitely an effort made to stay on top of his emails before and after the working hours. When I finally did meet Larry and a couple of his coworkers, I found them to be professional and kind. They seemed like pretty down-​to-​earth guys — they were the type of individuals that would make fun uncles, if that makes any sense.
I do have the rare opportunity to speak to the business from a very difficult move as well. In the middle of the move, it was found that our couch would no longer fit through the front door (I cannot say why). Larry et co. tried tirelessly for well over 2 hours to get the damn thing outside of the front-​door whence it came. To put this in perspective, this particular piece of furniture might as well have been filled with concrete for as much as it weighed; the front door was also very near our kitchen’s island, so this was by no means a straight-​shot. Given the difficult circumstances, the team was resilient and even shifted their schedule to accommodate the extra time. Eventually, they were able to winch the couch down to the patio from the 2^nd floor — cunning to say the least.
Lastly (and most importantly!), L and R Transport is extremely fair with regards to the bill. These guys are the definition of an honest days work. When it came to light that the couch had a few minor scuffs after the afore-​mentioned debacle, Larry offered to to drop the bill down from 5.5 hours to the original 3 hour estimate for the move. It should also be noted, even before the couch incident, he also committed to only charging me for 2 movers when in-​reality there were 3 of them. Suffice to say, I was very happy with the outcome. Difficult situations are unfortunately all too common; I happen to believe that a person is defined by how they handle themselves in those situations. By this metric, L and R passed with flying colors. Thanks for the great work guys.

Great experience from start to finish. Larry was very helpful and responsive by email ahead of our move. On moving day, he and his team arrived early and did a careful, conscientious, and thorough job — wrapping everything, confirming our preferences where appropriate, and working smoothly as a team despite the hot day and multiple flights of stairs. When they hit our wall while maneuvering the (very large) sofa into the new house, they told me about the damage immediately, and applied spackle and touch-​up paint within minutes at their own initiative. They also finished early and under the quoted cost. I am very glad I found them, and will recommend L and R Transport to all my friends.

Larry and his team were EARLY, efficient and kind. He made a special trip to move me 120 or so miles without a hiccup. When he gave me a quote he also offered cheaper alternative but I decided to take a leap of faith and book him. So glad I did!

These guys are the real deal! I had Larry and his team move me from a house to a new duplex. Nice guys, great personalities and a pleasure to do business with. Several other people mentioned the care they take. Unbelievable! They plastic wrapped everything. Hell, they practically plastic wrapped the plastic wrap! Estimate was 5 hours, they did it in 4.5 (which was a feat since I had been in my old place for over 12 years and had lots of stuff). They never took a break and moved nonstop. Beast Mode!
Plus, they are all veterans and I like that! Try Larry at L and R Transport. You won’t be disappointed. In fact-you’ll get on your computer and write a great review the next day, too!

Larry is beyond awesome. I’ve had pretty bad experiences with movers in general and L&R totally surpassed expectations beyond belief. If I could give them 10 stars I would. They were professional, friendly, took extreme care of my belongings, and didn’t damage a single thing even while having to climb up 3 flights of narrow stairways at my new place (which is a stupid apartment design). They made sure to think through what was the best way to move my stuff up the stairways before doing it.
Larry is also superhuman. He’s probably in his late 40s or early 50s and he was able to single-​handedly carry my heaviest box up those 3 flights of stairs alone, UNREAL!!! He totally put me to shame =)
Overall, I wouldn’t even think twice about using L&R again, especially when I have to move all my stuff out of my new place, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it. They are also very reasonably priced. Keep up the great work Larry!

My new dinning room table arrived and was dropped off at the end of my driveway. It’s over 300lbs and 10ft long. Not easy to get it into my dinning room.
Larry was happy to help me with a small job. They ended up late, very late to my job but Larry kept me informed. Nice to have someone who is willing to communicate so I didn’t have a problem with the delay.
They were very professional and careful with everything. Overall a job very well done. Thanks guys.

We scheduled a move with L&R on thursday night at 10pm, 2 days before our move. Larry was courteous and accommodating, and got us set up on short notice.
The next night we realized that we had more boxes than anticipated. We gave Larry a heads up, and he brought one more guy and a larger truck (on one day’s notice).
They movers were super cool, very careful with our stuff (they wrapped everything too), and were very quick about moving everything, so they didn’t have to bill extra hours.
The rate was very reasonable (the lowest of 4 estimates I got), and the experience was fantastic. We’ll definitely give Larry a call next time we move.

Larry and team helped me with two moves this summer — one from my apartment in Redwood City to my Bair Island Storage in late July 2014 and last, moving my items from Bair Island Storage to my new apartment in Palo Alto.
If you have a local move and need a reliable, organized, bonded and simply the best movers in the Bay Area, call L & R Transport. Larry Hinz and team have been doing this for over 20+ years and know how to get a move done on time.
Larry is responsive to email and calls and only asks that you have all your items boxed up and organized, ready to go. They moved my entire 1 bedroom, 3^rd story apartment with an ancient elevator to my storage unit at Bair Island Storage in 2.5 hours. This is a full apartment with bed, dressers, tables, couch and the ususal electronics.
They completed my move from the storage unit to my new apartment in the same time! Also, a little time on moving and storage units with L&R. They have a new moving truck — +30 foot one with the side doors and ramps. I did not realize that Bair Island had very tight corners and it took longer than usual to manuver to my unit. So, if you have a storage unit or location with narrow driveways, etc., please give the L&R team and Larry a heads up. It will save you headaches and surprises during the move.
The pricing is extremely fair, flat rate, 2 movers, $ 90/​hour minimum 2 hours, plus $ 30 for the extra mover. For my move, I secured Larry plus 2 movers. Time savings and efficiency is worth the cost. Plus, all my items were moved intact.
L&R is bonded, reliable and a great group of folks that can help make a move go smoothly.
They are the best movers in the Bay Area and recommend them for anyone requiring a reliable, bonded mover.

Larry and Michael helped us move a couple of days ago. They were both SUPER nice and everything — disassembling, padding and wrapping of the furniture, handling of our boxes and then quickly unloading and reassembling everything at our new place — was done professionally.
Next time we need to move, Larry will be our first call!

I contacted Larry at L and R Transport, and wow… I was totally and completely impressed.
Let’s be real– this was my first move with movers and I was pretty worried about it, but Larry and Michael were beyond professional, beyond nice, and beyond hardworking. Not only did Larry respond quickly to my email asking to set up a time, but he actually did a drive-​by of my apartment to scope out parking/​access when my email just couldn’t express it. He gave us a great estimate, and he showed up right on time on moving day.
They not only wrapped all our items and carefully loaded them into the truck, they finished early! We ended up moving to a street with the same name as ours– they thought it was a short move down the street… not one in another town! I think because of this he quoted low, but kept his word despite having to drive another 10 minutes away.
Not only did they do everything with record speed, but they offered to unload my car full of luggage– how amazing is that?
We tipped him and Michael generously, and I would recommend that to anyone working with these guys– They are the BEST.
Thanks for an awesome/​stress free move guys!

I contacted Larry this Monday, giving him a brief list of items we wanted to move on Saturday. He said they are available, and it probably needs 5 hours (1b1b apartment). I did not expect that much time and do not have 450 dollars’ budget. So we moved most of our fragile and random stuffs, but still a bed, electronics, books, small shelves, suitcases, desks, bikes, and boxes of random/​odd stuff. They came on time, moved fast without rest, disassemble the bed and reassemble it, wrapped furnitures, packed my hanging clothes with their wardrobe boxes.
Everything is done in 2.5 hours! including 0.5 hour transporting. It was amazing! I was too busy and stressful to prepare some water or drink for these two hardworking guys, and sorry for my bad memory I could not remember their names.
Definitely recommended for local moving. Life savers!
Tip: pack everything before they come, that will save a lot of time.
